bitfreak:
How many levels are there, btw?
Am I right if i say the passwords for each level sum up to a hash? Which might be needed to solve level 5?  Huh

You can set up your own ponzi and make profit here:

How do you make the profits?
usual ponzi scheme:
- guy One pays 1BTC to the deposit address
- guy Two enters the game with 0.5BTC (overall pot is raised to 1.5BTC)
- ROI is 34%, guy One is first in line, he payed 1BTC, return is 1BTC x 34% = 1.34BTC
- guy One receives 1.34BTC payout (overall pot is reduced 0.26BTC)
- guy Two must wait for others to refill the pot for his payout
- repeat until ponzi collapse


tl;dr: Get in early to make profit Wink

1) It is NOT anonymous at all.
That Bitcoin is anonymous is what the media told you and not what bitcoin.org says.

[other stuff]
Bitcoin is still Beta and not ready for mainstream adoption.

8 ) Since bitcoin is like cash, it's a thief's dream come true, because once you send the bitcoins, they're gone. The scammers and con artists will ceaselessly zerg the Internet from the convenience of their terminals in far away lands, in their never ending quest to steal anything they can.
As you said...it's like cash and cash can be stolen from you.

What's your opinion on a separate Loans and Lending child-board in the Marketplace board?

The Services section of the Marketplace is getting flooded with more and more "i need a loan" threads making the Services board look less and less varied. There seems to be a huge demand on loans and currently the IBB alone is managing all those requests. A separate board could build some market for that and maybe even lead to some business competition.

Instead of dry ice you can also use phase change technology to cool you gpu to sub zero temperatures:



Both for CPU but maybe they can build you a GPU version:

It shouldn't be impossible for someone to set up a secure JavaScript based wallet service where your keys are encrypted by a client-side password. You'd lose everything if you lost your password though
Someone is working on that: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=36169.0

A little more than a year ago, someone bought a Pizza for 10,000BTC https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137.0

Just saying you shouldn't see Bitcoin as a way to make instant profit, it's more like a long term investment.
52  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What would you like to buy for BTC? on: August 09, 2011, 05:39:53 PM
and to own the guy who buyed a pizza at 20000btc.

I have been using the 24 hour average as my exchange rate, and it appears that gives too much incentive for my order volume to be greatest during down markets (or perhaps the problem is simply that we have basically been in a down market, with small blips up, since the Mt Gox hack). This then means that when I exchange btc -> USD (which I have to do a few times a week in order to pay for Amazon and other purchases), my loss has averaged greater than 5%, which is about when I get from Amazon.

Are you doing the exchange btc->usd on MtGox by hand?

I'm currently thinking of automatizing the signup process for the service i offer, which lead me to the very same problem you described here. I think a good solution would be to do a nearly instant and automated exchange on MtGox or Tradehill.
- the users checks out on your site, exchange rate based on freshly updated MtGox weighted avg. (save it)
- as payment address you tell the user your static deposit address from MtGox. (if there is more than one open order in process which does have the very same btc amount, add a small fee of 0.00000001 to make the price unique in the processing queue)
- the user pays to your static deposit address on MtGox
- poll the MtGox API until you see the payment in your account
- initiate a sell order through the API at the saved average exchange rate (since there was a transaction delay from the user to MtGox, double check current avg. exhange rate and see if you can get a better price per BTC)
- remove order from process queue
- release Amazon voucher

This way your account would be based on more stable USD and wouldn't hold any swinging BTC. You still have to count in all transaction fees on MtGox and withdrawal fees and compare it to the affiliate discount...

The BTC price dropped from ~$12 to ~$10 in the time it took to log me in and allow me to input a trade.
Use the API, write a bot, move to a location closer to the MtGox server, stay logged in, type faster, disable images in your browser... :-/

The comic is shitty but funny.
And also it's based on a true story: https://blog.glbse.com/ , https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28732.0

Quote from: theatalantic.com
The problem with Bitcoins is the same thing that people love about Bitcoins: They leave no trace. It takes an incredible amount of computing power to create new Bitcoins with a PC
[...]
And a complicated algorithm keeps the total supply steady. Once these digital coins are created, they're still just a handful of bits and bytes, a little piece of encrypted code. There is no fundamental value.
I liked that part much.

I love BASIC myself...  GOSUB FTW!
I thought you were looking for a python friend?

I'm specifically looking for someone who knows anything about python

Please don't ignore me. T__T

Can't we just all be friends?
59  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bounty 1 BTC for a new Friend - All my friends are ReTards on: August 09, 2011, 09:58:59 AM
my friendship proposal to indicasteve, python style:

Code: (friend.py)
friends = 0
while (friends < 1):
   print "\n#foreveralone.jpg\n#"
   knowledge = raw_input("#Do you know something about anything?\n>")
   if knowledge == "yes" : friends += 1

print "\n\nI made a friend! \('u')/"

Wait, people are still paying for pr0n?
Yes. What do you think where the warez porn you download comes from and why there are so many porn sites? I will quote myself from another thread:
Plenty of people do! To give you some numbers: x-art.com +30,000 paying members each month, videosz.com +37,000, pornpros.com +60,000 , incrediblepass.com +75,000, scoreland.com +100,000 , realitykings.com +360,000 and these aren't even the biggest and represent only a fraction of the market. Plus plenty of online sex shops, live cam sites and an endless number of amateur sites with 1 to 3000 members. There are even people who pay for gayasianpiss.com (be warned, this site keeps what the domain name promises)
And now let's please keep this thread ONTOPIC. This thread is a proposal to sign you up at realitykings.com for bitcoins. If you don't want to pay for porn, ok, but please don't flame here, thank you. Smiley
