I used https://bitcoinbuilder.com when it first came out; worked pretty well. It's MtGox-only, but you could ask Josh for the source.

Interesting concept. I won't go for it, but I'll watch carefully.

Steam accounts don't work as collateral. I believe it was PatrickHarnett who first got scammed when lending with a Steam account as collateral.

The actual thread is wayy back in history, but I did find this:
In one thread a steam account was used as collateral. Yours is probably worth more than $63.

The last one I remember that happening the lender got burned on the loan, so... Wink
Well then the lender got a lot of cheap steam games. Life is tough, but I bet the lender managed to sell off the account for nearly the cost of the loan (if not, then the lender made a poor decision in the first place)

No, Steam gives users several ways to recover accounts, it is not safe to use them as collateral, or to buy them.

New possible site design offered by TempleRunAI

https://i.imgur.com/BrfTdIi.png
I'd prefer one that's responsive, because the site is a real pain to use on mobile (even high-end models).

Just put this in your address bar and hit enter. Then you can add it to your bookmarks.
Code:
data:text/html,<title>Satoshi to BTC conversion</title><body>Satoshis:<input type="text" onchange="document.getElementsByTagName('input')[1].value=parseFloat(document.getElementsByTagName('input')[0].value.trim())/100000000"></input><br>BTC:<input type="text" onchange="document.getElementsByTagName('input')[0].value=parseFloat(document.getElementsByTagName('input')[1].value.trim())*100000000"></input>

On Chromium based browsers, you can triple-click in the above box, right-click, and select "Go to..."

That would be a lot more astonishing, Hannah, if you weren't betting on crazy low odds.

Honorable People: dooglus | iAndroid | usagi | MattFoster42 | zeroday | MysteryMiner | pirateat40 | Vladimir

I just noticed your signature.  While I enjoy being listed a "honorable", I'm not sure being in the same list as pirateat40 is good for anyone.  Is your list meant ironically?

I meant the pirateat40 that was in the Just-Dice chat. Remember?
That's gonna cause a problem for people who were here a year ago.

Thanks for the list, FoxPup.

greyhawk, you're quoting people on my ignorelist and it's not very nice Sad

I can't read ignored quotes Tongue:


Saves me so much headache. Unfortunately, it means I can't read ignored posts at all unless I unignore—so I don't ignore liberally.
Is that a browser extension? My googling returns nothing.

Before generating the list I said it was probably due to vlees and nimda both hitting 0.0001% about twice as quickly as expected, and that does appear to be the reason [...]

So the whole site's luck is still affected predominantly by a single lucky roll.  If only one of the two of them had hit the 1-in-a-million, as expected, luck would be very close to 100%.
Woohoo!

Danke schön. I'll keep those two because the former makes interesting points sometimes, and Goat is funny. Also he's never wronged me on a trade, so there's that.
Besides them, the list is people I've never heard of, so I'll assume they'll make a nice addition.

My list only includes people who don't show up in a thread unless they want to bitch about something. lol

Code:
... mods mods mods

Uhh... I can see some of those, but I tend to not ignore high-profile people, mods, or those who I've done good business with.

My ignore list:

That's mighty big of you. Can you elaborate on how you can stand r3wt? It must be some kind of black magic, and from what I remember of the black magic extortion thread, black magic is srs biznz.

Also, I assume gweedo said something useless either pleading his case or claiming to be vindicated by the fact that he's ignored by people. Something along the lines of Gandhi's quote. If I'm wrong, or he said more than 2 sentences, please do quote him.

Does anyone here have a nice ignore list I can borrow from?

Here's mine. I'd say maybe 1 in 10 are actually worth listening to some of the time. A few others no longer post (e.g. bitlane) so maybe you want to unignore them for historical purposes.

Code:
.
 30d CD APR: 25.50%
 90d CD APR: 26.05%
180d CD APR: 22.00%

why is 180d so much lower than the others?

It's a greater obligation for TF, and the future is uncertain. The utility of having your money for a longer period of time becomes outweighed by the liability it creates.
But why a rational investor would buy that instead of a 90d then?
The future is uncertain both sides, I might need that money now and if it is locked for 180d is much worse than 90d...
Is there really anyone buying those? Why?

There's no guarantee that after the first 90d cd expires, the cds will even be offered anymore, let alone at the current yields. Thus the 90d has a higher yield as an APR, but the 180d cd has a higher concrete yield, in terms of actual BTC. If you think the 90d will still be offered at 26+% 90 days from now, go ahead and buy it.

This saga is the greatest thing to ever happen on the forums.  I may send some pizza myself. 

I think I'm out of the loop on some of this. Links?
look at joey's trust page references...

The forum does not use UTF-8, or any other flavour of Unicode. It uses ISO-8859-1, or at least, that's how it serves its pages.
Really? In 2013?

They seem to conflate "bitcointalk.org" and "Bitcoin" a lot.

On page 18 they reference antifragile without saying it by name.
