Update : Now it is signed by Verisign -- it was briefly signed by 'British Telecom' -- which was untrusted. I have a .PNG of this if anyone wants to see it.
Are you on BT Broadband, or using one of their hotspots? Because you probably got redirected to their "You ran out of money, top up your internet!" or "Uh oh! Your router disconnected, please wait until we're back online" pages. |

Rereading it again, it just seems like all one would have to do is just make a "timed" rawtx be sent out (which could be cancelled) . ALl you would have to do now is push one of the Bitcoin GUI devs to add that in, nothing needs to be done to the Bitcoin network or protocal logic it self at all.
That could also just be easily scripted, I mean people could always buy a rasp pi and stick this "timed offline wallet" script on it. There's also the issue of... if the "hacker" can send that transaction, can't they also cancel your transactions? |

Be a bit more specific, is this going to be a web game, an actual client only on windows? multi-platform client? and also which programming language you'd like it in, so that you can attract the right kind of "programmers". All payments will be sent by USD.
Why not bitcoins?  Haha, are you serious? Nobody could say, by the time the work was complete, if the BTC would be $30 or $300. USD makes sense. Well, if they were paid in Bitcoins... at the current Gox price etc. I'd guess that'd be appropriate. |

The drops we are seeing are because the major exchanges are being pushed off line by script kiddies executing DDOS attacks in the hopes of triggering a panic sell.
It seems to be working and the people who don't understand the fundamentals of bitcoin (most of them) assume that because the exchange was offline for a bit and perhaps the value dropped a bit that if they don't cash out right now, they're going to lose their shirt.
This starts a cascade of frightened people willing to take a certain loss now in exchange for not taking an uncertain loss later. In otherwords these people are attempting to buy confidence that they had suddenly lost and they're willing to buy it at ANY price. The script kiddies wait a bit for the price to finish bottoming out, then start buying bitcoins up to sell at a profit before they launch their next attack and drop the price again. They're mining the exchanges.
The sad thing is, it's hard to avoid this when exchanges just suddenly stop working properly, I wasn't able to sell at $250, and then it took me a long time just to get my funds out of Gox and into the safe-haven of BTC-e, by then I was pretty much broke, I played the market a little and now I have more coins than I started with originally, but the price is still a lot lower so I'm still at a loss. Now that Bitcoin is so big, there's also a lot of people with too much money and no intelligence, e.g. some "big traders" actually listen to that horrid trollbox on BTC-e which screws the price up as it is, and causes more ridiculous drops and falls. This drop itself has also given people more reason to panic sell, I mean anyone who just held on for most of the drop (like me), and hoped it went back up, now only has 20% of what they had at $250, which is a huge loss, which pretty much shows a lot of people that if they don't jump in with the panic sellers in time, they're capable of losing a damn lot of money. (Which reminds me, someone really needs to talk to the exchanges about techniques for avoiding a DOS attack or at least mitigating it. Getting knocked offline so many times I've actually been able to research and develop this idea, is starting to be a bit beyond a joke.)
At the most, MtGOX relies on Prolexic to keep them safe from DDoS attacks, which obviously isn't enough as we've seen plenty of lag and downtime. |

Well, bitstamp has been slow for the past few days anyway, I've seen plenty of cloudflare unavailable messages from their site =_=

$110
Guess you're the winner, as it's now 12:13 AM UTC - I'm going to bed right now since it's past 1 AM here in the UK, and since Gox isn't open yet, I suppose the payment can wait til tomorrow until we get a reasonable BTC price. |

Does this come with hosting/code for the URL shortener service? I'd probably do something a bit different anyways, but I noticed that was on there.
Right now it's "rented" out to someone, so I don't own that code or hosting to sell. This only includes the domain. |

Just 5 hours to go, let's see what happens.

Pretty tempting. I'd love to have a domain that short. I kinda wonder what it could stand for...
save.good
supervery.gooddog
Site for SV650 fans?
SellsVery.GoodDice
You could almost open up a sub-TLD (or something class TLD? I forgot the exact term) using one like that.
Yep, short domains like this are great... especially when the 2 letter domain namespace is running really low for .gd's |

I think you got your baseline wrong, if you ask me the blip at the end isn't below the trend its the suckers rally.
Yeah the mean line is pretty awful, I did it in MSPaint  Should've probably aimed a lot lower at the end aswell. |

 Their graph maps onto our bitcoinity graph perfectly  |

Another exchange doesn't solve the problem that is inherent in the system architecture.
The only thing that solves the Mtgox problem is a decentralized exchange. And that's gotta be an open-source endevour.
I wonder what's keeping people... I mean there is ripple, sort-of, and there's also bitcoin-otc. |

It only display 1 GPU - 7970 but no onboard vga, and i cant change voltage, core/mem clock, fan even though GPU-Z detected both.
Your on-board likely can't be overclocked. They aren't designed for that, especially when a lot of them don't even have heat-sinks |

Well because I suck at trading, I lost 50% from stupid moves. (went from $800 to $500)

- A good description of the back-end to architecture. Opens-source if possible. I think the pro's outweigh the con's, but it is debatable.
IIRC this is based on some code I did a while back which is public domain, they listed it on the about page: https://github.com/g2x3k/litecoin-instawallet-simple |

As far as I can tell, it's possible to change the delivery address at Avalon, so the device will be directly delivered to you.
Nope. http://store.avalon-asics.com/No Address Change - Unless it is a special case no address change will be allowed, please allocate time correctly to handle the delivery of these units, There has been too many people attempting to sell these units and changing their shipping address. You can choose what to do with them after you receive them, but whilst they are still in our hands they will go to the address the order was originally intended for.

Damn, I used to used USD codes quite a bit to pay people when the price was so damn volatile like now; oh well, guess it's back to BTC and BTC Codes.

'cause I can like myself a strongly pseudonymous, online wallet that is sufficiently feature-rich...So come on, AMAZE ME.
The only feature I see that instawallet didn't have, is the ability to password your wallet. Also I don't even know if these guys charge fee's, they don't mention it anywhere on their site, so that could be a plus if there isn't a fee. |
