BitcoinBoardGame.com
BoardGameBitcoin.com

Both for Sale.  Some similarly named twitter/social accounts can be included as well.
Would love to see someone develop a project in this direction. 

Accepting offers here or via PM.
BTC / ETH preferred but anything can be made to work.
I don't think Escrow.com handles crypto anymore (I've been out of the loop for a while) but I'm sure some sort of trusted domain escrow service exists upon which we could both agree.

Happy bidding.

Re: [ANN][BCC] Bitconnect Coin - Decentralized Cryptocurrency

Is proof-of-work mining still occurring with BCC or is minting currently PoS only?
I can't seem to find information on the lifecycle of coinbase design for BCC.  Asking here before I poke around the code to see if it is easily discernible there.

Looks like PoW ends on block 262800 and the BCC blockchain is currently at height 206387.  Unclear when the estimated transition to PoS-only will occur given highly variable block times across last ~50 blocks.

Is anyone aware of an instrument, mechanism, or exchange-trade of any manner that allows for the shorting of BCC?

Re: Name your favorite cryptocurrency

To those who say Bitcoin and Bitcoin only, what would you say to those who notice the dominance share of Bitcoin declining over time relative to the crypto market as a whole?
Is this a temporary trend?  Immaterial?  The numbers seem hard to ignore at present. 

With how quickly the space is moving, it's certainly possible that the eventual winner(s) in the space won't necessarily be those at the top of the list right now.  However, it's hard to imagine BTC / ETH, at the very least, being entirely supplanted.

Re: Wall Observer Thread locked?

The Wall Observer thread is in Speculation, so when you start using it for any off-topic thing that comes to mind, the posts get reported and then deleted. This has happened too much and for too long in the Wall Observer thread.

Maybe it'd be OK from our perspective to move the thread to Off-topic and then let people use it as they wish, but is that what the posters there really want? I just don't get the point of the thread. If you want to talk off-topic, you can create multiple dedicated threads in Off-topic.

Best Speculators Around
by
CoinHeavy
on 29/06/2017, 00:53:27 UTC
Who are the best speculators around?  Are they on this board or elsewhere?

Whose post history tells the greatest tale of accurate prediction and keen insight?  Who was right when everyone else was wrong?

What if the best speculators are just whales of sufficient size to enact their own predictions?

Is the signal to noise ratio worth the time investment involved in parsing through many of the posts here?
If you know what others don't, why share that information ahead of time?  Are the reputational gains sufficiently explanatory?

I'm curious about the value ( both true and perceived ) of this board as a meaningful tool.  Or is it all just a cacophony of guesses, generated and read for entertainment?

Re: Bitcoin trading strategy

Start by trading synthetically ( i.e. on paper with fantasy funds ).  Stay honest; commit for at least a month or a quarter.  See how you do and reevaluate subsequently.
Read books on technical trading; lists of the classics are everywhere.
Identify others who trade and see what they do ( or rather, what they say they will do and how successful or not their decisions are ).  Trust predictions, not retrospectives.
Even still, the markets are small enough and there are enough anonymous whales out there that big moves can happen on the whim of an individual; there's no way around that.

Re: Tipping homeless people with Bitcoin paper wallets
by
CoinHeavy
on 29/06/2017, 00:09:38 UTC
Too much homelessness is driven by addiction and mental illness for paper-wallet handouts to be claimed at any significant rate.
Those most likely to lay claim to the funds therein would be the people who, after a day of panhandling, drive home to the houses that they pretend not to have during the day.
College students would be a better target group.  Given their average debt, they are also almost surely poorer ( if only on paper ).

Re: Can Bitcoin End World Poverty?
by
CoinHeavy
on 29/06/2017, 00:05:28 UTC
Distribution remains an oft-overlooked consideration with Bitcoin.  Large swaths of currency are held in high concentration by few actors.
Absolute poverty may be alleviated by some global cryptocurrency adoption ( direct access to all markets, fewer middlemen, etc. ).  Consider, for example, what MPESA has achieved in Africa.  Relative poverty, however, may even be exacerbated by cryptocurrency.

Re: So Bitcoin is better than Gold?
by
CoinHeavy
on 28/06/2017, 23:59:31 UTC
One consideration that is often overlooked in such comparative discussions is the operational security required when handling crypto.  Physical security is important with gold but if you input the wrong combination on your safe, your gold doesn't have a chance of disappearing. 
Not necessarily an insoluble problem but user experience remains frightening even for many technically-competent users.

Re: How are the banks corrupting Bitcoin?
by
CoinHeavy
on 02/12/2015, 04:09:50 UTC
A curious parallel train of thought that I have heard goes something like this:

As the number of Bitcoin nodes continues to decline and mining centralization continues to be an issue, does Bitcoin's decentralization become a less compelling argument in it's favor when compared with potentially looming blockchain offerings run by existing banking institutions?

Not my own argument but perhaps it is worth considering.

Re: If BTC makes it 10 years I think it would officially have "made it"..
by
CoinHeavy
on 02/12/2015, 03:45:59 UTC
Ok so we have 3 more years to go to each the 10.
Right now the BTC user base is probably 1 to 1,5 million users and the value is ~$360.
How much more users and main stream media attention, growth in value etc. do we need to be fully accepted and being able to say "we've made it"?


I'm curious about your estimate of 1-1.5 million users.  Although knowing for sure is impossible, have you read any recent, compelling research that suggests those figures are accurate?  Adoption is a critical metric to track but other than the figures self-reported by online wallet services with KYC barriers, it seems difficult to even venture a guess at a headcount.

No worries.  I'm glad to get these resources into the hands of the folks now running the project.

Distribution (i.e. concentration of cryptocurrency amongst early adopters) is one of the big economic/psychological issues I see frequently in my conversations with folks who are interested in cryptocurrency but who nonetheless remain on the sidelines.  Auroracoin was the first serious project I noticed that sought to address distribution in a novel and compelling fashion. 

Best of luck to the team as they move forward!
