A user here quoted a dounet image which was posted by the winks on their insta account.
The plate had 4 delicious donuts
and the user said that the donut equals to zero and this means that zero day is on Friday.
It is national Doughnut day (in the US of A)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Doughnut_DayI know, the user said it have something to do with the launch of Gemini.
friday, the day the image was posted, was national donut day, not this coming friday ...
So ... a plate of donuts posted on national donut day ... hmmm ... what could tha mean? Happy National Donut Day maybe ?? Occam's Razor anyone ??
But no, it must be a code ... you add the rocket pic as a 1 and the 4 donuts and its a sign that price will be at $10,000 last friday. That must be it
Is there some way to confirm that insta account.was started by the winks?
I don't use insta but it looks very barren and I wonder how easily someone could fake it.

Tyler Winklevoss is following the account, NY Times, the Wall Street Journal is, Vogue with over 4 million followers.
Many more legit accounts are too, take a look.
That Gemini exchange is definitely a verified instagram account.
They haven't got many followers because they've only put 3 pics up, they're not exactly pushing or advertising the account very well.
I followed the twitter link that phoenix1 posted and the insta account is definitely the winks. I thought they would have done a better job of it though. I expect people to post rocket pictures here but I thought they would be above that on their insta account.

Will EUR fall or skyrocket?
Then we know something for BTC
Grexit or none?
- Mayer Amschel
The Greek people didn't vote to be out of the Euro.
A deal will be done.
Grexit = none
The negotiations are going badly today at the crucial meeting to make a deal before the last possible deadline today. They are already talking about having another crucial meeting to make a deal before the last possible deadline on Saturday. The difference between this time and the last time is the EU has had a chance to prepare and plan for a Grexit so it might not be prepared to compromise as much as the last time.

Is anyone here attending the conference, and is it like hdbuck's depiction of it? That had me rolling round on the floor in stitches of laughter. Are tickets for it really $1500? If they really cost that much then the scammers here would make more money organizing conferences than creating shitcoin IPOs.

Oh shit, BLOCKCHAIN IS DOWN!
Shortly my ass! How am I supposed to transact with my Bit-coins?
You are not the first person to find yourself in that situation, so someone made a thread explaining how to get your private key from the encrypted "wallet.aes.json" backup file emailed to you when you created your blockchain.info wallet.
Once you have your private key the guide explains how to import it into electrum, or multibit. However, the guide was written before multibit changed to multibit HD, so you should use the instructions explaining how to import your key into electrum.
This is the OP of the "how to" thread.
Blockchain.info Wallet is the most popular online wallet for Bitcoin. So when it is unexpectedly down for maintenance, plenty of users are caught off guard, unable to send Bitcoins for a payment or to exchanges.
Some advanced users would have exported the wallet or private keys in various format, and keep them in a safe place, ready to be imported into other Bitcoin clients. However, most users would just have the encrypted "wallet.aes.json" backup file emailed to them, and wouldn't know what to do with it.
This guide aims to help users to prepare themselves for a quick access to their Blockchain Wallet funds with "wallet.aes.json" backup if Blockchain.info is offline. I will try to improve this guide as it goes.

Are we still in bull trap mode? Or what do you think the next general trend is?
Better question is, when, if ever, is the China/US $15-20 spread going to end.
I'm asking this since the dump stopped. Why is there so much difference? And yes is it going to last or not?
I don't like to know there's too much spread between China and USa/EU. That's not healthy
Don't quote me on this, but I think the Chinese exchanges might only be accepting fiat ACH deposits, and not allowing fiat ACH withdrawals. If it's right then they can only buy on Chinese exchanges, and they have to sell on exchanges in the West. That could explain the price imbalance.

Huobi down?
I can't find any trades on Huobi for the last 15 minutes. It's probably down as there was a spike on all the other exchanges in the last few minutes. The Huobi traders would have reacted to that if it had been up. Maybe the DDOS attacks on exchanges have started again.

Ugh for Cryptsy guy. Considering the number of utter shitcoins they have on there I've no idea how they kept chugging along without wanting to top themselves. There must be broken blockchains and failed wallets all over the place. I'm willing to bet there are certain coins that solely exist on their database. They should rename it Ghostly.
They have a page showing each wallet's status. A large number of wallets are flagged as having network issues, which in most cases means their network is nonexistent and will never work again. Those coins are merely database entries, which are cheap for Cryptsy to manage because they don't ever need expensive support staff to waste paid time maintaining wallets.

I have been following the recent block size debates through the mailing list. .....
Satoshi Nakamoto
I had not seen that letter until now, but it looks like a lot of vague bla-bla without even a hint of a technical argument.
I'll eat my hat if that was written by any of the very skilled mathematician/cryptographer(s) that designed bitcoin.
What did you expect to read? Maths and crypto, for things related to social engineering, populist methods, consensus and forks?
No, but something a little more intelligent would have been nice.
Do you still cling to the belief that this was written by satoshi in an attempt to ride in like a knight in shining armour to save you? Really?
The funniest thing about that ruse was gmax's earnest reply to it....
There was a spoofed message sent to the linuxfoundation mailing list that looked like it was sent by Satoshi through vistomail.com saying that Satoshi was not Craig Wright.
Theymos proved it was spoofed by checking where it really came from. I don't know how theymos did it, but couldn't he also check whether the Satoshi mail we are discussing is spoofed?

The main advantages of Ethereum over Bitcoin is that people in control are qualified and expected to not screw everything, unlike Core people.
You must be oblivious to the development crisis's and mistakes in Ethereum and the flight of developers from that project.
I think its main advantage could be that the founder of the project is still there and functions as a "natural consensus".
Also its good that his identity is known.Apart from that ETH could get the same problems and civilwars that Bitcoin is experiencing.
Good point.
All this cultist crap around Satoshi is not healthy.
Might be nice to know some lone ranger can't suddenly up and flood the market with bags and bags of coins. IDK. It is a trust machine, after all.
This might hurt.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/45bhus/so_the_ethereum_foundation_can_now_fund_itself/czwqr30I don't understand, why would it hurt?
Because the Ethereum foundation has humongous expenses it has to pay each month, and it only has ~$750k in non-ETH assets left to pay them with. After that all it has left is ~1.65 million ETH to pay those expenses with, and if it can now fund itself that could mean dumping those ETH for Bitcoins, then dumping the Bitcoins for fiat.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/45bhus/so_the_ethereum_foundation_can_now_fund_itself/czwpr04[–]vbuterinEthereum -- Vitalik Buterin 52 points 11 hours ago
The foundation currently has ~1.65 million ETH, plus ~$750k in non-ETH assets. 1650000 * 6.1 + 750000 = $10,815,000. Based on our current ~$200k/month burn rate, that will last us ~54 months ~= 4.5 years. That said, we are planning some substantial expansions which will increase our expenses but also get casper and other fun stuff out the door much faster, and we are also starting to get interest for corporate sponsorships coming in, which could secure us a more sustainable funding path in the long term.

what the heck is going on? rally on a sunday morning? (well, by my timezone...)
the easter bunny works in mysterious ways
There's nothing to do on Easter Sunday morning except watch the kids stuffing their faces with Easter eggs. Even the shops are shut on Easter Sunday. People probably got bored and started pumping Bitcoin for something to do. There's cheap half price Easter eggs to buy in the sales tomorrow so the pump might stop then.

But the forum layout is ass. It's like if someone recommends you listen to R&B music and you have to tell them R&B stands for rape and burglary. Billyjoe and all the forum jews probably love it.
yo wtv
just come to
https://bitco.in/forum bcuase you hate bitcointalk.org MMMk
forget everything else
btw bitco.in has a like button.
Nobody's posted in 5+ hours, so either everyone's moved to
https://bitco.in/forum or everyone's buying those cheap Easter eggs in the sales. Personally I'm off to get me some of those cheap Easter eggs, then I'm going to gorge on them until I've eaten so much chocolate that I feel sick.

dafuq is going on. i never understand these pumps. i love them and its exciting but i'm baffled as to why volume is way up when price miles higher than it was a short time ago.
are there really that many people who see it sitting at 250 for like 18 months who suddenly decide to buy when it's 600+?
It didn't sit at 250 for 18 months, it bounced up and down between 200 and 300. Nobody knew if the bottom was in and each time it went back down to 200 people panic sold in case it went further down to 100.
Can you predict how high it will go before crashing again? Will you sell at 5000, then watch it going to 50000 and not buy back at 10000 or 20000?

I can pretty safely say I'll never buy a $10,000 bitcoin. Just sayin'.
if you sell at 50000 and it crashes back down to 10000 are you sure you won't buy back in? It would be tempting to get all your Bitcoins back for a fifth of the money you sold them for. The profits would pay for lambos, etc.

paused right at the 685 high from June of 2014
will it decline from here or continue up...I'd short it but this thing is way to explosive to the upside.
It's continuing up, it was 690 on finex just now. That's past the high from June of 2014 and only 10 dollars less than 700.

Bitfinex will resume trading and withdrawals at 16:00:00 UTC, that's less than 50 minutes from now. The price briefly spiked above $600 on itbit and bitstamp. What will it do after finex trading resumes? Will most of those holding finex dollars start buying bitcoins so they can withdraw immediately?
https://www.bitfinex.com/posts/133Today, August 10th, 2016, at 16:00:00 UTC we will be enabling additional platform features as we continue to restore service after the incident on August 2nd. Exchange trading will be enabled for all currencies and pairs, while deposits and withdrawals will be enabled for BTC, ETC, ETH, and USD - with LTC and Tether to follow shortly thereafter. Exchange trading will also be enabled for the BFX token on pairs BFXUSD and BFXBTC.

That's still about 16 cents more then nothing, which is amazing considering they just pulled this thing out of their ehhhh... they made it appear out of thin air I mean.
It is indeed something. Just goes to show that people will trade anything as long it's on an exchange and has a number attached to it. I might issue my own ThinAir tokens.
On one page they say the tokens do not not waive any claims against finex, but on another they say transferring them transfers any claims against the Bitfinex Group to the transferee. If finex buys them all it can argue in court that there are no claims remaining against it for the hack.
https://www.bitfinex.com/bfx_token_transfersTo transfer a token to another person, a transferor must assign to the transferee any claims that the transferor has against the Bitfinex Group on account of the Losses.
By transferring a token to another person, all transferors thereby assign to the respective transferees any claims that the transferor has against the Bitfinex Group on account of the Losses.
https://www.bitfinex.com/bfx_token_termsThe token has been issued to you without reduction of or other release or waiver of any claims you may have against the Bitfinex Group. Similarly, the Bitfinex Group has not waived any claims or defences it may have under the Terms of Use or otherwise should you choose to assert any claims independent of the token.

An hour passed and the withdrawal is still not even begun. Usually it's immediate.
On one reddit post finex says you have to email support and request it removes the 5 day password reset withdrawal hold lock. Conversely in another post finex says to submit your withdrawal and it will be processed manually despite any withdrawal lock warning.
It's probably best to email support and request finex removes the 5 day password reset withdrawal lock.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4wng2j/site_relaunch_bitfinex_blog/d6bwdorWe will be manually doing this as there are scenarios in which the hold will be maintained. If you need the hold lifted please email support.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4x2abr/platform_service_update_trading_and_withdrawals/d6bx8gtIf you have a withdrawal hold due to the recent password and 2fa update, please submit your withdrawal anyway and we will process it, if we need any additional information we will email you.
We'll be reviewing the withdrawals and processing them on a case by case basis.

Shit, I didn't know we'd be able to trade BFX right away. Now the price is down at .40 each.
Bitfinex can come in at any time and buy these back and claim they made us "whole".
Nagle explains how to sue finex in America, but I don't know if there are similar procedures for EU citizens. He says it only costs $1000, and another $1000 if you lose. The ten Bitcoins finex took off you are worth more than that. If you are thinking of suing finex it might be best not to sell your BFX.
There's a option for US customers - arbitration in San Diego, California. See
Bitfinex's terms of service. The American Arbitration Association's commercial rules apply, which means for claims up to $75,000 arbitration will cost $1000 up front and an additional $1000 if you lose.
Click here to start the arbitration process.
This isn't a complex case. You put money into a Bitfinex account, and they're refusing to pay it back. Any claims of theft are their problem, not yours.
Bitfinex tried to control the process by naming their own arbitrator: "The arbitrator shall be Michael J. Lee, an attorney in San Diego, California or a substitute arbitrator agreed to by a majority of the three parties to these Terms of Service." But there is no Michael J. Lee in San Diego on the
California Bar Association's attorney list. So that clause does not apply.
There are AAA rules and federal laws about arbitration. Having insisted on arbitration, Bitfinex can't make it one-sided. An arbitrator can't be associated with one party; there are procedures for challenging an arbitrator. ("Unless the parties specifically agree in writing that the party-appointed arbitrators are to be non-neutral, arbitrators appointed by the parties in this manner must meet the impartiality and independence standards set forth within the rules ")
If you win an arbitration award in the US, it can be enforced in Hong Kong.
Between 2011 and 2014, the Hong Kong courts never failed to enforce an arbitration judgement.For claims under $75,000, the median time from filing to award is currently 175 days.
In practice, if you file for an arbitration, you're likely to get an offer of settlement, because Bitfinex is going to lose.

looks like quiet a few people moved their coins to Kraken.
At least the liquidity in the order book has increased quiet a bit on EUR/USD.
I like this development. Kraken really deserves more attention now.
This seems to be the finex hot wallet address, but it's only had 5 batch withdrawals worth 10k coins during today.
https://blockchain.info/address/1Kr6QSydW9bFQG1mXiPNNu6WpJGmUa9i1gThe kraken can't have any more than 10k coins from finex so far today. Traders depositing coins from elsewhere to the kraken could be the reason for its increased liquidity.

So zooming out to 1d on the chart, from 5/24, bitcoin is just looking like your typical PnD bubble that we've seen so many times before. A blow off top, followed by long legs down.
Looks like it could eventually deflate all the way back to ~450.
So Dafar, still mocking me thus far?
Quoting myself ftw. Looks like we're just going to keep grinding down ~$10/week or so, until this bubble completely deflates.
Since there are no buyers, looks like the only thing that could put the floor in is the hashrate/mining cost, wherever that may lie.
It's gone down no more than $20 since then, and because of that you're predicting another massive bear market from which Bitcoin never recovers. Dafar will be mocking you in a few months when it's gone back above $600, not down to $450.
