You should take glbse off your list. Instead of GLBSE you could include bitfunder.com and btct.co which are filling the void left by its sudden closing. |

Earnings up until Noon MST today were: BTC50.5627901
These earnings have been retained and added to the 127.3 we had previously banked.
BAKEWELL now has BTC177.8627901 in reserve.
The next dividend will be paid out on Monday Dec 24 2012 before 12 noon MST, for earnings accumulated between now and then.
The remaining 1800 shares in the current tranche have been put up on ask @ .15
I am giving a 10% bonus on purchases over 100 shares through private transfer - pm me.
How much is currently being mined? (how many hash per second?) What will the payment per share be this coming monday? |

I have a Mac. It has been a very nice computer, I have been using it for several years. The problem I am now running into is that some programs are only available for the most recent version of the Mac. (like bitcoin-qt). So I am no longer able to upgrade the programs which I have, and a couple programs I wanted to add to my computer I was unable to add. Overall, my computer still works, but when I do get around to upgrading to a new computer, my next computer will probably be running linux.
Almost any laptop these days run linux so you can buy one and drop windows. Search "Ubuntu <mfg> <model> <#>". Like this: Ubuntu dell inspiron 5720. And you'll get this: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201202-10403/ You may even manage to get a refund, but the volumes & the $ mfgs receive for preloading adware and crapware tend to cancel out any extra cost. I run Ubuntu/Fedora/Mint/Redhat native on my daily dev 6 core AMD desktop and am stuck running Win on my quad core, 8 thread laptop because I need to use Webex. But this machine can run 4 simultaneous Linux virtual machine instances (to execute simulations of the sort of tightly coupled distributed systems used in telecom networks). [BTW, a virtual machine is a complete OS running inside a window (or full screen) of another OS]. You might consider using virtual machines instead of a different laptop just because its really nice to be able to pop from OS to OS. Run isolated linux virtual machines for your wallet and/or trading software and don't install anything else on them. And its a way to dip your toe into the linux world without having to lug around two laptops. See www.virtualbox.org for the software needed. PM me if you need some purchasing advice. Funny thing just happened: I went to the linked webpage, downloaded the software, tried to run it and got the error message: Usuported OS, this software requires mac 10.6 or later. I guess this is just another item on the lengthening list of software that is not available for my OS anymore. Grumble grumble. |

I am a bit confused by the recently passed motion. Are you no longer paying out any dividends? Why did the price just drop 50%, if the company is holding onto more funds, wouldn't that make the price go up?

Mining profitability will follow the same trend as before - down. Faster the rigs and network, faster it will happen.  Red is mining, green is selling hardware. This is just 2 lines for illustration. No scientifically accurate data is used. So you admit you are just making shit up? |

I seriously think of buying a set of these coins.... Does one know how to get them in Germany?
Put up a "want to buy" ad in the marketplace subforum? |

Further to previous post have now found a way to cancel bids (they're listed under My Assets). Would far prefer them to be identifiable and cancellable in the main market trading screen.
Should be there. That was one put in a month ago. Should look like this.  If it's not showing up, what browser / OS are you using? Wasn't showing for me me. Laptop running XP - tried in both IE and firefox. Just tried Chrome as well - not showing there either. I found a way to view orders by clicking on "My assets" (second menu row) and then clicking on "Market Orders" (third menu row). This does seem a bit un-intuitive and hard to find, it would be nice if on the asset listing page where it lists all the orders, mine had an option to cancel or change there on that page, rather than going through two page loads. |

It looks like one can place more bids for an asset than they currently have in their account? Is this expected? To me it seems the platform should not allow people to place more bids than they have bitcoins?

I think this is good call on Silk Road's part. It should reduce scams and ensure a high quality of service (uptime, etc.).
It provides an opening for lower cost competition of course. This is also good news.
I agree. Keep the bar high there. Wow, more than MPEx?! What do the pill kids take themselves for? Certainly it could be pushed to a point of being too limiting, but I think keeping out scrubs also makes the site more valuable.
How things have changed. There is a big difference between charging for a sellers account and charging for anybody wanting to do anything with the platform. If MPEx just charged to create a listing, then it would be comparable. The MPEx model for silkroad would be to have anybody who wants to purchase any products first shell out several bitcoins to get an account. |

oh, btw, this is just another example of DEFLATION coming to Apple prices.
Maybe. I prefer to hope that people are just realizing that Apple sucks as a company and their products suck as well. I have no idea how they got as big as they are selling such horrible crap. I guess there is a huge market of idiots that pay too much for inferior products.  I have a Mac. It has been a very nice computer, I have been using it for several years. The problem I am now running into is that some programs are only available for the most recent version of the Mac. (like bitcoin-qt).

Just wondering, what exactly do you mean by "extra conversion"?

So, yeah. Quite the night-vs-day difference between GLBSE with 30-40 stocks that all lost money, and that all together traded for a few tens of BTCs over a lifetime and that all together were worth some tens of ks and that all together made some hundreds a month on one hand and MPEx with its close to over 1mn BTC market cap, with its > 100k monthly traded volume and whopping thousands of BTCs to be distributed to investors each and every month. Quite the night-vs-day difference.
Just to nitpick a tad, there were a couple of non-losing assets on GLBSE (like the ones you mentioned, the passthroughs to MPEx). But your overall point is valid, the percentage of losers on GLBSE was high. |

How are you feeling about bayonets then?
Fighting with a bayonet is more closely related to spear fighting than sword fighting. Speaking of which, Rassah, are spears allowed? What about crossbows? Anything that leads to blood, guts, and glory If your blood and guts are flowing out, you will probably not have much glory. |

The problem with using coinbr.com is the monthly account fee. For people with small investments, there is no way that they will earn enough to make the fee worthwhile. For people with large investments, it makes more sense to just open an account directly on MPEx.
Already replied to that, no need to derail this thread again. Please discuss coinbr here. In short - starting with 10BTC investment you can consistently get more in dividends from any stock than pay on coinbr fees. Throw in some rudimentary speculation on price movements, you'll improve even more. You were the one who brought up coinbr. It is pertinent to this thread, since this asset was specifically designed for those people who wanted to put just a small investment into stoshidice, so many of them will fall into that "under 10btc" category. |

An Email has been sent out to all the share holders  Please respond with the exchange off your choice, and guys please bare with me on this one as it may take a bit off time as I am doing all of this manually. //DeaDTerra So DeaDTerra, this means the option to exchange the passthrough shares to real S.DICE stock via coinbr.com was silently ignored, without any explanation? You did not even ask me what possible discount/benefits can coinbr provide for the users and just quickly gave in to these who screamed loudest or even offered bribes? No problem with us, we have no intention to doing business in this typical bitcointalk way. Plus, it leaves us with free hands to provide a plan that will render most of these mpex passthrougs obsolete, should we find out something viable. The problem with using coinbr.com is the monthly account fee. For people with small investments, there is no way that they will earn enough to make the fee worthwhile.

This is pretty cool. It will be interesting to see how closely the prices track each other and how much volume there is on either exchange. |

2) Easy to audit bitcoins
Especially number 2 would be very important when a bank tries to sell you their "bitcoin certificates".
To audit bitcoins, you would need to know all the addresses that the bank is using to store the bitcoin reserves, and you'd have to have proof from the bank that they have access to all the private keys associated with those addresses. I'm not sure that this makes it any easier to audit the bank. A bank can say "here is our major offline storage address, and a signature to show we control the funds". Anybody can check and see just how much is there and that it's all real. Compare that to all the difficulties in auditing gold reserves.. You know how much bitcoins they have, but you don't know how many 'credits' they've given. So you don't know if those credits are all backed. In theory, one could of course do the same thing with bitcoins, issuing credit notes based on a certain reserve of coins. However, who is going to take a bitcoin "credit" in payment? With gold, we are forced to accept such payments. With bitcoins, there is nothing to gain and a lot to use. I don't see how people would be forced into using fraction reserve bitcoin notes. Why not use the real thing? People already trade MtGox codes. How do you know Mt.Gox isn't issuing extra codes? |

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=130401.0Seriously, as investors we're missing out by not having our shares floated on another exchange. Now that we've received the list from GLBSE, it's a trivial matter to import that onto https://btct.co/So why has this not been done? Some shareholders will want to sell ("Buy on Rumor, Sell on News") and some (like me) will want to BUY MORE! What was the final price on GBSE? Where would you put the price now? |

One possibility that occurred to me would be to default everyone's vote to "NO". Then a sneaky manipulator could not go in and get a quick approval. They'd have to convince nearly everyone else to change their votes.
I like this idea, although it might be frustrating if too many of the potential voters take too long to respond. Do they get some sort of notification that there is a new asset awaiting approval? |
