Litecoin Your Week Ahead, Sunday 14 April 2013

You have friends in high places. Very high places. Cosmic places! The planets have your best interests at heart. They understand how easily you could become disillusioned with a particular situation. They also understand how important it is for you to retain your faith. So they are doing all they can to keep you comfortable. With nearly seven billion people on Earth to look after as well, the guardian angels cannot always give you exactly what you want, just when you want it. But they certainly intend to do their best.

25 btc on any single roll & hopefully you can do combined shipping if I win a roll/s from both of your current auctions & ideally as requested in your previous auction thread combined shipping with the first roll that I won, so say all 3 rolls to go for the $50 P/P that I've already paid, many thanks.

50 btc on any single roll

I'm not sure if this is the best way to have worked it out, it's how I personally calculate the current ltc/usd price but I didn't make this totally clear in the rules, so please let me know if anyone objects to this, or thinks it fairer to just use Btc-e's ltc/usd price to calculate, or split the prize with 50 ltc for btc-24 & half for whoever is closest later using just btc-e's prices unless Gox is by then the larger exchange for ltc.

After careful checking I find that using btc-e's ltc/usd chart & info the high for ltc on 2013 04 03 was $5.89999

http://www.ltc-charts.com/period-charts.php?period=2-weeks&resolution=day&pair=ltc-usd&market=btc-e

& the max number of ltc in existence on that day was 16,350,454.5 for a total max market cap of 96,467,515 so < $0.1B

I haven't checked if the ltc/btc & btc/usd price would give a higher figure, someone else (like to potential winner if he likes) could perhaps do this & post the proof with links, otherwise I shall try & get round to it maybe tomorrow.

Edit: ltc/btc high on 2013 04 03 was 0.04490 btc

http://www.ltc-charts.com/period-charts.php?period=2-weeks&resolution=day&pair=ltc-btc&market=btc-e

& btc/usd high was approx $147 at a little after 8 am

http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD#rg30zczsg2013-04-04zeg2013-04-04ztgSzm1g10zm2g25

which gives $6.60 max per ltc so $107.9M market cap, will edit for 8am which will be less...

16,324,004 x $6.60 = $107.7M so yep this does seem to be when litecoin first gained a market cap of over $0.1B, if there are no objections this weekend then I shall pay the prize on Monday. When ltc equaled $6.13 (via ltc/btc on Btc-e & via btc/usd on Gox) was the tipping point approx.

@bixcoin, as stated in detail earlier in this thread, I paid about €150 for the docs, once that was done I was immediately paid all back dividends from 2012 10 08 up to my claim of 2013 02 25 which was 245 btc on 1,530 shares (bought mostly for between 1 & 1.5 btc), I then took up gigavps's recommendation to make an early upgrade to teramining which cost me 382.50 btc for 22,950 shares & this stopped the dividend payments from gigamining, due to BFL delay with shipping ASICs everything seems to be on hold but Gigavps has stated on March 25th that he will compensate all those who have missed dividends due to taking his early upgrade path, so far I estimate that I'm owed over 40 btc up to next Monday.

I think that he should abandon the, obviously failed, early upgrade plan & right now just pay out everyone's gigamining dividends up to date & until BFL deliver as he is still mining with this equipment we bought for him (in my case nearly 7 week's worth), in order to show some goodwill & fairness to those who have financed his ongoing operations, or it just feels like yet another exploitation of investors by smart operators in the mining field, don't even ask me about Youchdog's Bitcoin Mining Company.

bixcoin thanks for asking, in summary I am down an additional 137.50 btc that I gave to gigavps for the upgrade to teramining (along with the 245 btc back dividends that I returned to him to go towards the upgrade cost), plus the time & cost of the claim, plus about 40 btc owed in dividends from gigamining due to the failed early switch scheme, so overall it's not really working out so great for me atm.

137.50 + 40 btc =  177.50 btc @ $120 = $21,300

or actually 382.50 + 40 btc = 422.50 @ $120 = $50,700

BC Wallet working again, funds sent, no rush at all for the roll, my address on file, many thanks.

Edit: not just me, it seems: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=175173.0;topicseen

seems to be some fail on blockchain.info wallets atm, at least for me - can't log in on FF or Safari, will pay tomorrow hopefully when it's fixed

+1

I will do so tomorrow on a new thread.

Edit: as we're back above $100 atm, then we're well > $1B again so no need to do this right now.

Litecoin's horoscopes for Friday April 12, 2013

Next time you pass a tall, sturdy tree, remind yourself of what it must have looked like when it was first planted. When you read a great novel, stop to think of how the main idea must have first arisen as an inkling in the mind of the author. What things are when we first encounter them and what they can become, with or without our help are two very different matters. Something has already started this week. A process has begun. How far can it take you? Ask yourself, this weekend, how far you want to go?

@Bogart - which country are you in? I assume the US as you didn't say.

@Casascius - can I just use the previous address that you gave me for paying these & keep it as a permanent payment address, that saves having to sign a new one each time, also is it possible to defer shipping until I buy some other coins from you & combine shipping at the $50 in order to make more than just a single roll being sent for that price. A great assessment of the present situation on your blog, calm & balanced, many thanks.

Litecoin's horoscopes for Thursday April 11, 2013

Maybe you need to loosen up a bit and understand that your insecurity about being short of money is an overly rigid attitude. You could let go slightly without going bankrupt overnight. Today you may be too possessive about material things or about memories from the past. Be sentimental but don't hang on too tightly. You do need to stand firm until you find the answers you are looking for, but then let go and roll with the flow.
