[raskul]

On January 1, 2015.  

Which will have the most value?

In a vacuum i definitely would be picking bitcoin here, good news train is never ending for months these days.

u wot m8?
that sentence reads like one of those keyword tags at the end of a spam email

president nigerian multimillion hungover viagra jostling with transportation systems on rails in a years time offered by lots of money.

my coding skills aren't that good. An API would be very helpfull.
Never did page scraping for data

If I (or anybody else) can't figure this out, we'll just use the "voluntary check" system and hope people don't cheat. it's just a fun game with nothing to win or lose after all  
Keeping the scorebord at the first post in't a very large task

If we can get a few trusted members to volunteer to validate trades, I think that would work.
I'm not around enough to field them by myself.
Everyone tracks their own trades and values.

We can probably use an exchange for actual trade references
posts to the forum would be ok - as long as post edits were disqualified.

Ideas? ..

So how will we do it?
Do we create a moderated thread with a new account (password sharing possible) or with a personal account? Will you create the tread yourself or should I do it?

Proposed rules:

Code:

§1 Everybody can join. Obvious troll posts will be deleted.
§2 You are not required to carry out the actual trades.
§3 Please post something in this topic if you want to join the game. Registrations are closed on december 31 23:59:59 UTC
§4 Everybody gets 100 'virtual' USD at 01 january 2015 00:00:00 UTC.
§5 You can post a trade by simply posting "BUY" or "SELL". "BUY" means to buy BTC with your full USD balance. "SELL" means to sell your full BTC balance for USD.
§6 Two trades need to be at least 24h apart.
§7 We use exchange rate data from bitcoinaverage.com
§8 We kindly ask you to help us with the scoreboard by quoting your own trades and calculating your new balance
§9 The volunteers will regularly update the scoreboard in the first post of this topic.
§10 FAIRPLAY: There are no prizes, this game is just for fun. Don't edit or delete messages, don't alter the actual exchange rates or "make a mistake" when calculating your current balance. When others notice intentional miscalculations, you will be deleted from the scoreboard and excluded from the game.

edit: Why I'm against joining after 1st of januari? because people who join later have an advantage when BTCUSD is going down and vice versa.
It would be better to allow joining the game again every first day of the month based on the median of the people who currently are playing.

edit2: just for fun, we could add some "bots" playing the game, for example a bot that alternates between buying and selling each day at midnight

If we can pass $380 level, certainly BTC0.275 will be the most precious one!
