hey, very cool - thanks & will send a donation next week, btw for newbs like me you need to use the MtGox Advanced API key creation option & the MtGosis Preferences are found at the top left of your screen, click MtGosis for the drop down menu when you have the app as your front open window - is there any way to have it permanently floating on top btw? It's really neat - my first time to use an API app like this   |

For those of you saying more guns = more crime, how about you explain Switzerland to me then. Almost every house has a military rifle and it's one of the safest low crime places on this planet.

@waveaddict, for me its 20/20 vision in hindsight when I first saw bitcoin it was at ten, then by the time I got some cash in it was near 30. I thought at the time the masses were on to it and there was no stopping of price(firmly believe we will get there again and more) I have nearly traded out of that bad position. I like your regular updates and explanations even though I have read a fair bit on trading since I got into this. Can you post a mock up email showing content of what your Premo service would offer?
dood, if you've "nearly traded" out of going in at 'near $30" at the mad June '11 peak when we're now presently hugging < $5 then you should be writing your own tipster newsletter imo, at least post your winning recovery actions for our edification & enjoyment - it can't be easily done without having added many times initial capital & then getting good market timing, interested to hear more on this & congrats for getting out of a hole if so |

triplehelix - ur tripping dood, everyone knows US>UK for that since forever & nearly 4 times > WTG gunslingers on ur "just slight HIGHER rates of murder" lol edit: guessing that the UK murder rates may have increased in the last few years, don't think that it was so PolPot before that though compared to the US, 3.9% difference doesn't make this possible & before it was maybe more on your end, like 5% or 6% more If the point of this debate is that more gun laws = less crime, then you lose, Otoh. Mexico has much stricter gun laws than the USA, and rates of homicide are 300% higher in Mexico. Mexico did not allow any right to bear arms until 1917. Still severely restricted today. See here: https://davekopel.org/Espanol/Mexican-Gun-Laws.htmnope, that was not my point, it was solely to point out the inaccuracy in that guy's post stating that there was a higher murder rate ever in the UK than in the States, ever - except maybe in the medieval ages or something 1,000 BC the possible reasons for it I don't wish to go there, it's the Internets FFS, same reason I don't argue creationism/ science here, what do you expect |

It was more the OP thanking him for being the thread bouncer that rubbed me up the wrong way, I felt that my participation was maybe unwelcome, btw I am not anti gun as such & I hope that came across in my original comment - I was just saying what I thought others of a non military background may make of the name, it's also no big deal to me what it's called anyway - if there exists a better name then that just helps the project to bring this up for discussion I will certainly though check it out & also donate if I find it of use which I'm sure that I will, just atm I don't happen to need it so there's no rush - oops as writing my Jessie alarm for $4.90 just went off - perhaps I may need it sooner than I thought that I may @cypherdoc ~ many thanks Otoh, You're absolutely right. I was amused by the comment, without regards to who or why it was said. It's comforting to me to see folks really sticking up for my project, even if it was inappropriate. In this case, it was inappropriate -- I have no intention to create a hostile environment, and I never wanted to suggest that people need to donate to participate. Sometimes I'm a little tactless... I am very much interested in seeing discussion about the program, and understand how others are receiving it. Feedback will help this project tremendously, completely separate from donations, and I do appreciate your comments. I think it's a little late for me to re-brand the program. The name was original "Bitcoin Armory" which didn't have quite the same "violent" connotation as an arbitrary "Armory." By the time I changed the name to just "Armory" I was already desensitized to the underlying meaning of the word. Assuming no legal troubles related to "The Armory", I expect I will just keep it and hope the same happens to everyone else. Hindsight is 20/20, but there's worse situations to be in... I hope you will forgive my tactlessness and consider spending some time with the program itself, and let me know what you think. many thanks for the explanation, understanding & apology which is completely accepted np - an offline cold storage for non geeks is so important imo for Bitcoin adaption in many fields, especially for the uber wealthy 1% of the 1% that the name, though maybe could be tweaked, won't actually affect at all the success of the project & if it succeeds then you can have different named flavors for different consumer demographics, ie for mine: The Secure Offline Newb Wallet which directs to Armory (Newb) login I shall certainly check it out & give feedback, I'm about to be traveling so it won't be just right now most likely & you never know, perhaps the name will become more appropriate as the project develops, added wallet lasers that eliminate all malware (BTC wallet sniffers) on your comp bundled in re tactlessness, lol don't mention it - I'm black belt at that & 50% of my posting is under the influence I expect, most mornings I wake up & think OMG WTF may I have done last night  |

"There is one one input to that, so that is where the jackpot will be sent: 1Nb2W2F56kuZeKAAhyEAb Tomfn3RPt4t2D" lucky Tom looks like they bought just the 1 ticket at 0.25 BTC for a jackpot win > 100 BTC = WTG! I'm happy to have contributed to hopefully making your day more awesome, though it would have been more so if I had learnt how to manage my wallets correctly & not had so many bets returned, next month they'll all be wagered again tho' & you could afford to splash out on say 4 bets or something this time maybe  |

I like it a lot & am learning plenty, with great personal feedback from WA on my first queries made today, as a suggestion for promotion just make a home page web site on http://sites.google.com or somewhere explaining what you offer, the 2 types of mailing list with prices & how to subscribe, perhaps some complimentary feedbacks from users, then put that with a link to it in your forum signature here so that it shows up in all your posts & others could also put it in their sigs too (for a sub discount of course maybe with referral codes/links so that you know who's bringing you the most punters & can then reward them relatively), ie: Waveaddict's Bitcoin Charting Subscription Siteassuming the gmail name: waveaddict is free otherwise something similar like WABCSS@gmail.com |

I didn't see any new donations to the project. Do you have any skin in the game?
I said that I had only just found out about it & looked forward to trying it out, that was very late last night my time - as yet I haven't tried it but freely offered my opinion on it's name as others have done which was obviously a waste of time - maybe as I hadn't donated anything as yet in the 15 minutes since I first saw it, I'm in no rush to try the wallet out & in even less of a rush to make any donations to it if at all now - congrats on probably bouncing me off the list of potential donators  You're going to let someone on a public forum who isn't involved with the project turn you off from the project? That's kind of a silly reaction if you don't mind me saying. Why not judge the project on it's merits instead of random posts on a public forum?

Otoh: When you re-sent for more tickets you still managed to have them all sent at once as one tx. They are separated into 0.25 amounts but they came in all at once with the same tx hash. I'll refund the extra since having multiple tickets with the same hash is pointless. It happened a couple times on this draw.... How did you do that? I just want to make sure it doesn't happen to others to! eg. https://blockexplorer.com/tx/5955a97fcbdf933a786dc8ef74281cfd7586699c0ebc0872078e7b859f019467ah sorry, I used https://blockchain.info/wallet & I may have sent the first 1 or 2 bets singly then I noticed that there was a + button which opens up extra tx to send & copied the details in that multiple times then pressed send as I assumed that they were all separate tx-es, but maybe the wallet seeing that they were all going to the same address then bundled them up - I'm a newb at wallets as you can see - I'll look in to it some more & experiment, I think that I prob did the same for 4 more bets that I made for a friend right after mine, many thanks for going to be returning my mistakes & I will bet them on April's Bitlotto next week - many thanks too for running this service with such fab odds |

following the Bitcoinica thread & just to say that I temporarily withdrew quite a lot of coins from there a couple of days ago via Mt.Gox code & it all worked perfectly, I was expecting some possible delay or manual processing but it was almost instant - under 1 minute, will post again when I make a deposit

just discovered this thread so watching & looking forward to trying Armory out, re the name I had heard of The Armory first so also was curious if there was some connection (Re: Armory: Cold Storage for the Average User! - hmm are they offering to cryonicise your AK-47s with you now or what?), having read most of the thread I know that there isn't - well from the OP I know that, but am not surprised that karma or whatever made the match in names as most peep's first word association with an armory is guns, a place to store guns & weapons - the fact that armories are mostly well protected & hopefully secure is very much secondary in people's minds & the fact that body armor or passive defense stuff may be in it even less so, I don't think it's a big deal that a headline grabbing illegal weapons dealing Bitcoin Tor site has chosen almost the same name but more that as someone else pointed out Armory is not really a good name choice for a secure offline wallet for non geeks, it associates too much in peep's minds with guns & ammo, that will put some folks off & confuse others much better as someone also mentioned, vault - as in the excellent BullionVault online service for physical PMs, so how about BitcoinVault if it's available (just checked, the .com - it's parked so open for offers I expect, I'd have bought it for you if it was unregistered, though I was expecting for sure it wouldn't be free), anyway though it's not crucial I think that a much better name could be found while this project is still relatively early stages (acknowledging the enormous amount of great work that you've already put in to it, but expecting this to really be a long term Bitcoin winner) & also I like the idea of a poll thread for that with suggestions & voting with you picking one or choosing your own after getting that feedback also could go non proper word as you said, like Bitcoinica does or Mt. Gox, Bicos Wallets say, BItcoin COld Storage Wallets I didn't see any new donations to the project. Do you have any skin in the game?

This site has serious privacy issues, it's bugged like hell. I can see all kinds of orders from other people... including name and address...
hey cool, I'm going to send them all a free sample of my latest prototype, 100 BTC for the activation code with 9.66% LEO discounts  |

I don't think that pirate needs any online hot wallets or VPS, why should he - his business business after funding is mostly (all) offline, I'd hope/I assume that he holds most all funds in offline cold storage, as in Armory - his web site certainly has no access to any BTC funds because no need to |

Although gold would be better suited for this, but i have no idea what the laws on gold are in PRC.
Unfortunately they do not have that right either. Article 3. The State shall pursue a policy of unified control, monopoly purchase and distribution of gold and silver. source: http://www.asianlii.org/cn/legis/cen/laws/rotcogas425/that article is horrific, totally draconian - I wonder if it's enforced as written, I was under the impression that the PRC gov was encouraging their peep's personal private purchase of PMs atm, gold especially, and that it was State purchaser of all PRC gold mining production for it's own coffers (a hell of a lot of world % produced) plus importing too for CB bullion reserves purchases but if it is so repressive re gold, ie no more than about an ounce can be taken out by anyone, then Bitcoins will serve a need there by those who wish to not be bound by said controls & so may flourish for that, whether banned at a latter date or not |

0.0% to the Government
bitlotto should change its slogan, from "anonymous, transparent, and cheat-proof with a 99% payout!" to just "0.0% to the Government" Indeed, though in the creation of coins & in the maintaining of the Bitcoin network & Internets then the gov gets to keep it's tax on the electricity used for this, in my case it's like an 18% sales tax + about 1% other tax that I don't know who that goes to, the power co or the gov, plus the tax they get from the power co's profits & their employees earnings & all the same on hardware, Internet connection services, etc - playing the Bitlotto doesn't really give them any extra revenue on top of what they already takes though & after you win & then spend your winnings you're taxed by about 20% sales tax on almost anything you buy with them, or for booze & smokes maybe 90% rate, petrol (gas) for a lot, etc etc that said - BitLotto tax free FTW |

50%! WOW!
Perhaps we have been doing it wrong all along. Instead of trying to get big businesses to adopt bitcoin we should try to get the the lottery players of the world to use bitcoin.
Breakdown of BitLotto revenue
0.5% in profit to BitLotto*
0.5% in operating costs*
0.0% in commission to the retailers
0.0% to the Government - to waste on stupid shit that you probably disagree with anyway
0.0% for Good Causes - ie not you
99% to winners
vs.
above chart
* split 1% since I don't know if BitLotto is profitable.
FTFY yep 50% surprised me when I looked it up & I've paid a lot in to that stupid tax fund over the years, from now on it's all going to go to Bitlotto except when the € jackpot is over €100M (when I'll play both), also if a few millions of lottery players cut out the middle men by using BitLotto the prize return for winners could probably go up as it's quite scalable without much extra work I'd imagine, say if $10M was staked then a return of 99.9% would leave a healthy $10,000 per week for the operator, even with 99.99% returned it would still give him $1,000 per week in beer money on a weekly draw |
|
|

In Europe we get only 50% returned in prizes, so a 50% stupid tax - now we just need BitLotto to have the same size of jackpots as it does, except that would be all the possible coins ever in existence until they're worth considerably more each  |
