201  Economy / Goods / Re: 23andMe DNA Test Kit - Free + 2 BTC shipping on: November 30, 2011, 05:24:04 PM
While the prepaid kits are indeed 'Gift' kits, I believe that applies to all kits 12 months past the purchase date. Some communication from 23andMe has led me to believe the kits may still be processed, but I can't guarantee anything. I suggest only parting with the 2 BTC if you're fine with that..

Alright, I'll take the risk. PM me a payment address.

These kits, if not expired now, will probably expire very soon. It has been over a year since their purchase date.

Are the kits that you're selling "gift kits"? This webpage says that they cannot be used more than 12 months after the purchase date. Would love to get one, if you can somehow show that the kits can still be used.

Looks good, would love to see this gain traction!

I had some problems while registering. '+' is a perfectly valid character in an email address, but your form doesn't accept it. Second, I hit the upper limit of 18 chars on the password. Lower limits are good, upper limits are unnecessary and annoying.

I sent an INR withdrawal request on Nov 17th (and again on Nov 21), received no response. Is this exchange alive? How do I get my money out of here?

I think the effort should be put into a decentralized stock exchange, not another autonomous one.  One where the tickers, issues, portfolios, contracts, etc are all kept in a blockchain type system.  The entry nodes are merely market makers much like the real stock exchange, you could also route your orders through a preferred market maker etc.. Your portfolio, balance, etc is not actually stored on any of the sites, but in the blockchain unlocked only by your private key.  There is obvious logistics issues to work out here, but I think through the use of PKC and the blockchain system, it is all doable.

For a decentralized stock exchange, one could consider basing it on Open-Transactions:

I'm fairly sure that these ~500000 transactions belong to MtGox. Does anyone remember the 424242.42424242 BTC transaction after the MtGox hack? These coins can be traced back to that one.

Edit: although, it doesn't make sense that someone was mining on eligius directly to a MtGox wallet...

A Mechanical Turk with bitcoin pay outs. There was a project like it started before:

+1. This would help get bitcoins into the hands of more people, which can only be a Good Thing(tm).
208  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Ebay Stores Competitor using Bitcoin Payment on: November 17, 2011, 03:25:11 PM
I think "hedged escrow" is a much needed option for such websites to gain acceptance, with BTC fluctuating like it is right now. It would remove the sellers' risk of holding BTC for the duration of the transaction. I know of at least one bitcoin marketplace that already does this, quite successfully. One simple way to do this would be to sell the escrowed coins on mtgox, and buy back coins later when the funds are released.

unless you put your name in a field or something
Or your devotion to tonal bitcoins…

What's worse is, I can also see the tonal bitcoin devotee's answers to all the other survey questions. This survey isn't particularly private or secure...

I am thinking of a base rate of around 0.08 btc/GB.
Could shareholders and users weigh in with their opinions on what a reasonable price would be?

FWIW, I always thought 0.05 BTC/GB was quite cheap. 0.1 seems reasonable. I speak as both a user and a shareholder.

Can you at least tell us how ? How do we know you are not just a puppet account of GoWest scammer ? I think this was just an impossible game that is to promote various websites like bitcoinsforchristmas.com, bittleships, betforbtc etc. without any link with getting the 10 BTC price. Been scammed on here, AGAIN. No surprise. Well done scammer !

You gotta be kidding. Not everything is a scam. I have never had any prior interaction with GoWest, but I do religiously follow his blog and I believe he provides a lot of value to the Bitcoin community. Here is the chain that led me to the coins:

I assume everyone found this reddit page, since it was publicly posted here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Money/comments/ly4ut/money_my_wife_thinks_that_shit_is_everywhere/

The comments at the end of it talk about "grave of fireflies, S<Y>D, cloudy mind". A google search led me to:
http://soundcloud.com/s-y-d/tracks

The comment on the first track, called "grave of the fireflies", has a user BTCHint saying "Flat money!". Yes, "flat", not "fiat". Searched on google for "flat money" bitcoin, and found this youtube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9LaSrxtWfgc

Latest comment on that video says: "If you go to Arnold Schwarzenegger's email service, then youfoundthecoins."
Arnold Schwarzenegger's email service = mailinator.com (haha, that was a funny one!)
Check mail for the user "youfoundthecoins", it's a link to a bitcoinsforchristmas page, where I could type my address and get the bitcoins!
It looks like this mail has unfortunately been deleted now.

Thanks. Spoilers available on request!

Is this what you mean? https://imgur.com/I0dJ6

Still don't understand how that will lead us to the 10 BTC !?

How will the winner get this 10 BTC ? GoWest send it directly / manually to his address or what ? Redeem a private key they found on Internet ? Where the moneys at ... LOL ?

It's completely out of my hands.  It will be automated for the person that finds them.

Yes, I think I found them! Watch for a 10 BTC transaction to the address in my sig. Thanks for the fun Saturday morning, GoWest!

Why do you keep putting your tophat on my lunch?

Duh, I'm stupid, all that clue did was send us to this thread.

217  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Dr. Nefario (GLBSE owner) alive? on: October 29, 2011, 09:10:06 AM
I've tried to contact him a few times over the last month over some GLBSE issues, no response.
His last forum post was over a month ago.
He is usually more responsive than that.

Has there been any recent life signs?

Seen on the glbse forum: he was involved in a motor accident and in the hospital, but is back working on GLBSE issues.
218  Economy / Speculation / Re: 9 days - 8 green 1 red - is this unprecedented? on: October 29, 2011, 04:13:36 AM
Another indicator is hater activity. When things look grim they come out of their cave to rub it in our face, but when there's positive development they're more hesitant to reiterate their doom and gloom prophesy.



Loved the graph, sent some bit-cents!
219  Economy / Speculation / Re: I am predicting a spike above $3 on: October 24, 2011, 08:55:57 PM
Speaking of this stuff, does anybody know where bitcoinity and bitcoin charts and them get their databases? Are they building them from scratch since the start of bitcoin? Anybody have access to a downloadable price timeline?

You can download the historic data from the bitcoincharts API. It has mtgox trades from the time a bitcoin was 6 cents.
220  Economy / Securities / Re: LIF.A and LIF.B, market funds on GLBSE, and LIF.M, shared mining contract on: October 21, 2011, 10:16:57 PM
I would like to announce something slightly different toady: LIF.CX - Currency Exchange Fund.

Very interesting. How would you determine the amount of fund allocation to BTC and USD to do this market making? Will you also be changing this allocation as BTCUSD goes up and down - holding more in USD if its falling and more BTC when it's rising? Or is that a more risky proposition?
