-Getting kinda long-

On a side note, what screenshot software do you use?

I'm on my mac, so I use the built in Shift-Command-3 and I downloaded Paintbrush to do simple edits, I also have gimp for fun.

Ok, well if you care to know, I use puush to take bare screenshots and if I need to do some editing, then I use awesome screenshot, edit the pic and then take a screenshot with puush... (if that made any sense).

Coinbase isn't an exchange.  They actually take on a lot more risk than an exchange.  When they buy from you or sell to someone else, they may or may not have a matching buyer.  It means they take on some risk.  However, I'm sure they have a certain set of reserves so internally, they can minimize their risk between the buy and sell spread.

One thing that's interesting, which I did report to them, is that the sell price changes to a flat amount (nearest whole $100 amount) when you put in an amount of .0001.  They haven't responded to my bug report yet.

I haven't had that happen.

No, your supposed to just put 0.0001. Here is what it looks like at 1 btc:


This is at 0.0001:


Now this is interesting



The thing is that the min you can sell is 0.1 so after that they dont care...

Not that big of a spread.

I have implemented a feature on my (future) site where it gets the buy and sell prices. This is what its at right now:

Don't know why you are getting a $20 variance.

My site uses coinbases buy and sell calls from their API. I have no clue what going on...

Sounds like a bug in the code to generate the api contents then.

I have sent an email to them letting them know about this bug.

I dont think you are allowed to sell that low amount. Its probably not that high of a bug for them since you cant even sell at that low amount.

Why? What was the reason behind all this?

Just to spread FUD, dump coins, panic sell starts and rebuy cheap coins. Simply profit

Wow, so the reason behind this is money. I dont think they care even a tiny bit about bitcoin and the rest of the world.

2950  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are there so many DOGEcoins? Won't that make the value extremely low? on: December 09, 2013, 02:18:53 AM
I was wondering the same thing.

And why this coin is so attractive?

The value of each coin will be miniscule. Its actually not that attractive. Its just very east to mine so people will have thousands on them.
How easy? Easy enough to make some at .1 GH/s?

I guess. You will make maybe a thousand or something a day which will be worth a very little amount.
I'd do it for the fun, so as long as it will get something.

If I understood the bigger thread right, a guy is selling 2 mil for 0.1 BTC. We'll see how everything develops. I mean, the currency doesn't have a use as of now, and there's plenty of it. But if there's a huge base for it, I don't understand how the value wouldn't be at the least slightly even.

What is the current market value of DOGE?

Do you really have that many qt's on your computer?

I do. Not sure why you would ask though, since there are now over 100 different crypto-coins currently active.

What? I was just wondering if you installed that many wallets on your computer because some crypto currencies have trojans hidden somewhere.

What? Name one.

Not really sure but someone told me that it happened before. I was talking about mining alt currencies from coinchoose and he (or she) told me not to download random qt's.

Do you make money from this or do you just do it for fun in your spare time?
2953  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Bridgewalker acquired, Hive for Android in late Spring 2014 on: December 09, 2013, 01:38:57 AM
So now its a part of hive right? Will we be able to "connect" to out hive on our desktop and send money wirelessly?

Something like you suggest sounds like a big security risk. Probably they will be separate wallets with common goals.

Oh ok. What I'm saying is possible but would require you to have servers which would make hive somewhat of a online wallet which is probably something you don't want...
2954  Other / Beginners & Help / Coinbase constantly going down? on: December 09, 2013, 12:47:15 AM
Hi.

I have been noticing that coinbase constantly goes down. Its down right now, and it was down a few days ago. Is it just me or is it happening to you as well. This is starting to turn out like blockchain.info which goes down all the time. Wink
2955  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Just another noob wishing he jumped in the pool earlier on: December 09, 2013, 12:45:06 AM
yeah, read about BTC when 1 was worth ~ 13 USD. But I didnt buy any or started mining, then when they hit 100 I though well I should have bought @ 13, now I think I should have bought @ 100 ... well lets wait another year Wink

Grin Did you decide to buy any yet?
2956  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What does the China Bitcoin ban mean? on: December 09, 2013, 12:41:16 AM
It means that the prices should decrease now Smiley

Which it is. Why did they ban BTC in the first place?

No banning at all, just explaining Banks cannot open Bitcoin accounts for people or buy/sell Bitcoin

Why? What was the reason behind all this?
2957  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Stock Exchange data manipulation on: December 09, 2013, 12:34:21 AM
I would like to know this as well. If one excahnge changes their price, wouldnt all others? Otherwise it would obviously look fake.
Here is what I see going on with coinbase:

There is a $20 difference.

Exchanges don't set prices. The buyers and sellers set the prices.

The difference of $20 at Coinbase seems about right. Aren't you aware that Coinbase charges a 1% fee?

Yes, but I didnt really expect this kind of gap.
