Discussion on hackernews: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2550717 Appreciate any thoughts/criticisms/copy edits :) Title: Re: Pseudo Article: Betting on Bitcoins: Fundamentals vs Technical analysis. Post by: Justsomeforumuser on May 15, 2011, 09:18:15 PM Did you take the "In theory, with low enough volume in btc (say $10k/day) and reserves of
bitcoin equal to one days estimated volume; you could accept bitcoin at the current ticker values and convert within seconds to usd; effectively removing currency speculation while still allowing users/cusotmers to purchase in bitcoin." bit from my post? Title: Re: Pseudo Article: Betting on Bitcoins: Fundamentals vs Technical analysis. Post by: kiba on May 15, 2011, 09:32:42 PM Nice. It took me several times to get one Hacker News front page and shortly after, it slips from the front page.

Nope. Not sure which post you are referring to. I was thinking about writing a more extended explanation of how that would work, have you done that already?

Thanks for the (presumed) help getting there :) Whoever wrote: http://bitcoinweekly.com/articles/causes-behind-the-bitcoin-price-rally Where did they get the almost-accurate numbers for the number of sales we have made? That made me LOL to see. We haven't sold quite 45 shirts; but we are close. Title: Re: Pseudo Article: Betting on Bitcoins: Fundamentals vs Technical analysis.

I suspect a direct API with mtGox would lend itself to semi-live exchange, but depth is going to be an issue. Title: Re: Pseudo Article: Betting on Bitcoins: Fundamentals vs Technical analysis.

I bought a shirt from you guys myself, so I saw how the URLs stored the user and order numbers. From there, it was pretty simple. It says "access denied" here (ie. a 10th order exists): http://iusecoins.com/user/1/order/10 It says "page not found" here (ie. a 1000th order does not exist): http://iusecoins.com/user/1/order/1000 Binary search from there.

Think it was in one of the bubble threads or so. Just check my posts via profile, I'm fairly new. :) Was a post <= the day I posted here, ofc. |
