You can always change your client seed to get the previous server seed
How can you change the client seed? Never found that option... Hit randomize. |

What I am attempting to do is to maximize the expected value of the logarithm of the bankroll.
I'm still confused. Is there a difference between maximizing the expected value of the logarithm of the bankroll, and maximizing the expected value of the bankroll  If x>y, log(x)>log(y) for all positive x and y, right? |

mechs: your signature doesn't fit on my screen properly. I don't know if you changed the bbcode slightly, or why it happened. Here's how it looks to me:

Maybe it's a result of the theme I'm using, and it looks fine to everyone else, I don't know. But I've seen other people who have copied the signature code I made and their signatures look just like mine.
It also doesn't fit for me on the standard theme. Odd, it shows up fine on my screen - I will make some changes What is your horizontal screen resolution? Does it still not show up well? It's fine over here. I was just curious. |

(if you want to maximize the log of expected bankroll growth - or some such)
If you want to maximize log(expected bankroll growth), you better maximize expected bankroll growth. If you want to maximize log(expected bankroll) growth, you better maximize expected bankroll growth. If you want to maximize log(expected) bankroll growth, you better lie down. Why is the log necessary? |

Please correct me if I am wrong... [POW] Proof of work acts as a limiter on the ability of someone to post a message over a broadcast channel. - It serves to deter SPAM.
- By making it more expensive to send a message, it acts as a way to reduce the number of messages sent over a channel, reducing the bandwidth+storage costs of each node.
The POW difficulty need not be static but could adapt dynamically in an effort to constrain the bandwidth + storage requirements of each node to some fixed level - One could have different POW requirements for each channel
I would discourage the use of the word "channel" because it's vague and conflicts with "chan," or "shared address," a decentralized multiparty communication method. Proof of work acts as a limiter on the ability of someone to send any type of message, period. This includes under-the-hood messages like pubkey messages. It serves to deter FLOODING. Spam should be handled client-side, for example by using Thunderbird. By making it more expensive to send a message, it acts as a way to reduce the number of messages sent over a channel over the p2p network, reducing the bandwidth+storage costs of each node and protecting the network from flooding-based DoS attacks. One could have different POW requirements for each channel mailing list, address, or stream.
Question about streams, there's only 1 now. When are more added?
When the devs decide on how best to implement streams, then implement them. See stream discussion index. |

Huge range between min and max loan amount is a red flag.

One of the things people miss all the time is this:
If your investment fails, how will you pay back the lender?
Because if you have no fallback plan, it's less risky for the lender to make the same investment himself.
umm day job?  Yeah right. Most of the loans in here cover amounts that should take a day or two of working at minimum wage to obtain, which is less time than BTC -> USD -> BTC takes. |

Bump.
So far I only got one offer, which I refused.
Changes!
Lower prices, only Bitcoin is accepted (I realized Litecoin is mostly useless and stupid.).
Added clarifications and what I would like to do.
I have free time, and I am in physical pain, which means I certainly am in the mood for making people rage over the Internet.
Any respected member of the community can get a free trial, provided they give a rating afterwards (good or bad).
Litecoin is useless and stupid? where in the world did you get that from? If worst comes to worst, litecoin can be exchanged for bitcoin, which can be exchanged for a bank transfer, which can be exchanged to fiat money - and cash isn't useless and stupid is it? Obvious troll is obvious, even if he's right. |

Just for laughs I "invested" a small amount. So far, after an hour I'm down -0.00025883
I'll let it run for a bit, but I don't have high hopes. I think some folks have figure out how to 'game' system or something. Or maybe it's just really rotten luck.
MD
You have lost 3 cents and you call it "really rotten luck?" Tip: there are bottles on the side of the highway worth 5 cents each. |

Anyways, I was just wondering If I could have some small donations to understand how bitcoins work. I have a offline wallet which is secure. When I have my miner, I will be sure to pay back the money that has been sent to me, just send me a pm with address and I'll get it right back to you. I'm going to go with a 5Gh/s Model from Butterfly Labs.
If you want to learn how Bitcoin works, your best bet is to get some coins on the Test net: https://tpfaucet.appspot.com/ You can viably mine with 5 GH/s on Test as well. Define "viable." I've found 50 BTC blocks with my CPU on the testnet. Since testcoins have no monetary value, finding any block at all should be "viable." |

Ah this was a long shot, thinking strangers was gonna help out, my bad.
Don't get us wrong, we might have lent to you if you lived near us and we could see you in person. However, statistically speaking, an account with 14 posts in the lending forum is likely to be a repeat scammer working under a new name, and continually funding those people in hopes of occasionally also funding an honest person is counterproductive. |

Here. Answer all of these questions:What do you need the loan for? How long do you need the loan for? How will you pay back the loan? If the loan is for an investment, what will you do if the investment fails? Can you provide ID, such as SSN, shoe-on-head photo, etc? Can you provide collateral—something easily sent (internet / snail mail) and easily sold for more than the cost of the loan? ( Steam accounts are not collateral) ( No seriously they aren't) Do you have any prior reputation? Expect a rejection if:The loan is for reputation (See On the "Confidence Loan" Trend) You have no reputation or collateral You plan to gamble or invest the money, but have no answer to #4. The lender would be better off making the same gamble or investment himself. You are Joey You fail to answer all 7 questions Your grammar is horrid |

That's a pretty interesting way of doing a loan  No further objections here. Good luck. |

hell i have more feedback than you so dont try shooting down my thread.
Well that's great, but: My feedback's risked BTC is > yours My activity > yours I have OTC ratings Except none of that even matters because: I'm not asking for a loan.What would be useful is links to where you "borrowed way more than this in the past." |

Above par loan request, congrats.
Just missing one thing: collateral / reputation.

Yeah, uh, entrapment - The act of government agents or officials that induces a person to commit a crime he or she is not previously disposed to commit. I mentioned that. Not legal for them to do that here, this is not the US. I KNOW! You're under arrest for entrapment. Geez. |
