But the pumper and dumpers buy back at the new lower price, or sell the coins they brought at the new higher price.
So its not a one way trade that leaves them out of the game.
Not when the exchange those pumper and dumpers trade on gets hacked, then they lose the lot. |

Next upswing will crush the last ATH and the gold price in one sweep, it will be a historic event.
People couldn't believe it hit $1000 in 2013. Now they've had a few years to get used to the concept it might reach another price people can't believe. $10000 doesn't sound unreasonable. A 10x pump is a modest pump by Bitcoin's historical standards. |

Most people who book profit too early in a bubble end up being tempted to buy back in as they watch incredulously at a seemingly impossible rise. Even the great Newton wasn't immune to this.
There must have been people who sold at $140 at the start of the 2013 rally because the price had quickly doubled up from $70. Afterwards the best chance of buying back in they would get is at about $200 over a year later. I don't want to talk about how many I sold at $3 because the price had tripled. I was going to be making huge profits on my GPU mining at $1, so there was no way $3 was sustainable.  I heard about Bitcoin when you could CPU mine it, but thought it would never catch on. There must be thousands of people who missed out on a slice of the pie in the early days. On the positive side we might be like the early adopters in five years from now. People could be talking about milli Bitcoins the way we talk about Bitcoins by then. |

Problem at Bearswamp? ... looking a little sketchy over there?
That ramped series of walls will probably get pulled if people start buying into them quickly. Once they are gone stamp will be at a new ATH. Someone probably put them up in an attempt to avoid getting margin called elsewhere. |

That must be an encrypted version of the seed. If it was unencrypted it would be a series of English words.
Are you sure you never set a password at any point?
Either it's caused by a bug or you set a password (which deletes the English words and replaces them with one long line of characters).

My browser keeps losing the connection to bitcoinity. It's probably overloaded with all the extra people accessing it with each $10 more up. Is anyone else having problems with it?
it's doing something weird. i have to manually refresh or i don't get updates. must be a coping mechanism to deal with all the extra load. It's exactly the same for me, I have to refresh it every time I want to know the latest price. At least bitcointalk's holding up to all the extra load. Bitcoinity's fast at support. There's a banner notice on it now saying "I'm aware that page is not updating for some of you, trying my best to resolve that, sorry about the issue". It's back to working normally for me now. |

As I was going through the installation, I got to the display of the seed and the password prompt, but opted not to set a password as at this point
Maybe your wallet file got corrupted, but try these instructions in case your problem is due to a bug. If you didn't set a password then open your wallet file in notepad and look for the wallet seed. It should be written in plain text near the bottom next to the text "seed": If you installed electrum rather than used the portable version your wallet file should be in a hidden folder called appdata. To see it click the windows orb, then type %appdata% into the search box and press enter. Inside appdata open the roaming folder, then the electrum folder inside that. Your wallet file should be in a folder called wallets. |

I have someone trying to lay me odds on new ATH by Super Bowl Sunday. Thoughts?
Bitstamp's high of today is only $30 short of its ATH. I wouldn't bet against a new ATH higher than the Gox ATH by Super Bowl Sunday because the odds against it are too low. |

Maybe a bit late, but I am missing 83806 Blackcoins. Tried to withdraw them but I was too late, the proof is below.... How big is the chance of getting something back?  You could try contacting the liquidator liquidating Mintpal's assets. It appears to be still ongoing, so you might have a chance to get something back. I posted this in dogecoin subreddit today: I contacted the Insolvency Service about MooPay's case and was told this: If any one has claims, they can contact the liquidator liquidating MooPay's assets to pay creditors (people who lost coins would be creditors in the bankruptcy context): Graham Stuart Wolloff (of Elwell Watchorn & Saxton, LLP - 1 East Poultry Ave, London EC1A9PT, United Kingdom) and/or Liam Alexander (same law firm). Also, I was told if there were any concerns about the conduct of MooPay LTD or its officers, Mr. Brian Penn of the Receiver's Office could also be contacted ( Brian.Penn@insolvency.gsi.gov.uk). Again, contact these people if you hope to receive anything from MooPay's assets. Contacting these folks would be IN ADDITION to contacting Action Fraud. This is the latest liquidator's report dated 23 June 2016. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/09009856/filing-history/MzE1MzA3NzYyNWFkaXF6a2N4/document?format=pdf&download=0The bottom of page 3 says the Mintpal liquidator has not started accepting claims from the majority of people owed money yet. Any new liquidator reports should be posted here. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/09009856/filing-history |

I have a problem with this price rise:
As many people know, I fix people's bitcoin miners for bitcoin payments. Thus I have to account for my time, skills, experience, and material costs (damn FPGAs are expensive when they blow up). I price my work in bitcoin because I want this currency to have a reason to exist other than as a speculation thingie.
Problem is the fluctuations: If I charge .3btc for a service and bitcoin drops from 600 to 300 I don't want to raise my bitcoin prices so I kept them constant. Likewise if it goes from 600-1200 I don't want to change my prices for the same basic reason (I'm doing work for a certain amount of bitcoin). But if it keeps going haywire, what do I do? What's fair? And at what point am I simply doing work for dollars instead of Bitcoin?
It's complex.
GM! 1100.00 anyone?  Ya if you keep your fixed BTC rate your customers will go pay cash somewhere else.... cheaper than the fixed rate in BTC. Somewhere along the line you do need to compensate for your rates when BTC was low and you took the hit. I would reward myself a little extra for as long as you can, after all, the miners you maintain would not benefit the owners if they were not running  He could charge in dollars though bitpay, and keep the Bitcoin as long as the price keeps rising. If the price starts falling he could receive in dollars and buy back Bitcoins during the dips. Or he could choose what percentage to receive in Bitcoin, and what percentage to receive in dollars. There is the risk Bitpay could get hacked again though. https://help.bitpay.com/getting-paid/bitcoin-settlementEnter your bitcoin address name and the bitcoin address, then select your settlement percentage (how much of your settlements you would like to receive in form of bitcoin). Then click "Save." |

Thanks for the answer.
Why should my wallets with different receiving address show the balance of a removed wallet with another address ?
The question is whether the Seed ( which should be the same for all wallets, although the original is removed? ) is enough to restore my removed wallet.
And if, how i can do so.
If your wallet app still has the same original seed you could install the headless wallet from https://github.com/byteball/headless-byteball and follow the dev's instructions for writing your seed into its keys.json file. <snip> Thanks for helping me out. So currently how would you import the seed? Is it hard or impossible? I am trying to gauge how to secure my investment on release as I am not convinced by the redundant access theory TBH. A secure paper wallet generator would really solve most of my issues. Thank you for you time . Pablo. It is possible but rather involved. One way to restore from the seed is by installing the headless wallet https://github.com/byteball/headless-byteball. It stores the seed in a file keys.json in its data directory. Run the wallet once to see the format of the file (it'll generate new keys the first time it runs), then delete all data and recreate keys.json from your saved seed. It should see the balance, then you can move the entire balance from the headless to a GUI wallet via chat commands. You can control the headless wallet from the GUI wallet through remote control chat commands and send its balance to another address. https://github.com/byteball/headless-byteballRemote controlYou can remotely control your wallet via chat interface from devices listed in control_addresses. When the wallet starts, it prints out its pairing code. Copy it, open your GUI wallet, menu button, paired devices, add a new device, accept invitation, paste the code. Now your GUI wallet is paired to your headless wallet and you can find it in the list of correspondents (menu, paired devices) to start a chat. There are three commands you can give: balance: to request the current balance on the headless wallet; address: to get to know one of the wallet's addresses, you use it to refill the wallet's balance; pay <amount in bytes> to request withdrawal from the headless wallet to your payout_address.  |

I believe it will work, just wait another 12 hours. If I'm right, this was just a tiny dump, a larger one should follow in about 12 hours. But you predicted a pump to about 1100$ on New Year's day. You got up early for it, but it took another four days to go that high. What makes you think you can be so accurate today when your New Years's day prediction was out by four days? I am expecting, in a couple of hours, the last pump of this rally, taking us to about 1100$, spending a couple of days there before crashing 40%. To be sure of catching it, I had to wake up early on the 1st January, grrr...  If it does crash I think it will be a small correction, not a 40% correction. It could carry on up past the Gox ATH without many downs. |

Theymos warned us all that our email addresses, password hashes, and secret questions leaked to an attacker over a year ago. You should change your password if you haven't already done so. Don't try accessing your account using your secret question because theymos has set the forum to lock any account that does so (as the attacker has our secret questions). On May 22 at 00:56 UTC, an attacker gained root access to the forum's server. He then proceeded to try to acquire a dump of the forum's database before I noticed this at around 1:08 and shut down the server. In the intervening time, it seems that he was able to collect some or all of the "members" table. You should assume that the following information about your account was leaked:
- Email address
- Password hash (see below)
- Last-used IP address and registration IP address
- Secret question and a basic (not brute-force-resistant) hash of your secret answer
- Various settings
As such, you should change your password here and anywhere else you used that same password. You should disable your secret question and assume that the attacker now knows your answer to your secret question. You should prepare to receive phishing emails at your forum email address.

Bitstamp wants it.  We are starting to move a bit fast... I hope that buy support can keep up with this pace... Kid, you ain't seen nothing if you think this is fast. You just wait. The Bitstamp ATH was $1163, and today's Bitstamp price is $1076. If it goes another $87 higher it will reach the Bitstamp ATH. |

Is there way to get back the coins.
Almost 3btc plus was lost in Cryptsy ?
You can fill out the receiver's form at this link. http://cryptsyreceivership.com/registration/It's not exactly a claim form, it's for giving the receiver details of what funds you had on cryptsy. |

Looks like the FT article is behind a paywall and they don't seem to take bitcoin.
*yawn*
To get past the FT paywall, you can google "bitcoin site:ft.com". Clinking on the returned links bypasses the paywall. Works for WSJ and others as well. I checked the ft paywall and they don't accept Bitcoin as payment. They only take credit card, paypal, or direct debit. Someone should tell them to accept Bitcoin. |
