I deposited money into CampBX, bought Bitcoins, and was not allowed to withdraw them the same day.

Yes, but the program still starts when I'm not charging.

I like that this version of Bitcoin Wallet has a "disconnect" feature. However, I am noticing that this app Bitcoin Wallet is randomly starting up and connecting to nodes at apparently random intervals. I choose the "Disconnect" option and it disconnects, and then will randomly start up again at a later time. I am running this on a Droid 4 running Android 2.3.6.

Additionally, a person could put a Bitcoin deposit down, and Bitmit could hold it and show that it was deposited, as a sign that the person was really serious about buying the item they say they want.

The reason that we can't use something like Folding@Home is that it would allow the operators of Folding@Home to potentially manipulate the blockchain. Individual nodes can't verify that a protein has been successfully folded on their own, they would have to trust the operators of Folding@Home. We would have to find some kind of useful calculation that everyone can verify without having to trust a third party.

If the temporary inability to short is driving up prices, they will inevitably fall down again when somebody else sets up a large service that allows short selling.

I would like to volunteer to help moderate the wiki and clean up the spam.

My motivation is to have a central place people can go to get all their Bitcoin questions answered, for the betterment of the Bitcoin community.

Who is in charge there? Is there anything that can be done to fight back against the spammers?

Has anyone done a broad data analysis on past lucky numbers to see how evenly distributed they are?

If someone sets up an auction for this, I will be very interested. Also looking for a crisp new Canadian $100.

Wonderful that it now has the "Disconnect" option. Thanks for the good work!

I would say that ECDSA is Bitcoin's "core crypto." If someone found a flaw in SHA-256, Bitcoin would be disrupted but could be resumed with a new hashing method from some point before SHA was broken. Breaking SHA256 doesn't allow you to spend other people's bitcoins. If ECDSA was broken, you can spend anyone's Bitcoins, and the entire thing is tits up.

I have not gotten it. I would not give any information from links from an email, just go to their website directly and see if they ask you for information there.

Intentional stabilization of the Bitcoin price requires people to buy Bitcoin for more than they would normally be required to pay, and/or sell Bitcoin for less than they would normally be able to get. So it's costing people a significant amount of their own money to do something altruistic. Because of this I think it's unlikely but not impossible. The strange stabilization of price lately does seem to point in that direction.

The auctions are listed with the bids at $X USD  (printed large) and the smaller Bitcoin price below that.

But the "Buy now" price is written with the larger Bitcoin price and the smaller USD price below that. The two entires should have the two prices listed in the same order.

Can you make it so that the link to messages lights up when you have an unread message?


I really like your site. A good quality online auction site is imo one of the most important things in the Bitcoin world. I thought that Biddingpond was good, but they mysteriously disappeared. You don't plan on going anywhere, I hope?  

Are you gathering this from chart analysis, or have you heard from people who say they are engaged in such stabilization practices?

Very interesting, but remember this only applies to brute force attacks. Someone might find a mathematical weakness in SHA256.

I have a new signature.

Welche Dinge würden Deutschen gerne aus Amerika über Bitmit kaufen?

Is it really a significant difference to you whether you receive X bitcoins worth Y dollars, or 2X bitcoins worth Y dollars? I would prefer the latter, really. It's like buying Bitcoins on sale.
