AFAIK, that press release is about the new engine, but they're keeping it non-technical and only talking about "rules" instead.

Hmmm...  I've read here on the forum that people have had bids and asks rejected without the funds to cover.  Anecdotal, of course - and finding those posts would be difficult.

Nevertheless - we are still in a situation where the Bid Sum is at an all time high.

I tried, and doesn't let me add bids/asks without the funds. So looks like the rule is implemented.

If this goes on I think it will badly damage confidence and the price will go down down down maybe 47.


I definitely not a good thing for Bitcoin. Not saying the price should crash now as a result, just stating the obvious ... that the unreliability, inadequacy and incompetence of the main exchange is not a good advert and makes them vulnerable.

Be very surprised if some of the 'smart money' sitting on the sidelines at the moment is not seriously considering taking a run at them. TBH after all that has just happened, I think that would probably be the best trade at the moment. And the best thing for Bitcoin.

It may be a good business, but is a minefield of strict government regulations, hacker attacks, and being at the mercy of bankers. I know I would never do that business. You can gain, but you can lose it all without notice if some bureaucrat wakes up badly and shuts you down.

Stop whining and use another exchange already.

What other exchanges are there?!

Btce is infested with java exploit links and its based in russia. Could use Bitstamp but they might be overwhelmed and get their bank account shut just as it happened with bitfloor, bitcoin24.

I never ever used mtgox, only bitfloor and bitstamp. More variety is good, but mtgox is just unstable and has a crappy UI so I stick to bitstamp now.

ALL my coins are now safely stored in paper wallets and stored in 3 super-secret locations. My choice of location is so utterly radical nobody will ever find them! Muhahaha.

Just remember that after a few days the socks will smell badly so you have to move your wallets to another location.

So , you would buy a 200k Mercedes from a website hosted on a shared hosting , with a domain purchased via Domainsbyproxy?


It is probably as safe as craigslist Wink
