Bitstamp told the truth and all my
BTC were there and I withdrew just to see if I could. No problem. Good sign
I had the same experience. No problems with withdrawals, but I picked a quiet time to withdraw at.

Making sense to me, coz these two are competing fiercely. Using bitcoin to do a free marketing is definitely a no-brainer for any one of them.
According to this thread it looks like Tether is going to soon become operational on Bitfinex. Could this be the big news?

they should start using other altcoins
I thought they were using untraceable alts already although I have never had a look at the sites they use.

you mean darkcoin?
He said: untraceable. Thus Monero.
It's debatable what's untraceable but I thought you could use a range of untraceable coins like dark or monero on those sites. There have been huge debates here about what's really untraceable and I'm not technically skilled enough to comment on it. Obviously you can use bitcoin too if businessinsider is commenting on it.

Who would have thought that the drug dealer subculture would be the best place to get schooled in currency trading.
It actually makes sense since there is only one degree of separation between hard core currency traders and drug dealers anyway.
Hey there is a statistic...how much does the average currency trader spend on drugs every week?
Probably more than the average small time drug dealer buys. The average currency trader probably snorts a dustbin full of coke every day.

Meanwhile, the reversion from $15x lacks conviction. This will lead to a slow grind.down again followed by another acceleration down. I hope Lamb can speed up the process a bit. Saves us 2-3 months.
Why? What will happen once we're completely down?
I'm hoping it's not another slow grind.down again followed by another acceleration down.

Bitcoin wont fail because the technology was revolutionary. But I cant argue with someone who says its worth .50 cents or someone else who ways 1 unit is worth 1 million dollars
Apparantly someone thought 10000 of them was worth a large pizza, and another person thought it was worth $1200 last spring
It was two large pizzas actually, he drove a hard bargain.

Looks like Bitstamp has started buying back the 19k stolen coins.
I thought it started at Finex. Anybody see who shot first?
If they decided to buy them on exchanges why would they wait until now rather than buy at ~150 to ~160?

Some analysts have not discounted the possibility. However I'd have thought Bitstamp would do OTC trades.

Or maybe their bids just didn't get filled. It's not like it was at 150 for more than a few minutes.
During the second dump it was at ~160 for quite a while.

don't worry everyone.. i made sure that bitcoin will not dip below 160 again ever.
i am thinking to buy a bunch of ripple too.. that act alone should crash take out the ripple.
all i have to do is buy into something and it will crash within a year.
i have proven this to be a scientific fact by reproducing the phenomena multiple times!
You are not alone brother.

the ongoing drop in btc price appears identical to the pm's drop in price.
the pm's are smashed down regularly and will reach a new low then capped in that new lower range.
we are seeing the same thing in btc where each 'crash down' or 'smash down' leaves btc trading in a new lower range.
i do believe that 3600 coins daily inflation and selling pressure but the similarity to pm's 'smash downs' is remarkable.
What does pm mean in this context?

If stock market goes well, people invest in stock market instead of BTC.
If economy is bad, people invest less in risky markets like BTC.
One way or another people will have a reason to don't invest in BTC
recall last time the chinese had trouble with interest rates?
Could a crash happen in the west that mirrors the chinese one?

Projected pessimistic targets back on track. Let's see if Bear momentum of last week will return or not. Bulls not easily frightened these days. Yen 1250 on Huobi is major Support zone. If we break that, it is the $136 target we are projecting. Good luck trading!
Why $136?

Certainly not because bitcoin is undervalued jorge! You are hilarious.
Well, I find hilarious all those bitcoin experts who last May predicted 10'000 USD/BTC or more (way more) for Jan/2015. (And who now are saying that "the price does not matter, what matters is the technology".)
You know, I am actually glad to be totally ignorant about bitcoin.
I wonder if you could actually find some of these experts you find so hilarious. Can you or any of the trolls find at least two people who predicted $10K coins, who now say the price doesn't matter.
And you have been around way to long to claim ignorance about Bitcoin, otherwise I would question your claims of being a highly educated person.
Here's one
........
That way you won't have to be standing with your pants around your ankles in 12 months time when the price is at $10,000 ranting about why it has "no value"
...........
I bought bitcoin in 2013 because I thought it was an exciting phenomenon and I wanted to have a "horse in the race". I wanted to be in bitcoin - not in dollars because I thought it was an immensely powerful technology and had a bright future. I measure the success of my "judgement" in terms of adoption, proliferation of understanding, consolidation of the technology etc,

To the defense, it could just be someone green behind the ears when they first started and thinking it would be 10K by now.
Myself, I have learned so much from this community ( more so on how to use the ignore option )... what I think now vs when I first got in is just astronomical.
True, I also knew nothing when I started, and could see no reason to dispute claims doge could hit $1. Now I understand that market cap and number of coins minted mean it needs a cap of over $97 billion for each coin to be worth $1. I was green behind the ears too.

I still read your main account, you put quite a bit of effort into that one, but your alts go on ignore
you turned to a delusional cultist.... but hey who knows, maybe I am the delusional one here, we will see about it later.
Aww, second time you accuse me of becoming a "cultist". You'll note that there are no "$10k coin in summer" predictions coming from me.
But when the retardo troll crowd tries to spin another major investment by the legacy finance world as further signs that crypto is doomed... well, it's getting a bit transparent.
This is what I am trying to say, Bitcoin is fine for now, in fact it is doing better than anytime before...but Bitcoin price is really not OK, the soonest this bubble burst the faster things can develop and normal growth can start again ( and we can get rid of these fucking trolls, both sides bears and bulls).... for now it is just painful, slow and boring bear market.
I agree, the sooner this bear bubble bursts the better.
As long as there is mining to prove bitcoin's work and the blockchain. There will be a 'bear bubble', I think there is a total of 3250 btc that needs to be sold daily for miners to return their electricity pay.
oh not again with this no-argument plz. big miners dont dump. or else they dump OTC. not on stamp or finex.
I'm sure some do, is there a lot of liquidity on OTC?
The OTC buyers must sell to someone. What if they dump on stamp or finex?

Looks like $150 was a short term bottom after all, as I suggested it might be. Personally I stayed out because I'm not trading this anymore, but congratz to Blitz and the others who bought and made a very nice percentage, gotta acknowledge a good trade when traders make one
I'm still pretty convinced it's just a short term bottom though. As always, there is all the time in the world to break below that.
You bulls will have to pump it a lot more to break that or to break the previous bubble high at $260.
Good luck with all that, definitely not an easy task
Was thinking the same, whoever bought @<$200 just made a good trade, just don't be greedy and sell before the next crash (which I think is not going to take long before happening ), I think the price will race a bit because of the panics buys thinking it is a reversal (but I don't think we can go over 300) then it will settle for a couple of days before the next crash and the next new lower bottom.
Edit: I stopped trading at $580 and got all my funds out of stamp, I have mixed feelings about not trading and missing these opportunities but I also can't take any risks at this critical time.
What convinced you stamp was unreliable enough for you to pull everything out when the price was $580?

Still in the $233 range I see.

Absence of regulations, wild west penny stock pumps and shenaningans-driven exchanges is one of the reasons bitcoin's price pumped as much as it did.
Why should people give two shits about a regulated bitcoin exchange?
It might have something to do with the potential lawsuit mentioned here.
http://tripplevy.com/news/coinbase-inc-investigation-of-licensure-of-coinbases-bitcoin-exchange/Coinbase, Inc. – National Securities Law Firm Investigates Licensure Of Coinbase’s Bitcoin Exchange
January 29, 2015
New York, New York
Tripp Levy PLLC, a leading national securities and shareholder rights law firm, announces that it is investigating Coinbase, Inc. for allegedly making false and misleading statements to prospective and current users of Coinbase’s Bitcoin Exchange regarding its business.
On January 26, 2015, Coinbase announced that it launched the first regulated Bitcoin Exchange in the United States, and that it is licensed to do business in 25 states, including New York and California. Coinbase’s statement may have artificially inflated the price of Bitcoins as the cybercurrency rose to $263. However, it was later revealed by New York’s Department of Financial Services and California’s Department of Business Oversight that Coinbase did not have the licenses necessary to operate as a Bitcoin Exchange in New York or California. Following this announcement, the price of a Bitcoin fell to $233.
If you are a user of Coinbase’s Bitcoin Exchange and have information that may be helpful to our investigation or would like additional information regarding this investigation, please contact us toll free at 1-800-511-7037 or contact us via our website.

I am thinking of opening an account on bitfinex, unless somebody advises against it, if not would anybody have a referred code for it? thanks
Bitfinex with their inside trading (manipulating).. could be new Gox soon. So yah, deposit only as much as you are willing to risk.
Dunno, the arb between Stamp and Bitfinex would have me concerned with the former.
Here's a code if you want to risk trading there. None of the exchanges seem completely safe to me.

Hello,
I was just curious if there is any sort of bitcoin bug bounty?
I have discovered a serious bug in all previous (and current) bitcoin reference clients which would allow a denial of service on an arbitrary number of bitcoind nodes (as run by exchanges for example).
While this bug may not leak any private data, it allows you to shoot down bitcoin nodes that you are directly connected to. Arbitrary code execution may be possible (but was not tested).
The denial of service works, tested locally in Bitcoin 0.9 and 0.10 branches.
Newspapers or Journalists may ask me for a demonstration in private.
If anyone is intrested in a disclosure, I am asking 10 BTC for my time doing a write-up
including detailed explanations: 1LaV9xQvmd1gR4fYYWgFMpPXEgAwBYCQN1
If the balance will not reach 10 BTC, I will pay all amounts back. I will also cover the transaction costs myself.
is he a serious guy?
Might be a way to scam 10 BTC.
If he really wanted a bounty for it he could get a world from theymos or other rich bitcoiners that they would give him 10 BTC as soon they proof the bug is true
The Kraken exchange offers bounties for finding bitcoin security vulnerabilities.

Everything on the chart is telling me that we are heading to double digits, the walls popping up and down are just a desperate attempt to hold the sinking ship, or a delusion of missing the opportunity of buying the bottom... the only healthy way for Bitcoin to survive is for this bubble to finally burst which can allow for a new path... and leave all the limitations (of course they have to be fixed first ) and the dark history behind.
And you think that with Bitcoin at double digits there will be no more trolls here yelling Bitcoin is doomed and we'll be seeing single digits soon? There will be even more of them then and they will be louder.
Also what dark history are you talking about and how does Bitcoin trading at double digits leave that behind exactly?

Good grief, if things stay this lifeless then this thread will go days w/ just pages of chartbuddy posting unmoving price charts. However, something should be happening tomorrow at least. I'd imagine this Swedish thing is popping up for a reason and perhaps there's demand waiting with baited breath.
There was a big step down about half a week ago and the market has been moving in steps with fairly flat prices in between. There will most likely be another step in the price soon. However, the last half week must have had the lowest volume trading for months.

Max Keiser is a Pump-and-Dumping scammer. In my book he deserves zero respect, even if he gets it right once in a while (which he will of course loudly publicize, in order to build enough credit to initiate his next P&D).
He is.
But he also was the face of Bitcoin once, as Roger Ver is now and Bruce Wagner was before him. It's just takes a certain personality trait. That makes me wonder why Roger "GoX is fine" Ver is still hold in so high regard.
He's not, but he talks funny. Proper nerd. So we listen.
I don't trust Max Keiser because first he supported Max coin, then disowned it and claimed it was nothing to do with him. He changed his tune too much for my liking. If he has already done it with an alt coin then he will probably do the same with any Bitcoin related project he gets involved in.

Merkel just announced that the terms for their bailout end at midnight.
So the vote is worthless at this point.
This is what she actually said :
"This evening at exactly midnight central European time the programme expires. And I am not aware of any real indications of anything else," Ms Merkel at a news conference with Kosovo's prime minister today.
"Beyond this, it is clear that we will not close the channels of communication after midnight tonight ... that means the door remains open to talks but I cannot say any more than this," she said.
Asked whether she was aware of a last-minute offer Mr Juncker, Ms Merkel responded: "All I know is that the last offer from the Commission that I'm aware of is from Friday of last week."
Such doublespeak!
"I am not aware of any real indications of anything else" - just lol ... so something is being discussed then
The programme expires, but doors remain open to talks ...
Nice side-step on the Juncker question ... the last 'official' offer was Friday - well we already knew that. That was not the question!!
What a farce! At this point I would not put it past them to be just buying a few more hours for the banks to position themselves ...
EDIT: Apologies - this is what the Daily Telegraph said she said and may bear little or no resemblance to her actual words
If you want to read more doublespeak take a look at the EU offer proposed to Greece on Sunday. They published it in the interests of "transparency" but it's written in double dutch.

I think they are only reopening 700 branches on Thursday to let pensioners who don't have ATM cards withdraw their pensions. There will also be a limit on how much each pensioner can withdraw, it's probably a week of two of pension money.

It can take a long time to wire money from a bank account to an exchange, sometimes close to a week. Towards the end of this week wired money will be arriving in exchanges and it could rapidly drive the price higher than we expect. $300 might happen sooner than we think.

Can somebody explain this to me like I'm a 5 year old:
XT is supposed to make bitcoin futureproof, but how is it going to achieve that, when it can be spammed up to ~1.15gb / day, meaning that it'll take just 100 days for a determined attacker to increase the blockchain to +115gb, and around a year to take it up half a terabyte. Is this "futureproofing" or ensuring that the future of bitcoin is one where it dies out of bloat and where no-one wants to download it?
Increasing the fees within the 1mb limit is a far more acceptable strategy. If that means bitcoin not doing microtransactions (at least in the traditional / on-chain way), so be it. Gold coins weren't used for microtransactions either, they had silver and copper coins for that.
Good explanation.
Personally I'm still undecided.
Looking back at satoshis posts shows that he always expected the blockchain to get really big and for the vast majority of people to use 'client only mode'. Is this best path for Bitcoin? I'm not sure.
He talked about pruning the blockchain down to remove the bloat. Unfortunately nobody can agree on any major change and discussing any change that big would probably get all the devs arguing like cat and dog. The sheer size of the blockchain as it stands today does nothing but put people off installing the QT.

Terabyte hard drives are standard now. A year from now 5 TB drives will be standard. That's a worst case scenario and could still be easily handled.
It's not only the physical sizeof the hard drive needed to store the blockchain that's causing problems. The length of time it takes to index the blockchain is getting longer as the size of the blockchain increases. That creates problems for anyone running a full wallet that needs to use it in a hurry if it takes hours, days, or weeks to index.

If you insist on running a full node then you'll have to run a full node. I don't see the problem. If it's a security issue then there are alternatives such as Trezor or other HW wallets. Or just load the private key into a client wallet on a clean device and send the remaining coins to a new cold wallet. If running a full node has to be as effortless as syncing your icloud account then Bitcoin is dead in the water.
I have never run a full node, the only knowledge I have of the experience is from posts by others here. Spider-Carnage said his computer took about 4 days to index the blockchain, and I have heard others complaining of longer durations. I have sometimes read posts by the operators of exchanges saying Bitcoin withdrawals will be delayed for hours while they reindex their Bitcoin wallet. If this problem is ignored such delays will get longer. It would be better to deal with the problem before things get any worse, and if it's possible to fix it and make running a full node as effortless as syncing your icloud account then more people will start running full nodes to help the network.

Bitstamp was a low volume exchange back in summer/fall 2013. Gox was the highest volume exchange back then. Now Bitstamp is one of the highest volume exchanges for USD trades.

We are nowhere close to "everything will suck soon" tm. You guys have been saying that for a year now btw.
Actually several years. We've been repeatedly pointing at the same stupid, unnecessary hard ceiling, and pointing out that the inexorable trend of increasing transactions has us on a clear intersect.
In the meantime, we have recently gone from things never sucking in regards to capacity, to things sucking for brief flashes of time. The issue is not how much one needs to pay to get a transaction through, the issue is that with the current block size,
no more than about 350,000 transactions can be processed in a day. Period. No matter how much money is thrown at the transactions.There have been times when I had to wait for multiple full blocks before my transactions got included in one. The time from sending the transactions to getting six confirmations was hours, not an hour like it's supposed to take. At other times when the blocks weren't full and if I got lucky getting included in a block and getting six confirmations took less than an hour. The problem's already manifesting itself, but intermittently.

Wall Street doesn't give a toss about decentralization. If it turns out the market doesn't either, eventually a competing hard fork will take Core's place.
Smallblockers want to maintain node decentralization by centralizing code development.
I don't see any way to decentralize code development. Competing protocols doesn't seem to be the answer.
everyone codes whatever feather they want
miners vote on the feathers they are ready and willing to accept
once >90% of miners are all accepting a specific feather it is turned on.
core is going to start using this method soon.
But even if 90% of the miners are mining something, it's the nodes that determine the longest valid chain. That's why they can't just fork off at will. Isn't it?
But it's damn cheaper to set up 1000 nodes than to run a mining farm. Any big farm that wanted to get control of the majority of nodes could temporarily set up thousands of them running the software of their choice. How many nodes would $50000 buy? That kind of money's small change to a big mining farm.

http://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/posts/bitcointalk/65/The price of any commodity tends to gravitate toward the production cost. If the price is below cost, then production slows down. If the price is above cost, profit can be made by generating and selling more. At the same time, the increased production would increase the difficulty, pushing the cost of generating towards the price.
In later years, when new coin generation is a small percentage of the existing supply, market price will dictate the cost of production more than the other way around.
At the moment, generation effort is rapidly increasing, suggesting people are estimating the present value to be higher than the current cost of production.
... does that spell it out clearly enough for you?
Doesn't the fact that supply is fixed suggest that production cost follows the price?
... therein lies the magic, difficulty ratchets up cost and price ratchets up difficulty ... it's a virtuous circle from which the counterfeiters cannot escape.
Yes, but nothing ratches up price, so it is the driving factor, no?
People panic buying when they panic about missing out ratches up the price. The more people hear about the price ratching up, the more people start panic buying. That's the biggest driving factor.

Yes, so far good news is there was no mega dump But, the fact there's still the same trading pattern as before confuses me even though we should wait more to make any comment.
I would say the halving has been priced in when we reached almost $800 in June. Now is ordinary work
Nothing happened on the first halving day, or for months afterwards. The price stayed flat then slowly climbed. There was no pump, the price gradually climbed for months afterwards, and that might be how the price works in the next months of summer.

I don't really know who this pilkington bloke is. Luton seemed OK enough to me. I've lived in Glasgow and Edinburgh and had a fine old time in both. I even went on holiday to Hull and nearly shat myself with sheer joy but nothing's beaten Port Glasgow though most of Coventry runs it pretty close.
The urban planners did more damage to Coventry than Hitler's bombs ever could.
Regarding the crap towns vote, you missed out Sunderland. You really should visit it considering it was voted third crappest town in the UK. The best time to visit is when there's a home game against Newcastle on. Here's a few pictures of the aftermath of a previous game so you know what to expect.
