Thanks epetroel, I think I am going to check out some non-usd markets. And you're right, the opportunities above 1% are not common.
I looked at btc-e and I don't really know why but I don't feel very comfortable letting my money sit in there.

I have been doing automated arbitrage at some of the top USD exchanges, but the opportunities are very rare nowadays. The prices at TradeHill and MtGox now move almost at the same time.
So I decided to create this thread to share experiences with other people that are also doing arbitrage. Does anyone have any tips or do you know about exchanges that are not as efficient? Maybe the USD/EUR/GBP bitcoin market has more interesting opportunities?

6 - "16E74xiL19Suz1nVKd8p7ZnuZsjMswZYAC" is an adress I created by cliking on Receive Coin, New Adress, from my saving wallet...
How long will it take before I see the 0.05 BTC in that wallet ?
If you are synchronized with the network you should see it. We're currently at block 160473 |

1 - Yes, but be careful not to lose any of the wallets. If you lose the file your money is gone. 2 - The "sync" is independent of the wallet. If you have downloaded all the blocks then your client is updated regardless of which wallet you use 3 - There is a new client coming up that might make this easier, but for now I don't know of any easier way. 4 - If you sent money, you should make a new backup of the wallet file 5 - You can use either of them, but after you send money from one wallet you should copy it to replace the other 6 - The 0.038 is the "change" from the transaction that will be returned to the wallet where you sent your coins from. Are you sure that the address 16E74xiL19Suz1nVKd8p7ZnuZsjMswZYAC is in your Savings Wallet? |

Boas Quem tem sugestões para dar, por favor vá ao http://translate.multibit.org e se registe e envie as suas sugestões. Já muito fiz eu em fazer a tradução, sem ter recebido nada em troca, num dia.  Nunca reclamei do que vc feiz (meus parabens) só comentei que a tradução a meu ver de Brasileiro algumas palavras ficaram estranhas Exacto. É bem mais fácil criticar do que fazer Eu devo registar-me brevemente e se calhar sugerir uma ou outra alteração. |

I think it will take longer then that. The power costs are still pretty low on the gpu's. I pay under 3 cents a watt, which is around 6 percent of profits right now. It could play a bigger role if the bitcoin price drops under $2.00 and makes it unprofitable in areas with high power costs. Even then they will still be competing with people like me who can profit unless it drops under $1.00 I think maybe in 7 or more years it could compete, depending on how well bitcoin holds its value.
Electricity costs are 6% of the profits because you are only competing with miners that have cheap electricity like you. FPGAs will allow almost everyone to mine. You can expect a significant difficulty increase during 2012 even if the bitcoin price remains the same. |

What advantage will this have over generating my own seeds?
Just about to post that. It seems to me that a user that is knowledgeable enough to import these keys can also securely generate his own. |

Hi, I'm just getting started with bitcoins (well, I've read about 20 hours worth of webpages). I still have a few questions.
1. How long, start to finish, does it take to create and fund a dwolla account and purchase bitcoins on mtgox?
2. Isn't bitcoin vulnerable because so much of its liquidity depends on mtgox?
3. Isn't bitcoin vulnerable because the developers are few and could be influenced?
4. How long does it take to be able to post outside of this sub-forum?
Thanks and hello!
2. Sort of. Feel free to use other exchanges. I suggest CampBX or TradeHill. 3. No. Everyone needs to agree on a fundamental change (miners and consequently users). If you don't like what is being done, you can use an alternative crypto-currency or create your own. 4. Read the stickies |

Sorry, my mistake, $55 is from memorydealers.com.
I'll try Casascius, and thanks for the info about customs. Good to know.
Cheers!
They ship the "physical bitcoins" without the "digital bitcoins". When you receive them, they send the digital bitcoins to the addresses. So the extra 20% would be on the physical coin value only (which is not much). |

Já vi o mercado bitcoin e também acho a liquidez insuficiente. Sobre os mercados estrangeiros o único método que posso conseguir realizar no momento é wire transfer com taxas relativamente altas. Alguém conhece um jeito de comprar bitcoin com moeda estrangeira pagando menos?
Além dessas duas maneiras tudo que consigo pensar é uma negociação arranjada como no #bitcoin-otc , mas devido a minha grandiosa falta de experiência nao quero arriscar por lá.
Caso vocês estivessem na minha situação, como comprariam as bitcoins?
Aqui em Portugal é bastante mais simples porque há algumas exchanges que facilitam o depósito de dinheiro vindo de países Europeus. O #bitcoin-otc é óptimo, mas o registo é difícil para quem não está à vontade com computadores e seria preciso encontrar lá outra pessoa disposta a vender bitcoins por reais. Uma opção seria usar o novo CryptoXchange. Eles suportam 25 moedas (suponho que o real esteja incluído) e cobram $15 por depósito, mas a liquidez lá também é pequena... EDIT: Ah, e quanto ao mining, em termos de investimento é uma má opção comprar GPUs agora. Nos próximos meses vai dar-se uma revolução em termos de hardware com o aparecimento de FPGAs e hardware feito específicamente para bitcoins. |

The easiest way to do this is probably through an online wallet. Bitcoin exchanges usually let you send bitcoins without paying fees.

Sou de Portugal e acho que "As tuas carteiras" é uma má tradução porque o utilizador deve ser tratado de modo formal neste caso. De qualquer maneira isto devia ser decidido pelo Multibit e fornecido aos tradutores. Há várias línguas que têm duas formas para se referirem a pessoas, uma mais informal (tu) e outra mais formal (você).
Sério que em Portugal "você" indica formalidade? Como "husted" em espanhol? Não sabia disso. E é formal mesmo falando "ocê"?  Em software, "Etiqueta" é a tradução mais comum de "Label". Não me parece mal.
Label está mais pra rótulo, tag que seria etiqueta. Mas bom, não tem importância. Não sei espanhol, mas "você" é completamente formal em Portugal  Os amigos/familiares normalmente tratam-se por "tu". O uso de "você" indica uma relação de respeito e usa-se quando falamos com um desconhecido ou às vezes com familiares mais velhos. E sim, rótulo parece-me mais correcto. Não me tinha lembrado disso. |

I use Tradehill's API withdraw call all the time.
With bitcoins? I also couldn't get it to work... |

Do you understand how DNN-Aricie-Bot works? I never used it (and I'm not sure if it is working 100%), but I think that the default algorithm is to place a few bids/asks around currency prices and try to profit from the price swings. If there are no price swings, you probably won't see a lot of action...
Regarding other bots, there are two main issues with using someone else's bot:
- An open source bot will not be very profitable (it probably won't be profitable at all) because other people can take advantage of the pre-defined strategy and trick the bot into making wrong decisions.
- Most bots need constant adjustments to remain profitable, so if you don't understand the code you can't make these adjustments.
Because of these two points most people end up writing something themselves with a more personalized strategy.

Someone should create a bot-as-a-service platform. It would be highly configurable and customizable. Hell, for all I care, you could submit a short JS snippet as a "strategy" for your bot - that would be your "secret sauce" over your competitors. You could add Genetic Programming to the mix. Something along the lines of Covestor. Of course the downside is that you'll have to trust the person running the bot platform. |

Couldn't you just send a private key with an amount assigned via email? QED.
Exactly. That is the easiest method. Create a private key, transfer funds to it. Now you have a portable digital and physical method of transfering it. You can print it, encrypt it, email it, put it on a thumb drive, generate a QR code on your phone etc. You need to generate a new address, send the coins there, send the private key to someone and delete your copy of private key. The other person needs to import the key and immediately send the funds to a new address in order to guarantee that they are not stolen. So I would say that, above all, we need a smart client integration that allows these features. OP suggestion is interesting because it allows for more complex operations than just sending the private key. You can add a password or a personal message for example. |
