I'd like to play this game. Shouldn't we start an 'Market' thread to keep this 'Theory' thread and the 'Blockchain' neat?
Bytemaster: RE: Simulation :
1. "minting" currency is not defined in your game rules.
2. In fact again the actual rules of the BitShare system is not defined. Your "rules" just define how we issue buy sell orders.
3. Choosing Mt. Gox exchange rate is just going to delay and obfuscate the situation. Its theoretically (and practically when you look at crypto currencies) possible for the exchange rate to vary by 90% in weeks. But I don't want to play this game for an entire year just to prove a point. And just to remind you, the point was NOT to make money, but to prove that crypto-USD does not track USD relative to BitShares.
Please respond to my prior posting. You have offered the 10BTC bounty. Now you are changing the rules AGAIN, with this endless game.
Agree with this; the 10BTC bounty should stay here. Its still ultimately up to OP if he isn't convinced.
I am offering the game as a means of proving to everyone definitively whether it works AND to make wining this bounty less 'subjective' and instead based upon a somewhat experimental result. Clearly, you all are having a hard time convincing me and I am having a hard time convincing you... therefore debating is actually not helping either of us reach the desired goal (winning the bounty or winning support for the idea). So in all fairness, I am not changing the rules (the rule is you have to convince me), but instead offering you a fool-proof way of convincing me. Thus entirely in the spirit of this bounty.
