Ditto. Promising project and it will be a real shame.

Woke up to find my $550 order got filled on Stamp. Looks like I somehow got lucky as the bottom of the candle seems to be around $560.
Any thoughts on volume? Was that our bottom?

Fonzie et al need not reply; I already know what you're going to say.

I wondered about a 540 retest a while back, but assumed we were past that now. As I recall, 620 was also pretty critical on the way down and appears to be sticky now too.

Ah! It's clicked. I know why you're called Aminorex.
Don't worry, I promise I won't tell.

Well, there's your answer, Parazyd. Though I'm still uncertain about monkey's identity. I'm pretty much 50/50 on it being Aminorex's subconscious vs a Person of Interest, SkyNet-like Machine somewhere that's gradually learning to analyse its creators' financial systems.

Alternatively, I guess it could simply be a really unusual monkey.

"The unexpected very rarely happens. But when it does, it happens when you least expect it." Really wish I could find a source for that quote.

Exciting things seem to happen after a patch of low volume. I'll take a shot in the dark and say the recent move on moderate volume doesn't qualify us for that just yet.

A big fat arb, at last?

BBC Technology page on the Expedia story: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-27810008

What's interesting is
1) that the narrative has changed from uncertainty to a cautious assumption that Bitcoin will become a part of everyday life: "But, the digital currency took another step closer to the mainstream this week, with both Google and Yahoo adding its conversion price to its financial tools. More than 60,000 online retailers now accept bitcoins worldwide."

2) Even the great BBC don't really know what they're talking about and have to rely on others to tell them what to think. This line was obviously taken from a piece a good few months ago that no one bothered to check/update, presumably because they don't understand it and aren't keeping up with it: "There are currently about 11 million bitcoins in existence."

Wow.

I wonder what they will say when the MGW goes live.

The alternative is that it's one whale continually selling for reasons unknown to the rest of us. Someone earlier in the thread suggested it was one seller. I don't know how you establish that, or why the arb bots aren't taking care of the gap.
Some people have said it's easy to get money out but not in, without the rubber glove treatment. I guess that might incentivise a few to buy elsewhere and go to Stamp to cash out.
None of these explanations are really satisfactory to me, though. But insolvency does not fit either.

Rather than this suggesting Stamp's insolvency/Goxxery, it suggests that Stamp has temporarily become the go-to exchange for cashing out coins. People are buying/trading elsewhere and selling/withdrawing on Stamp. Curious. That suggests somewhere else is experiencing fiat withdrawal issues. Another round of Chinese games to come?

Still awaiting epic Bithaus announcements...

Heh. Guess he must be pretty angry with the board to follow through on it.

200k on Stamp would have an effect like 9 billion Ripples being dumped.
No one would be that dumb.

Nice thought, but I don't buy it. Surely some interest would have filtered through to Stamp rather than backing up on Coinbase?

Well, looks like an exciting day ahead with PayExpo and apparently some big announcements from Bithaus too. I'm hoping I can catch the highlights here so I don't waste a whole day at work trawling the forums for latest developments...

EDIT: has a thread for live updates been agreed?


Damelon is definitely the unsung hero of these videos, spending hours knocking the scripts around with me and d13id but without pay. Not sure whether the address in his NXTforum profile (18229868146885750725) is his own or a community funds one, though.

Oh COME ON. Did you not watch The Matrix?
