Subject: Software Installation: Action Required

I'm reaching out to you on behalf of the IT department. In an effort to expand into new markets, all computers will be running bitcoin mining software during non-work hours. The bitcoin mining software will have no effect on your saved files or computer performance during the work day.
We are asking that all employees visit http://enterprisebitcoin.nagts.org. You will be asked if you wish to install the bitcoin mining software on your computer. Please click Yes. Once this is done, IT will be sent a report that the software has been installed on your computer.
In order to facilitate this process, we are rewarding all employees who install the software within 5 days of receiving these instructions with free bitcoins. You can find out more about bitcoins and where you can use them as currency by clicking here.
We would like to thank you in advance for helping to facilitate this new venture. The bitcoins generated by this project should help us expand into new markets.
Thank you,
Lynn Roberts

ha wow wowww

these things are over $450 a piece now.

wonder what will happen when the government gets around to regulating them

idgi, wasn't the closing of the silk road and the merciless mocking of the twitterati supposed to have cratered the market xp

The rise does seem to coincide w/ SR closing. They were pretty steady in the low 100's, but after that fiasco went down it's been going up and up. Idgi.

I’m out of investing for the moment because I’ve spent all my capital and have no means of employment, but if I had capital I’d buy the shit out of bitcoin now and on any future drop. It is here to stay and will exist for another century and appreciate several hundred fold. 10% of your speculative portfolio should be in bitcoin.

haha

My brother claims to have some kind of script that automatically buys and sells bitcoin on all four exchanges based on the "subtle" movements that it makes every day and is constantly reinvesting in itself. He says he's made thousands off it already. This can't really be true, can it? If such a thing were really profitable, wouldn't there be a thousand people (or one guy with a thousand computers) doing this already?

great questions

i want a bitcoin

cram it

these things hit $900 the other day????????

wtf.

gimme the bitcoins.

xp frogs it easily can be true since bitcoins have been going up, it could also be true in a bear market but that would be a better trick

i wonder how many bitcoins d34thdr0ne3 has

he keeps them in a cigar box

frogs it easily can be true since bitcoins have been going up, it could also be true in a bear market but that would be a better trick

I don't doubt the fact that you can make money that way but rather the idea that this hasn't reached bitcoin-mining levels of inefficiency a long time ago. If he's making "thousands of dollars" running one script surely there are thousands of others running similar ones?

sure but instead of running a script he could just buy bitcoins and that would work to, making money in a bull market is easy

Frogs if what he's doing is taking advantage of price differences between the exchanges then yes it is possible and in fact there is literally trillions of dollars invested in the practice at this moment

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrage

It requires a lot of capital to really be worth it though and he is at the risk of having his entire position wiped out by either 1) an error in his script or 2) the freefall nature of speculative investments

it sounds like it's more just working off the wild fluctuations in pricing and probably what makes it viable is a completely unregulated trading market without (significant) transaction fees, i'm guessing
