I ran into some weird and massive performance issues (litecoin data, older version of abe, mysql). Couldn't find out what exactly is wrong. mysqld just seems to be really slow. It's inserting the blocks almost as slowly as they are mined and mysqld cripples my system hogging i/o, I guess.
If it persists, I find an easy way to "profile" abe is to interrupt it (ctrl-C) and note the stack trace, then restart, let it get going, and repeat a few times. If the interrupt usually happens in the same query or two, I know what to optimize. It persists. Even accross db venors, meaning that postgres is - while faster than mysql - also having a hard time doing these inserts (manly tx, I guess) You don't happen to have a part with O I think |

Anyone succeed with new MtGox's socket.io interface? I was succesfull with socket.io handshake, server returned "12906784121696250629:15:25:websocket,flashsocket,htmlfile,xhr-polling,jsonp-polling". But then I open WS connection to ws://socketio.mtgox.com:80/mtgox/socket.io/1/websocket/12906784121696250629 and nothing happen, client don't receive any data. Am I doing anything wrong?
I did succeed implementing mtgox socket.io client in my trading client. I used the websocket implementation I used before, coded the handshake. I remember one time where the socket.io would work, websocket would even connect, but no data being delivered. Maybe this problem just reappeared. It's working as expected for me now. |

Let's buy up these shares people...
That's the spirit! |

Make sure to record from two or more angles and especially to have a recording in case one or more of the cameras experiences technical difficulties...
It also gives the cutter something to do  |

We will soon se how serious the person is who has the bid wall at 2.1 $. Selling into this wall is just starting. If this wall falls, we may enter another huge decline.
Tuned into MtGoxLive like 10 seconds before this most recent selloff. Interesting that somebody decided to take advantage of everything that had built up ahead of the wall. Likely somebodies. I know I sure as hell tried. I just don't have the volume for any substantial manipulation though... yet. A lot of the wall at $2.1 got sold into. About 10k of the initial 20k where left, when it disappeared. |

Awesome! Just one suggestion: can you increase/introduce space between candles?
You can Ctrl+Drag on the chart to change the bar spacing. ha! awesome. what other tricks? oh, and what's the meaning of filled vs. non-filled candle sticks? |

Hey John, I ran into some weird and massive performance issues (litecoin data, older version of abe, mysql). Couldn't find out what exactly is wrong. mysqld just seems to be really slow. It's inserting the blocks almost as slowly as they are mined and mysqld cripples my system hogging i/o, I guess. So I just upgraded to newest version from git (actually made a fork) and ran into a typo, I guess: if count % 1000 == 0:
store.commit()
stor.log.info("Updated %d blocks", count)
NameError: global name 'stor' is not defined |

I'll be honest... I'm not going to update a spreadsheet daily and I think that is in your best interests. Who is to say the manually entered information isn't manipulated, incorrect, or outright fradulent? I'm all for automated solutions that can't be manually altered and I have been looking into what is possible. I'll be adding more statistics as soon as I can, although electricty usage will be a tough one (maybe a webcam showing the kill-a-watt meter?). I can add hardware costs and will do so if you'd like. The current hash rate, dividends paid, current hardware, and BTC holdings are all shown on the first page of this thread. Current BTC holdings shows the amount of NMC that have been converted to BTC (none have been converted yet) and are being held in "savings." I think having all of the information available on one thread and updated in real time is actually more beneficial than a spreadsheet located on a different site that has to be manually updated. Perhaps eventually we will have our own website with all of this information available in a sexy format. First, we need to generate more profits, which takes time.
It doesn't need to be daily. The drawback of updating the info in thread is: you dont see the history, which is important. |

can we see some caculations of the last dividend of 1 BTC? why 1 BTC?
I decided on a 1BTC weekly dividend for the following reasons: 1) A 1BTC dividend would be easily sustainable with the current operation. 2) A 1BTC dividend leaves room for future dividend increases. 3) The company is still raising funds for future operations/expansion. 4) A 1BTC dividend makes it very simple for investors to gauge their ownership share in the company. My goal in running this company is to provide a reliable dividend and build value for my investors over the long term. I don't feel paying out 100% of profits is the best way to achieve this goal. Maybe you can make a publicy viewabe spreadsheet with some info. Doesn't need to be fancy, neither does it necessarily need to be complete (date, current hashrate, BTC holdings, USD holdings, dividend payed, power payed, hardware payed...), one row each day or week or even irregularly I like the one JLP-BMD does for their mining efforts: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsC42HRQbtMHdDdwendjYm1QZHlLbEtQOVZwa1hCbFE&hl=en_USIf you dont like google, maybe use editgrid.com It's really hard to evaluate stuff when you have to extract the info from a bitcointalk thread. |

There is also no rational reason why the USD or the EUR is worth anything either, other than a thinly veiled 'promise' from central banks and nation states. I have made plenty of money on Bitcoins, but please don't try to compare Bitcoin with the USD or the Euro in terms of "why is this worth something". It's a horrible comparison. Right. Better compare it to gold. +100 The exchange of bitcoin for fiat is pointless, we should start exchanging more hard assets, like commodities and bitcoin stocks, with it instead. That comparison is still invalid. There is a fundamental difference here: Gold can never be substituted for something else. There are other metals: platinum, silver. But these are neglegted, while equally suitable for the same function gold is used for. Same as LiteCoin. Gold to Silver like Bitcoin to LiteCoin. |

Nice project. But are you sure that the guy at PMF is really Max Keiser?
Please make sure before you send the funds.
I made pretty sure by asking Richard Bluestein, the director/editor of the film via email: thanks for your quick answer, let me add one more question that was asked by the bitcoin community:
* are you sure it's really THE Max Keiser starring in the film?
he answered Yes it absolutely is.
It says "Max Keiser" in the cast section of the project and Stacy Herbert is, together with Richard, producing: http://www.piratemyfilm.com/projects/291Pease note: I reserved 5 shares of the film on PMF with our funds (don't have to pay at this point). That's the maximum I can reserve. I asked Richard some more questions, he said he couldn't answer them and would ask Max and then get back to me. |

To answer the question in the thread title...we're going all the way down. There simply is no reason for bitcoins to be worth more than a $1, no reason at all. Nagle has been right. When a bubble pops, it pops all the way, and in the case of bitcoin, there's no reason for a legitimate recovery on the horizon.
yawn. |

Hey you gold bugs. I just received a few gram bars in the mail. They are from ebay, and the auction claimed they were from Istanbul Gold Refinery. However, the seal on these is a simple oval with IGR in it instead of the complex design with IAR I see elsewhere. Are these legit, or did I get scammed? If I did, what's my best course of action? Contact the seller and give him the chance to pack up and take the money or chargeback through paypal?  why not check if it's gold. if it is, it's only a "slight" scam, right? |

There hasn't been much hype for Bitcoin lately. Are there any interesting developments to be announced at this conference?
Yes.  I can't wait :-) |
