GOX at least credited you GOXbux, this is way worse.
StampBux you're gonna get stamped guys.
Bitstamp had to swap banks last year didn't it? I wonder if they will have to swap again.

Good morning Bitcoinland.
5 days now going sideways in the $240s. Same slanted bidwall as last week.
Summer doldrums or the calm before the storm?
Hmmmm.
It could have been the calm before the storm, there was a 3k dump into that wall on finex that dumped the price down to a low of 239. That 22k wall's now gone down to 18k. A thousand Bitcoins in that sell wall must have been fake because they got pulled after someone started dumping.

It's dropped below 240 again on Bitfinex, someone's started attacking that giant wall again. The Greek crisis talks didn't go very well today and that's spooked the regular markets. Perhaps it's also spooking the Bitcoin market.

"Only" 12K ask wall? Used to be 20K. What happened to the finex whale?
It was probably a fake wall made from borrowed coins. The person who put it up probably couldn't afford to keep paying the interest it cost to borrow that many coins and decided to return them. Alternatively he might soon put up a giant sell wall like the last time when a giant buy wall got switched to a giant sell wall.

is btce going under or just recovering from that fat finger market sale?
sub 270, but above 150.
I guess they recovered, but not fully
And Greece lifted some bank restrictions, so I think prices will fall
I know OKcoin had some complicated system that mean't leveraged litecoin holders lost money when someone lost a fortune on a leveraged trade. They split the losses he couldn't cover between the other leveraged traders.
I think btc-e might offer leverage on Bitcoin, and that crash might have caused similar problems. Someone must have lost a fortune due to that crash.

Coindesk has picked up the story and gives the same account as that reddit post translation of the original Nikkei story. I'm surprised he hasn't been charged until now, but it often takes the police a long time to gather evidence. How long would his sentence be if he's found guilty of all charges?
http://www.coindesk.com/report-tokyo-police-seeking-fraud-charges-against-mt-gox-ceo/The Tokyo Metropolitan Police is reportedly pursuing criminal charges against Mark Karpeles, CEO of the now-defunct, Japan-based bitcoin exchange Mt Gox.
Domestic news service Nikkei reported on 31st July that, according to an official with the city's police force, Karpeles is being investigated for allegedly using dummy exchange accounts with fictitious bitcoin balances to meet customer orders.
...
Police also suspect that Karpeles may have misappropriated actual bitcoins deposited by users, allegations that could lead to embezzlement charges.

A new and intriguing story, it seems that DPR had another wallet that hasn't yet been accessed by the feds:
I was always a little confused by the coin stats. I thought there were several hundred thousand more of Ross's personal coins. The coins that were sold were SR's coins, not his. Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention. Looks like ignorance being bliss has finally paid off.
The first auction was for the SR's coins. Sometime after that DPR/Ulbricht agreed to hand over his coins to the feds and let them put them up for auction. The deal was if he won his case he could keep the auction money, but if he lost the feds could keep the auction money. I think the only coins the feds found belonging to DPR/Ulbricht were on his laptop. He might have had other coins hidden elsewhere that only he knows about.

Completely off-topic: Anyone else being forced/repeatedly prompted to agree to a bunch of legal crap in order to do a simple google-search?
is this a joke >.>?
Nope, using Bing atm. I know Google is milking us dry for information, but them demanding me to actively accept it is a bit too much. Passive acceptance and living in denial is more my style.
When searching I get a message asking me to read something every now and then, but ignored it. I have never been forced to agree to any legal crap to do a simple search. I might have been forced to agree to something to continue using my gmail account but I can't remember.
It could depend where you live in the world because Google had legal battles in various jurisdictions worldwide. They might have devised new legal agreements in jurisdictions where they lost,

Cryptsy is in the top 5 companies being investigated. I wonder if Bittrex and Poloniex are also in the top 5, and if I should get my Bitcoins out of them ASAP? Are the owners likely to go on the run to Mexico after dumping all the Bitcoins held on those exchanges? I assumed the feds would arrest them before revealing their intentions to prosecute. As it stands the Cryptsy owners know they face prosecution months in advance, and the other exchanges know they could face prosecution soon .

WTF, nothing happens for weeks, then we get news of the feds prosecuting Crptsy, Gemini opening, and the final US marshals auction all on the same day! Were the feds waiting for Gemini to announce a launch date before they announced their auction date? Will those three events start a roller coaster ride, or will we get more months of flat prices?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but why do some bears consider that last SR auction, good news for them?Aren't those auction participants buying at market price or slightly above it? Why would they dump those coins on exchanges instead of waiting for a significant increase in price?
The mere announcement of an auction often produced a dump even if the price pumped after the auction. We never found out what any winner paid, and I think it depended on sentiment at the time of particular auctions. I guess the first auction winner paid $500 - $600 market price to win all the coins. Although there was a good pump after the first auction the winner says he's still holding them. However, I guess the second auction winners paid less than the market price judging by the post auction dump. The sentiment was bearish at the time of the second auction.

I don't think TA is that widespread an issue among monkeys. The only one I've heard of is aminorex's. Macsga might have one going, but I still haven't heard back from him about that.
Aminorex's monkey is typically wrong so his TA skills must be hopeless. I'm certainly not taking investment advice off aminorex's monkey. Nevertheless his monkey makes better guesses than some of the TA experts who post here. I stopped listening to the experts some time ago.

1,450 btc market buy. Did Stolfi back up the truck to pick up a shipment?
Is there a reason for the 1,450 btc market buy, or is it due to a whale farting, or some leveraged trade gone wrong? The only news I heard is that Garza is getting charged for running a Ponzi, and I don't think that's what led to the market buy. That news was out before today anyway.

don't get me started on the "gender equality" thing, in my view this is yet another trick they used to 2x more work out of us slaves.
before women stayed at home and did "nothing" now we split the "nothing" and both go to work!
we got fucked royally!
Now we have to pay someone else to look after our kids, and do "nothing" because both husband and wife have to work. That generates even more work for people to look after kids. I'm old fashioned and think our kids would have better childhoods being brought up by their parents than by paid childminders.

Anyhow, probably time to put on a full-node again,
I restarted 24/7 on mine about a month ago, due to the controversy. Currently running Core, but not as support for core dev position. I am _very_ motivated to find an alternative. If only the 'anything but 1MB4EVA stasis' crowd had a single standard to rally around...
Do you run yours from your computer at home, or from a vps?
I have been meaning to start running one, but I can't run mine from home, and it costs quite a lot for a decent vps that's reliable and has sufficient bandwidth. What's the lowest spec vps that can run a full node, and how much data would it probably use in a month?

This thread says tarmi sold his account in July and it might have been sold again in November.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1305800.0All the latest posts by the tarmi account are in an altcoin called coinbuilder's thread. There's no chance the old tarmi who started the account would only post in the altcoin section. Does anyone know how much he got for his account, and how much the next buyer got if it was sold twice?

Time for me to head off to the ballpark but I'll take my Android device and keep checking the price.
Seems we're forming a nice little triangle in the mid-$640s after the break through $650 and the correction down to $639.
Should reach a point by the time the ballgame is over, which should be close to when the Chinese start waking up. More fireworks tonight?
Let`s wait when Chinese wake up and news in West begin to announce that BTC surpassed 10 bn marketcap!
The Chinese volume crashed about an hour ago. The Chinese traders who stayed awake all night because of the pump probably couldn't keep their eyes open any longer. In another five hours they will all wake up and start buying again, and expect more mooning when the banks open on Monday morning and the Chinese can start pumping more money into the exchanges.

Is there something wrong with finex? Can't make an account there
I have no problems accessing it, but I haven't tried to make an account today.
Bitfinex did tweet on 1 July that there was a connection issue between the Americans and Europe which was affecting the website. Apparently the problem was fixed the same day but maybe it's resurfaced today.
https://twitter.com/bitfinex/status/748937197173108737It seems there are widespread connection issues, especially between Americans and Europe. Many services are affected, including us.

The status page says everything's OK, so maybe the problem is at your end.

Does anybody know if any verification is neccessary for deposit and withdrawal of bitcoins on finex?
No verification is needed but it may depends on your location..
I don't think verification is needed for small amounts of Bitcoins, but if you start moving big amounts of Bitcoins Bitfinex might suddenly demand verification, and refuse to let you have your coins back without it. Plus, beware of possible withdrawal delays if the hot wallet's empty. Their terms say they can take up to 12 hours to process a withdrawal.
https://www.bitfinex.com/supportHow long does it take for a BTC/LTC/ETH withdrawal to be processed?
When you enable two-factor authentication your withdrawal will be approved instantly, unless you have logged with a new IP address in the previous 24 hours.
If you haven't enabled two-factor authentication you will receive an email to confirm your withdrawal. Your withdrawal will not be approved and processed as long as you don't confirm it with this link. Please note that while most withdrawals of Bitcoins/Litecoins will be processed within 2 minutes, the guaranteed processing time is within 12 hours. A withdrawal might be delayed for two reasons:
Our "hot wallet" (special wallet used to process withdrawals) is empty.
For Bitgo enabled accounts, the withdrawal hit a spending limit (global or specific to the account).

Hmm, well it says nothing about verification for BTC withdrawals so what would be "big" withdrawals? 200 BTC or more?
I don't know, but their terms of service say that at any time they can suddenly demand verification. They say they are always monitoring for suspicious transactions, and I suppose any giant Bitcoin withdrawal would get flagged. However with the volume going through the exchange they would probably consider 10 BTC small change.

Re: Bitfinex. I'm in. Why are there three different Bitcoin deposit addresses?
Exchange Wallet
Trading Wallet
Deposit Wallet
You should ask them, anyone can troll you or give a honest but wrong answer. The explanation must be somewhere in the site, and you can contact their support
The Bitfinex support page explains why are there three different Bitcoin deposit addresses. It's because there are three different account types. You can move your Bitcoins over to any account type you like at any time you want on your account Settings page. If you only want to buy and/or sell Bitcoin open an Exchange account and use the deposit address for that.
https://www.bitfinex.com/supportWhat are the three account types and which should I choose?
Trader: This account type allows access to margin trading, exchange and margin funding
Exchange: This account type allows access to exchange and margin funding
Deposit: This account type allows access to margin funding
Can I change my account type later?
Account Settings page
How can I take advantage of Bitfinex's features even if I don't feel like buying any Bitcoin or Litecoin?
You can open a Deposit account and provide margin funding in US dollars to other Bitfinex traders. See Margin Funding.
I would like to simply buy and/or sell Bitcoin, what should I do?
You can open an Exchange account and use the "Exchange" tab of Bitfinex
