I keep on hearing bad things about Cryptsy. I used it before many times, but I'm not sure. People also use Bter and DGEX to buy NXT. Which one, or another option, is better and safer?
I am waiting for my NXT withdrawal from Cryptsy, it's been 5 days. People have been reporting A LOT of problems with Cryptsy lately. The consensus is: avoid. DGEX seems to work ok but the interface is clunky and cashouts may be slow/cost you depending on currency and circumstances. BTER has worked ok for me but others have had problems - I think with delays and withdrawal costs. In short, it's not nearly as easy to get a hold of NXT as it is most other bitcoin-based cryptos. That sounds quite negative, but it's actually the reverse. New exchanges are coming online, NXT is being added to existing ones, and there will soon be fiat exchanges for NXT. NXT has already achieved a huge amount and has outstanding tech and developers. One of the bottlenecks to adoption is viable exchanges, and that's about to change. |

I assume you guys have heard the news that BITFINEX is adding DRK?
I can't believe any exchange would want to associate themselves with an anonymous coin, but get it while its hot.
I am officially bullish on DRK.
seriously? after the forks? i can't find an offical announcement, can you point me? Look at the DRK thread. Go to Bitfinex. There are screen shots and I have confirmed. Its not live yet, but they are setting it up as we speak. HUGE drk pump (55%). Soon to be followed by huge short? |

I think d13id did that one. Not sure who else worked on it. It was before my time. |

Anyone know why I'm getting "Invalid account id" when I try to register an Alias?
I've tried both numeric and R-S formats.

Apenzl, you do a really great job with this, continually impressed with every newsletter. This is the standard for effective communication and marketing of Nxt, and it's a great source of information for those involved with Nxt who aren't able to follow everything. +1 Good job and very useful. You also quoted me, which I like. |

Haha, this is a glowing endorsement.  Yeah, can't quite say I read it as promoting NXT... |

Pbblllt. There seems to be only one native English speaker on this thread and that person is me.
Strictly speaking the verb "to be" takes a nominative complement: "...that person is I." Any native English speaker would surely be aware of this convention. |

The news that Dish Network is taking Bitcoin is getting some major press: ABC News, Wall Street Journal, Time, Washington Post. It is always great to get press like this and tends to cause more people to look into Bitcoin.  You know what that means. Good news = dump. Late last year, it could have been announced on reddit that some ma and pa cupcake store had decided to accept bitcoin and it would instantly rocket the price up $50. Now we have Dish Network -- which will be the largest single company to accept it -- and zero reaction. So it seems we've been a bit premature to assume that we've broken the bear market with last week's breakout. I agree with others that we're going to "consolidate" a bit more before going up again next month. Quite possible, but wouldn't there necessarily be a lag anyway? |

I do believe he was trolling  Anyway, I sent a PM to the OP. If you don't like my rate then I understand, it's a take it or leave it offer. Little bit  But that was already obvious to him from my sig, where there are more than enough hints, as well as sample articles, endorsements and suggestions for sensible rates of pay. |

How did Jorge convert to a newbie? Are there two Jorge accounts by the same person /bot or by different peeps/bots?
There's real Jorge and fake Jorge. Fake Jorge is far more entertaining. Bitcoin magic, or a bug in the blockchain Slight spelling difference.... Stofli vs Stolfi A fork? |

I just bought my first bitcoin. Exciting. Could some please share the actual S.R. 2.0 link. Thanks.
I really like what you did there. That newbie is not me. The Bitcoin Goddess is NOT PLEASED. Guess what She does when She is not pleased. Yes, Jorge, I'm well aware of that. I thought it was a good joke, is all. Look, the thing is that although you make some useful points, and you are consistently polite in doing so, you are becoming increasingly strident. The fact that you very selectively choose what to argue - and a lot of people have made some very good points against some of your mistaken assumptions recently - means that it's not really worth engaging with you. Literally no point, because you appear to ignore anything that doesn't fit with what you already believe and move on. That, unfortunately, effectively makes you a very polite troll. And I mean troll in its proper web-forum sense here, not just 'someone who doesn't agree with you'. Something about a pot and a kettle. You're suggesting that I'm a very polite troll? That would be an odd thing to say. I am not suggesting you are a troll, it is just that you accuse Jorge of doing exactly that, which most pro-bitcoiners do.(read text in bold) Ahh. Right. I'm not sure it's an entirely apt comparison, but I think we've spent enough time discussing Jorge. EDIT: I guess that could be called selective arguing. So be it. I'm a big polite troll. p0peji has a point. 'Selective arguing' is just as common (if not more) among the Bitcoin optimists in here as it is with the pessimists. The difference is context: this is a forum of people that, by and large, are (or at least once were) excited about Bitcoin. So the difference between 'troll' and 'not troll' is not whether you argue selectively, but if you do so in a context that puts you at odds with the majority of the other participants. The other difference is intention. To be really called a troll, your goal has to be to get a rise out of the majority of those who hold an opinion contrary to yours. I'd say point 1 applies to Jorge, but point 2 doesn't. I don't really believe his goal posting here is to incite anger (although he's probably amused by the reactions to a degree). I've said it before, but I think he actually has the misguided belief that he somehow has to convince us of the error of our ways. This is fair enough: selective arguing goes both ways. Glossing over that, selectively, I've been picking up a little more of 2) in the Prof's posts recently. I can't blame him, since he takes a lot of heat here. But I can not engage with him any more. Either one of those is good reason not to waste your time with someone. |

And I mean troll in its proper web-forum sense here, not just 'someone who doesn't agree with you'. Thanks, Cassius. Nearly 100% my own sentiment (although I hesitate to put a "very polite troll" into the same mental category as a regular, barely intelligible, run-of-the-mill troll... but that's a matter of taste I admit). Please note the unnecessary highlighted parts that I especially agree with  It is a shame. But then, I don't think the Speculation thread is the right place for Jorge, anyway. |

Great I go away for a little while and come back to this? This thread has gone to shit! It's the wall observer thread people. I'm not sure what this Stolfi character has to do with the current movement of bitcoin price (Hint: it's nothing), nor why we don;t ban an account whos eonly input to this thread has been the same post repeated every hour or so, claiming a mythical pump and dump.
Yeah, damn ChartBuddy. Change your tune or it's welcome to my ignore list. |

I remember people saying something similar when something called 'the Internet' started to gain momentary popularity in the late 90s.
Did they? Lots of stupid things were said about the internet back then, but scamming was not as big a problem for the internet as it is in the bitcoin world. Perhaps because it was mostly classical scams (such as chain letters and credit card theft) that the police already knew how to recognize and handle. One big "advantage" of bitcoin is that law and police often cannot even tell whether a crime was committed. You are as selective in the points you answer as the information about bitcoin you choose to accept or ignore. |
