Namworld: I don't think BitFunder deletes removed assets, keeps the data.

thestringpuller: are you smarter than a 4th grader?
Namworld: I'm not earning big time because I'm good at trading stocks. Not anywhere near a professional. I do so because the market is retarded.
mircea_popescu: the nasty part is that we have absolutely no reason to bitch. free market ? this is it,.
thestringpuller: "You know, much like the beta male that doesn.t dare propose to the hot chick all through highschool but instead spends his time and lunch money grooming her so she may better serve a better man later on." <- seems like an accurate description

Namworld: pankkake again: Yeah totally follow the investment advice of the guy who does not understand how TAT.VM works. This thread is why my avatar is now a facepalm, so I don't have to post it every time.
Namworld: some bitcointalk.org user: i think Actm was one of the best investments i made after losing nearly 50% of my holdings in Tat.virtualmine.. but right now its looking like a bubble.. prices have increased too high too fast.. i think after this phase of capitulation is over we can expect the prices to remain stable and start increasing once the avalon chips start hashing.. I think its a
mircea_popescu: Namworld that 2nd one is pretty good.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller that guy's a miracle of modern science.
Namworld: Quote from: pankkake on Today at 07:02:25 AM I hope your plan is to do the reverse of what Bitcointalk users will tell you.

mircea_popescu: the true bitcoin magazine
ThickAsThieves: "These forecasts are based off the ability to pay a up to a live 10% annual dividend. This seems to be pretty standard for a fast growing, new issue on btc exchanges from our research. The "blue chip" target, set by assets like Ukyo-Loan, is an 18% annual dividend, and we will re-evaluate our valuation closer to that number over time, as we become more established and growth slows."

gribble: Next difficulty estimate | 35835157.1161 based on data since last change | 39355296.1082 based on data for last three days
FabianB: could be done in steps, but depends on the level of trust needed and if you want a third party
FabianB: well, but still the releasing is a critical point
afrotec: hmm, i hadn't thought of that
FabianB: afrotec: unless both pay via multisig, in the end it could be released (half pay for the product, half refund for the 'escrow')
afrotec: multi-sig, the buyer can receive funds back but the seller has nothing on the line
FabianB: couldn't that be achieved via multi-sig without a third party?
afrotec: otherwise they both loose the funds that were initially risked
afrotec: each person puts up something so that they both have vested interest for a smooth transaction
afrotec: yeah you do. i think both parties have something at risk with nashx
FabianB: but you have to trust the plattform, right? why not use plain escrow?
afrotec: Saw his first post on reddit, they've changed it a good bit since then but l haven't had a chance to utilize it yet
afrotec: Yeah I've been following along too
