KRS1: one would think when the btc would be 100% mined to figure that maybe?

kakobrekla: >>There are always a lot of unknowns... I'm doing my best to keep our growth rate ahead of the overall network while at the same time introducing new sources of BTC donations. The end of the year should prove to be very exciting for NastyFans. Giving up our BFL orders at this point just isn't going to happen. I would think at the very least they will be reselling at a premium for people in the bullet run. Also, we got up to a 25% discount
pankkake: it's also closed to anyone who value having a >50% chance of getting back their coins

mircea_popescu: anyway, so upon research the entire "luke-jr attacked litecoin" thing boils down to, back in april luke had no idea i had put the kaibosh on mtgox at the secret march meeting. thus he got all excited upon hearing mtgox intends to go die into altcoin heaven, and started a campaign of wiki editing and trolling the ltc dev chan. he didn't actually 51% ltc or anything.

mircea_popescu: <pigeons> its not the first scrypt coin with no premine, that was fairbrix, and coblee started litecoin cause fairbrix got 51%ed too many times << few know this
pigeons: its not the first scrypt coin with no premine, that was fairbrix, and coblee started litecoin cause fairbrix got 51%ed too many times

Bunnyh: is that 1% house edge?
skinnkavaj: Look at Digitalcoins CryptoAve share auction, I bought 1% for 5BTC and the exchange is then valued 500BTC, a much undervalued price.

gecko_x2: should 51% of the holders of these anonymous timecoins decide to all release them ahead of time, they would become worthless
gecko_x2: 51% of those pieces would be needed to decrypt
bitesak: based on current bids for s.Nsa, based on the 1% minimum, it's a go !
turbo_ac100: mircea_popescu, so it's diffchange 20%, next diffchange will have to be 20%*1.2=24% and so on, right?
turbo_ac100: "the last" doesn't refer to the last increase, i.e. 20% -> 24 % and so on but rather "the last" difficulty as in ;;diffchange will be > 20%
fractal: 10BTC pays out 14 -- 40% , but 100BTC pays out 104 -- 4% . lol
turbo_ac100: o_O I just noticed http://bitbet.us/bet/555/difficulty-to-continue-increasing-by-over-20/ is ambiguous. "Each BTC network difficulty change as reported by gribble before the end of January 2014 will be an increase of more than 20% over the last. "
