evoorhees: and in fact, it is impossible to stop US players from using it (since SD cannot prevent a payment to a bitcoin address)... so it'd be an interesting case
smickles: heh, win >1kbtc, get a free pair of loaded SD branded dice
mircea_popescu: Final SD Profit: 43115.08527065
PsychoticBoy: I have flashed the sd card and now all is fine, was probably the 512mb issue
PsychoticBoy: I am now writing the new debian for raspberry to the sd card delivered by RS, EskimoBob
PsychoticBoy: a samsung 8GB sd hc class 6 cost 16eur
PsychoticBoy: does the size of the sd card matter? I have a 4GB from RS and I can buy a 16GB sd hc class 10 for 12eur
PsychoticBoy: I have a fast one from RS, a sd hc
PsychoticBoy: tomorrow Ill buy a new sd card and flash it with the downloaded raspberry software
PsychoticBoy: thats the case but it should not be, the sd card is from RS and pre-programmed, sucky company
PsychoticBoy: hould see bootcode.bin, fixup.dat and start.elf amongst others. See also, Known SD Cards. It is also possible that the image you are writing to the card is corrupt, as downloads do occasionally end up corrupted or truncated. You can check with the checksum utility if your download is correct.
PsychoticBoy: The Raspberry Pi cannot find a valid image on the SD card. Check card is inserted correctly. Check that you have correctly written a Raspberry Pi image to the card. Did you have admin rights when you used the SD-card writer software? Without it the software might go through the motions without actually doing anything! To check if the writing process did actually happen Insert the SD card into a Windows machine and you s
PsychoticBoy: but i ordered a pre-programmed sd card with it, so it should work properly
PsychoticBoy: on? It will not start up, I have a pre-programmed sd card, all is right from RS
Namjies: It's not, so no scam there. SD was paying about 1% per month.
Namjies: EskimoBob, there is nothing wrong in all of this... SatoshiDice was already an established business. It went public with 100 million shares owned by Evoorhees since he owns his business. Buying shares of S.DICE means you buy an interest in SD off of him.
Anduck: well uhmm whats happening to SD?
Namjies: or 10% of SD's income.
mircea_popescu: forum muppets just like you were all about duplicating sd back in august i think.

kakobrekla: ok i played some SD in last block
dub: so tis bascially SD with pictures
Namjies: SD = You always lose in the long run
smickles: kakobrekla: you don't think SD is profitable?
kakobrekla: JWU42, how can you run a profit on sd, do explain
JWU42: SD is evil
mircea_popescu: jurov i recall rg saying he's making money on sd back in aug or so
jurov: dunno. my memory tries to convince me there was some sd leak last month
jurov: mircea, i remember rg boasting he is getting some bitcoins off sd that shouldn't be there
OneMiner: Almost -700BTC on 14.7kBTC of wagers. That's pretty bad for SD... wow, that's nearly 5%!
zerokwel: and some blocks do that have sd tx in them
Diablo-D3: same reason SD is fucked up
GamblingMan: C'mon. I really would like to buy the worst asset in your opinion and track the results of it vs. SD
GamblingMan: Buy my SD shares with it!
GamblingMan: Someone buy my last 2,000 SD shares!
GamblingMan: mircea_popescu: You claimed in here that SD was the highest yielding asset on the GLBSE.
GamblingMan: If you want to see for yourself that SD is scamming, go ahead and test.
GamblingMan: copumpkin: Have you ever made 100 best on SD and seen what the actual vs. claimed return is?
jcpham: SD was and always has been boring
mircea_popescu: actually if you think about it, it'sd not such a bad ploy.
BTC-Mining: or 0.5% of the total shares of SD...
rg: this is probably how SD reports 1000 btc income
mircea_popescu: if the 6k a month figure is correct then that's less than sd's last.
jcpham: smickles have you been gaming sd?
kakobrekla: i dont think its sd
sgornick: Oy... 10K BTC profit on SD now. http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=80312.220 It's like you walk around Vegas and realize who really paid for all that.
Luke-Jr: it really is tempting to double-spend SD sometimes
evoorhees: John - thus far, when price rose from the $5's to the $10s and higher, SD volume actually grew nominally in BTC
evoorhees: if SD maintained a leading position in the market, it'd be making FAR higher dollar amounts, but not necessarily higher BTC amounts
evoorhees: I wasn't talking about SD
evoorhees: SD is not making deals with real world companies
evoorhees: SD cannot be defeated, it has achieved self-awareness
Luke-Jr: rg: no, because including SD comes with a huge risk of orphaned blocks, losing both the fees AND the 50 BTC
evoorhees: so far, SD has paid over 550btc in fees
BTCHero: Luke-Jr: won't process SD transactions
rg: isnt SD technically better for miners
evoorhees: SD just makes the devs fix it sooner instead of a year or two later
evoorhees: SD isn't really an issue now, but it exposes how close we are to running into some issuues
evoorhees: but lots of people are upset about the traffic from SD
evoorhees: SD has exposed a weakness of BTC and BTC will get fixed
evoorhees: Well SD is currently over 1/2 of all transactions... just sayin
nefario: SD had decent turnover
nefario: mircea_popescu: the reason SD is being used to "launder" coins is that it was already fairly popular by BTC standards
nefario: SD IPO ETA?
evoorhees: the print ad campaign will be longer term - it'll introduce the normal gambling world to bitcoin. This will have a long-term effect on SD's long term outlook, but I don't think it would cause any sudden surge
gigavps: rg, i took SD for 800 btc in 24 hours
kakobrekla: >Meanwhile, since this post went up five days ago, SatoshiDICE has been making so much money that the IPO price is now only a 9x multiple. SD made over 2000 BTC in net profit today, which is almost a tenth of what I'm asking for in the IPO... earned in one day. Maybe I'm pricing this too low :/ Will post updated stats in the google doc tomorrow.
Diablo-D3: you played SD on the bitvps bitcoind address?
Diablo-D3: btw, yes, SD sends earnings to a random address
rg: so all our SD earnings
exahash: sd?
rg: ok i think ive taken enough out of SD today
mircea_popescu: works. sd made its money back and you have what to buy shares with
