6983  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why is there a penny bot? on: January 19, 2013, 06:30:03 AM
Thanks for the metrics, bitcoinbitcoin113.  That's interesting because whenever I look in realtime, I never see the bot buying, always selling.

I suppose we could also let MtGox know that this bot is undermining the MtGox brand, to the extent that their "last price" quote is widely perceived as untrustworthy.  Perhaps eventually they would amend their TOS so that polluting transactions are forbidden.



now where the hell do you get that notion from?
there'es penny-traffic on an unregulated exchange ZOMG!

give me seventeen good reasons why you consider this "undermining" and why the resulting price is "untrustworthy".

(hint: it's not)

Thanks for the hint.  But it's unnecessary.  I've traded millions on illiquid markets over many years and am perfectly capable of forming my own opinion wrt. the trustworthiness of quotes and the manipulation of price data.

MtGox is not an unregulated exchange.  It is regulated.  By MtGox.  It's a private enterprise which can set whatever rules it wishes for itself.  Including setting a minimum transaction size so as to encourage more price transparency and discourage painting the tape.

If the bot behavior wasn't perceived as outside of normal bounds, there wouldn't be gazillions of posts across many threads asking why the bot is doing what it's doing.

If the last price is always reset to be the bid price, then by definition the last price quote is superfluous and untrustworthy.  Might as well get rid of it altogether.

My opinion is that a 0.01BTC bot does not add any meaningful liquidity, but it does add a meaningful amount of noise, and if I was Mark Karpeles I'd view such a bot not as an asset, but a liability.  Sorry if this opinion offends you.  I don't think that's it's an outrageous or crazy viewpoint

I did not request that the SEC (or Japanese equivalent) regulate MtGox.  I merely stated an opinion, as their customer, that their quote data is an asset which they should value and take care of.  And that if it becomes overly polluted with noise and dust, it will reflect badly on their brand and will give people yet another reason to crave alternative exchanges and alternative quote feeds.

I love exercising my right as a consumer to complain to MtGox about annoying bots (or anything else).  

And you, as a bot owner, have the right to think that bots are wonderful.  But please don't disguise your posts as impartial, or try to silence valid opposing voices with non-sequiturs like demanding 17 justifications for a viewpoint, or that people go to the expense of writing their own bots to battle the original bot.

Are you serious?

If their transactions are DDoSing Mt Gox servers, if they're bypassing paying fees, then ban them.

But just trading a penny isn't something that should be banned. It is a *slight* liability, but the negative PR from mt gox banning a trade bot is going to be orders of magnitudes higher.

On the 7th and on the 21th Smiley

This is because the bond was started on the 7th.

Just a few days till the first dividend payout! We purchased quite a few S.DICE shares when it was cheap on BitFunder, which means that NAV of the bond is more than 0.1 even after the 0.9% bitfunder fee Smiley

If no, I think It's important add it... But it's not. Could you implement it?

Agreed and yes.

Is there any way to deactivate this "feature"? I find it very annoying.

You can now adjust this in account settings:



What would people think to a remember password checkbox on the login page? The password could be stored in localStorage encrypted with a random string embedded in page itself.

How about a remember password checkbox for the session? Session, as in if you don't access it for 4 hours it is automatically logged out.

OP's business strategy:

Send coins to satoshidice lessthan 32000
//smart strategy: invest in BTCINVEST and get returns on your coins

IF WIN
  IF RAND(0,1) == 0
    GOTO 1
  ELSE
    GOTO 2

IF LOSE GOTO 2

1: Pay the coins back, enjoy 60 free bitcoins, immediately ask for 3,000 bitcoin loan saying "got ball? 3,000 btc now"

2: Disappear, while sending about 27 taunting PMs, 34 SMSes, 15 skype messages, 8 skype calls and 2 letters on that the creditor got scammed.

Am I right?  Huh Huh
6993  Economy / Securities / Re: Own a part of a 3d printer! CREATE on [BTC-TC] on: January 17, 2013, 03:00:32 AM
Hey all,

Let's face it: 3d printers are cool. I've wanted to own one for a while but I just don't have the extra money laying around. Surely some others have this same problem, or maybe you just don't want to deal with the technicalities of the machine, and you just want something that you can say you created. Either way, I am offering a solution via the BTC-TC exchange!

10,000 shares of the asset CREATE will be, apologies for my redundancy, created. I will keep a 10% stake in the project (as I have with my mining company Cognitive) and the remaining 9,000 shares will be sold at 0.04BTC each, which will raise roughly 350 coins. With this capital, one MakerBot Replicator™ 2X along with all of the base colors of ABS plastic wire for the printer. Remaining funds will be held for future expenditure, whether it be for repairs, additional wire, etc.

And here's the fun part: At any time, you can trade me 200 shares plus 200 * kg of wire used (I suspect this will be under 0.5kg for an average project) in exchange for a 3d printout of your own, mailed to you. This includes the shipping and other fees only if in the USA.

Additionally, something for the future: I am considering creating a web site for this project, where people could purchase our printing power, and profits would be distributed as dividends. This would be brought up in a motion in the coming weeks.

Why are we choosing this printer? Many people including myself believe it is the best available within our reasonable price range. Here are a few advantages it has: http://www.makerbot.com/faq/
Quote
The MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer is the easiest, fastest, and most affordable tool for making professional quality models.  The MakerBot Replicator 2 sets a new standard in resolution and accuracy (true-to-life models) and build volume (size of model).  Constructed with an industrial strength pressed steel frame, which has advantages for both form and function: the machine looks perfect in an office, lab, workbench, and even the living room and is durable enough to withstand high 3D printing speeds. Top features include:
    • 100-micron layer resolution.
    • Very large build volume: 410 in3 (11.2 L x 6.0 W x 6.1 H in) / 6691.0 cm3 (28.4 x 15.5 x 15.2 cm).
    • No-curl, no-shrink MakerBot PLA Filament, a sturdy, renewable bioplastic.
    • Professionally engineered and expertly built for speed.
    • Pop-out build platform for convenient print retrieval.
    • New MakerBot MakerWare software that speeds the 3D printing process.
    • Brand new look and feel.
    • Responsive, expert customer support.

    As always: comments, questions, and criticism are welcomed.

    Cheers,
    Garrett

    Sounds pretty interesting although this seems more like an interest free loan.. where you then pay if you want to use the 3D printer.

    I'd suggest giving everyone a free printout (only charge for materials + shipping) once a month or so. [/list]

    Feel free to teach me about mercedes, you stupid queer.

    Yeah... I remember when I was 14 and had unsupervised access to the internet...  Roll Eyes

    ...

    Anyways... I wasn't going to respond to this thread again and provide any food for a troll, but I wouldn't want a casual reader to be turned off to a used (or new) Mercedes because of a clueless (and car-less) troll or get ripped off on a junk car. I'm something of a German car aficianado / enthusiast, and you really cannot go wrong with one: Mercedes, BMW, even a Volkswagen.

    Our neighborhood troll perpetuates a common myth (oft repeated by low-class white trash) that Mercedes and/or German luxury cars have "electrical problems". This is complete BS. I've never seen a Mercedes with these purported "electrical problems" -- the other day I saw a 1982 E and everything still worked fine after all those years! And I've had the pleasure of quite a few Mercedes: SLK-280, SLK-55, C-63 AMG, S-600, C-230, E-63 AMG and various others. Never seen a single electrical problem in any of them. I drove my SLK-280 for nearly 5 years and never had ANY problems.

    Our troll just scanned eBay motors (one of the cheapest places) to look for the cheapest C-Klasse he could find (didn't even find the correct year model of my car lol). I don't recommend going to eBay motors to buy... due to the fees, sellers usually only go there out of desperation to get rid of a car that has something wrong with it. And they will often neglect to disclose that the car is a buy-back or has a branded/salvage title. The seller of that C-Klasse is probably hiding this or doesn't know any better. If you want a used 2007 C you're looking closer to $20k for one under 40k miles, in prime condition. And yeah, they're worth it and you can find better deals if you shop around!

    Before you go out and buy a brand-new Honda you might want to look at a used Benz (or any other German car). It'll last you longer, and they're fun. You can even get one that's broken down for close to $10k and take it to the dealership -- they'll fix 'er up for $3k-$5k, and it'll be like a brand new car when they're done. And you can flip em to make bank... I mean, Bitcoin! :-)

    Get a fucking life. No one said Mercedes has electrical problems, dumb fuck. They simply said USED mercedes, bmw, etc are expensive to fix when things go wrong. It's actually English cars that had that reputation. Man, you're a dumb fuck.
    Cool, it is time for you to lock this thread and disappear with your username.

    I am receiving a 6 Bitcoin loan from TradeFortress.

    Quote
    How is interest charged?
    Interest is charged 7 days after the loan is issued, on your outstanding balance.
    If you have a silver account, the rate is charged when the loan is issued too.

    If you pay back all the coins before 7 days, you'll pay no interest assuming you have a gold or platinum account.

    The more coins you pay, the less interest you'll have to pay.

    Min repayment & late fees?
    You must pay the minimum repayment each week (defined as periods of 7 days after the loan is issued).
    You get a 24 hour grace period after it is due, where no late fees will apply.
    If you still don't pay at least the min repayment, you pay 0.1 BTC + 5% of your outstanding balance as late fees for that week.

    If you ever are late three times, and we haven't worked something out before, time to post your info on Scammer Accusations.

    I'm interested
    Cool! Send me a PM with how much coins you want, why you want it, and your current debt if any. I'll contact you with my email address so you can send verification info.

    Could you make it more like a credit card and do on-demand loans?

    I would likely want to sometimes take out small loans (<5) while I wait for transfers to complete?

    Also, can you do an OTC 100+ for another point?  

    What do you mean by on demand loans? Like, an API for requesting them?

    I'll consider adding OTC 100+ as a point but for small amounts if you have that much OTC then let me know your nick Smiley
    Heh, I will if I need any bitcoins.  

    Also, is it 100+ ratings or 100+ total points?  I have 98 actual ratings but 150 points (you should add 150+ too!).

    EDIT:
    And yeah, I meant an API for small amounts.
    Ehh, not worth it for this volume at the moment. 100+ points.
