Chrome and IE are not allowing me to see my open orders, cannot cancel or place a new one because of this.  Very frustrated.  Installing goxsh to try and manipulate things using the API.  This is not acceptable though.

I agree it is unacceptable. I can't cancel one of my sell orders, this has been going on for hours! Where is mt gox?  Huh
They only work during Japan daylight hours (they say so themselves, not me just speculating).  This is not really acceptable for a forex trading website.  They need a staff large enough to handle voice/e-mail support 24 hours a day.  People can lose thousands in minutes due to issues when they are all sleeping.

Edit: Well it's 4PM Japan time, but it's Saturday, so I doubt they are even "working".

The delay is so long on withdrawing from MtGox to Dwolla that people start exaggerating and saying it's "impossible".  My last 3 withdraws have gone through in 7-8 days consistently.  I just sold a utility trailer for BTC, so I better be able to withdraw dammit! lol

I'm thinking anyone who is using Bitcoin has a dad that is so old they are really not even capable of knowing what the hell to do with it.  My dad can barely use a "feature" phone, he can't operate a computer at all, and we have to constantly show him that all the answers to his questions are contained within this magical thing called "Google".  "I wonder if there are any of those classic Triumph motorcycles for sale out there".  "Dad, look, pictures and prices for tons of classic Triumphs..." *shows him screen of my Droid*.  Yeah, Bitcoin in his world? Not gonna happen.
245  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / With Euro Zone Problems, Bitcoin Experiencing Boost In Legitimacy on: June 13, 2012, 06:04:10 AM
New article up on Slashdot - http://politics.slashdot.org/story/12/06/12/2351203/with-euro-zone-problems-bitcoin-experiencing-boost-in-legitimacy

It is rather nice that there is a Bitcoin rally right now as countries in Europe continue to burn.  The US stock market seems to be an inverse of the Bitcoin market also lately, if you ignore the last couple of tiny rallies.

I do think it is because of Bitcoinica and I'm loving it.

But if you fund it through GLBSE you might get your equipment cost back right away..
Exactly.  I have been watching these IPO's on GLBSE, and investing in them.  It is amazing how much capital they can raise in a week.  Then they go out and buy the hardware, and within weeks are returning the investment to their investors at 2% or more!  I've been mining for over a year now, and I even ran a mining pool called BitcoinMonkey, so I have the technical backing to do such a thing.  I just wish I had somebody to help me with the business side of things to get something like that rolling.  Even if I could just pick their brains for a little while to get a better idea of how to execute that sort of thing.

Just got my account activated.  Supposed to be Bitcoinica successor.  They sent me an invite code if you want to try and use - Invite code :    qTgc0 .  I don't have much time to check it out right now, but we will see how this pans out.  Couple more threads - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=81748.0  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=83420.0

My garage is getting quite warm.
One of my BFLs is up to 60C.
I see what you did there.
250  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: So hot! Gah! on: May 21, 2012, 10:46:41 PM
I would like to see pics of that.  I have a Holmes window fan with twin 12" fans that is constantly on high, but it's still 85 degrees in here.  Ducting directly from the cards would be the next step I guess, without buying a window A/C.
251  Bitcoin / Mining / So hot! Gah! on: May 21, 2012, 10:34:42 PM
It's been 95 degrees here in SoCal.  My GPU's have been shut down most of the day due to no A/C.  Anybody else shut down because of the heat wave?  Supposed to cool down the next couple of days, I need to move to the beach tho!
252  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Dwolla changes TOS to prohibit Bitcoin transactions? on: May 18, 2012, 07:57:35 AM
Thought I would revisit this thread to say that my withdrawal to Dwolla finally went through.  Requested Monday morning, took till Thursday night.  The support ticket I put in with Gox had comments on it that they are aware of the problems, but they linked me to some outdated information on the situation.  They did say they were working on it and they could tell me when Dwolla would accept the transfer as far as what they can see on their side.  Well, it finally went through at least.
253  Economy / Speculation / Re: What the Shit was this? on: May 17, 2012, 04:10:51 AM
It could have been someone trying to tear down their 0.6% fee by just moving their own BTC around.  What is the lowest fee tier on Gox?
254  Economy / Speculation / Re: What the Shit was this? on: May 17, 2012, 02:40:09 AM
The clam b4 the storm?

Huh?
255  Economy / Speculation / What the Shit was this? on: May 17, 2012, 02:33:22 AM
What the shit?


Was somebody really happy to just trade with themselves in a .00001 spread?

hazek, yes you are exactly right.  Legalized fraud with violence to back it up.  I know exactly what you are talking about.  The first time I heard someone explain how we have to follow laws because of the fear of violence thrust upon them by government I had no idea what they were talking about.  Now I understand exactly what they mean.
257  Economy / Economics / Re: Victoria Grant explains Fictional-Reserve Banking and why everything is crashing on: May 17, 2012, 02:11:36 AM
This is probably the 10th video I have seen where someone explains how banks create money out of thin air.  I just had a conversation with my mom and it went a little like this:

"When you buy a house for, say $200,000, the bank doesn't go into their vault and pull out $200,000 worth of gold or bills and give it to you.  They just type $200,000 and press ENTER on the computer and *POOF* it is magically created in the system."....  "If I have a bunch of credit card debt, why can't I just go *POOF* here I created all the money to pay off my debt, take it."..."How come the banks can do that and we can't?"

"...the government gave the banks the ability to loan out money that doesn't exist."
"...they don't actually give you money.  They click a key on a computer and generate the fake money out of thin-air."

259  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Emergency ANN] Bitcoinica site is taken offline for security investigation on: May 16, 2012, 09:42:07 PM
I am honestly flabbergasted how financial companies holding hot reserves keep using Rackspace, Linode, Amazon EC2, etc...

These "web 2.0 geeks" need to learn how to secure your system old school, like old bags like me do.

We have constantly 6 figures on our API enabled auto exchanger. Maybe because the reserves are actually ours, and do not hold client's funds we actually give a shit about keeping it secure?

Kids, here is how you secure a financial server:

- Get a BARE METAL dedicated server.
- Install Debian 6 on an ENCRYPTED LVM through KVM. Don't get your server at a hoster that does not allow you to install bare metal.
- update/safe-upgrade
- Generate SSH key pair. Leave only public on server....
- Disable SSH login with password
- Install firewall, only leave absolutely necessary ports open.
- Keep backups of your SSH key on encrypted drives, wualla, etc. This should be the only access to your server.

And there you have it ... break in on that ... not even the idiots working at the hosting company (or authorities getting your drives for that matter) will be able to get your info, your client's info, or your money for that matter.

Rackspace and the "cloud" is not there for servers holding 6 figures. It is unbelievable to me that after the break in on linode (which shouldn't have happened in the first place) neither Bitcoinica or Intersango took this as their absolute first priority.


The "cloud" is fine for your latest playing around project. But for financial matters, it is nothing more than glorified shared hosting.
I like the cut of your jib  Wink

Crapachino.  I just $995 from MtGox to my Dwolla account on 5/15 and it's not showing up on Dwolla.  Oh someone's going to get an earful.

Mt. Gox has acknowledged that their delay in sending it to you through Dwolla is currently around six days.   Once it reaches Dwolla it is instantaneous.  You can place a request with Mt. Gox to cancel the withdrawal instead.
Thanks for the info, I only waited 3 days.  I was wondering if it would be around a week.  Sucks because this crypto currency is all about being instantaneous, no waiting for arcane banking delays because they only want to stay open 8 hours a day, and yet when you go to cash out from mining or trading you get stuck in this old world mess.
