Well I can tell you who is definitely the worst.  Proudhon.  He screams crash every day for like a year through every rally.  He was finally "right", but I hesitate to say "right" because if he screamed it long enough he was bound to be right eventually.

If one knows the fundamental design of OKCupid one knows that these guys are sharp.  The did their web app entirely in-house using what they claim as 'superior language, code, and framework.'
On one of their job listings they list these technologies: "Ruby, Python, Clojure, Javascript, CoffeeScript, Backbone, HAML, SASS, Rails, Sinatra, Hadoop, MongoDB, Redis, Heroku, AWS, and more"

It does seem like it runs pretty well, and they have a sense of humor at every corner.

I signed up on okcupid today just because of this news  Kiss

Nice update, like the red/green "shadows" on the price line.

Have you seen this?  https://github.com/ahihi/goxsh
I've been using an older version of it forever.  Decided to use it as my baseline to create a similar app for BTC-E trading.
186  Economy / Speculation / Re: Up or Down on: April 16, 2013, 05:44:00 AM
I was waiting for a crash with only USD in my account when it went over $200.  I bought hard all the way down in $50 increments.  Waiting for $200+ to profit big, otherwise I have not "realized" any losses.
187  Economy / Speculation / Re: brace yourselves on: April 13, 2013, 03:54:41 AM


Definitely not smart to buy until this restabilzes.
Do you realize the chart starts to "roll-up" and average out?  The wild swings are just more granular data since you had the page open.
188  Economy / Speculation / Re: GoxLag + Selloff! on: April 10, 2013, 05:05:53 PM
This is the worse selloff I've ever seen in the btc market.
You haven't been around very long, right?  You should have seen last year.  This is nothing.

lol. some of you forum guys are just so special.

yea its surely much more likely that hes a huge, super rich player manipulating the market... than he just made a call for whatever reason and was right.

jeez.. maybe learn to accept he was right and you were wrong about something? then perhaps one day you'll make it as a trader (hint: successful traders are often wrong and yet they are rich, internet warriors are never wrong and they are poor)  Grin
lol.  some of you forums guys are just so special.

Our market is super tiny compared to the global forex market.  All it takes is one guy who is used to trading 10 times as much elsewhere to come into our market and "experiment" a little.

I would say that OP planned on manipulating the market today with a robot or just large reserves, and it's working a little bit.  I'll check back in this thread if it goes above $20.

Yes, you got it right.  Weird, right?  My only guess so far, from 15 years of experience overclocking, watercooling, messing with HSF's and such is that when you run a device at 70-80C for long periods of time the TIM either changes its properties or gets so thin that it "squeezes" out slightly and when the chip cools and contracts it lets some sort of micro gaps form and you get hot spots which crashes the "chip".  That is just a guess, though.  Now that I think about it that doesn't make much sense because the only reason it should crash is if you see the die temp get too hot...  Maybe I have worn the transistors out from all the heat/current and they only run right when there is full power flowing through them (or more specifically-full voltage, seeing as modern chips vary the voltage automatically with clock speed)?  Here is an up to date article that explains what I learned a few years ago about how transistors wear out: http://spectrum.ieee.org/semiconductors/processors/transistor-aging/0

I'm on my 3rd power supply.  This one is an 80plus Gold OCZ 850W and I only pull about 550W.
193  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Interesting Load Observation on: September 29, 2012, 09:17:22 PM
I mine with 3 GPU's and mine LTC on my CPU.  All 4 devices are overclocked to the edge of stability.  After mining on the GPU's for about a year, and on the CPU for a couple months, I noticed something interesting albeit annoying.  If I kill my mining programs, and thus reduce the load on my hardware to ~0, my computer will crash consistently in 5-15 minutes.  I can reproduce this over and over.  It's almost like I have conditioned the hardware and/or cooling solutions (possibly cooked the thermal interface material a certain way?) to only work under 100% load and high heat.  It is also independent for the GPU's and the CPU, so for example if I just kill the LTC mining on the CPU I will crash in 5-15 minutes, and vice versa.

Anyone else have this phenomena happen to their hardware?

So what you're saying is you placed a large buy order below $1.00?  K.
195  Other / Off-topic / Re: Looking for powerful dual monitor Linux Workstation. on: August 19, 2012, 05:37:15 PM
Unfortunately Windows 7 and 8 have infinitely better control over multimonitor setups.  I have amassed an awesome 4 monitor setup over the years and I decided to try daily driving Ubuntu again.  I could NOT get my monitors setup up right.  Oh, this is with ATI cards, btw.  I gave it weeks of fiddling with configs, proprietary drivers and software packages, research on forums, etc.  I tried 3 different releases of Ubuntu.  After all that I just gave up realized it just wasn't possible to do a nice multimonitor setup in Ubuntu.  I went to Windows 8 and in 2 minutes I had all 4 monitors configured exactly how I wanted them.  I've been using Linux since the late 90's and this is just one thing they seem to never have gotten right.
196  Economy / Speculation / Re: 3600 BTC Transfers on bitcoinmonitor.com on: August 19, 2012, 03:45:00 PM
I'm guessing it is a service that has been around for a while.  I see threads like this every once in a while and somebody will come in and go "oh yeah, b*****.com does that to transfer the coins around".
197  Economy / Speculation / Re: The shakedown on: August 17, 2012, 07:55:50 PM
I never exchanged a Bitcoin for fiat in my life and don't plan to start now.
Then why are you in the speculation forum?
198  Economy / Speculation / Re: Under 12 before Sunday. on: August 17, 2012, 07:13:09 PM
The market usually does the opposite of big predictions like this, so hopefully more people keep predicting a crash due to the Pirate thing.  It's already been predicted in several other threads, so let's go!  Rally!..er, I mean, crash!
199  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Danger Zone on: August 17, 2012, 07:00:35 PM
I'm trying to stay ice cold in the heat of this danger zone.

Nice color scheme.
