He should start donating BTC to charity, it would be great for the image of BTC to have its wealthy founder be an anonymous philanthropist.

What is the largest pot you've seen thus far on Seals?
Also nice activity! 400+ people on right now
These may be the top 3 pots: PLO 856.34 BTC in Sept 2012 PLO 576.30 BTC in Aug 2012 NLHE 566.66 BTC in Jan 2013 Man, I am soooo pissed I didnt find out about Seals last summer. So did Fitzroy retire with his #1 avatar for good to the backseat of his new lambo or is he still playing under another name? In other news, VeganHippie finally runs like god for one whole month and now the whole site hates him. Epic chat trolling. |

We kept the bet small so we dont have to bother with that. All I know for sure is, if I lose he doesnt have to worry about getting paid. And if I win and dont get paid? Well if all my LTC are above $5 and going higher, life will be pretty good anyway  |

Yes I hope I win too If MtGox adds Litecoin as a tradeable currency before August 1st 2013 AND LTC trades at $5 or more before September 1st 2013 Im laying 100 to win 50 LUx1NELJYVNdE6dJPnEKjMEi4G9FL38GnP |

At least one 50 LTC bet is on, I think we are starting a thread in the gambling subforum. Should be fun. GL to all, especially Gox!!! |

ditto on those bet questions.
also, 'the price will be above $5 within 1 month of that happening' - how long does the price have to be above $5? (a day, a week? i.e. not a transient spike)
Yeah, but Im asking to adjust the timeframe to August 1st due to Gox's massive problems of late. And yes, it just has to spike over $5 for a second. I still think its a good bet, but Im not betting hundreds of LTC, maybe a few dozen for fun, because I love gambling and I think Gox stands to make a ton of profit by adding LTC... PM me. |

It is indeed, " redicilous"  |

The only reason BFL arent insolvent is because thousands of people paid in BTC when they were like $10-20 each.
... except for that whole part where they used Bitpay and immediately received fiat for BTC. Im sure they did because they cant pay suppliers or rent or electricity with BTC. They do have a real physical location. They did make a few ASICs. But to think they didnt keep a ton of it in pocket as they watched the value skyrocket from Jan-April is quite foolish. They have made multi-million dollar mistakes which could have easily bankrupted them. They certainly arent spending their $ on quality PR. |

So, whats the total number of devices they have shipped so far? 25? 50? Out of 20,000+?

The reality is, the 5gh miners are supposed to be shipping, but they arent. The prototypes are done. They sent them to shills and journalists.
They might not even have ordered the further wafers they need, let alone be ready to manufacture and ship devices.
I think the odds of them actually shipping anything are dropping by the day. The only reason BFL arent insolvent is because thousands of people paid in BTC when they were like $10-20 each. Otherwise they would have long ago gone out of business and surely pocketed whatever money was left.

" ONLY ignoring luke-jr" Wow, I have even MORE respect for you now...  |

Just buy Bitcoins man, mining is a grinders game for the pros...
|
|
|
|
|
Ill give OpenCoin this. These guys are really, really smart. One of the best hustles Ive ever seen actually...

Bitcoin doesn't solve any real world problems
 |
|

|

Id recommend Bitinstant at this time because its pretty clear that Coinbase is working with the Feds - i.e., all their data is provided to DHS, FBI, CIA, NSA, IRS...
Thats how they secured another round of venture capital - $5M I believe. They bent over for Uncle Sam to keep the doors open.

Ripple is what you'll feel when their servers get pwned.
Exactly. I wouldnt leave a dime on this "network." If this latest incident shows us anything, its the extreme utility of Bitcoin's decentralization. Beyond the fact that OpenCoin is a for profit private company with paid shills on BitcoinTalk, the currency (XRP) being issued and controlled by a few individuals and not mined, and the undeniable fact that interest free debt is worth less in real, quantifiable terms than the amounts it represents. |

No, the solution is Litecoins gentlemen. If you move your BTC into LTC, and then into USD or Euro or back to BTC with a new address, its totally untraceable. Furthermore, you can buy Bitcoins for cash in person, and sell them for cash in person. Good luck tracing that. https://localbitcoins.com/ |

This is an alt-currency sub-forum. Its way overcluttered as is, do we really need this discussion here mods?
|
|

I also assume that Mt Gox will implement Litecoin support before December. Reasonable or no at this point?
Maybe $10B, maybe. I think $3-5B is reasonable. LTC to Gox by end of summer for sure, its going to be insanely profitable for Gox to add it. LTC doesnt dilute BTC, it strengthens it. Other alts are fairly worthless until we get Netcoin... |

I think if anything it will come sooner rather than later, its a huge amount of money for them to leave on the table by delaying it further.
I would take 2-1 on bets that it will come before July 1st, and also that the price will be above $5 within 1 month of that happening.
They probably realized they needed a few hundred thousand more LTC before doing this, but they need to buy slowly, so it takes time.
