Shares / Wanted - testers for the competition
« on: April 15, 2013, 08:55:23 pm »
I think it's about ready to go, but I know better than releasing untested code onto the masses  ;D

So I'm looking for volunteers to give it a quick run through. 

No need to worry about making wise choices now as I'll be cleaning the database before the real go-live date, so you can be as brave as you like. Even as far as buying some Telkom!

If you're keen to help reply here and I'll add you to the private challenge section.

Cheers

That's pretty close, but I take it it won't be up all the time.

The PSG link was great, just a pity they don't publish the calendar somewhere on it's own...

I'd like to incorporate it into the competition I'm working on, but I'm struggling to find the details.Anyone know of a good site I can scrape from?

Edit: ...but I do feel for all the investors out there.

That's me  :-\

I'm adding a rather large chunk to my portfolio around June. That's when I could use the dip!

I see you're quite the unix guru :)

How slow is slow for you? No delay here for me either. The only change I've made in the last 24 hours was the google search bar I added, doubt that would affect things.

I do see some packet loss on mtr, but I'm getting pretty much 100% of my pings back. Here's my traceroute to compare:

Shares / Re: Listed Property
« on: April 12, 2013, 09:34:52 am »
I've recently left physical property to move into equity. I have considered having a portion in listed property due to the good dividends, but the fact that the dividends are classed as interest has kept me until now, but I'm beginning to reconsider.

It reminds me of futuristic sci-fi movies where you need ‘credits’ for services or products, swiping a device or implant. Who knows, maybe paying by Smartphone with virtual money is our future but yes, it will be ridiculed at first.

I spend a good chunk of my time in central and eastern africa. Mobile money is far far bigger than credit cards already. In my view virtual money is definitely the way we're heading. Paypal is the halfway point, but something like a bitcoin is quite likely where we'll end up. I doubt it will be the bitcoin itself. Even though it's an increadibly beautiful algorithm, the fact that it's not based on anything of real value will be it's demise. My prediction is that governments will start "printing" their own virtual currencies in the medium term future.

So in one day it went from $260 to $105 and the fall only stopped after the bitcoin exchange decided to close to let heads cool...

I've set up a custom google search on the top of this page. It'll search not only this site, but also all the old threads on ShareChat.

Hope it helps.

Sincere thx for all your trouble Patrick!

If it wasn't for you we would still sit with that shit forum. Just wish they could fix the damn search function.

By some miracle they've added TapaTalk support and that's the only reason I'm reading the posts again.

Their forum software still suck though and their Web hosts suck balls too.

Anyway, cheers for now.
The threat of losing business is often the only thing to get companies moving. If only it worked with MTN!

To help you guys out with the search, I've added a new google search bar to the top of my forum. That will search my forum AND the old sharechat forum. That way at least you'll be able to find old posts. Give it a try and let me know if it helps.

I see someone used a few million dollars worth to buy a pizza!

Quote
Some call it the most famous pizza purchase in history: In May 2010, a programmer called Laszlo asked an online forum if anyone would buy him a couple of pies in exchange for 10 000 Bitcoins, an experimental online currency launched in 2009.

"No weird fish topping or anything like that," he wrote.

With each Bitcoin fetching less than a cent at the time, the order was worth about $41. Today, it would be valued at about $1.4m.

I like the idea aspire, but it'll be far harder to implement. It is something I'd like to do though. Maybe I'll do the simple one quickly, and then focus on the more advanced style competition

As to how I would see that working moneypenny, is possibly to have a leaderboard with the ranking according to annualised return.

Keep the ideas coming guys. I've already started development. At the moment I can read in a list of shares automatically. Still some way to go  ;D
