It seems to me that the description of this bet changed after I placed my bet: http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=1210
It now says:
"* http://www.Bitcoinx.org is working on a decentralized exchange for "colored coins", but there is doubt as to whether such coins will maintain their nominal face values when pegged to commodities and currencies. "
I agree that that usdCoins, goldcoins, oilCoins, etc can be issued and backed by a central issuer. And if they back it I expect their price to be similar to their real/paper courterparties.
What I don't believe is you can do this without trusting an issuer, which is what mastercoin attempts to do and what I bet against.
Did I read that part too fast when I bet or has it really changed after I did it?
If it changed, I want to take back my bet, I've been talking about usdCoins with an issuer inside the chain for years, before the term "colored coins" was even coined.

HashFast will ship their first chip (to spec) to a buying customer on, or before October 31st, 2013.
This will be interesting...
QG
HashFast will ship their first chip (to spec) to a buying customer on, or before October 31st, 2013.
Code:
HashFast Technologies (http://hashfast.com/) is a fabless semiconductor manufacturer specializing in extreme performance hashing ASICs.
Their first chip, the Golden Nonce (GN) microprocessor, is in the final stages of development. The GN will ‘tape-out’ and be sent to manufacturing in August. Fabrication will take a little bit over two months, and the chips will ship to customers in October.
The GN chip will perform more than 400 Ghash per second, and uses as little as 10% of the power per Ghash as the current-generation ASICs.
Current-generation ASICs power per Ghash is defined as 1W for 1Ghash.
HashFast's GN Bitcoin mining microprocessor will ship to a buying customer on, or before October 31st, 2013, must hash more than 400 Ghash per second, and only draw a maximum of 40W.
Editor's note: We will judge the statement according to the forum posts. We will call it a draw if we think that there is not enough evidence either way.

QG
Where did this "10% of current-generation" power use claim come from?
I don't recall HashFast ever saying they'd get 400GH with 40 watts.
I just checked, and Hashfast's promised spec is <1 watt per gigahash, not 0.01!
Did the creator of this bet just make up something impossible to ensure Hashfast can't win?!?
Or is it just a typo?
i can not see it in Opera/Firefox.
Site works ok for me in Chromium...
Still it's not normal behavior.

There is no certificate or encryption, there is likely a htaccess rewrite rule to redirect secure requests to the unencrypted site. Maybe there was a cert/secure site before but they let it expire?
Hmm :

The certificate is not known by its supposed issuer. It is not valid. In the worst case it may be used by criminals for fraudulent purposes. The website owner must immediately replace the certificate.
In Firefox :
Code:
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to betsofbitco.in.
The OCSP server has no status for the certificate.
(Error code: sec_error_ocsp_unknown_cert)
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.

Finac,
i am actually working on such a site. I have all the live lines to myself but am looking for the best way to display them.
Nice work!
Don't forget to announce that project in a new thread and warn me when it's ready to rock!
By the way, I just figured it out that betsofbitco.in might work as an P2P sports betting bookmaker with variable odds.
How are they updating everyday's propositions?
Are they rigorous on closing the bets and paying the punters in time?
there are 3 sports betting sites that I like:
nitrogen
btcsportsbet
sportingbit.com
nitrogen
btcsportsbet
sportingbit.com
Thanks for sharing that info.
It would be nice an website with live odds from all of that bookmakers that currently accept Bitcoin as payment.
I guess there are about 7 bookmakers like that nowadays.

Question for Coinjedi: I'm trying to reconcile all my BTC accounts. I'd like a complete record of all the money that went round with my bets on your site. Under the 'Account' Tab there's a button saying 'Your most recent transactions' which is okay but obviously I want ALL of them not just the most recent. How can I get hold of the older ones?
Thx
Thx
The expected (profit) return are not that easy to estimate because of the variables involved.
Isn't there any way to add that estimation of profit at the moment the player is about to bet?
P.s.: I'm just trying to simulate some expected value possibilities...
