144  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin was bought for the first time? on: June 29, 2013, 06:00:09 AM

I am writing a scientific thesis : development of new means of payment.

As with all the money Bitcoin meets several criteria. One of them is the fact that Bitcoin can be exchanged for goods or services.

But there was a question. Who was the first known decided to sell a product or provide a service for Bitcoin? Why he decided then that he would be able to spend the same Bitcoin?

If anyone has a clue, I'll be very grateful.

P.s. sorry for my English!

Good question. The regression theorem states that things can not come into moneyness by itself. There has to be a reference to yesterdays prices, the day before that and so on all the way back in time before money existed. At that time the value would start with intrinsic value, just like in barter.

Bitcoins has no intrinsic value, and thus is at odds with the regression theorem. Personally I think the regression theorem is wrong, or at least you have to modify it. Modern people have no problem accepting that the fiat money has no intrinsic value, and it is quite obvious that bitcoin in the beginning, even if it had no value, could in the future aquire exchange value.

I've not studied the source carefully, but my understanding is that the regression theorem explains a way that a thing(s) have achieved moneyness in the past. If it does claim that bitcoin having value is impossible it is clearly wrong.

Hi,

Where did the roaming rebuy of 25 chips BI go? That was a fun one I would say.

It's been changed to two dailies:

Daily Rebuy 75 2k guar
Daily Rebuy 25 1k guar

So there are three daily rebuys counting the Midnight 50 rebuy and two that are larger once per week on Sat and Tues.

If OP is not being sarcastic, which I suspect he may be, this is preposterous. Thousands maybe millions of people get working Bitcoin (remember it's essentially magic money) software for free, how is this possibly anything except amazing?

I am not being sarcastic. I agree the bitcoin protocol is amazing! I love bitcoin, nothing has made me more passionate currently! But cause I question some ethics and how they handle things, automatically makes me enemy against bitcoin? Also I separate bitcoin-qt from the bitcoin theory cause they are very different things. If I have an issue with bitcoin-qt or the core dev team, that has nothing to do with my view on bitcoin.

The "core team" is just a term for whoever is doing it best.

Regardless of any shortcomings there may be, it is good enough to handle millions and millions of dollars worth of business and it is free to use, so they are giving out more value than almost everyone in the world. Maybe linux devs and a few others surpass, but they've had a lot more time.

The schedule is still in flux and really always will be.

We can offer essentially unlimited self-sustaining tournaments, but we can only subsidize a limited number. There is an art to figuring out what these will be, we don't want to cancel them too fast, we also want to move on and try other games, we're trying to find the right balance.

Over a sample of 1000+ games we had to consistently pay people to play in the 10 Afters. At the same time, 10 chip SNGs ran much less often than previously, we assume because enough people started playing the 10 Afters instead which made the 10 chip SNGs not quite fill.

Offering 24 "MTTs" that only got 1-2 tables often even with large negative effective rake isn't as good as trying to build a few daily that are more like actual MTTs and let SNGs take the demand for smaller games. It may take some time for action to return to them, but we'll try to speed that along by adding rewards as soon as we can.

There will be new MTTs in the 10 to 100 range coming soon. If we do many at once we worry that all will fail.

Hm well some of the new ones look nice I guess.

For me personally, this update is terrible. I live in Asia so I basically can only play between 9pm - 10am server time. Now I understand that midnight is less players / money. But there are always the regulars every night. I don't have a really big bankroll (yet good management) so I can only play 100 BI and less. Now with this update I think I can play half of the tourneys I played before Sad

Can't you just lower the GTD of 50chip / every7? I don't care if the 50chip is only 1k or 500 GTD. I just want to play some poker.

Other then that the people in chat seem to be also upset about the 10after.. but I never played that so I cannot say much about that.

I guess you are still adjusting and tweaking, good luck with that, just wanted to share my opinion.

NLNiko, I saw you were the only one in it when the change was made and assumed you'd still want to play, I sent the 5 chip price difference to your account (silently, but it did go).
Thank you for that.

That's reasonable, we'll put the Every Seven back with a lower guar and note the guar in the title, not doing that has been a mistake.

Edit: The "Every Six 600 guar" with 38+2 buyin is now online. It will run 4 times per day at 5am, 11am, 5pm, and 11pm ET. We've realized that roaming games are harder for people to follow and we're only leaving the Roaming Rebuy like that (it goes every 9 hours).
151  Economy / Gambling / Re: SealsWithClubs.eu | Largest Bitcoin Poker Site | No Banking | Fast Cashouts on: June 24, 2013, 08:53:46 AM
And in the morning the 20 chip 600 guar changed to 25 chip 500 guar.

NLNiko, I saw you were the only one in it when the change was made and assumed you'd still want to play, I sent the 5 chip price difference to your account (silently, but it did go).

The 50chip tourney was missing for a week. Then back for a few days. And now I don't see it again. What is up with that? Hope it will be back, I love that one. Thanks.

edit: every7, plo8 after10, seem also to be missing.

We are redoing the schedule. The 50 chip at 7am was never supposed to return, that was a mistake. The games you mention are being removed also and some tweaks have been made to others so that we can keep them. The hourly 10 After games all all done, they weren't popular enough to be sustainable and seemed to hurt the microstakes SNG ecosystem.

New and substantially changed games:

Wed Big Ante 2000 guar - The ante is equal to the big blind. Three smaller rounds are added to the beginning of the tournament to make it last roughly as long as a normal game.

Big Prizes 100 - Every prize is at least 500 chips, enough to enter the tweaked 5pm which is now:

500 chip 4.20k guar - a 480+20 with 4200 chips guaranteed.

Sat Rebuy 12k guar - At the same time as the old Sat 10k, and with rebuys allowed.

Friday 15k guar - This was the Friday Swell which had been bouncing between 13k and 14k.

10 After NLHE 250 guar - Runs once a day at 8:10pm ET with a higher guar than when it ran many times per day.

10 After PLO 250 guar - Runs once a day at 9:10pm ET with a higher guar than when it ran many times per day.

Look for more additions in coming days.

Sent 2 pms no response to freemoney regarding multiple disconnects in a 200 chip tourney (10 am 2k gtd) during their last issue.  They said they reimbursed people....I haven't even gottten a response.

Screenname helpplease

I'm sorry I forgot to write to you.

That investigation is not finished.
154  Economy / Gambling / Re: SealsWithClubs.eu | Largest Bitcoin Poker Site | No Banking | Fast Cashouts on: June 22, 2013, 11:06:19 AM
You missed the last meeting spike it is allowed because can't really be controlled by site and people are allowed to sell their accounts per micon. I like it I just know if I bought a 50k krill account it would be mainly for the 1k usd monthly freerolls and as soon as I bought it they would lower it because that's how my luck rolls.

Buying and selling accounts is a terrible idea. There are very few with 50k+ krill and you always have to wonder why someone who clearly plays a lot would want to part with it. Beware of scams.

We aren't going to pretend it isn't happening (if it actually is) or push people to hide and trade elsewhere, but that doesn't make it a good idea.

I am looking for a clarification. Tonight in chat I posted that I won the daily 10k at satoshi poker. several players in chat play there as weel.  I then had a conversation with several players in chat about satoshis current traffic. Gank seemed to get very angry over this. And told me I am being warned about talking about other btc pokersites.

Am I at risk of being chat banned for talking to othet btc pokersites w/ players that also play on these sites.

I am in no way in any affiliation with satoshi poker and would never spam anything about satoshi poker.

Swc is my first and fav pokersite and I don't want to lose my ability to us chat because I sell shares quite often

Thank you for any info  

Congrats on the win. You can talk about whatever you like in the chat.

Account "Collusion" sent reimbursement to players who played against 19 accounts, mostly in PLO 3/6 who were clearly working together.

My site only accepts bitcoin. To accept old style money would probably put us out of business one way or another.

Player PL08monster keeps scrolling that you have to download the new client or you will have trouble all night.

Fuck that god damn shit.

I am using a browser.  If the god damned site doesn't work, take it down until it does.



We're sorry for the trouble, this was emergency maintenance.

You don't need to re-download the client.
158  Economy / Gambling / Re: SealsWithClubs.eu | Largest Bitcoin Poker Site | No Banking | Fast Cashouts on: June 18, 2013, 02:40:47 AM
We are aware of the problem. We will be back in a few minutes.
159  Economy / Gambling / Re: SealsWithClubs.eu | Largest Bitcoin Poker Site | No Banking | Fast Cashouts on: June 11, 2013, 06:21:05 PM
I can't resize tables in client and the tile option overlaps the tables which is not good.
kinda limits the # of tables I can play [screw cascaded!]

I'd settle for notes functionality hard doing it via notepad

Both are on the todo list.

Please don't implement or encourage HUD capabilities. This is one of the best things about swc. Keeps it fresh and will keep the fish around longer.

We don't plan to encourage or aid HUDs, but if we get large enough I'm sure it will happen.

Making a new account to avoid being tracked is easy at Seals, all you lose is your rewards status.
