Please add BITVPS as a whole, though it's difficult to understand who exactly owned it when.

No, interesting list. But i think the snafu shouldnt really be part of it. The coins werent stolen. A roll-back means something different.

* It was an error
* No theft, nobody lost real 1300BTC
* You were honest and spoke with the shareholders
* The shareholders wanted it this way

So i dont see it justified being in this list. I might be wrong though about what happened.
1. You could say those coins were basically stolen, but have been subsequently lost: while the net difference was ~0, since they had been wagered the thief would "owe" the casino those coins.
2. This would only apply if "assuming the thief won instead of losing, he would have been able to withdraw".
3. But if he won he likely wouldn't have been able to withdraw more than the hot-wallet, since doog would have noticed something wrong before processing the withdrawal request.
4. But if (3) happened, this would have caused an even greater scandal for the casino, causing fear not to the investors (like it happened) but to the players, which is much worse.
5. So you could say that the actual amount stolen was "the hot wallet + the missed fees + the hipotetical damage caused in (4)".
6. Since the hipotetical damage is near-impossible to calculate, I'd go the easy route and just assume he stole the involved (1300 BTC) amount and be done with it.

Yes, I have just spend 10 minutes to go through the whole thread and to look at your postings. I have found nothing of value.
Just a graph of the chart and some meaningless chatter.  jimmothy already said it all.
Congratulations: you just wasted another five minutes of another human beings life.
This implies that 5 minutes out of 10 weren't wasted.
Not bad.
Not good, but definitely not bad either.

Not upon a late bid, but this:
Quote
Failure to provide the USMS with a copy of the wire transmittal receipt by the deadline will result in disqualification, forfeiture of the deposit, and award to another bidder.
Is this common on expensive auctions, or are they just plain insane?

NO RANTS, please do not answer if you do not know the real answer to the actual question.

My anus looks like the object encircling the other three items - except mine's bigger.
Technically the Axe is not encircled by the rings, and we're not sure about the gun either.

Funniest part of that was the clause that $200k deposit is non refundable upon a late bid.
I don't understand, can you clarify please?

Satoshi created Bitcoin, so 10 satoshis could buy you, like, 10 whole BITCOINS!

Why would you like to regulate the free market. Yes, although as a long term investor which never divest. I have vested interest on this rule. While one would leave the game when the profitability is too low and switch to other places (like dicenow.com for me, they even offer leverage option by up to 10x)
Also, if you have heard of BTC-DICE (a shameless ripoff of just-dice by another Chinese, stock listed on 796.com), they limited the max invest amount when they launch (they claim it is for the purpose of testing the system without over risking themselves). While the result is that everyone is always pinging the server to wait for any new people to divest.

tl;dr: Don't fuck with free market

+1

Designing a system that works is vital.

A system were you just artificially bar people from joining when they want to, doesn't work unless you handle very well the join queues (e.g. using auctions or fifos).

If you are selling please tell me why. Thanks.
Trust has been eroded by bad communications.
AM's value is the trust investors had in the company + the steady dividends, gone the trust gone the investors, gone the dividends gone more investors.

Or, let's put it another way: would you trust a semi-anonymous unregulated Chinese company who basically have no reason nor incentive to keep its word anymore?
Maybe!
I'm not saying they'll just screw you, but if you totally discount the possibility then you are a delusional fool and you should invest.
Otherwise do some math, discover your price, and buy only if the actual price is lower.

Just an FYI--do not attempt to send XCP (Counterparty) to your wallet using Poloniex at this time.  I tried that yesterday and my XCP are gone into the ether.  Poloniex did respond in a timely fashion to my support ticket, stating that they are having a problem with XCP at this time.  I don't see that anywhere on the website though. Undecided  I don't want anyone else to lose their coins.
I'm puzzled, again.

You claim poloniex didn't credit you some of your XCP, so you advice not to send XCP to poloniex? Implying it's safe to send other currencies? Seriously?

Just don't use this site at all! It's not that complicated!
273  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Just-Dice.com : Invest in 1% House Edge Dice Game on: June 10, 2014, 12:13:34 PM
Any plans for a LTC dice site?

LTC?  Ew, no!

Just to add my 0.02, I would invest in LTC dice, at the moment my LTC is just sitting dormant.

A lot of us would

Doge has a huge community but LTC has a big one as well
Problem here is that LTC community is delusional, as opposite to doge community who (I hope) are in it just for the lulz.
LTC fans are seriously convinced that LTC is [innovative|the next big thing|silver to Bitcoin's gold] or other crap like that, while reality is that it's just a copy+paste coin like dozens and dozens of others. Actual worth: ZERO.
doge is another copycat, but it's born from the lulz, for the lulz. Its innovation isn't in the coin per-se, but in a bizarre "marketing" which is basically "we know it doesn't make sense but lolz". So it's a joke, but its fans know it's a joke, so it's fine.

Disclaimers:
1. I'm not sure if this is doog's line of reasoning as well
2. Likely I won't bother to reply to LTC delusional fans

275  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Just-Dice.com : Invest in 1% House Edge Dice Game on: June 08, 2014, 11:50:08 AM
You are missing a bit thing here: most of the coins are stored in a cold wallet.
Any authomatic mechanism such as those you describe should need to have access to that cold wallet, which would make it not a cold wallet anymore.
This implies that the dead man's switch he implemented needs someone with access to the cold wallet to scan its private key into the system.
276  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Nxt :: descendant of Bitcoin on: June 06, 2014, 10:06:11 AM
Trying to decide whether or not to dump my Doge for Nxt. Thoughts?

I'm biased, but so is everyone in this thread and you knew that so here's my thoughts:

DOGE was a fun experiment and a *great* contributor to the awareness campaign for cryptocurrencies. It's a great community and I got nothing but respect for what they accomplished.
*But* everyone knew that DOGE was a short term venture. It has lasted way longer than anyone expected, but the truth is that it is just another coin. A coin with great adoption, I will give it that, but ultimately there is nothing you can do with DOGE that you can't do with Bitcoin or Litecoin.
And there is nothing you can do with Litecoin that you can't do with Bitcoin.

NXT is a paradigm shift. NXT allows you to trade assets, invest in IPOs, send encrypted messages, use aliases instead of complex adresses and it's non-inflationary and doesn't require any energy. And this is just the status *right now*, NXT has barely begun rolling out the features like Smart Contracts, Dividends and Options in the AE, DACs, Freemarketplace etc. and NXT is also looking into implementing anonymity.

NXT is the only serious pioneer since Bitcoin.
Blatant lie.
There are many serious pioneers.
NXT is one of them.
There are loads of crapcoins.

The fact that real pioneers are just a few among a sea of crap, doesn't authorize any one of them to claim they are the only one.

We are very sorry that it took so long but please understand that Bitcoin transaction confirmations are not under our control.
Much lol, it's things like that that make me think that outlawing lying might make sense...


big lol on this reply.. the end was evidently very very close..
Well, that could have been said even 6 months before that...

Well that's up to him, but aren't they legally binding? It's not going to look good if they publicaly pardon him then it turns out it was just a sneaky trick to get him back. I'm sure he'd require something in writing or whatnot as well.
A nice Maginot line you are drawing here...
279  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen. on: June 02, 2014, 12:06:43 PM
I'll sell 1 BTC once the price rises enough that I can buy a small house for myself with it (roughly $50,000 per coin should do it).
Out of curiosity, where do you live, that houses are so cheap?

That being said, sorry but you are deluding yourself.
There are not enough houses in the world for the price to go so up.

The other coin I'll hodl till the end no matter what happens.
The only thing money is good for is spending it, it only matters on how you spend it.
280  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen. on: June 02, 2014, 12:01:46 PM
now I seriously believe each btc will trade more than 500,000 us $.
so yes, I believe I will also join this new wealthy elite eventually

Do you have any logic behind this quote, or did you just quoted a random figure out of the blue?
He would like to have much money, and completely fails to understand that if everyone is rich nobody is.
Typical idiot bitcoiner's fallacy.
