ok, the safari argument is a good one. still i don't bother betting when is see the others reflecting the odds exactly as I see it as my chances of winning are just too low. when the others "have no clue" i want to profit from that.

We are in the middle of a technology change. Soon, share offerings will pour in at a more attractive price, then people will start jumping ship. My advice is to invest in something like BFLS. I might offer it myself soon.

When the price of Bitcoin rises faster than the difficulty goes up then mining bonds should also become more valuable because they pay out Bitcoins.

hahahahha funny s**t. the guy who open the threat is still active on this forum. you guys can't leave the man go away

I wanna see you on a roulette table betting equal amounts on both red and black. Is this the kind of strategy advise people get at sealswithclubs, too? If all did that, nobody would win except the site owner even if everybody guessed exactly right the likeliness of every event. ... I guess you are just trolling given you are quite a bit into this whole gambling thing.

Considering that it really didn't take very much volume to lose that much on the price, I doubt it.

The more likely explanation, as I suggested earlier, is that nobody wants to leave their bitcoins locked up in GLBSE to keep open bids. Thus the bid depth on even the biggest markets like gigamining is laughably small. Occasional random fluctuations mean that someone decided to sell a few shares at whatever price, which took the price from the stable 1.50 down to 1.30ish, because there was almost nothing in between. Naive investors and speculators, ignoring the lack of liquidity, thought the new 1.30 number was somehow meaningful despite it taking just a handful of shares sold to get there, panicked, and sold more. Since there still was very little depth, this took us down to 1.01. A few small purchases later, we're in the 1.25 range again.

I'm not saying that 1.50 or even 1.30 is the right price for gigamining, but the kind of panic I've seen over these effectively meaningless price movements over the past few days is laughable. GLBSE really just needs to figure out how to incentivize market makers for stocks. There's not necessarily an incentive for individual issuers to do this, but due to transaction fees there's always an incentive for the exchange itself. Thus if they could get serious market makers into the exchange, the whole economy would be a lot healthier (a liquid market is a happy one), and so would GLBSE's profits.

I've got 124.6713914 left after buying an island and everything to go on it.  

I said "FINALLY!!" when I saw the first post.

Then I read your next post.

I don't understand how this is interesting in the slightest for online sales.  Why would I want to buy a prepaid Bitcoin card and wait for it in the mail instead of just instantly receiving my Bitcoin as soon as I pay for it?  And, hasn't it already been done with Bitbills and Causicisuccuisusucss coins?

So, here's my suggestion:  Push hard to get them into a store.  Any store.  Then push for more, and more.  You'd be a huge step ahead of Bitinstant in the retail environment..!  Even if it's just a trial run in a single 7-11 store, or a single slot on the shelf at your local WalMart, or   But that's what I'd be aiming for with these cards.

BTW, I do love the design.  Clean, slick, and noticeable.

After she made and lost 10 0.01 BTC bets:

> i found it tedious and not much fun, tbh
> not sure if that would have changed had i won though
> its too much work putting the numbers in over and over
> i mean, it saves the wallet to deposit into and u only have to type first number and it remembers
> but always a diff wallet to pay it

She's thinking now that the reason it wasn't updating was because it was saying "double check your amounts" because the numbers were too high...

She's made her first bet, 0.01 to win the max, with a 0.24% chance of winning.  Not surprisingly she lost.

She guessed 6942, and would like her free dime please, and is a newbie so can't post here.  Should she post in the newbie forum, or is my word good enough?

I think she plans to make the same bet 9 more times now... 

As said, I don't like it. But this is the picture I am currently getting. The commission has the power to keep it going at all (our) cost. I think people have no phantasy of what govts can do. I think we won't go hyper until debt is at 800% GDP. Because that is about where it happened in the past.

The German real estate market has a capitalization of 5 Trillion. Add the Dutch, Austrian, French, Finnish.... They can put a mandatory mortgage of 30% on your house to raise another 4 Trillion or so. I don't like it, but this is what I think they will do. After inflation, of course, because inflation removes the debt of house owners, so they can easily put new ones on. They did it before (1924).

In short, they will rip us blind to keep the system going. Forget about what collapse may happen, because it won't. Again: I don't like it, but this is what I think will happen, whether I like it or not.

You could look at it this way:

Suppose 1 BTC = $100 and 1 share of Gigamining costs 1 BTC. Also suppose $600 could buy 1 Gh/s in mining equipment..

False???

Imagine that 1 BTC = $100. How would you feel about 1.35 BTC for 5 Mh/s? Not so great, I'd reckon, since you would be FAR better off spending a few BTC on mining equipment of your own. Now imagine that 1 BTC = $0.10. Etc.
