I doubt it would be possible. Using a hash function, you could keep track of whether someone has the cards they claimed to have before revealing them (similar in design to provably fair Bitcoin gambling sites), but I doubt there's a fair, trustless way to deal a deck of cards electronically.
Sheldon Adelson would agree with you - he's trying to get everyone to forget online gaming for the real thing. I'd imagine it's technically possible, given the amount of money/brans in the online gaming space now. Legally, that's another issue...
Fair online gambling is absolutely possible, I'm just not sure about poker between multiple people.

Screw that, let's all store our coins in one address with one private key and only spend the coins that rightfully belong to us!

But in the mean time, here's all my cold storage wallets:

I've been seeing "my $.02" a lot lately. Is it just you, or lots of people on here?



Two birds are standing on a perch. One sharply inhales and asks the other, "what smells fishy?"

That one cracked me up!

As far as the "My $.02" thing goes, 'far as I know it's just me but there may be imitators or those who choose to follow a true sage.

My $.02.

Have you considered changing to "My mBTC2"?

My mBTC2.

You people need to learn to reverse image search. This is Helmut Hodl.
Oh ok Smiley Thanks for a lesson Smiley

Cheers! Smiley and why is he our King?

I guess we need to keep our offline computers enclosed within a copper wire mesh.

Make sure the whole room is a Faraday cage.

I think sound proofing and no windows(physical ones that is) is also in order...
If you're too paranoid to have a window in the room you use your computer in, you're way too paranoid to have MS Windows on your computer. Hell, you're probably too paranoid for Linux. OpenBSD with disk, swap, and RAM encryption, all networking disabled at compile time, no sudo, root password set to randomness.

"Media monitoring program"? Wouldn't want the press to use their freedom wrong, now, would we?

The only similarity between Bitcoin and a ponzi scheme is that in a ponzi scheme, the earlier you get in on it, the more money you leave with.

That is also true of every successful legitimate investment, so it is not a meaningful comparison.
My point exactly. People hear about people who got in on Bitcoin early and assume they are "leaders" or something. They think that is someone gets rich, it's a get rich quick scheme.
172  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin ponzi accusations on: March 13, 2014, 08:37:29 PM
If bitcoin was a ponzi scheme, the SEC would have closed it a long time ago.
How would they go about doing that, exactly?

I don't suppose anyone knows where an image of this can be found?
I'm interested to see what would have been on it.

It's pretty funny how, on a disc that can only store about 2 million bytes, they claim to have "millions and millions of sites".

6 - when an exchange looks amateurish and starts having withdraw and hacking issues, leave it asap, even if with some loss, or get goxed
I can see "goxed" becoming a mainstream phrase that nobody in the distant future knows the meaning of.

I should probably point out that, while you can copy the .bitcoin directory to the new computer, you should delete the wallet.dat on the new computer (after you're sure you have a backup) and make a new one. You should never run the same wallet.dat on two computers.

Looking for a loan of 1BTC and and will repay when i get it and i will send .5 added onto it

Very generous of you!

I can provide this loan right now for 60 LTC collateral.
Heh
A scam in the lending section wouldn't be complete without some sarcasm from Vod  Wink
177  Other / Meta / Re: Disallow newbies from posting new threads in the Lending forum on: March 13, 2014, 02:27:09 PM
I think personal responsibility kicks in here. If someone with 4 posts requests a 5BTC loan with no collateral or proof of identity, and you decide to fulfill it, that's your loss.

We're going to need some kind of evidence that the money is actually going there. This isn't to say you're scamming us, but if someone were scamming us, this is exactly what it would look like.

EDIT: Yeah, on second though this is looking like an absolutely undeniable scam.
