Where does that leave canadians?  Is there some big news coming, forcing Cdn exchanges to shut down? Or just pathetic volume/price? 


There is now only quadrigacx.

Anyone using it?

I was going to post and say thanks for the last 2 quotes, they are awesome, so Thanks, re-quoted for posterity.

In other news Canadian Bitcoin exchanges dropping like flies, CAvirtex going dark, this time I get a hint at what it's like to have coins on an exchange.

there must be an imminent rally coming on or something Tongue

Something must be up.  I guess I'll scrape my $0.07 and BTC0.06 out of there, lest it dissappear  Tongue 
To think I used to hold some coins on there.... what's left for Canadians?

this news is very timely, as BTC just started a mini-rebound from the bottom area:
7170 BTC stolen at BTER - https://bter.com/
here Cointelegraph report on the BTER hack:- http://cointelegraph.com/news/113494/bter-gets-hacked-for-175-million-in-bitcoin
sometimes BTC reminds of gold market too much...

Hackers steal £650 million in world's biggest bank raid

The new armed robbery.

So they lost about 1/3 of one days ECB printing...  or 0.06% of their current QE tranche.  Oh Dear.

Thinking about that...  If the same headline was true 20 times per week, every week, for the next year and a half, it wouldn't soak up what they ADMIT to printing.  Sick.
2606  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: February 15, 2015, 09:21:54 PM

Of course.  They will just print whatever is required.

make money or starve to death

That's pretty much the way things work.

You can try to force the ones that make money to pay for the needs of those that don't, but in practice it doesn't turn out well.

............ Presenting opinion as fact hasn't had much success either. I don't know by what measure you think those kinds of arrangements have failed, but there are plenty of redistribution systems that have worked very well at lifting swathes of people out of unfortunate situations. If you look at every country with a higher GDP per capita than the US you will find that they all have far more generous redistribution programs.

AND THEY ARE ALL BANKRUPT.

Fuck you sicko.

What is your point:
  • that rich people must suffer
  • that being lucky or successful must be punished

??  Huh

that the rich in general have acquired their riches on the backs of the workers / at the point of a sword / actual slaves - yes they do deserve to be punished

by having the poor commit mass suicide?! burnt guts and al dat? Cheesy

every day - every city hall -1 by 1 - until the shame of death for power consumes them - if need be

You start.  Please.

Some people will be so embarrassed in 10 years.

Whelp, some people should be drowning in embarrassment now.
Imagine, "Investing" real money in BTCeanie BTCabies Bitcoin, losing most of it over the past year, and now hoping to rope in gullible n00bs just to unload their BTCeanies  BTCags  Bitcoin.

Are you even ashamed of yourselves, Bitcoiners?  You should be.  Don't even care who you hurt Angry

You fiat bagholders should be ashamed of yourselves for trying to unload your fiat onto gullible BTC holders as it is obvious that fiat systems around the world are beginning to crumble.  Shame on you.

Point me to a dollartalk forum where innocents are indoctrinated, groomed & eventually savagely raped, like they are here on bitcointalk?
Sure, Bitcoiners are wily, but if enough victims like yourself reach out for help, THEY CAN BE STOPPED!
Admit you were raped, don't let their manipulation & your shame silence you!

Ummm,  state controlled schools and media, cradle to grave indoctrination have clearly worked on you.  And most of your fellows. You have to hand it to them, it is a highly effective system.  Cracks are showing more and more though.

7 days until the Euro crashes. Can't wait.

I'm assuming you are referring to the troika's demand that Greece submit a bail-out plan that they will not submit, prompting a Greek Gov't shutdown and a massive bank-run. 

What non-senses are you people writing here? What Gov't shutdown? Bank-run?!? I have a feeling you know the situation as you are from Mars. There's 0 chance of Government shutdown, they have a brand new Gov't less then a month old which got elected with massive support announcing that it will do exactly what it is doing now. If Greece leaves the Euro-zone it will be better both for the Greece and the Euro.

  That does not preclude bank runs, nor the collapse of the EU.  Or the deflation of NATO for that matter.  Contagion and dominoes.  One triggers the next.

What has this to do with NATO? And how something that makes both economies healthier leads to bank runs and collapse of the EU? Have you ever studied the Iceland financial recovery which Greece is imitating?
http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/financial-recovery-of-iceland-a-case-worth-studying-a-942387.html

From what I have read, bank runs are a reality, now.  The EU is in dire straits as it is, and cannot continue long in its present form.  The abandonment of NATO by European countries is very possible.  They need Russia and China more than they need the US, and they might even come to realize that fact before Washington forces them into war.

May see a big spike in days to come if Greece exsits the Euro and thats starting to look likely.If that happened investors would head for the Swiss Franc as a safe haven perhaps forcing Switzerland to impose currency controls.....enter Bitcoin

Doubt it. Bitcoin is becoming less and less significant (was it ever anything other than an ultra-volatile speculation?) as the days go by.

Bitcoin's market cap was never more than $13bn. It's struggling to stay above $3bn at the moment.

So, I think you severely overestimate Bitcoin's importance and/or influence.

The Greece leaving the Euro scenario that you talk about has already been priced in to the markets (i.e. gold, Swiss Franc, GBP, oil, etc.) Bitcoin? Are you mad?

Excuse me, but how do you conclude into such a verdict? Gold/Oil/GBP entangled with an economy which it's debt is a 1.3% fraction of the total EU GDP? I'm sorry to spoil it, but it's not so.

That's right. Bitcoin is the answer.
I doubt it is. But just for the record when the ECB last year closed the liquidity vane to Cyprus banks, BTC was used as a way out of there. Doubt it it's a possible scenario for Greece too?

It didn't really work out, did it?

You are a gullible fool if you think the Greeks are going to start using Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is less volatile than Greek debt... and has a way bigger upside.  It wouldn't be the worst thing they could do.  Still not gonna happen, but there's stranger ideas out there.

I'd love it if there was a maintained public list of shareholders.

Easier to maintain if there was more than one dividend per year. 

Burn.

I mean, look at this standard transaction using the new daemon with fee scaling: https://minergate.com/blockchain/mro/transaction/653f746ee2eda1d78557f261892b0d4871748a1143501f699c89f8bc45e5180d

Thats 5 inputs, one mixin making a whopping 2.561kb transaction....

Sorry, stopped reading when you Stated bytes were kilobytes.

Code:
Size, bytes	2561

Pretty sure this is a difference in dialect.

America: 2561 bytes = 2.561 kb = 2561 bytes / 1000 bytes/kilobyte

Wherever you are: 2.561 kb = 2561000 bytes

Where are you?

  In Binaryworld kilo is 2^10 = 1024.  This isn't the metric system  Cheesy

2619  Economy / Speculation / Re: Gold collapsing. Bitcoin UP. on: February 08, 2015, 08:06:03 PM
What are the odds that this greek situation would start a bitcoin rally?

   Kind of like Cyprus.  If the timing is coincidental to a major rally, who's to say what comes first?  Either will boost the other, I think.  BTC gets major press as the EUR tanks, or EUR tanks as BTC takes off.  2015 is going to be a boiling year of change, any way you look at it.  

Cyprus did not cause the April 2013 rally. I don't know why everyone thinks that... Also, Greece isn't going to impact bitcoins price.

Just noting that the timing of the PEAK was coincidental, and could build toward a similar outcome again.   Anyone holding euros (IMO) aught to be gambling them soon on whatever they can, in Greece or anywhere else.  Zero is coming for you...

I used to be able to do the same thing in the US, deposit money in a bank account and get btc.

And he reuses the same address Huh

Used to be able to fund my exchange acct here in Canada that way too, but banks kept closing their accounts.  Withdraw cash, cross street to their branch, deposit.  Simple.  Now it is a 10 day process (labelled 3-5 business days, but good luck with that)  And the fees are more than .027btc.   That won't even get you a coffee at Starbucks here  Cheesy
