On all pictures of the trading floor the pros feature several displays. Scaling down the browser window fonts on a huge screen can archive similar experience if your eyes are in good shape. My GPU allows two TFTs so when I am in the mood of playing stock exchange tycoon that's my option.
Specialized software would be neat but as mentioned most people want to get away from successfull active trading so whip together some sort of robot thingy that can later fail on the changing markets completely automized.

...
Aside that, its rather unfortunate that the land of the free is turning into the shadow of itself.

The concept got messed up further and further, but the initial idea seems still to be alive!
As long as people demand for some sort of personal freedom it does exist.
Many different ways to strieve for the right things, to archieve that.
Don't give up yourself.
264  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will save the elite. on: March 15, 2017, 11:21:55 AM
It is true that bitcoin will probably benefit the elite more than the average Joe.

That's something that we should work towards. Making sure that we are spreading the word about bitcoin and letting our family members and friends know about the amazing things you can achieve with the bitcoin network.

Joe is not exactly tech savy, but improves. Ten years ago nobody carried a quadcore computing device around the landscape everywhere he goes. Now they diddle Angry Birds on these.
Beeing elite comes along owning some skills at least.

The thread from the powers in control are targetting the hashrate. Investments into mining equipment had been the improved Joe's job utilizing wood and duct tape and brazing and soldering. This scene changed and that imposes a thread. Concentration and pure monopoly.
265  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think the transaction fee will kill bitcoin? on: March 14, 2017, 06:26:56 PM
https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/5xsxhu/for_552_of_bitcoin_addresses_fees_are_now_bigger/del080f/ opened a can of worms, stating that 55.2% of all Bitcoin addresses would be eaten by transfer fees.
Oh wait, is that statement even true? What if you bundle several "dust" addresses sending into a single target address? Should be requiring 1 time fees only.
I recieved some dust from former mining that is less than average fees. Can only push it into a bigger amount carrying address supplied with almost zero fees and wait 2 days if it works out, and redoing UNTIL that happens - dammit!

There should be a slow lane or a contingent like 5% of all transfers that gets special handling for exact that case.
266  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why bitcoins illegal ???? on: March 14, 2017, 09:45:33 AM
in my country bitcoin is accept in some place only but government is scare about illegal activity or to cover illegal activity
sample has been proof like they use bitcoin to do drug transaction and firearm
In another country they use funny money painted mostly in green, to purchase firearms in a drugstore!
Maybe the fundamental problem is hypocrisy, not currency.
267  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: In what situation would Bitcoin die? on: March 14, 2017, 09:09:29 AM
It ia so impossible to happen.
Bitcoin will never die because it is supported by many people around the globe.
Indeed for now bitcoin has many supporters and it could only provide a positive thing for bitcoin in future. But do you also not perpikir about how that would happen if bitcoin experienced a problem, whether they are from the very beginning supported the bitcoin will still be mendukungnnya or even move..??. Try it so someone who isn't just being someone savvy in talking but also so smart people in analyzing

Never say never. Change, change.. changes! Adapt, or perish.
"mendukungnnya" sounds like Sepuku, I doubt one would have to do on a level of four times like 2015 levels. Did we not just made another ATH?
268  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Should I buy Asic? on: March 13, 2017, 10:01:54 PM
I'm thinking about buying a new ASIC Usb.

Do you think it will be worth it?

Definitely no. If you are learning mining, you can understand it with just the hardware of your actual computer. I don't recommend to invest in hardware that will never get ROI, it's way better to just buy btc directly.

Probably able to understood the process with CPU mining even, yes, but on the other side getting a used AntMiner U1 from Ebay just for some hands on experience costs almost nothing besides postage and packing. That U1 has been 30 dollars on release date. That fun should be doable on a ten dollars budget.
Better than torturing the GPU

Some reading material from the BTC Wiki https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison and even more historical https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Non-specialized_hardware_comparison
269  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][KMD][dPoW] Komodo - Zcash Zero Knowledge Privacy Secured by Bitcoin on: March 13, 2017, 08:48:57 AM
this is not a rollback to bail out some exchange that got hacked.

the attacker has generated another 27 blocks in the last hour and at this pace he would generate much more than 10 million KMD by the 236000 block with the original bugfix trigger.

It is a bug that was not found by a white hat, but by someone who repeatedly exploits the same bug over and over.

I did not block the first exploit of the bug, that can be considered a bounty. But beyond that, it is like handing in the same thing over and over again expecting to be paid for it.

I never said the code is the law. The miner reward has been stated to be 3 KMD per block, not 100003 KMD. It is a chain stoppage due to a critical bug. People have relied on 3 KMD per block as mining reward, so to allow 100003 KMD as a reward would violate things a lot more than stopping the chain at 235300.

I will use common sense for this. Also, in the future if there is some other critical bug that dramatically changes what everyone's understanding is, then I will likely fix it and stop the chain, etc.




Its a no brainer - roll back or its dead Komodo

Some things are no brainers, but I will take some time to wrap my head around the concept of a "stoppable chain" that seems sufficiently unique to put Komodo far apart from other altcoins.
270  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you always missed the right time to sell/buy bitcoin? on: March 13, 2017, 01:41:27 AM
Just never try to rely on your speculation about the future of bitcoin. It's possible for the bitcoin will reach $1500 in the future but don't forget if the bitcoin was having the market with high volatility.
Try to sell them before the red dip happens. and take your profit.
There you implied forecasting the future is a necessarity, "before the red dip" and contradicted your preceding statement "never try to rely on your speculation" !
Gotcha  Roll Eyes
Well there is a trailing reaction trade method, when it dips then dive for the dip. And laugh into anybody's face recitating "never catch a falling knife". Those are Bitcoins, not kitchen blades. On the long on the rise.
End of 2017 should see 1500 just my opinion.
271  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: How does Shapeshift work differently from other altcoin exchanges? on: March 13, 2017, 01:35:18 AM
I don't know what is different about it. Can someone please elaborate?
No orderbooks, so no free market. They are trailing behind the prices set by real exchanges. That always results for their customers in a worser exchange rate.
On the other side: Ease of use. No deposits, no accounts. Simply send coins of one sort and recieve another sort on your provided return adress.
272  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bull run is over. Welcome to the consolidation period. on: March 12, 2017, 03:48:37 PM
Meh. Maybe i was wrong. We will see. Maybe bitcoin skips consolidtion and small last dump before next bull run
How would you argue about the last three hours? 1200$ are the new consolidtion level with an upswing pushing right through.
During last week I did clicked so many urls containing "ETF" that I'm now uncapable of finding relevant information again. Small doubt remaining if it was relevant, after all.
273  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bull run is over. Welcome to the consolidation period. on: March 12, 2017, 02:35:29 PM
- ETF was denied because Bitcoin is not something that can be regulated
- we may argue that regulators went to far here and killed innovation ETF could bring

Nevertheless there has been rumors of at least two other ETF approaches ongoing besides the Winkelwoss one, but I cannot dig where I picked that up! Must have been a posting inside this forum subpart. It's not a single thing to kill off.
However on the long term an ETF tradeable product is inevitable, somewhere around the world some tiny location just would have to reach out it's hand to grab hold. And if we have to use rupees or rouble to get access, doesn't matter.
274  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Muhammad Ali Jr. Detained At Airport For Second Time on: March 12, 2017, 08:04:30 AM
After the 9/11, the security and surveillance in the international airports were increased, and a lot of people get detained as a result of it. Another thing  is that a large number of plane hijackers have the first name as "Mohammed".

A better clue regarding the 9/11 hijackers would not have been surname pattern matching, but their origins from Saudi Arabia.
This reminds me of that timespan of 1933 ~ 1945 where they had been killing people by religional believes.
275  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Your big brother can watch your every move, CIA vs wikileak on: March 12, 2017, 02:54:44 AM
To combat terrorism, all the ways are good. Or you have the illusion that, for example, the FSB has such technology? Any gadgets are vulnerable and people just have to live with it.
FSB can simply reuse the CIA technology. It's available all over the internet by now. Epic fail, their housekeeping blundered. This is an unacceptable outcome!
276  Economy / Speculation / Re: Legendary Status... on: March 12, 2017, 01:08:16 AM
It is nice to see older members still posting, but that's got absolutely nothing to do with how bitcoin is doing.

Personally I think a lot of oldies left this site after seeing how frigging toxic it's become with spam and scams.  People from all different countries should not come together on an English language chat board, that's my opinion.  I'd say 80% of the posts on here aren't worth reading AT ALL.
It has been observed that the Local Boards are quite different and more friendly from writing style, indeed.
There is no explanation for the effect. Maybe some greater sense of beeing equal to each others, a nationalistic streak.
277  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Your bitcoins are only as safe as your password on: March 12, 2017, 01:03:09 AM
The amount of entropy storeable inside the human mind is to limited. You are well advised to carry some sort of jewellery / ornament with you that keeps the secrets. Which book has that been taken from? I am remembering Stephenson's "Cryptonomicon" but it has been another one of his books.
278  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: bitcoin calculated on: March 11, 2017, 09:19:04 AM
How is the value of bitcoin calculated?

Supply and Demand. It depends on what other people are selling it for and/or buying it for. Acts like a stock market of sorts.

The ETF denial had some comments on it. Free market rules don't completely apply, there are some uncanny factors kicking in.
279  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: My cold wallet on: March 11, 2017, 09:17:58 AM
I am somewhat opposed to cell phones. They are made for spying onto you, so not a trustworthy platform. According to the Vault 7 revelations anything "smart" is not trustworthy.
280  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is CHINA CONTROLLING Bitcoin? on: March 11, 2017, 08:59:12 AM
Hardware is being manufactured in China due to the lower costs, but that doesn't mean every manufacturer of mining gear is in Chinese hands. Does it give them some sort of an advantage? Perhaps, but Chinese influence in Bitcoin is diminishing to eventually such a level, that other than their cost-friendly-climate, there is not much that gives them any sort of significance.
Nevertheless software development seems to be in the hands of western culture sphere. It's like Apple, Foxconn and that.
Actually that hardware part has to travel back into the US on a longterm, otherwise ... doh!
