What's mafia?http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Newbie_Guidehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_%28party_game%29http://cataldo.freeshell.org/mafia/mafiascum04.swfWhat's this?It's a forum mafia game with real BTC prizes. What do you think?? What's the prize?It's 90% of the pot, distributed to everyone that wins based on their contribution to the pot. Everyone with at least 250 posts can sign up and get 0.05 BTC (added to the pot) for free. If you'd like to wager more (and win more!), sign up and send me a PM. How do I sign up?Reply here. If you have at least 250 posts, I'll deposit 0.05 btc for you. You're free to deposit more (and you still get the 0.05 btc bonus). If you do not have 250 posts and want to play, you'll have to buy in at least 0.05 btc. PM me. Day/night times?Day is 10 days, night is 48 hours. Roles and player count?Depends on the sign ups! I reserve the right to stop signups at any time.

Seems like blockchain.info is defaulting to anonymous payments (1.5% fee) if you don't specify it now.
Some notice would be nice

What are the thoughts on how things are going to be distributed? eg. Where to send the bitcoins?
I'm thinking I'll put up a very cut-down clone of the WBX software which will allow you to log in using the same OpenID credentials as you used at WBX, and will ask you for a bitcoin address for the funds to be sent to, and will allow you to make additional comments about your account, and upload supporting documentation. What's not clear is how long to wait before distributing the funds. I guess the first set of funds can be distributed immediately upon the 1 year anniversary, which will be calculated with the assumption that everyone will put in a claim. But I doubt everyone will, so there will be some funds left over - and I don't know what to do with those. Some people will presumably find out about the repayments late. I want to still be able to refund them up to some point in time and not have to tell them "sorry - you're too late". But I don't want to be holding funds indefinitely hoping for claimants to come forward. So I guess some kind of cut-off date is needed. Ideas? Honestly, it's being over a year and most people have less than $5 worth. I'm pretty sure that after the first week there's going to be zero new claims anyway. |

In the custom hardware form, one moderator has being forcibly changing the topic names to things like "In which xxx fails to understand yyy".
Few reasons why I'm against this:
1. It's confusing, especially when that mod edits without the edit showing up on the timestamp
2. It's putting words in other people's mouth
3. It's a micro form of public shaming for lack of knowledge / stupidity
Mod edits should clearly be marked as such, and they need to be objective (or reconsider people with mod powers that treats this forum as a playground).

The PIN number is actually practically useless.
I highly recommend using 2FA via Google Authenticator. The PIN is mostly a placeholder for gAuth in all the interfaces, however, it's also protection against your email address being compromised because the PIN cannot be reset in any automated fashion, which means an attacker could probably reset the password and get into your account, but could not trade or withdraw. Cheers. Google Auth 2FA is pretty awesome - don't forget that you can and should enable it for your google account too. |

That's quite a spin, Peter. SILVER has 3 upvotes and 4 downvotes. Given enough time, a week or three, it's pretty obvious I would have been approved. However I decided to list on BitFunder instead. Both exchanges have their advantages. However, in this case I feel BitFunder was the better horse for several factors including security of the wallet and the newswire. Sure, BTC-TC has some advanced features as well. Perhaps in time burnside and Ukyo can work together on a shared system and the community would benefit from that. Perhaps not, it is just an idle thought.
Hmm. WRT your other comment. I didn't mention BTC-TC above so please don't put words in my mouth. I did not (and would never) talk smack about BTC-TC. I like burnside and I respect him.
I do like the newswire, it's pretty handy! I definitely need to consolidate all the notifications on a single page somewhere and do something similar. Regarding the wallet security, can you elaborate? I've gone to great lengths to secure things effectively, most recently by reducing the balances in the hot wallet and requiring manual withdrawal processing on large withdrawals. The site now doesn't expose more than ~$1k to the internet in general, which should greatly reduce the probability of us being a target. It's also low enough that I can easily afford to cover it if something goes wrong. I just want to make sure there's not some outstanding issue I might be missing? Thanks! I really like how btct sends me an email with every transaction, dividend, and notification from the assets which I own. (Hint, hint, nudge, nudge, BitFunder *cough*, when my order gets filled I should get a notification instead of not finding out about it until I log in several hours later, and only then if I check the transaction tab) What I really, really love about BTC-TC, and what makes me sad I couldn't list there right away, are the stats. I *love* stats. I love the analysis page on BTC-TC in "My Portfolio". A lot of investors like to get as much information as possible. I hope BitFunder can move in this direction too. Another thing I like is the PIN number system on BTC-TC. Very nice. It makes me feel more secure. One other thing BTC-TC could do though is copy BitFunder's "cancel" button right on the market view. In comparison BitFunder could add a "Fill" button like on BTC-TC's market view. But these are just usability concerns to save a few clicks here and there. Getting back to the issue at hand, someone should create a bitcoin market stats site somewhere. What ever happened to stochastically.com? I'm talking, the bloomberg.com of bitcoin, you know what I mean? That would be cool. I'd donate to a project like that, if it was done right. The PIN number is actually practically useless. Keylogger? Not going to help Guessed password? If you were dumb enough to use an easily guessed password your pin number is probably too. Trading on phones / tablets?  |

[...] it's quite hard to find trusted members that won't chargeback I bet it is... but what will keep you from doing a chargeback? I manage hundreds of Bitcoins in my btcinvest fund, I've done work for many people, and really the only way you're going to lose out is if bitcoin massively falls before you can get it to mtgox or if I somehow die while I am sending you the PayPal payment. |

The underlying economic reality of the situation is that the vast majority of the population aged 15 to 35 is otherwise unemployable. They have no practically usable skills or any value, and it is more productive for society as a whole to keep them tied to a monitor in a room somewhere than any alternative. Consider it very cheap prison, which is what it is, keeps them out of the way. (Yes, you may think that at the very least they could dig ditches or pole dance, which while not particularly useful still turn nothing, ie their own time and body, into something, which worthless as it may be still wouldn't be completely worthless. This however is not true. A sandwich dropped on the floor is completely worthless, not just mostly worthless, and just so one of these useless tenderfoot youths is also completely worthless - they'd cost more to organize and employ at ditch digging than the value of the dug ditches many times over).
Consequently since they're locked up online they're all going to be "competing" for a vague "designer/copywriter/seo expert/webdeveloper" useless nonsense. The notion that the prices for this could somehow be propped up by some form of collective action leveraging some entirely imaginary bargain power is risible: they have no bargain power whatsoever, the sums paid as consideration for their "work" are simply private charity, as all the "buyers" are strictly aware, just read clients from hell and you'll see it plain. Organizing the pointless into a shitstorm of lulz may sound like a decent project for poking fun at them, but other than that it's an exercise in wasting time.

I am selling paypal for Bitcoins. If you have some BTC and want to get paypal USD for them, send me a PM (you'll need to make a post first on this forum before PMing). I will do a maximum of $100 USD a month in total (to everyone). Current rate: 98% of mtgox last This is actually quite a good offer because it's quite hard to find trusted members that won't chargeback |
