Considering how well the *Half Hour* 400 Guarantee is going would you consider a tournament that starts on the hour, every hour, 800 guarantee 95 + 5 buy in?

Also, the On The :15 never plays. Maybe get rid of that one to clear up space for the on the hour guarantee.

Or, as an alternative, or in addition to, maybe consider bumping the *Half Hour* 400 Guarantee up to 500 Guarantee. And slowly keep increasing the guarantee over time so that the tournament grows into something really big.

That could happen.

It is going a lot better than a few weeks ago, but at 12:30 today it only got 2 players. Any guarantee that runs around the clock has potential to get pricey.

What is this crap?

Every time a bitcoin is 'accumulated' it is also 'un-accumulated'. So, I guess we'll wait for the "OMG, coins are being un-accumulated at an all time high. Why isn't the price tanking??" thread to cancel it out?

Extra coins magically appearing? Come on. Maybe you haven't heard that all transactions are public?
863  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do higher taxes on the rich historically correlate to higher economic growth on: November 13, 2012, 08:26:17 PM
Because you can take a higher % from richer people without them disassembling your body.

If the people you control are generally poor they have hardly anything that you can take without causing them great pain. If they would still be the most comfortable people in the world with half of their wealth you can take quite a large fraction of it without them risking their lives to try to end yours.

But here's my point.  Isn't savings a good thing? 

Yes, it's a very good thing. Anyone who calls it "hoarding" doesn't understand this, though.

Yes.

And also, ever coin is always being saved or 'hoarded' at all times.

It is a really bad article and a dumb statistic.
866  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 78% of Bitcoin users are smarter than the rest of the world on: November 13, 2012, 12:49:39 AM
I should just save and copy paste my reply to this topic.

That stat is meaningless. Most people use the services that most people use. These services often send out coins that were recently received. That means that even if everyone uses all of their coins every week many coins can remain completely still. It has more to do with a somewhat arbitrary coin management decision of a few of the bigger bitcoin companies.

I manage X bitcoins for many other people, even though we do something close to X withdrawals every week 78% of X coins have not moved in a very long time.

We decided to give 6-max tables a try again. They are all invisible by default, but you can open them at sealswithclubs.eu/open-tables

Six game types and all stakes up to the 40BTC max buy-in are available.

Until I get some rate limiting or auto-closing set up the krill requirement still applies to that page, but I've lowered it to 5000 krill.

Yes, they're legit, but they purposely hold your money for so long to earn interest or something on it. It's safe and secure, but I waited 4 or 5 days for my $100 worth of btc

That's no good, I wonder if they'll get it faster.
869  Economy / Gambling / Re: SealsWithClubs.eu - Block 210000 Party REBUY! on: November 12, 2012, 09:37:29 PM
We're getting close to having multiple ring game tables running around the clock, but after about 5am ET it gets a little bit slow.

So, we're offering 3x krill from 5-9am ET on all ring games to see if we can keep the action going.

Krill earns you rakeback and entry to special freerolls. More details at the bottom of the promotions page.

More specifically, Sean R in Washington is not happy.

Honestly, I think it'd be best if the US split into two - those with liberal values can have one half, those with conservative values can have the other.  Strictly speaking economical values here.  But it'd be an awesome experiment at any rate.

Geography by false dichotomy, would be... interesting.

So is the Monday PLO gone?  I'm not seeing it in the tournament list.

Yes, it is gone for now. Even a large overlay wasn't bringing many players. We will try again soon. You can open PLO and PLO8 SNGs of all stakes now at:

We have a credibility contest here. On on hand there is a 404 page on the other hand we have European Central Bank's white paper. I am wondering who will win? My bets are on the 404 page. </sarcasm>


lol, it really is a toss up.

The 5 is an extra, you don't need to pay it, but you'll get more chips starting off if you do.
45 goes to the pot, 5 to the house.
elgreco is correct...

When it is showing the rebuy, it would show another one... 45+5+5, or 45+5(+5).

Otherwise, when it is just 2 numbers, the first one is for the pot, and the second one is for the house.

-- Smoov


A rebuy shows as 45+5+R. The rebuy amount is the same as the buy-in (45), but there is no fee. You can rebuy whenever you are at or under the starting chip amount, for as long as the rebuy period lasts, it varies by tournament and you can see it in the tournament info section.
875  Economy / Gambling / Re: SealsWithClubs.eu - Block 210000 Party REBUY! on: November 11, 2012, 06:27:59 PM
There's a tournament in the lobby, *Hourly PLO8 50*, that supposedly starts on November 7 at 10:00 a.m.

Obviously, that's in the past.

I suppose it's not harming anything, I'm just tired of looking at it and it'd be nice to have that hourly available again, even if few people seem to want to play it.

Sorry. Thanks. Fixed now.
876  Economy / Speculation / Re: How long before the price tanks sharply because Silk Road is down? on: November 10, 2012, 08:51:36 PM
if Silk Road is down for ever

i'd buy up ALL the bitcoins, because you just watch as 5 new SilkRoad wannabees all pop up

Why didn't they already? Independently of SR being up or down.
My guess it doing that takes a while and you'd have to find the guts and environment to do it.

Because the risk/cost is X and while SR is open the reward is X/5 and when SR is down the reward is 5X.

More like a factor of two for the first one.
  And it depends, if silkroad is beyond their load capacity already it might not even cut into their profit at all just provide a service where silkroad cannot handle it any more.

obv I have no idea of the numbers, but it's the answer to your question of why not yet.

The Washington bill is a load of horse shit (not that the cops here really cared that people smoked even before the bill). It actually BANS people from growing it themselves and I heard (although I haven't confirmed this yet) that it approves up to a 25% tax rate on the substance.

I thought that I read that individuals could grow up to 6 plants...



They should be selling a license to grow these 6 plants and receive revenue through the permits and through taxing the product when sold through a retail establishment
Why should you need a license to grow a plant?

You don't, the plant will grow just fine without the licence. Regardless of what they call it it is a "don't get attacked by us" licence.

879  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why arent we spending our BTC? on: November 10, 2012, 06:48:54 PM
If anyone really thought bitcoin was going to the moon they'd have to spend them because they wouldn't have other kinds of money sitting around to spend. Starving or freezing to death doesn't get you to your vast riches. And unless you suck you should have/buy electricity, computers, an office so you can work to get more coins.

The reason that damn article that keeps popping up concludes that none are being spent is because they didn't bother to figure out what is going on.

Most people keep their coins in services that most people use. Even if every person used all their coins every week the service would still have coins that never moved if they use a first in first out method which makes complete sense since you would want the coins that sit still to be safe in cold storage.
