I was wondering if there is an app available that lets me know when a block is found by my mining pool? So for example, when a block is found by my pool I would get sent an alarm letting me know.
TIA

Is there a way to create a perfect hedge in sports betting?
With all the prop bets, multiple, alternate and money line bets on sporting events. Would it be possible to create a perfect hedge? whereas you would create a situation through the use of the different types of bets that can be placed and make it so regardless of the outcome you could make a profit?
Re: Time to face the truth and cash out while it's still worth something
Bitcoin is a little toy that's been played out
Unless you've been here since the single digits, I don't think you have the authority to make such claims.
as someone who has been here since sub single digits, it is possible to get stuck in one's own little echo chamber.
but when i step back and look at the progress since i first learned about Bitcoin, the only change i see is massive progress. it's come further, faster than i ever expected. and it's still only 2014, with my outer bound time limit being 2020.
1. protocol still intact w/o a major hack or bust
2. mining security still growing exponentially-makes me calm and happy.
3. significant merchant adoption beyond expectations with Dell, DISH, Overstock, Expedia being great examples. and there are more coming. and they WILL begin offering discounts to lure buyers.
4. record # wallets-blockchain.info >2M
5. numerous positive news articles all over the world of adoption successes. this protects against a major adversary like the US gubmint.
6. derivatives exchanges beginning to be established to provide greater liquidity and depth (gotta be careful about this to prevent naked shorting, but still overall a positive).
7. ASIC mining companies pushing the limits of 20nm and lower tech. soon Intel and AMD will follow.
8. improvements in wallet security. i don't understand how ppl keep getting hacked. i've never lost a coin.
9. certain gubmints lightening up and looking more positively on Bitcoin unlike the NY clowns. places like Switzerland, UK, Singapore, etc. The discord will guarantee that Bitcoin flourishes somewhere.
10. gold and silver faltering-a move of just 5% out of that market into Bitcoin will jack the price.
11. stock mkt potentially topping-i think problems in the real economy will help Bitcoin with flows seeking safety.
12. bond mkts at all time highs-if we get a rise in interest rates, same thing. 5% of flows from there into Bitcoin will jack the price.
13. forex mkts-largest mkt of all with only one direction for the future values of all fiat-->DOWN. 5% flow from that mkt will jack the price.
14. real estate starting to suffer again-avg Joe looking for yield no where to be found except maybe Bitcoin. it is The People's Money after all.
15. halving of the block reward 2 yrs out. we'll probably get a huge rally as that draws near. now's the time to buy when others are selling. they'll be back for sure.
good post +1
Hey guys, so I have a slightly more reasonable prediction than the "prepare for march 16th dip" post made a little while back.
As some of you may have seen in a post I made several days ago, I have been working on software that uses neural networks to predict bitcoin prices. The predictions can be seen at http://www.btcpredictions.com/
The short term neural network has been consistently predicting a dip from around $585 down to about $562 and then back up to around $590 starting around 4am EST, reaching its lowest price around 7am and then returning to $590 around 10am.
Obviously this program's predictions are not always right, and predictions that are further away are more difficult for it to make. However, it seems relatively confident about this dip. I believe the dip will occur, though the magnitude may be a bit off or the dip may be shifted in one direction slightly. So we'll see how well the software performs!

Good luck! I hope it works. I am just a hodler

What in the world made you think of options when all you need to do is just bet straight up. If bitcoin is over $1000 on Dec 31, 2014 he owes you x, if its below you owe him x.
I am not an expert with options but if you really are hell bent on muddying the water, I would suggest reading up on the Black-Scholes models. You can plug in variables(implied volitility, betas etc) into the equations. Good luck.

it happened again?HuhHuhHuhHuhHuh???WTF! couldn't put in my parlay. I bit my tongue yesterday and didnt say anything now I am F*cking pissed! I went to put in a 3 team parlay and for one of the teams it said "it was a popular bet"? and blocked me from putting it in then I got the betting on hold then it came back up and the betting was closed. Yes you have a great site but you need to get your shit together.
We just placed a bet and worked fine.

We'd like to thank everyone once again for their patience through yesterday's outage, and we'd like to give a special thank you to aksplace of http://www.bitcoincasinopro.com/ for helping us more quickly resolve yesterday's issue. It is great to have people within the BTC community helping one another.
Thanks, we work hard not only for players but services alike surely we both also agree each deserves a fair handshake. Transparency is extremely important and will continue to provide that on a regular basis for the benefit of the industry.
Im not going to argue. If it happens again im done.

You have a point I agree. But I think we have a pretty good foundation around $500. Everyone that has or knows would love it for a little pullback but $200-300 would mean failure in my eyes.
Long term though, I would rather buy Bitcoin than stock.
I'm sure BitcoinHawker is not at all involved with this stock
Surely he wouldn't have shares and try to get the price higher.

Dude. This is very big news. This is the first stock in US history to have bitcoin associated directly with it.
Dont buy it then.
Its the fifth most active stock on the nasdaq today 25 million shares traded. So it is a legit company. and people want it. No I didnt forget Overstock.com but any business can say they will accept.
huh, looks like the train is gone on this one. I don't get it was there a plan for this that i missed out or did the announcement just happen insider style ?
You didnt miss out. There are only 1 million shares floating right now. Buy a little.
Wheres the best place to buy shares? Im UK based. 
call a stock broker. they are on the nasdaq.
This one? Negative news about India? http://uk.finance.yahoo.com
no this http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=WPCS
