Anyone remembers the 8K order before $31.9 is breached?
1722  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer - MtGoxUSD wall movement tracker on: March 30, 2013, 02:24:52 AM
See the Gox lag when the price spikes up? They just suck at it, there is no conspiracy.

Interesting to get a view from outside of this 'slightly biased' forum Wink



A notoriously cynical cohort, the numbers back that up. Interesting that in a 'geek' crowd there are still 12% of people who havent even heard of it!, and a huge 32% just don't even care!

One interpretation: Those nooby kiddies whose 1337 e-peens are not even half as long as mine(I have been developing on *N*X/PDP-11/VMS ever since ****, you know, you know?) get filthy rich with this fucking bitcoin! So it must be a Ponzi scheme/bunch of scammers!

And, this comes from the Bitcoin Wiki page: "The IP addresses of most users are totally public. You can use Tor to hide this, but the network won't work if everyone does this. BitCoin requires that some country is still free."

Let me put it this way freequant... Let's say that someone knew all your individual positions and understood exactly how you trade. Could they take money out of your pockets?
Probably, but that makes a lot of unlikely conditions.

I am talking about the power of an omniscient trader, someone covertly plugged in to an exchange, capable of spearfishing you. Then like a sniper, picking off traders in droves.

That would more likely affect the exchange's popularity than Bitcoin itself.

True, but a government with enough reach could compromise as many exchanges as they wish. The questions being, "what could a government do?". My suggestion being, they could attack an exchange in this manner, particularly a de facto centralized exchange.

The Bitcoin 2.0 that you speak of would have to solve this problem.

There are other ways to do trading than using a website, besides, it's not difficult to catch governments red-handed if they do commit suck attacks, which will trun out to be a PR disaster for them, see, e.g., the Chinese hacking incident.

You know what? This is probably the only long-term serious analysis thread on this subforum right now. Cheesy

Look at the shape of the curve within the red rectangle, what do you see? A CAT!!! What does it mean? It means that the price is undergoing a dead cat bounce, so SELL! SELL! SELL!
1728  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer - MtGoxUSD wall movement tracker on: March 29, 2013, 01:47:30 PM
Of course we're going down.  Look at the tasty depth on the bid side.  Tons of USD available to buy -- ~$1.5m above $80.

at least you got your currency pair the correct way around Wink

I'm selling some USD.


Proudhon's skills are getting honed. It's down to the point that the very second he posts a bearish post, the market rebounds  Grin

It's called a reverse Midas touch.

Nah, I am fine with doing away with Mt.Gox. But I recall you saying buying a dedicated link from them, so the plan has changed? Also would you clarify what "add other exchanges" is all about? That sounds quite interesting. Smiley

tl;dr OP paid a bank to protect his assets from theft, he is a customer, not a creditor of the said bank, the bank took his payment then steal the assets themselves.

Wrong. In both cases he's a creditor.

Legally yes, and that's essentially what allows the bank to back-stab him like that. What's also ironical is that the law imposes such restrictions is called the "Capital Control Law".

1732  Economy / Speculation / Re: The coming change at mtGox and its implications on: March 29, 2013, 10:00:59 AM
We need to pay attention especially to a rapid price movement scenario, when people will be trying to issue orders desperately, and may never bother to check on their balances, and Gox's UI irresponsiveness only adds salt to the injury, as people will try to issue more orders when they can't see their orders showing on the list. The more orders people issue, the greater the lag, which would make people more anxious and making more vain efforts, which in turn causes even more lag. This vicious closed-feedback loop causes the ridiculous 10-minutes lag we saw on a weekly basis.
1733  Economy / Speculation / Re: The coming change at mtGox and its implications on: March 29, 2013, 09:52:12 AM
Does this have anything to do with the original requirement of a card trading exchange?
1734  Economy / Speculation / Re: The coming change at mtGox and its implications on: March 29, 2013, 09:43:30 AM
If I just did a calculation with my ass, it's gonna make the complexity roughly O(m*log(n)) instead of O(log(n)), and m could be easily larger than log(n).

I suspect there are many badly-programmed bots relying on this out there.
1735  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [BETA]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading on: March 29, 2013, 09:38:16 AM
I'm new with bitfinex for now, but anyone care to tell me why my lending offers (in USD) are deleted 5 minutes after i put them?

Edit: I tried variable rate, activated auto-renew and auto-lend. I already managed to lend 30$ yesterday, but it seems like a bug today.

What did you mean by "deleted"? Was it already lended out or just shown on the list of loans available?
1736  Economy / Speculation / Re: How does it feel to have sold < $80 today? on: March 29, 2013, 09:29:44 AM


I don't know!  I never sell!




I don't know!  I only buy!

I don't know, I go leveraged long on these dips, then buy bitcoins with my extra fiats.

At what point will you publicly concede defeat Proudhon, if there ever will be one?
1738  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [BETA]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading on: March 29, 2013, 06:25:22 AM
So is it true that I can no longer route my order to Gox manually?
1739  Economy / Speculation / Re: This panic is even more bullish than the last few on: March 29, 2013, 06:05:34 AM
Hourly EMA10/21 about to cross.
1740  Economy / Speculation / Re: This panic is even more bullish than the last few on: March 29, 2013, 04:38:14 AM


Observe that while the last few dropped the price by ~30% from its ATH at the time and hit the EMA(21) solidly, this one only managed to hit the EMA(10) and did not manage to drop even as much as 25%.  With record bids ($10M!) and a rapid rebound, I'm pretty sure that we're going to hit $100 soon.

Two-hour EMA10 and EMA21 failed to cross, half-hour ones have crossed back already,the only EMA 10 remaining under EMA 21 is the hourly one. The plunge also failed to breach hourly SMA 200, unlike in previous crashes.

There you have it, I'm pretty sure we have 5 TA reasons now, let's start a "Ready for the Running of the Bulls?" thread Grin

There is no need to encourage that.  We have more than enough inflated bulls already (inflated heads).

I disagree. I think we have just an over supply of deflated bears which makes it look like there is more than enough inflated bulls.
 Roll Eyes

We'll see more and more of them, their number will be directly proportional to the bitcoin price.
