@suchmoon. Hehehe yes, we might have another Tom Brady storyline for this season.

I was also implying more about the odds reduced near with the favorites. Bet Broncos before Rodgers and then sell the ticket after Rodgers hehe.

Veteran QB with a new team winning SB in their first season? That never happens.

I will join! I also thank Direwolf for his offer in the private message. That was very kind of him. However, I was accepted in Duelbits’ campaign hehe.

Also, you might be right. Should we send the payments soon before bitcoin pumps?


Agreed! Aaron Rodgers. We cannot be certain what he will do or where he will go. The rumor is the Denver Broncos. Broncos futures to win the superbowl is presently 21.00. This might reduce near with the favorites Kansas City Chief if Rodgers joins Denver.

Agreed, if we can schedule for the weekend before the first kick-off, that would be best.


I think we've got folks from all over the world here, actually.  At least one member from Europe, and at least one American ex-pat hiding out in eastern Asia.  Weekends would be best for me, I tend to be early riser, which means I go to bed early too.

I don't mind the small league.  It means I'm guaranteed a spot in the playoffs.  

Just as a part of the discussion; not a recommendation for this league:  Now that the NFL year is 18 weeks, I think 16 teams would be the ideal number.  That way each team plays each other once, and only half the teams make it into the playoffs.

ETA:

I also like the current crew, prefer we keep things small for now.

Just throw down what dates work for you and we'll see if any of those dates need to be nixed by other players.




I have no problem with more or as is, but I do like that the lineup right now is people I trust.


It definitely adds more competitive league with the waiver wire being involved.

ITs funny I spend more time on a free league than I do on a paid one when the waiver is involved!
I'm too competitive.


AND I am putting my disclaimer here.  I will be the worst person in the league when it comes to insults!

DO NOT take it personal as its all in the fun!

If you don't know how it goes then seriously watch "The League" TV show!
Watch it anyway as its hilarious!

I am away most weekends weekday nights are better for me but I can figure something out if it's on a Saturday night.  Also are we all generally in the same timezone.  Do we have any non US folks in the league.  And lastly I can get a coue members here join if we want a 10 person league.  I generally like at least 20 as it makes the waiver wire part of the season.  8 team league is fine it's just every team is stacked.  Up to you all...and lastly I'm down for any price .0015 is fine by me.  Just let me know where and when to send

I would recommend we draft as close to league kickoff as we can as nothing is worse than drafting a guy high up and having something happen to him before the regular season even starts!

Also drafting before pre-season is just taking alot of the fun of scouting new talents away.

While we still have a solid 5-6 weeks before a draft, I'm just wondering what will happen to the price of BTC between now and then. After all, this is Bitcoin...

What if we give you a week to change your mind? FF is fun and encourages you to learn about the players. I learn way more than I ever would if I weren't playing. However, if you'd rather not invest the time or the BTC I understand. It can be as time consuming as you want it to.

Everything looks fine to me, I have been delaying talking about the date the draft is to be scheduled since the first game is not played until September 9th so there was still a lot of time left and we know that many things can happen during that time, however if we are to set a deadline for the buy-in then it is necessary to talk about that date and hour the draft is to be conducted.

Assuming that all of the participants have an easier time to make it to the live draft on weekends then the most likely dates for the draft are:  August 21st, 22nd, 28th and 29th and September 4th and 5th, as they are the closest dates to the beginning of the season and currently all of those dates are still available.

Its great that you are still in, and yes it is an 8 team league, in fact at the beginning I set it up as a 10 team league but I realized that filling that many spots could be difficult and the ESPN website did not allowed me to reduce the number of teams but it did allow me to increase it, so I thought it was better to start with an 8 team league and if there was demand for it we could increase it if necessary.

I understand that the process to select the 7th and 8th draft pick could get longer with bitcoin and a faster confirmation rate could help with this, but what I can say? If the hash lottery is the method selected, and right now it is the one that is ahead, then I would like to use the king .

Sorry, .0015 is a little high for me being someone who does not deeply know the sport. I cannot promise to join the league presently, however, if accepted in Duelbits’ signature campaign, I will join hehe. I had planned to sell some of my SMC tokens earned from a campaign to pay for the fee, but it appears much of the project’s development team dumped and left the project. I had $300 of SMC now reduced to only $40.

 

Everything looks good to me.

Yes, I'm fine with the 15 BTC buy-in.

Yeah, I'm good with 0.0015, but lets make sure suchmoon doesn't try to pull another fast one.

I have no problem with this, happy to help out assuming no one objects.  And, of course I'll do it free of charge.

Regarding escrow, we should decide somewhat soon so the address can be available for a few weeks before the deadline.  That'll allow us to send our stake with cheap fees.  Mempool is clear and fees are low right now, but who knows if it'll stay that way.

Hmm... this is fine with me. We all seem pretty easy going about it, and random is random, so whatever works.

@wheelz1200 I think I said the buy-in 0.001 BTC in the PM but actually meant 0.0015

Next up: does anyone have any objections to @DireWolfM14 as our Official FF Escrow? I have seen him do escrow services free of charge in the past and am assured of his competency, so maybe he would privilege us with this undertaking.

Yep sorry folks lost the trail on this one I'm definitely in.  And I'm down for whatever price we go in at.  Is this only an 8 team league  yum.  Will make rounds 4-10 less stressful. 

I definitely lile the bitcoin hash to determine slots.  Litecoin chain is quicker could even just use that.  Everyone get 2 of the 16 alpha-num and one by one let the chain pick the order.

Wheelz says he's still down.

Don't mean to harsh the vibe but how do we all feel about the buy-in. Do we all agree 0.0015 is a good amount? I propose we:

- nominate a treasurer to hold the funds (I nominate DireWolf... if he doesn't want the job then suchmoon)
- make a deadline to deposit the buy-in
- hold the draft 48 hours after the deadline... that way we can get a new player if we need one before the draft

How does that sound?

 Let's hope BTC does a 5xer during the season, that would make it extra exciting.

I don't mind either option, if you have the time go with blocks hash idea, don't how many leagues have their draft order set through bitcoin blocks, if any. Kinda cool when you think about it!

Here's something you might find helpful, teams' full schedule cheat sheet, i use it primarily for betting, but you can scheme out with it throughout the season and pick good spots for trades etc (click images for high-res):

+1



Interesting I thought the lottery would have more support, so far we are +2+3 for the lottery, +2+3 do not care either way, +1 to use the LM tools, 3 1 undecided.

---

Unfortunately DireWolfM14 we cannot have four or five people using the first overall pick at the same time.

Please do.

I reckon just using a random draft order would be sufficient.


So I guess wheelz changed their mind? I will send them a PM in a day or two and see whats up

It would be a fight to the bottom!
