Hi, I've been playing around with Gnuplot during the last couple of days.
Any idea of what I could add or improve ?
Cheers !

Hi, I am showing the bid ask sum for BTC-e on http://www.coinorama.net.
It's the second chart on the left (well actually, I divide the bid ask sum by the current rate so that if the ratio is > 1, it means that the bids sum is higher than asks sum).

IMHO, it may stay the same until Mt Gox makes a statement about the US $ withdrawal situation (hopefully, next week).

(Noob) Itīs a long time I see this chart and I still don t understand it... Can someone explain me what are the 4 lines ? (Sorry) Or giving a link if there is an explanation somehere else

I love using moving averages, but I don't depend on them. They are more complimentary than they are primary. The 20 day EMA just went below the 100 day EMA for the first time in many many many months. That is pretty bearish (but it doesn't mean we don't break through it anyway!). What was once support is now resistance.

If you are using a moving average as your main indicator, you are missing like 90% of the picture. For example, I called the last 3 moves down and I clearly listed why (and we were hugging the moving averages). Not saying I know what I am talking about, but when you have an upward move in price and a downward move in volume - it is a really really really accurate way (divergence) to predict a down move. Each time the price moved down (and violently.) I wasn't using a scare tactic - I was clearly listing why, sort of in an educational way. I mentioned many many times that the sell sizes are quite large relative to the buy sizes. That means (I think) guys like me and you without a lot of $$$ are doing the buying and guys (like early adopters or rich folk) are doing the selling. They are not attempting to hide their block sizes either (which is easy to see anyway because of the time of the sales being at the same second). When I posted above (and weeks ago) the coinorama chart - it is a nice simple indicator - more sells than buys. A bit complimentary. The bid/ask ratio chart below that is also a good indicator (complimentary) - when it goes below one it is bearish.

So, collecting all of these complimentary and primary indicators are tell me the same thing. It isn't hard to see. The hard part is loving what BTC is but knowing it's not the right time to be holding it.

IF you want to lower your risk, just don't cash out completely. Keep 30%, or 50% or whatever you feel comfortable with and then use the fiat to buy more if it goes lower. You cut your losses and increase your upside. You can limit your upside too, but when all the indicators are saying down, you have something substantial (and not just emotional) on your side.

You may really come out on top by just holding. Actually, you probably will but the ride to point B, will be a bit rougher. (Not that this ride is smooth for me.)

Good luck,
IAS

I did some digging and the video can be found on eBays own servers as well. I'm not sure who is allowed to post in this blog though (are all the posts from eBay employees?).

I think it's fake, unfortunately.

Gox is down

502 Bad Gateway

By the way, Mr. Loaded just moved his stash. Wonder what he is up to... Time to panic?

I'm bored, c'mon GOX

You can imagine. A lot of USD trapped on Gox, and an increasing scarcity of coins, which usually preceeds bubbles... See graph below.

After $266 -> to the moon.

bitcoin.de has breached "typical price" all-time-high

what's "typical price"? I don't know.

Yes.

They really try to understand all the aspects of bitcoin (and other cryptos).
Like the U.S Americans they like to embrace this new opportunity (to attract businesses etc).
Very positive and interesting. I hope i can get a transcript of this hearing (anyone got links?)

+1
I am considering removing Gox from Coinorama...

Perhaps one needs some indicator of order depth that is less sensitive to truncation? E.g., weighted total sum of order size (BTC), where the weight decays exponentially with the difference between order price and current price?

With such a formula, one could compute relatively tight upper and lower bounds for the indicator, even from a truncated order book.

Has Bitfinex stopped updating the orderbook, or just for me? bitcoinity and bitcoinwisdom show no trades for about an hour.

There are only $5.72M sitting on Bitstamp's order book - anyone remembers if this is the lowest amount we had on Bitstamp's bid side in 2014? I'm curious... And I kinda miss blockchained.com historical market depth charts, anybody knows where to find historical charts for major exchanges bid/ask figures?

I am not a miner myself, just amazed by the fact that XMR have really brilliant crypto graphers such as Wladimir van der Laan (lead developer of Bitcoin, took over after Gavin), Gregory Maxwell, nanotube, phantomcircuit and others involved. Although I am not a developer myself, but seeing the core developers of Bitcoin uniting behind XMR is unique to me and speaks a lot of about the anonymous tech.

it seems the last block was found 2 hours and 15 mins ago

Seems to be working.    As planned

I already posted this, but there seem to be many new users who may need the information:

The English suffix "-ant" can be attached to some verb roots to yield an adjective or noun that means someone or something who is doing (or just did, or customarily does) the action signified by the verb.  The root verbs that take this suffix seem to be mostly of Latin origin, that had infinitive ending in "-are"; those with "-ere" Latin infinitives take the "-ent" suffix instead.  Thus for example, while "to solve" gives "solvent", and "to precede" gives "predecent", we have "protestant" from "to protest", "claimant" from "to claim", "entrant" from "to enter" (Latin "entrare"), etc.

Remeber this whenever you feel the urge to click "ignore".

Did they split them first to another address last time or can we assume a single winning bidder?

EDIT: thinking about it, would be surprised if the winning bidder wasn't using a multisig address

LOL
I just stumbled on this post now.
Yes of course I know about time zones, an invention of Sanford Fleming, I believe. You seem to be missing the point of my repetition.
It's always morning, afternoon, evening or night somewhere in the world, but it's always morning in Bitcoinland.
It's like my formerly frequent references to coffee. When I realized some people totally missed the metaphor and thought I was talking about the beverage, I toned it down a notch.
I can't believe that some people reacted so negatively to what was intended to be a pleasant daily hello and recap of the day's status.
At least your comment was civilized. Some people actually seemed perturbed and made a more hostile response. To these people I'll just say, "Get a life".
Cheers.
