Well, there's one argument for higher dollar valuation for BTC as prices inflate. We'll know we're on the right track when BTC exceeds precious metal peaks.

That's nothing, I just shut down my 100 GHash/sec array because it kept filling my attack zepplin with too much hot air - and I don't have oxygen bottles plentiful enough to keep cabin pressure going. That'll put a dent in my party plans, nobody likes to be a sick guest aboard a luxury airship.
Please, if you are in your underground volcano lair, just pull the thermocouples from the hot magma and stop mining, it's going to get someone hurt.

Some of these tools have corrected storing keys in DRAM, and this video is from 2006. I think most companies would have their products updated from five years ago.

I have a time-travel portal, which I can use to mentally connect with someone in another age and make suggestions. Luckily, I happened upon a skilled egyptian craftsman who is working on the latest and greatest sarcophagus for the late pharoah. My wallet.dat is has been laboriously engraved into the inner lid of the vessel, buried now in the most massive structure on the planet.
Of course, retrieval is another problem... hmm....

This forum is considerably more active and has recently seen a lot of discussion about MtGox. I emailed MtGox support directly about the failed execution and received an auto-reply to expect an answer in 48-72 hours. In the meantime I was curious to know if others had experienced the same. My search through the forum turned up no results so I posted a new thread. Another user helpfully pointed me to the thread where people are discussing this very topic. Since the thread title was unrelated to my question I had not checked there prior to my post.
I hope this answers your question. If this topic isn't of interest to you, "why bother posting here, then?"
Okay, +1 for effort and being able to coherently respond. You'll have to understand, this main discussion forum has been overrun lately with complete idiots. I'm glad you aren't one, but I still don't see how communal confirmation of an error that can't be corrected by anyone here other than the exchange sysop is going to help. If it is merely comforting that other people share your pain, then so be it, I was looking for more beyond that, personally. |

I agree with your analysis, lord-of-slack. I need to update my chart, but my last analysis is here - http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5074/5867157443_5ed5d5b2d0_b.jpgI think we'll need to bust out of that triangle before we really do anything interesting. I have some proprietary indicators down at the bottom, essentially, if they aren't above their respective zerolines, we're not doing much either way. Seems we are 'basing' for the moment, which is pretty healthy market behavior. |

Love this chart presentation. Seriously - this is a slick looking site. I have zero complaints, the sucker looks drop-dead sexy on my phone as well!
Great job!!

Maybe because you don't get any communication from Mt. Gox whatsoever!
And how many people on this forum have admin capability to do anything about a Mt.Gox issue? Oh yeah, one guy, who actually runs the exchange has an account here. But he's also the contact in his OWN SUPPORT FORUM. Tell me how spamming here helps again? |

At least I am willing to admit I was wrong. Some people keep making guesses and act like they always get things right.
I respect that. You're right, most of the crazy people saying it was going to zero haven't uttered a peep. Good trading to you. |

I try to GOX my GOX when GOXing, but damned if the GOX doesn't GOX me up every GOXing time.
You know? If only there was a GOXing GOX way to GOX, then I would be able to GOX it out. If you could just GOX it up sometimes, I think we'd all GOX you, just out of respect.
Feel free to GOX, but if we continue to GOX and GOX while the GOX isn't GOXed, then we'll all suffer the same GOX.
GOX to you,
GOXing GOXer

One of my favorites is a guy who tried to GIVE AWAY a gold coin on a boardwalk. He was in a pretty affluent area, and not one person took him up on his offer. He also goes into a local coin dealer who authenticates the coin and says it is worth market value.
Priceless.

(1) is true: everybody gets hacked. But the risk distribution between traditional banking and bitcoin are totally different.
In traditional banking, when accounts are compromised, hackers win, banks lose, standard consumers don't win or lose anything: they remain as before and don't have to worry about it.
In the bitcoin economy, when accounts are compromised, hackers win, standard consumers / users lose, and banks are unchanged.
To me, that is the story. The average Citi customer doesn't have to fight off the global collective IQ of the hacker community. Citi bears that risk for them. But they do have that job if they use bitcoins.
The gratuitous insults from the Aspy-types here are just icing on the cake. Thankfully, not eveyone here is so callous.
(Full disclosure: I have yet to lose any BTC, but I do empathize with the posters here who've lost absurd sums of money to hackers.)
Ah, so it is okay and dandy that we print money to cover the loss, versus being anti-inflationary. Tell me why you use bitcoin again? Oh, and the average Citi customer doesn't fight off hackers, true -- they rely on Citi's IT department to do it for them. And when they fail.... It isn't an insult, its reality. I don't go into the bar after being mugged expecting people to buy me a drink and go "Awwwwww" when I've lost money. Maybe because I'm self-reliant and accept the responsibilities of my mistakes and actions. (Taking that dark alleyway shortcut when I should've known better.) People who can't own up to the fact that they royally 'effed up, then come here for sympathy really don't deserve any. |

Oh thank the stars, another Mt.Gox thread!!
You guys have been slacking. We need about 10-20 new ones before the day is out. Warm up those keyboards!

I disagree. If it is secure, others will follow and competition will make this a neat market. But still, who is making any money?
Not in the sense of competition or security. I mean - if shortner service "XYZ.ly" decides to pull out of the business, or simply can't afford to keep their servers running, what happens to all those cute shortened URLs? That's right, they all break. Doesn't make sense to put all those eggs in that particular basket. |

What is the relevance, exactly?
(1) Everyone gets hacked, so no special problem for bitcoins?
or
(2) In Citi, your accounts are 100% guaranteed if you are hacked and they eat the loss, whereas in BTC, your only guarantee is being flogged in the forums if you admit what happened?
1.) Yeah, pretty much. Most users on the internet are barely able to breathe and digest properly - much less maintain a system effectively against incursions. 2.) If you have BTC taken from you, and the FIRST thing you do is post here --- I have to ask, are these users completely retarded? Who the hell does that? Drama queens? Liars? Fix the problem and move on, you know, like an adult. Don't come whining here expecting a big forum-hug. |

While I think the shortner address is cute, it goes against the decentralization theme, not only for bitcoin but for the entire internet. A shortner is nothing but a central point-of-failure that doesn't help anyone if it goes *poof* some day. I understand the convenience, but it will backfire eventually.
