GoCoin supports both btc and ltc.

how do they plan on doing backups?

That's the best one so far. but i think you will have legal problems from both BitPay and eBay.

I am looking for sponsors to advertise on TradeList for .1 BTC/month for a 200x75 logo w/ link back to your site.
The site gets on average 200 visits per day (with occassional spikes of 1,000+/day), there are usually 50-70 concurrent users at any given time.

That's true it would be a waste of money if people try to use Bitcoin-QT

We Accept Bitcoin

Anything is doable if you have the money. That would be a great way to start 2014 with a Bitcoin super bowl commercial. Somene should start a fund to make this happen.

Let's get a professional advertising firm too...not some moron with a billboard + QR code and nothign else.

How exactly is it a scam? Not that I'm doubting you, just want to know what happened to make you think it was a scam.

as soon as Visa gets wind of this, it will be all over.

i'm looking for huobi.com api as well...

its no different than a stock doing a split or a reverse split to make it more user friendly.

its too difficult to do the simple math in your head when you have a bunch of leading zeros. When 1mbtc =~ 1 USD its pretty simple to know what your paying.

...add to that a $800 credit card bill for christmas...and they aren't in a hurry to spend another $800 on bitcoin.

I have several. I figure why not put a few bucks in now while its still cheap and hope one of them takes off.

I check coinmarketcap.com and cryptocoincharts.info regularly. Also, crypsty.com is probably the leading exchange for altcoins w/ the most coins. Btc-e.com is good for the ones you mentioned (but watchout, nobody knows who runs this site, and could disappear at a moments notice). You can also check your profit on a trade in realtime at http://tradeli.st

Be careful for short term trading. There are hundreds of pump-n-dumps going on any given day. I'm not advocating for or against the pump/dumps but its 100% deregulated, so you are exposing yourself to those shenanigans as well.

Here's a curated list to follow: https://twitter.com/CryptoTradeNews/lists/pump-n-dump

I find Bitcoin and all the altcoins fascinating. Its going to be a fun ride to see where it leads us.

wtf, he has internet access down there? ...and where in the hell did he get a pizza from?

Here's my take...

Bitcoin is just too damn difficult to use or understand. And people don't bother with something they don't understand, especially at a price of $1000/unit that was $13 a year ago.

I still talk to people who think they have to buy a full bitcoin and are waiting for the price to drop by 50%.
Its psychological -- they think they aren't getting any value for less than 1 BTC.

Also, the wallet experience is absolute shit. as a UI engineer and usability guy, this was the main reason I didn't buy any in 2010 when i first heard about them. 2 years went by...and I still couldn't download more than 5% of the blockchain w/ my computer running and fan overheating for 2 days straight.

Sites like Coinbase are starting to change this...but then everyone says not to use web wallets, so there is fear there and people simply give up. "cold storage", "paper wallet", "encryption, backups" -- people don't know what any of that shit means.

Also, who is going to buy at $1000? I wouldn't buy a share of Google stock at $1000. I don't think Google will go to $10,000 anytime soon. I'd be a fool to buy at the all time high. People use the same logic on Bitcoin that they use for stocks.

Its a pain in the ass to acquire Bitcoins as well. You have to verify your account, know your routing number/account number, wait 5 days, then do a deposit to fund the exchange wait another 4-5 business days. I know this isn't Bitcoin's fault. But can you blame anyone for giving up? Then there's the option of using LocalBitcoins, and you risk getting shot or scammed.

Before you start flaming me, telling me I'm wrong, these are my observations over the past year both as a bitcoin enthusiast and someone who is constantly explaining what Bitcoin is to people.

So for Bitcoin to really take off, people need to think they are getting a value, mBTC should help with that. They also need an easy, secure wallet. I like strongcoin.com for that (i hope they support altcoins eventually). In my mind the wallet situation is the biggest problem.

The WinkleVoss Trust (which will be open to anyone) and traded on a real stock exchange, will probably be an easy way for people to invest in Bitcoin w/o the hassle. Traded on etrade, tdameritrade, etc. etc. in the environment they are used to. If it goes well, I suspect there will be other ways to invest soon to follow. This will drive the price to staggering levels if that happens...but people won't be holding bitcoins, so this doens't improve the bitcoin economy. Since there's nothing to spend at your merchants that start accepting.

There's also the deflationary aspect, why spend now when it will appreciate if I hold them instead. For people to spend, they need to have large amounts of mBTC. So 1mBTC for a cup of coffee isn't a big deal when you have 10k mBTC in your savings.

I think in 3-5 years time, we may see TDAmeritrade and other Forex brokers start to offer trading in BTC/Fiat pairs. Once this happens, there will be more stabilization as leverage and shorting will help stabilize the market. The current BTC exchanges would have been evacuated long ago if they were dealing with stocks and 60 second order lag times. Maybe coinsetter.com with their <1ms execution time will change all that and big money will enter the market unadulterated.

For what its worth, I'm extremely bullshit on Bitcoin. I think its the greatest revelation of our time. Since the Internet, or even Jesus. Maybe even bigger.

OP: can you add last 7 days % gain/loss to the table in addition to the last 24 hours?

there's no explanation as to what the profitability percentages actually mean on the table. Can someone explain to me? Does this figure have to do with mining, or is it just profitability based on the BTC exchange rate.

yeah, it has been doing ok. I bought some anyway. what's $10.
