Am I the only one who is unable to place a successful buy order? My order says "pending", and the current value is already less than the price I put. Cancel button doesn't seem to respond.

Use a decimal type of which you explicitly set the precision to whatever required.
Don't confuse floats with decimals, they are completely different, a float is by definition an approximation, a decimal stores an exact value. +1 I use only decimals, and bcmath in php will ensure correct calculations. I might note that in my experience shows any decimal math especially bcmath will result in fun explanations to your customers.... Why? It is 100% accurate as long as you have enough decimals. Probably the way binary is done(hint). Binary doesn’t know a "decimal" and computers(CPU) can only "auto" guess the required precision or their calculations could take as long as infinity to compute(hence why we have a math symbol for repeating decimals...) thus most "Test" cases will look like its working correctly but it will break at some point. BCMath uses arbitrary precision and will never fail as long as you round and use a big enough scale. If you think otherwise I would love to see proof / example of how it can fail. |

so, how do they keep the chargebacks low? By limiting the amount one can deposit, not having instant withdraw. Honest/longterm customers can enjoy higher limits building a steady amount of "no-risk" transactions. |

I'm just posting here so we can remember this post on the 500th page when bitcoin is worth $500  |

Oh okay... so if people in north korea don't like how the country is run they can just move. Makes sense, except from that part where they are being shot while crossing the border. But hey, if they don't like getting shot in the back while moving they will always have the FREEDOM to shut the fuck up and do as they're told. First you didn't like the law, then you visited gays in Iran, next you jump to North Korea. Seems like you're one of these guys that discuss just for the sake of discussing. I really don't have anything more to add. We all know what's north korea is like.. This is a typical Ad Hominem attack often used when pushed into a corner where one is unable to defend ones illogical position. I just demostrated very clearly by showing you a concrete, real world example of a place where you are not allowed to just "move", this invalidates all your previous arguments and if you are looking for a serious discussion you need to address this flaw in your reasoning before you can continue. |

Can anyone explain to me what this BET was? I've been gone for a while.. seems like I missed something.  There was this ponzi scheme ran by some guy who went under the name pirateat40... things were falling apart (like they always do in the end with ponzi schemes) and then matthew all of sudden makes a bet: pirate will pay all he has promised. The bet condition was 100% match, so if you bet 10 btc you'll get 10 btc, if you lose you'll lose 10 btc. He had set the maximum amount of bets to 10k BTC and after reaching this amount he would close for bets. There was a lot of speculation as to why he did this, I personally started out thinking he was just nuts and actually believed pirate would pay. Although sceptical I figured he could have 10k... based on his history he didn't strike me as a scammer... Then what happended is people started to hedge by buying up pirate debt bonds and betting etc... Anyways time dragged on and it became more and more obvious pirate would never pay... at this point matthew just blew his limit and decided to take in massive amounts of silly bets until the amount reached 80k + BTC. ....And then the date came, where he lost the bet. People felt cheated... he left after this long rant only to return a few months later... As far as I know he hasn't paid anyone yet, guess time will tell if there is any integrity in matthew or just empty words. |

What if one does not believe the law holds any legitimacy?
Surely, if you think the law doesn't hold any legitimacy, then do whatever you think is right, but if you would do something that conflict with what's legal, then you have to be a man enough to face the consequences.So those who happens to be gay in Iran should be "man" enough to have their head cut of ? For instance if somebody scammed you of 5K BTC, and you think that the police and legal system is something that you do not care about, and will not use, and then you proceed to beat the crap out of said scammer singlehandedly or with the help of some thugs, don't be surprised if it's you that end up in jail.
I'm not defending the current system, condoning it, neither am I condoning that you commit acts of violence, the only thing I am saying is that you need to pay attention to reality, and reality is that if you do something that's considered illegal, you may face consequences.
Who said I would be doing something illegal? You're stretching it - but okay. In some countries, being an atheist is a crime. Then you just disguise yourself as a christian whatever, and shut your mouth. You could of course try to change the laws, and take all the heat that comes with that. As for being gay in Iran, moving from that country would be a great option, as living somewhere where the leaders tell you that you cannot be who you were born to be, is kind of idiotic. So you either move, or keep shut about it. If you go openly about it, and it's against the law, then face the consequences. That's reality, even if it is wrong. For the last statement, I didn't know this discussion was about you. As for how to get money back, I'm sure there are many people with good ideas. Oh okay... so if people in north korea don't like how the country is run they can just move. Makes sense, except from that part where they are being shot while crossing the border. But hey, if they don't like getting shot in the back while moving they will always have the FREEDOM to shut the fuck up and do as they're told. |

Then those who think that all this betting business holds legitimacy should run Matthew to a court of law. What if one does not believe the law holds any legitimacy? So - sue or shut up! Even silence speaks |

Great news... I like Stefan, I just wish he didn't have to delete videos and podcasts all the time, like the bitcoin interview. Hopefully someone is saving stuff before it's deleted because I have not been able to keep up with it.

So much drama here - when I was a kid we used to say, "Money talks, bullsh*t walks".
We need secure BTC escrow services - then we'll never have to endure these 40-page docu-dramas...
+1 for money talks bullshit walks... |

Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, however I thought the Blink 04 magazine had a great issue on bitcoin, worth checking out: http://blink.li/current-issue |
