really bad at the minute and the markets tanking. This will exacerbate it. Annoying as f***

It's a digital currency. The "limit" is a concept. You can nudge the decimal point along indefinitely.

If we only have 1 BTC left. That BTC represents the current ~ 21 mill 'limit', and can be divided infinitely.

lose the "The", just 'World Money' it's clean...

Bitcoin - World Money
Bitcoin - The Virtual Standard

'Strength in Numbers' is pretty clever.

This dawned on me a few weeks ago, and i agree. It's both less practical and makes the transition much harder for those new to bitcoin when things are being bought and sold for 0.00xxxxxx.
I think  it would aid bitcoin to have figures in the range of other currencies that people are used to. It's quite alien to most people exchanging decimal amounts of anything. I think it will be more of a hurdle psycologically for newcomers to trade in what they consider a decent amount in fiat and 'only' receive a few decimals.

I think the easiest way is to normalise the use of mBTC in stores and exchanges, although it may cause some confusion, i'm not sure. Maybe Sato's is better

sure, i put it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=148577.0

OK i figured out how to do it, someone should update the wiki




I'm using php so a market order for .v1 would be the same as the example shown here (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/MtGox/API/HTTP) except instead of:

var_dump(mtgox_query('0/buyBTC.php', array('amount' => 1, 'price' => 15)));

it would be something like

var_dump(mtgox_query('1/BTCUSD/private/order/add', array('type' => 'bid', 'amount_int' => 100000000, "price_int" => 1500000) ) );

scrap this, i worked it out 

Hi,

As stated i'm a noob trying to get the hang of the mtgox api.

I have set up my keys and API rights etc and can do basic calls for the ticker for last price etc, but i cannot get a call with a required parameter to work.

What is the correct way to pass multiple variables? I haven't found an example anywhere.

for example how would i make a call for a market order which requires 3 parameters:

type (bid|ask), amount_int, price_int


Any help would be appreciated. I posted this to the noob forum as i thought it was very basic but got little information

OK thanks. I figured i'd have some of the syntax wrong.

It's frustrating that there's so little information available, and the wiki gives details but no examples of how to pass multiple variables. I can learn but i need examples! 

I'm still getting the error, maybe i will post to dev forum, i thought it was too basic tbh.

Bitstamp down?

Hi i am trying to learn how to use the mtgox api but am struggling with some things.

I have managed to make some basic api calls, but am unsure how to pass parameters when it is necessary.


for example to submit an order the wiki says:

###
Submit an order

https://mtgox.com/api/1/BTCUSD/private/order/add

parameters:

    type (bid|ask) (easier to remember: bid == buy, ask == sell)
    amount_int <amount as int>
    price_int <price as int> (can be omitted to place market order)

submits an order and returns the OID and info about success or error
###


I tried:

https://mtgox.com/api/1/BTCUSD/private/order/add?type=ask?amount_int=100000000?price_int=2500000

But im just getting error:

"Invalid parameter "type" (should be ask or bid)"


(Also in INT is 100000000 = 1BTC?)

Hi there,

I'm new to bitcoin and and trying to get my head around the best way to implement bitcoin payments for my website.

I know there are processors such as bitpay, but i would like to avoid the use of a middle man if at all possible for some of my websites.

I'm looking to implement a relatively automated system where by i am alerted when payment is made and then again after x confirmations. What would you say is the most efficient way to do this? I am familiar with mysql/php if that helps.

Also, is best practice to have bitcoind running on a home pc thats on 24/7 and have calls to it from the shared server, or should the bitcoind be installed on that server as well? Does it make much of a difference?

any input is appreciated.

Hi,

I arranged a transaction with a buyer through localbitcoin and have funded the transaction, but we have re-arranged the meeting time. Is there a time limit within which the transaction has to be released, or will it remain active until i choose to release or cancel it?

thanks

great guide thx!

Hey all. Many UK users on here? would be interested to know how you get BTC into your bank accounts as £ now than intersango is up the creek.

kind of a bad spot. if we cant trust, we cant invest heavily. if we cant invest hravily nothing can develop

Bitcoin is are hard enough sell to random people as it is, we don't need barriers to entry on the discussion of bitcoin aswell

I'm not sure why
