You're on the motherfucker...?  Cheesy

Why won't Mt Gox implement locking in withdrawal addresses?
AFAIK, nobody does this, and I have absolutely no idea why. It's way more likely that someone's online account will be compromised than someone accidentally deleting their wallet, or having it stolen/decrypted.

In the future.... You should (at least used to) be able to find Mark in the MtGox IRC room. That would've been a great time to talk directly to him. I'm not sure if he has the support team hang around in there.

Probably nothing Gox can do, now, and why Bitcoin's particularly susceptible to online theft. IP addresses are useless, police are useless... sorry for your loss -- don't forget the lesson (I had to learn the hard way with 800BTC, too - though not with Gox, I had the same issue where I desperately tried contacting admin and he could've stopped it, but didn't respond in time).

Heh, and in his next post, he declares he thinks Mike Hearn is a government plant.

Theymos' surname, I don't think I'd ever be able to pronounce right.
2906  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Is wallet file protected? on: May 03, 2013, 04:30:55 AM
I just imported my wallet file. I wasn't asked any password or anything. After the import I saw my bitcoin in there with all my transaction history. Isn't the wallet file supposed to be encrypted and/or have a password on it somehow so that can't be done like that? I'm talking about the physical *.wallet file itself that is in the armory data folder. Is there a way to fully protect that wallet file?
You only need the password to sign/transact. AFAIK, an encrypted Armory wallet will show all funds and public addresses (along with associated transactions from the blockchain) whether you've entered your password or not, since this doesn't require the privkey. I don't *think* there's a way to change it, but you can ask (and log request with) dev by emailing alan.reiner@gmail.com

Um.... I'm pretty sure it's May, and May's the fifth month of the year. Did I miss something?

Oops sorry, I'm brit , should have seen that, my mistake. Embarrassed
Sorry to sound like a dick. Formatting difference totally slipped my mind. I do that when I see "commas used as decimals points," too, heh.

For anyone having issues, you can try:

clicking on "trade", you will then be prompted for your pw and username.

This is an alternative to using the pw/username widget (until it is working again)

Alternately, www.mtgox.com/login works (thanks, INAU!)
2911  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: CoinLab suing MtGox for $75 milliion? on: May 03, 2013, 01:34:38 AM
I'm also from the USA and unable to log into MTGox at this moment.  Clicking on the yellowish "Login" button, after entering my username and password, does absolutely nothing.  No error message.  Nothing to even confirm or deny having received the request.  I was logged in earlier today without any problems.  Weird. 
Double-confirmed, so almost certainly legit, and Mark seems to be implying guilt, heh.
2912  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: CoinLab suing MtGox for $75 milliion? on: May 03, 2013, 01:09:36 AM
...
This is gonna be interesting given that there are very high profile Bitcoin people on both sides of this lawsuit (Roger Ver is a CoinLab investor).

Yet another lawsuit involving Mr. Ver.  There go some more of my tax dollars to support Bitcoin participants.  I'm not complaining per-se...but sheesh.  Can't these guys just shoot eachother or something?
Doesn't the losing party in civil court generally pay court costs?

Don't Starve is awesome, btw. Would be great with more content and bugfixes, but they update regularly and stuff quite a bit in those updates.

To add -- a lot of pools are free, and the "expected" % revenue donation is usually ~2-5%, so it shouldn't be having a massive impact on your expected profit. PPS pools can be a bit more expensive because they remove the variance of the pool finding a block (you get paid each time you submit a share instead of being paid for your % work when someone in the pool solves a block), and pools want to stack the cards in their favor (because it is a lot like gambling), but pools do frequently either have to lower what they pay miners in PPS scenarios or remove the option entirely if they run into a string of unusually "difficult" blocks.

Huh Up for me.

ETA: Oh. Looks like order table isn't updating in /exchange (at least)
ETA2: Working again. Kind of slow, but that could easily be on my side.
2917  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Transaction fees explanation on: May 02, 2013, 11:15:54 PM
I think that for BTC it's free usually after a day.
That's frequently untrue. You need to be sending a "significant" amount of coins older than roughly a day and without a lot of inputs. "Mandatory" fees typically vary from .0005 to .0025 coins per transaction. It's a pretty decent system for eliminating "dust," it's just ridiculous trying to calculate the fee you should send. Many clients have errors in calculating minimum fees, and it doesn't help that some pools have different rules for inclusion.
2918  Economy / Speculation / Re: The End Is Near on: May 02, 2013, 11:03:07 PM
Can someone help me with this thought?

I see the altcoins as devaluing and having the potential to replace BTC. So, BTC is inherently threatened.

Since BTC/LTC/FTC are so similar,  doesn't it have the effect of "printing money" on the market, since all of them are the same and can be used for the same purpose? Why is BTC any better than any Altcoin or a combination of all of them? It seems like we went from 17 million coins, plus 4x that, plus 4x that 2nd number again!

So, why would BTC be worth more LONG TERM? It's because of USABILITY - if you can't use it, you won't buy it - and the price will drop! Whatever coin is being used, will have value - Unless its replaced by competition! I could see this happening repeatedly over the coming years - if another coin is able to out-compete BTC, inevitably something better will come along! I don't see BTC being particularly more USABLE than LTC for much at this point, so wheres the value? In its "potential"- but doesn't that  belong to all cryptocurrencies?

Unless BTC is somehow signed into law or permanently becomes the ONLY option mid/long term, it's value will always be in danger of other cyrptocurrencies taking its place, IMO.
BTC's more fungible because it's more established and popular, thus more usable. Exchanges aren't going to add a hundred BTC clones, nor are many merchants going to start accepting Feathercoins any time soon. BTC's always in danger of being replaced, but they'd have to be dramatically better to get over the adoption hurdle.
