1161  Economy / Economics / Re: is it possible to block the MtGox exchange? on: April 23, 2011, 01:06:43 PM
is it? to lock the prices?

if you had many btc(say 10000btc) and you where buying at 1.35 and selling at 1.4. would you lock the market between 1.35 and 1.4? becuse every time some one bouht some coins, and there was't any asking below 1.4, you would gain some profit and the blocking would be bigger...

it that possible?

As soon as the market would move into one direction (many buying or many selling) the "lock" would overflow and the market would break out of the "lock". The only thing it would do is delay a upward or downward trend.

I'm a happy user of the perspectives system, works like a charm, although I think there should be many more notaries.

My experience is that you can get some decent speed with tor these times.
well it was about a half-year time since last a used it, back then i got a max speed of 40kb/s now its 200kb/s. a great improvement! Cheesy

That could be caused by bitcoin:

Oh I'd love to have some for my garden, do you have some more?
Shipping would be again to switzerland :-)

Sure, PM me your address and I'll give you a bitcoin address. They will be send today (although it will take some time to arrive, because of the Easter holiday).

[edit]
Please not that I wrote ~1 gram, the balance I use is not really accurate, but you should get enough coriander from these seeds to cook with.

Taken!
Shipment for Switzerland-
3BTC for 1 gram of seeds, correct?


Yes, 3 BTC for about 1 gram (~100 seeds)
Ok, lets see how this goes.

I have a few grams of Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) seeds left from last years harvest. I've germinated a bit from this batch and the plants are already growing on my balcony. Having a few grams left I decided to offer them for sale.

I send about 1 gram of seeds through mail (I'll put them in a padded envelope, but I can't give a guarantee that they will arrive undamaged).

Costs 3BTC for the seeds + postage costs (depending on where they have to go, but at current price max. 2BTC).
Seeds are send from The Netherlands.

If I've lived in the USA I would have bought some.

Not heard of that yet.
You could use a proxy, or Free VPN trial at mullvad.net in the meantime-
im using a proxy, but im not felling safe with it Sad the proxy can read my password.

Install a tor proxy, connect with MtGox through https with that. Should be safe.
i will do that. Smiley but tor are offen SLOW. the best solution would be just to be unbanned.

My experience is that you can get some decent speed with tor these times.

With bitcoins you hold them on your usb disk in a safe somewhere, ok fair enough, but nobody gets to use them (for a price).

Makes me think if these bearer bonds that you see on biddingpond are going to fill this niche.
1171  Other / Off-topic / Re: Euro Parity on: April 23, 2011, 08:10:59 AM
Or have USD to drop in value Wink

People who sold early. Long term outlook is $2 to $2.3, you can still buy. Or wait until people notice they can't do anything (except buying , now expensive, socks) with it at the moment and start selling it.

I wonder how much this rise damages the trade from merchants (people will most likely wait until they adjusted their prices).

Wasn't there code to hook off old clients from the network?

I guess you'll find more info in the logs.

Sunday and Monday, but today (Good Friday) is also a bank holiday for many.

Is there a clear fee schedule for SEPA transfers?

My bank handles the following criteria for the free euro transactions (these are the EC criteria):
- Transactions in EUR
- Max. 50 000 EUR transaction
- Within EURO zone +Norway, Iceland and Lichtenstein
1176  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin a scam? on: April 20, 2011, 05:38:15 AM
Does it brute some hashes to get passwords or something?

Well, actually yes. It does. If you get a hit to a difficult challenge, you get the bitcoins.
The network doesn't want more or less then 6 blocks an hour, so it balances the difficulty to get that.

Wonder if it could be implemented as a "theme"... Then you don't need a fork.
1178  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Amount of coins to repay to faucet on: April 20, 2011, 05:26:21 AM
Why do you need a poll? Can't think for yourself (or no morality)?

You should pay back the 40BTC you got by abusing good intentions of people. People donated to the faucet to help bitcoin grow by showing how it works. By your actions you counteracted that, causing people that might be interested not being able to look further into how it works.

Due to your abusing Gavin has to invest time and put up barriers to prevent your type of abuse.

So, shame on you. Pay back the 40BTC (I think everybody should send back what they got from it) and if you can spare some extra send it also that way.

He came forward and fessed up which takes more character than just running off.


Sure, but that does not make him a hero. He didn't have to step forward with it, just send it back to the faucet. To me it now looks like some attempt to boost his personality within the community (aka, "Hey, look me. I did a misstep, but going to fix it. Now I'm cool, right?"). My post was more to let him think of the consequences of doing such things and that he learns from it (hope that it prevents him to do it some place or to someone else again). We've seen numerous cases of people not being honest and I think that most would not think about consequences. With that post I hope more people (those who didn't step forward) will think of what they did and send the btc back to the faucet.

To me someone who has a real shame should not be bragging about it (hence the word "shame"), but should just put everything in fixing what they did.

I'm working on a python lib that (hopefully) will provide an uniform interface to the major exchanges.
Currently only MtGox (mostly untested) is in there. I started coding it on last Sunday.

One other issue I see is that money might accumulate at one exchange, while needed on an other one.
Might take a week to get it from one exchange to another.
