1.5 BTC? Why that's a pathetic amount of money to bid on a domain! Insultingly low! A man of integrity and with true intentions to build a venture should be willing to bid more than 10, or 20, or more! I would myself, if I so cared. And in truth, when an entrepreneurial opportunity comes up, I frequently salivate at the thought of it, itching to contain myself. There really is nothing more satisfying that hard work to the accomplishment of industry. However, there is only such honor and satisfaction in proper business, and gambling is no proper business, so far as I'm concerned. Best of luck to whomever undertakes this venture with the integrity it deserves, and bully for your effort, but I must draw myself out of it.
Well I would bid more but I can't so I won't. I bid what I can spend. You would too.
Most of the programmers I know, myself included, get paid good money. What are you going to give them? Random IC parts you've desoldered from old junk you find lying around? 0.01BTC per hour? Pepsi Points? Subway cards? Are they going to do this out of the goodness of their heart? Why, what exactly are you bringing to the table here? The domain name, some free web space, and a long history of delusions? You're a liability more than anything else.
Well seeing how the programers I know for SL I made friends with from one group or another, the goal is still the same. The programmers I know for SL would help me in the drop of a hat because A:I know each of them more then 5 years and B:I'm a friend and friends don't charge each other to do stuff.
You "don't have much more" than about $7.50 to spend on a domain. You can't even eat the cost of the bitcard domain name. I'm sure your casino will be fantastically successful. I look forward to the first customer winning a 'huge' 2 BTC and you threatening them with a restraining order because you can't pay them until you speak to your wife and she loans you some cash generated from a few SL cyber/phonesex jobs.
Actually If I really wanted to I could just let the bitcard domain slip into oblivion and say the hell with it. It's bought and paid for in full. So I want to sell it, it's my right. I paid $12 for it as it's a godaddy domain. Big whoop. I look at this way. Either op sells it to me or I go and register a domain and do it myself. Either way a online casino will be built.
If I've learned anything from these forums, it's that the first thing I need to do is proclaim myself CEO of my company. I'll worry about setting it up and all the other little details later - I'm an ideas guy.
As am I... just my ideas keep failing, but I keep trying.
