I'll give you this loan. It's such a small amount, I'm not going to hassle with collateral. 1% per day is fine, but you cover the small transaction fee. If you agree to this, post your address and I'll send to you right now.
That was fast... My address is: 192fqgb5aCKrjNkudGqSWR6Nuu4J8tEMB7.
I can cover the transaction fees Smiley

Hello, I would want to make a loan of 0.005BTC. This loan is for gambling, if I lose the loan, my signature payment of 0.005 should be arriving tomorrow. I can offer you doge collateral of 200% if you want to do it. I will only give the collateral to the escrow unless you are trusted around here. Interest is 1% per day. Thanks Smiley

You could accept Paypal if you know the trader has a very good track record.  Somebody who has a lot of positive trust and been on here for a couple years.  They would most likely charge a small fee though, but you would get that anyway using local bitcoins.
Even this can be very risky. It costs a trader nothing to create a new account and the trading history does not mean very much for most trades

IMO coinbase is the best way to move BTC into fiat
Also, accounts can be bought or stolen, the buyer can turn greedy and chargeback. Many people had bad experiences with coinbase isn't it?
I think that selling localbitcoin accounts would be frowned upon by localbitcoin however I don't know how this type of policy would be enforced, especially if the account was being sold so the buyer can pull one scam, or a series of scams at one time.
Trust can be built, some people trade a lot just to wait for a large amount to chargeback. It isn't 100% foolproof to trust a person.
You cannot stop trading of an account as they cannot determine whether you changed the ip address and email or is it another person.

Martingale has proven time and time again to get people to go broke. Better system is to start with 1 unit and increase after every win by 1 unit. If you get on a hot streak, you might be on to something good!
You can get a lose streak. If you do it like this even after you are in a very long lose streak, you would probably not going to be recovering from that loss.

Thanks, and again, exactly. I've never made any 'simple-minded' or just 'I agree' posts anywhere on this forum, and when I state that I agree with what someone has said I'll usually write a few sentences why I do. But I'd just ignore this guy. He's just another user lying and exaggerating to suit their own petty agenda without any evidence. And his entire contributions to this community seem to be exclusively trying to sell his gift cards, and half of those posts seem to be just masses of bumps.


There needs to be no evidence because you know you spam, but I rather not go through all your posts, so I'll pick one out of the blue that happens to be on the first page of your profile.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=664016.msg7488995#msg7488995


You "think".....? Interesting, I'm glad you "think" that without having any actual knowing.  Could have actually been helpful if you knew, but you only "think". To fill up the rest of the space, you put your favorite domain type. Fantastic deep level thinking there. No simple minded replies you say? Now for yourself, go to Stunna's post and you can see (along with other members) how much you spam with your simple posts, and a lot of them being on the basis of "I agree". I admit to not being a contributor on the posting and social side of this site, but more so the economical side on the market places as I have helped numerous people from scams and such that lurk in those forums. Your contribution to this forum is absolutely nothing, zero, nada. Why? Because without the sig deals, you would not be here, nor would you post. Even with them, your posts are spam and pointless. The only thing I would give credit for is 1/4 of your posts on Stunna's thread, which of course you post on to increase your wages for the month.
Tell me, which one is more constructive. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=658484.msg7405545#msg7405545 or that? I believe hilariousandco doesn't express his feelings using that but continue to elaborate. In many occasions, I have seen him posting constructive posts, contributing his opinions. If there's no signature campaign, I doubt people would even want to post this often.
8887  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: P2Pool vs Normal Pool - Which one better ? on: June 26, 2014, 03:27:39 AM
Since P2Pool is very small it has a higher variance as it's small size creates a greater chance that it's two week luck will be something other then 100% this can work for or against you
In the long run, both p2pool and big normal pools can have the same amount of payout, I believe p2poool will have a bit higher payout.
Why would p2pool have a higher payout? There is nothing to support this (AFAIK)

The problem is that when difficulty increases a "luck" of 100% will be less, so if your luck is 90% during one period of difficulty and then 110% luck the next difficulty then your total reward will be less then if you had 95% luck over both difficulty periods (assuming a 20% increase in difficulty).

Additionally p2pool does not generally offer any kind of merged mining while most major pools do.
P2pool actually offers merged mining options. Pools usually require a fee, and due to the fact that most of the pools have high latency, you might experience a higher amount of rejects. With p2pool, you can setup your own node and you can experience a lesser latency. The luck will gradually even out. I don't think the luck affects much of the payouts. No pool can experience good luck for the whole time, the luck does not actually affects the payout since sometimes p2pool find blocks faster than normal pools.
Both ghash and eligius do not charge a fee and both offer merged mining.

Assuming no variance then both p2p and a "real" pool will have the same payout, however with p2p there is a greater chance of having some kind of variance (and a 50/50 chance of that variance of being negative) with the smaller size in relation to the whole network
There are both pros and cons for using p2pool or an actual pool. Pools could have downtimes, and you can setup a backup pool but it is troublesome to even withdraw from both sides, assuming both have a 90% up time, your backup pool might not have enough btc for the cash out limit and may charge fees. If you use p2pool , you can expect a 99% uptime since the nodes cannot be ddosed. Obviously, normal pools would have better support for newer hardwares, while p2pool don't, that is a major draw back for users.
8888  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is it normal that Bitcoin Core wallet takes hours to verify blocks and start? on: June 26, 2014, 03:23:15 AM
I installed Bitcoin Core on my laptop and copied ~22GB of bitcoin data from my PC (blocks folder, chainstate folder, wallet.dat ...)
I launched Bitcoin more than 6 hours ago and its still hasn't started. Task Manager shows that its using %60+ CPU and 500-600 MB RAM resources.

Is that normal?
Yes, it usually will take ~1 day to download the whole blockchain. Once downloaded your computer will serve as a full node while QT is open.
I think OP has already downloaded the full blockchain, the QT is rescanning now, not downloading blocks.
He is asking if it is normal to take hours to start so that is implying that he is still downloading the blockchain.

If he had downloaded the blockchain but kept QT off for several days/weeks then it would need to download the blocks that it had not previously downloaded.
That is a possibility, however, OP stated that it didn't start for 6 hours, if it is syncing, shouldn't it be showing at least the interface?

8894  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin (difficulty) on: June 25, 2014, 12:05:51 PM
From above post i found a Question as he say that if no one mine the difficulty will drop down..? really .. then the miners have to stay afk for a week everyone.. and .. i fount some important information that .. on 2140 years the bitcoin mining will be ended so no new coin will be generated and the difficulty cannot be reversed.. There are 21million bitcoins are in the world successfully mined .. and 1.5 million or 1million btc is of satoshi nakamoto he is the owner of the bitcoin.. Smiley
Not a week, 2 weeks since difficulty changes every two weeks. What do you mean by the difficulty cannot be reversed? I believe it will still continue to retarget even after 21million btc are mined.
8895  Economy / Lending / Re: Looking for small loan on: June 25, 2014, 12:01:05 PM
I offer you 0.005, 3% interest. Latest repayment date is by Saturday, 28 June. Post your address if you agree to my terms.
8896  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: CEX.io GHS Bubble ? on: June 25, 2014, 11:44:41 AM
I disaggree, you can indeed make profit in cex.io. Its more like an exchange where your shares pay dividend each day.
Assume you buy 1GHS today @ 0.0075BTC.
1GHS makes approx. 0.00003736 BTC/day in today's difficulty. Taking maintenance fee into account:
fee is $0.26/month for 1 GHS
which makes 0.26/660 = 0,00039 BTC/month
which makes 0.000013 BTC/day
So this leaves about 0.0000243BTC/day.
There's also a 0.2% trade fee.

So in order to stay profitable, you could either sell the 1 GHS today for >0.007515 (0.0075 + 0.2%) BTC, or tomorrow for >0.0074907 BTC, or after 2 days for >0.0074664BTC and so on.
Of course these figures will change after each difficulty adjustment, but logic stays the same.
The way I see it, the only thing that makes it a risky investment is the possibility of a website hack/shutdown etc. (think mtgox) since all the coins/ghs are online.


When your shares start producing negative value everyday, your entire plan goes out the window.  Now your "shares" are losing money every day, and the price of "shares" would have to skyrocket well above what you spent to compensate for the fact they essentially have a lean against them.
Your buying gh/s, that should only decrease in value (cex.io doesn't add new hardware for you, like they should in this type of model), the "shares" are losing value by mining with that ghs, and you are expecting to profit somehow?  Thinking you can make profit on cex.io is the same as thinking your going to buy a brand new car, drive it off the lot, and sell it later for more than you paid, can it happen, yes (maybe the ford gt or something), is it likely, no.


I didn't say its a guaranteed win, yes the ghs price is way overpriced, however if you play it smart you can be on the positive side.
So far by trading and mining at the same time with the ghs my 2.4BTC have grown into 2.65BTC. When the ghs will start producing negative value (i.e. maintenance fee=0.000013 BTC/day > daily mining output)
then one of the following will happen
a) Cex.io will make the fee much lower such that it makes sense to own ghs
or b) ghs price will drop to 0.

For the options you think would happen,
a) they would need much newer hardware so that they can lower the fees.
b) I can say if that happens, I would be owning Phs of hashpower

If someone wants to gamble, they'd do it themselves. Giving BTC to someone else for gambling doesn't make sense.

Dice isn't always about luck. People like me have complicated sequences that have better odds when depositing to double than others.

No. You don't. Gamblers fallacy..

Do not use this service guys. If you're going to give your coins away at least donate them to Sean's Outpost...

This dude obviously doesn't realize JD is no longer functioning either..

@turtle

you can give it to exeperience players who are in dicing games like me for over couple of years
and i know how to make money on DICE sites

@sonny

there always are strategies to beat dice sites

once i deposited 100 doge and ended up with 100000doge that 1000x more doge

@codyalfaridzi

so that means that you can choose where to invest in what guy you like im telling you this is one
of the newest and good things

its o most 100% with me that you will get your money back and profit as well !!!
Goodbye to all those gambling sites you mentioned  Roll Eyes. But seriously, if you know how to make profit nearly all the time, the gambling sites would have gone bankrupted. And why are you this kind to use other people's money and help them to gamble it and return some to them when you can actually gamble it with your own funds and keep everything?

I can attest that guy has spammed the living hell out of Stunna's thread with the most simple minded replies that are basically along the lines of "I agree". It's quite ridiculous how he gets paid for that type of thing because I know for a fact he doesn't not go through all his replies on that thread and count out the posts.
Because of him stunna limited the number of posts/week.

P.S- I am not gyfts's hand puppet n neither he's mine.
I don't think it's because of him though, the number of participants is rising very very fast. If the amount of participants keep on growing and people keep on claiming BTCs, it is unlikely for him to profit from that. I don't think Hilariousandco gets more than 1BTC per month based on his trust ratings given to Stunna, there should be plenty of people claiming 1++ BTC.
