I added shakaru's scam, due to popular demand and the fact that it has been a month since the last communication. It ranks as the 13th largest scam of all BTC history.

Does this happen everytime you try it?
It's never done that for me before, so no. However, solvemedia did work for me today as well.

This must be a solvemedia issue.. checked my code and this can only happen if there went somthing wrong while the solvemedia request..

What happens if you refresh the captcha?
Same error message.

I've never had a problem with solvemedia before, so I assume this is a server error message mix-up.

Delete every post you made in this thread. That should do the trick.

ops he called it "Bitcoins a Year Later"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yHGMTIsXlA

he looks at the crazy bubble / early adopter unfairness


I'm saying we should look at the support we saw in Aug 2011
That was not a support; it was a rebound. There is no bubble. This time, it's another stair in steady growth.

Hey wait a minute! What if the Manipulator is ALSO the Bitcoinica Hacker?!
How much USD does said hacker have?
2232  Economy / Speculation / Re: Rally!!!!! on: June 01, 2012, 02:04:36 AM
omg, someone is tossing around 27k coins at 5.25...
This is all just manipulation. There is no indication of a bubble.

yes wait a few days. then their will be a clear indication  Wink
Yes, a clear indication of the lack of a bubble.

omg, someone is tossing around 27k coins at 5.25...
This is all just manipulation. There is no indication of a bubble.

I wasn't saying that. The wall from 5.15 moved up; this is fun to watch.
The wall is getting hammered. Soon, Mr. Manipulator is going to sell the BTC he ends up with, albeit gradually. Result? More movement in a small range.

December 2011

crazy bubble only a few weeks behind, hacks left and right, extreme skepticism

The conditions were ripe.

really?

The speculators of the day certainly thought so.

Call me when bitcoin reach 30 again  Cheesy

As others have pointed out, getting to those numbers is going to be much, much more difficult than before.  There's going to be more selling pressure on the way up in addition to there being more standing orders on the order book this time around.  It'd take ~$2,000,000 to move the price that high right now.  In reality it's going to take several times that amount as people actively sell.
I think it’ll be easier as Bitcoin now has a wider reach and proven that it will stay. The peak volume we had at the top was ridiculous, so it won’t be too hard to surpass that. I’m expecting people to get euphoric and withdraw/put their asks much higher at some point.

yes, as usual Proudhon has it backwards.  

i never sold as we tanked.  in fact, i accumulated more.  and i certainly will NOT sell on the way back up to 32 as i'm expecting it to go way beyond that to at least gold parity.

the gold bubble is over and all that money is going to come here.
ElectricMucus has unfortunately been away ("RIP Bitcoin") but his posts still speak.  As I recall, he was a huge bear.
Even he says there is a possible market reversal Grin

Revised Nagle™ Chart



We broke through the short term accelerating downtrend and are about to challenge the overall downtrend. It's a 45 period exponential, added a 90 version to indicate possible market reversal.

RIP ElectricMucus.
definitely bubble #2

Since predictions made by btc-economists and btc-traders vary so widely that they cover the whole range of possible outcomes (major correction incoming!! major bubble in progress!! etc), I have no shame in making my very own pseudo-science prediction: I predict damped oscillation





yep, bitcoin definitely resembles an oscillator if we look at some peaks a year back. So prepare for a bigger "bubble", or wave...

 

Also, if I may, few hacks occurred around December. See the list I compiled here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=83794.0.

Goddammit, it's still May over here
Where do you live? With DST in most of the Northern Hemisphere, I assume west of Newfoundland, or South America.

 Bitcoin has strengthened, and I am definately not forecasting another bubble.


Agreed! Evidence over the past few months shows this. In the more distant past, if the price stagnated too long, there was sure to be a massive sell, closely followed by panic. We have been just creeping up lately, and this is a great sign of a maturing market.  

the market has gotten bigger.

We are about to asses its growth.... bubble #2 is defiantly happening

I posted this in December 2011:
We are on a mammoth upswing right now. Many people who use technical analysis are assuming that the indicators are pointing to a strong rise and further increase. The period of time between May 1 and July 31 is detailed below:


As you can no doubt see, all indicators (and volume) turned massively up before the giant crash. The current market situation is simulating the period of time before that. We have not yet reached the point where all indicators are hard up, and there is still no sign of an impending top, or at least not one yet.

The sample size of the "indicators turn to bubbles" is 1, so don't take too much out of this analysis. However, I would advise caution for anyone with a long position if the indicators continue pointing towards strong, rapid, gains, and if volume increases dramatically. Some members of the bitcointalk forum propose a correction to the rally; if this occurs, it will remove any immediate threat of a bubble.

As a footnote, notice that the NVI is not very useful when applied to the 2011 bubble. It is included here because it has been consistantly high the period of time before the 2011 bubble, and if our NVI continues the uptrend further bubble development is possible.

The conditions were ripe. But I was completely wrong. I learned that bitcoin has matured, and my bet is that you will too.
2237  Economy / Speculation / Re: Rally!!!!! on: June 01, 2012, 12:43:41 AM
Man, please let this not be a huge bubble again..  Roll Eyes
Back in January, I forecasted a March bubble. I was 90% confident, and displayed that 90% confidence to the forums. Why? Because history repeats itself, and the exact same sitations were brewing.

Boy was I wrong. Bitcoin has strengthened, and I am definately not forecasting another bubble.

I didn't even realize it was June already Tongue
Same here. I even had an alarm set up, and alas I dismissed it like any other alarm.

Nachtwind, I have a few suggestions for when you are back:

  • Implement a chain deflation feature; i.e. allow a chain to eventually reach a cap of coins (like bitcoin). This could be an optional checkbox and a setting "Block reward multiplied by [0.xx] every [xxxx] blocks". Said feature will also allow rampant-inflation coins as well, a double plus.
  • Allow anyone (not just the chain owner) to "upgrade" a chain's infrastructure. There are many examples:
    • Open a new exchange market xxx->xxx for a fee
    • Allow usage of the coin to buy coupons, if volume is high enough (by default, make coins unsuitable for this)
    • Lower the exchange fee for an exchange market for a fee
    • Allow access to that coin's richlist (people who have the highest stake)
    • Advertise the chain on the frontpage in an auction-like process
  • Allow chain creators to set initial block payments to a list of people, acting as a "pre-mine".
  • Decimal shift. Allow one virtual-coin to be priced at less than a satoshi (look at the prices now!)
  • Chain support! Some revenue of the website is used to support the exchange price of random chains that have some volume and are reasonably distributed.
