Speaking of business, how does he, as a single person, manage both the investment side of things as well as the other side of his business, and still have time to post/chat on IRC? You can't tell me that his work is easier than MtGox, BitInstant, or Bitcoinica (either before or after its demise), and yet, that's the scale of how many Bitcoins he is dealing with.


Likely the same way that I, as an Online Community Manager, have time to do analytics on forums, develop marketing and social media strategies, and more all while having the time to chat with players in-game and through IRC and other medias. Ironically, it doesn't take that much time to write on IRC, and I think it's rather silly that you're going to try to use that.

440,000 BTC at a single address?! Damn. A guy could buy himself almost 90 large pizzas with that kind of scratch.
Yes, it really happened.

Ouch

If you can get some of the restaurants in Chinatown or some of the shops in Chicago, I would totally go there more often.

Would you consider selling any of the games separately? And if so, what are you looking for?

Ok i PMd you about possibly selling games separately buddy!

Aye, that's a little expensive for me for used titles. Thank you for the offer, though.

Rate is super broken for BTCto SLL . It says that 1BTC is 27813.302 SLL whereas it's roughly 1740SLL on average.

According to Google, 1 U.S. dollar = 4 347.82609 Sierra Leonean leones
Times Mt. Gox's 6.37139 $ per BTC, the result is 27701.69 SLL per BTC.

Perhaps you are thinking of another currency?

Ah, indeed. SLL is also an abbreviation for the Second Life Linden.

is it recommendable to sent more coins to an established account without pm ing first ?

Cheers Zyk

If you can already log into your account, sending coins to the deposit address listed on it will have them automatically updated as soon as the block chain updates. If not, it never hurts to PM in my opinion. Smiley

I have a thread in "securities" where I raise the issue of credit ratings.  I have also had a discussion with one of my larger depositors today about credit ratings/trust levels on the various deposit takers.

I was able to provide a few suggestions of where he could park some coins as I was comfortable adding 1000 to his current account but he still had some additional ones to park.  What was obvious is that he had a view on different people and how secure the different schemes might be.  Having mulled this idea over for quite a while, and acknowledging that I will probably be seen as competition, I am opening this up for some additional feedback:

1: Deposit takers and issuers of fixed rate bonds could apply for a credit rating.  This would require various metrics like assets/liabilities, length of time in business, verification of identity/location etc.  If information doesn't get divulged, that weakens the score.  Information would not be made public.
Probably a simple AA/A/B/C range will be sufficient, perhaps with a "+" or "-"  To obtain a rating would involve a fee (thinking of 10BTC currently) as this helps separate the more serious from the less serious people and the object is to provide confidence for people and their coins.
These rating would be published on the "Who pays what" thread.

2: Depositors could also request a summary of basic information.  People do this currently by reading the threads for the chosen scheme.  However, this doesn't contain the basic disclosure you would expect if you're handing over a bunch of coins to someone on the other side of the world.  So, for 1BTC you could get a report with some basic metrics to help decide if XYZ-bank is worth the risk of a few percent return on your hard earned coins.  (undecided if it would be 1BTC per company or a summary table of all deposit takers).



I see nothing wrong with this, and I was developing a similar system for my use. I think that having people pay a fee to obtain a rating shows who is really serious about getting involved in the lending community, and that is a must. However, instead of paying 1BTC for a report, how feasible would it be to have a monthly fee on a website with up-to-date information instead?

Alternatively, I would also like to see loan applicants applying to obtain a credit rating as well.

173  Economy / Services / Copy Editing Service on: June 18, 2012, 05:41:56 AM
I am currently offering a copy editing service to whomever is interested. To introduce myself, I have professionally edited a translated manuscript of Vampire of the Rio Grande. The title was originally written in Spanish, and was then translated into English. The first edition of the book was released in 2003, I believe. However, the copy editing on that edition was less than stellar, and I did work on the second edition. In addition to that, I possess a minor in Professional Writing/Book Editing.

The base-rate for the copy editing work is:

1 to 3BTC - 500 words
3 to 6BTC- 1000 words
Variable - 1000+ words

To those parties that are interested, I would ask that you send me a PM via the forums with a link to your copy, and then I will quote you for the price and send you an address. The prices are variable due to the different qualities of manuscripts that will be submitted, and I would imagine that some need considerably more work than others. My main specialty is in language that has been translated into English and needs work; however, I will accept other projects as well.

Note: The quoted prices are for a moderate copy edit. Heavy copy editing can be provided. Please note that in the PM if that is what you are interested in.

Second Note: If it a piece above 1000 words, I will provide a sample edit of the first page so that you (and I) can have an idea of how the project will flow.

Hey, anyone know where I can buy non-spoiling firewood?  I want to diversify.

Just keep it in your basement.  As long as it stays dry and insect free it will be fine for decades.

There's only so much wood, so I bet a decade from now I'll make a killing off my firewood position.

Sounds like a much better plan that this imaginary money! IT'S JUST LIKE WORLD OF WARCRAFT GOLD!

Bitcoin is about 6.80 on VirWoX before fees. Even with their fees, it's up above $6 there.

That made for a good break at work. I am thoroughly amused for the day. It's amazing what ignorance can create.
