I did play online quite a bit until I lost a few thousand when the government came in and "helped us all out" by shutting the site down and taking all of my money.

I heard recently that PokerStars had bought Full Tilt and were going to make all the Full Tilt players whole.

Hey does that Micon character play online poker for BTC at any of the online BTC poker sites?

I believe he's in some way invested in Seals With Clubs.  He's a "pro" on Seals, and some claim he's a part owner of the site.  This thread for instance starts by claiming Micon owns part of Seals, and quickly degenerates into a "bitcoin sucks" thread.

BurtW,

You seem to be a bit of a gambler. How about some poker some time, I know a great site.  Wink

I have not tried to play online since that day.  However, I may go and try to play for BTC when I get some so called free time.

That gives me an idea.

Hmm, interesting idea, some variant of this idea might be worth doing.  I will think on this a bit.

why not do this with 50 BTC, and put 50BTC into say PPT (yes just as risky)

Set the roulette going, max time you can hold money is for X days.

Then after Y days, profit from PPT compounded is split among all players, e.g. 7 weeks of PPT of 50BTC would let you give each person who didnt run 0.5BTC.

This was a very interesting thread to watch.  The incentive to take the 100 BTC seems great because you wouldn't even be labeled a scammer for it.  But, you would essentially be writing off any chance of regaining a solid reputation.

Are reputations worth 100 BTC to some people?  Yes.  How many?  Who knows.

^^ cheers... PM'd someone with an invite to this thread Smiley

payb.tc,  Do you have someone in mind or are you going to send them back?

might just have to send them back, sorry to spoil the fun.

for the record, i PM'd Graet, but he must be out weekend partying or something.


okay this is a little embarrassing, but i just realised today that i accidentally got

Graet

mixed up with

CIYAM Pty Ltd

both grey-beard aussies, and apparently both about the same age. i'm fairly sure Graet is a trustworthy guy anyway, but that could have been an expensive mistake.

probably a good thing that i sent the coins back to burt!

The entire trading sub forum makes you nervous?  Or were you trying to give a more specific link?  Or, hmm, I guess I just do not follow the meaning of the link.

Thanks everyone!

Well that was fun and interesting.  Should we do it again?  If so do you have any proposals for rule changes?

It might be an equally fun side game to list who you wouldn’t send it to.

I wouldn’t send it to Matthew N. Wright only because his concept of time is skewed. Oh, you’d get it back but he would read six hours as six months.

I also wouldn’t send it to Vladimir Marchenko because he would invest it in a ASIC farm or a little plastic Bitcoin card and tell you that you will thank him for it later.

I wouldn’t send it to Magical Tux because you would need to provide several proofs of identification mailed to him and then the review process would take several months because he lost your first mailing.
Good one.

btw, if I'd have asked for the few hundred coins that I've had on loan to you since early Feb back before I sent it on would you have returned them?

Would you like to try again and find out? Wink
