i hate to be a negative influence but what the hell, the internet is a playground

and so is life, just think about how easy it will be to pay everyone back when you hit it big on a dice site, not to mention all the hookers and blow you can handle

gosh, i thought this post would have a dozen pages from notlambchop shitting all over how scammy MPEX's hosted offerings were

you have successfully bored the entire internet

congratulations.

i avoid using my brain when i can

anyone know roughly what the next diff increase % has to be for a sell div?

thanks/sry

roughly speaking, at the difficulty increase (determined by bitcoin protocol, http://bitcoinclock.com when the minute hand reaches 12), if there are more than 200 days worth of mining payouts at 5Gh/s per mine share, then the extra is paid out to sell.  for the current difficulty, it would take a ~11.5% difficulty increase to cause mining payouts to be small enough for the reserve to exceed 200 days.

no mining is actually being done by the fund, and the fund has no effect on the hashrate of the network.

(unless i'm doing it wrong)

maybe the last difficulty jump was the deathblow for a bunch of older farms and they're being shut down

although asic "burn in" is probably more likely, the incentive is there to jack up the difficulty and suck up all the early adopter advantage before shipping

Ubuntu jumped the shark a few years ago, Linux mint would probably serve you far better.

the reinvestment portion could be taken from immature coins so as to not disrupt dividend payout while things get going

USB flash drives that can house the entire blockchain + OS necessary for p2pool are around 50 bucks (for the fancy ones)

even if you don't care about this from a morality standpoint, it would be a nice marketing angle

"merged mined!  0% fees!  cloud mining without the evil!"

edit:  wrong link

not to mention the goodwill of infusing p2pool with so much hashpower, i'm sure a reddit post about moving x petahash to p2pool would get some attention

k, so go ahead.

sweet, so in the meantime let's prove how foolhardy we can really be

bitcoin's failure as a decentralized service will probably make worrying about dividends paid in bitcoin seem a little silly.  if we're all truly blinded by this level of greed, i guess we deserve it.  bring on ghash coin.

so how do you guys feel about contributing to a 51% attack on the bitcoin network for a streamlined interface?

ok, go ahead and vote.  you can even write it out on a peice of paper if you want.

probably because multipools rarely make more than mining litecoin directly anymore

he'd be switching multipools endlessly in order to make more than LTC and i'm sure it wouldn't be worth the time

time for a meta-multipool

i know a sociopath;  i had no idea it was a real thing until i met him.  i don't take anyone's word for it about the character of a person, and very rarely am i disappointed with that policy--but he was one.

never let them get into rapport with you.  stay in pure logic mode, and remember it's always a manipulation.  i fear for my life.

anyway, too bad about this thing.

the IPO happened before the run up to $1000


that means most of the BTC raised were worth several times more than what he asked for

despite that, it still resulted in "liquidity problems" a month in from the storefront opening

he filed the change of director paperwork days before his congressional meeting, promised a financial report (already a quarter late), sent out bizarre (drunken?) tweets, then vanished

he shows up for a minute or two, used his daughter as an excuse, and claims that the reports will account for stuff, and vanishes again


this is a sociopath, clearly a 'person' with no conscience (can you imagine publicly claiming your own child is getting death threats as an excuse? even if she were, people don't do this), and he's following the wrap up text book style--delay until it fizzles out.  i wouldn't be surprised if he collaborated with ukyo for a double whammy-scammy.  ukyo is probably just the more sadistic type, and likes dangling a carrot on a stick.

it's an assumption

unless you're implying that he can, and mr brewster doesn't think it's anything he needs to make a comment on

so, the die-hards don't find it weird that even the "compliance officer" apparently can't get ahold of danny?

cause presumably if he could, we'd have a statement by now

i'm sure this behavior from neo can be recovered from though, the company's foundational premise doesn't revolve around reliability and trust or anything


sorry

Thanks, you helped ease my paranoid imagination.

As long as Karpeles faces the criminal charges he deserves (negligence or otherwise), I'd say bitcoin will be just as strong as ever in short order.

And if he doesn't, that just means bitcoin has "made it."  Watch all the other billion-dollar fraudsters hop on board.
