seems the newbs who posted all nonsense go quiet when the price keeps going up.
mind you when it drops by 5% they will be back talking about how it's going down to 30.
either they are smart or have nothing better do to with their lives

volumes have been extremely LOW.
$2 purchases swing the market a million dollars either way. strange

False

Buying Bitcoin
Amount to spend in USD: $2
Estimated purchase: ฿0.01474313
Slippage: ฿0.0000000

in fact, a million USD would get you ฿7228.77413498
Slippage: ฿136.08077738

and would only take us up $5

i wasn't referring to slippage necessarily.
i was referring to the .01/.02 orders that get executed either direction as a buy or sell just to get the price to change

People tend to believe something that is in writing. If the most current average price of Bitcoin is encoded in the block in a way that is generally regarded as fair, then people would use that price. If exchanges want to trade at a different price, that's fine and will be reflected in the next block. That's the difference between spot price and rolling average which would make Bitcoin more stable on both ends. It is less likely that it will trade with huge price swings if speculators know there is another price mechanism in play besides exchange rates.

as if real currency ever holds it's value. the price swings are just there for now

Zoom out on the time frame for your graph.

LOL tunnel vision syndrome in the house.

im zoom out and then see this:



Which is exactly what virtually all speculative bubbles do. Dot-com bubble, housing bubble, etc all look like that; there is the peak then the drop then the "bounce" back up, then the real drop.

if wrong can you promise to not post for a year?

I've never been wrong on this forum about price direction.

stop posting for a year. thanks

let's keep making 5/10 topics like these a day everytime the price goes up a bit like some crazy members like to do on here

jk
it'll go higher

someone would need to make a platform where people can make donations and disclose who they are (confirming they are US citizens) under the penalty of perjury - i'm sure that this would probably meet the requirements?

No.  It wouldn't.

Political donations are accepted only in those forms of fiat - credit card, personal or business check, bank wire, ACH, & etc. - that have an reasonably uncontestable identity linked to them.

There are websites you can go to that list every non-PAC donation to every politician running for office - by name and address:  and they are gone through very carefully by political volunteers from all parties, looking for wrists to slap.  Remember Keith Olbermann?  Or Ed Schultz?

you may be right - but, that is not full proof that the person giving is THEIR money. so are people unable to donate gold or something? i thought all it required was verification of identity

1392  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do not try and pop the bubble. That's impossible. on: April 26, 2013, 10:00:36 PM
true, noones done beanie babies before, or dot com stocks when it came out, bubble mentality ' noones done this so its going to work', nthis is very entertaining for me, not a question if its going to burst, jsut when

you are so wrong and just looking at your reasoning makes you sound extremely opposite of intelligent.
beanie babies serve absolutely no useful purpose.
.com stocks - most were losing money on every sale.
if you are attempting to sound smart, please don't. people can clearly see you lack ability to think
1393  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: adding passwords to btc protocol on: April 26, 2013, 06:48:55 PM
that's called the private key. if you need more security, you can do multisig transactions.

well what if one day someone does generate the same private key as myself. it is possible right? and with so much theft this can be great deterrent (ie someone stealing a paper wallet or something)
i just thought that instead of just having encrypted wallet.dat that the extra password (self chosen) could be used to secure the private/public key combo in the blockchain. or maybe i make no sense

It would be very difficult to generate the same private key, so difficult that it isn't worth it to worry about that.
[/quote

what about if a paper wallet is stolen or a private key is compromised on a website wouldn't an extra layer of protection be worth it in the long long run?

Why not have them email you with their order number and btc address. Sems like a better way to do this

I think hes trying to do something more on the lines of:

Wow neat shirt (buys)

Then they open and see a $20 cash gift.
But what the hell is bitcoin?

Google:bitcioin

Create wallet
New bitcoin user
profit

ya, he can manually send them bitcoins.. he can put in the voucher inside the orders..
a person who receives the voucher emails him their order number (or voucher number) and whatever bitcoin address they wish to use

1397  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / adding passwords to btc protocol on: April 26, 2013, 06:05:13 PM
not a technical person so pardon my ignorance.

so we have a private key
a public key

would it be possibly to add a password to the btc protocol for validating transactions?
for example the hashed password is stored in the network itself.
so to send something would require private key, public key etc, and a password (like the encrypted wallet.dat)

the only reason i ask is because it may add another level of protection/validation and in the one in a million chance that someone else winds up with your private key they won't be able to use it. would this add extra security to the protocol?
