BitcoinAverage's historical data is being used by http://libratax.com/ for their accounting software, referencing us for their 'fair market value' Nice! I also notice that google recently added a btc price to it's currency conversion service. Do you know if they're using your api or calculating it some other way? They are using Coinbase for price index . Too bad, not that coinbase is bad, but bitcoinaverage seems like a better option for an overall view. How did you figure out they were using coinbase? |

Cutting ranks below sr also makes since from the perspective of the actual size of the advert you're buying. I hope he keeps payperpost.

Changes are coming to the signature campaign. Will work on getting payments sent within next 12 hours and then make an announcement once I've decided what I'd like to adjust. Will update main post in twelve hours.
Announcements announcing another announcement in X time is enough to make me worried for X time. Hope you can find a good deal to everyone. And I think it will be the fastest payout ever made by PD Well, he should indeed hurry up as if you look at the bitcoin charts it's really violate. It's still the 17th in some timezones. I think you're going to have to wait at least until after the 17th passes. Last month payments went out on 18-19th. Bitcoin prices are always volitile. Don't worry. Finally, my question: Stunna was talking a while ago about restructuring the campaign. I'm assuming that since there's no news on that front on the OP, all is going to stay the same for August-September. Any folks know better? EDIT: nvmd, just saw the update from stunna that he's going to post some news in a half a day or so. |

 Longest running and most trusted signature campaign. I'm just seeing "invalid image proxy" at the top of the OP. EDIT: now it looks fine! |

Please send from Blockchain.info wallet or ANY desktop client. All other wallets are not guaranteed to work (shared wallets, we can't see your address to send payments to, payments basically are sent to the wallet provider)
This makes it sound like you ARE guaranteeing blockchain.info and ANY desktop client...a bold promise! |

According to the stats page, there are 350419 members and 8293716 posts, meaning an average post count of 24. Since activity is always lower than post count, that means the mean user is a Newbie-level. Thanks for the link to the stats page, I've been looking for that! |

I still think that you may want to simply meet up with other buyers/sellers in person. That way you can negotiate a direct price without any fees. Obviously this may not work for "i need to sell in the next 20 minutes" but if you have a day or so you can probably work something out.

OK just bought my first BTC investment to test the waters!
Now I have a question I'm in the UK and I've bought from Bittylicious, tho it's very easy and fast to use it's quite a lot of money over price market paid a good £20 quid over . Now is that the usual fee or are there cheaper ways to trade my fiat for BTC in the UK I feel I'm paying a Premium for the service and I admit it's a good service so far.
Now another question is what is the easiest safest way to cash out back to fiat? Im planning on investing on 4 or 5 BTC then hodl for a few years or so but if in a emergency I need to cash out what's the easiest way ATM and will I have to pay a PREMIUM again?
Thank you for your help .
If you live in London or near a major metro area I'd say look into localbitcoins or look on craigslist for a face-to-face exchange. This can be the nicest way to avoid premiums and fees and whatnot. It's not really an option for folks that live in the rural areas but if you're in a city I say why not meet up with someone in-person? |

Same thread at 1000, 900, 850, 800, 750, 700, 650, 600, 550, 500, .... I see a pattern.
^^^This. actually, I agree though  Ok, also this^^^. However, I'm just saying that all the hype threads are a little silly. There are bull hypers and there are bear hypers. In order to do any serious thinking you have ignore all the hypers. |

The regulators will win, they will make money off bitcoin regulation, and the utility of bitcoin will be destroyed.
This is why the price continues to drop despite the millions of dollars of fiat being poured into bitcoin startup ventures.
Please God or somebody else prove me wrong.
The destruction of bitcoin value will be incredible to watch. *pulls up chair, grins*  OleOle, I love the omg guys! Nultidah, well NY can say "anyone in the world has to X" but obviously that's only enforcable on people reachable by the authorities of NY. If for some reason coinbase or companies in California decide to go along, that's their decision. I'm not too worried about NY taking over bitcoins, but then again I don't use coinbase anyway. I can see why it's worth it to leave them because of this decision. |

Totally agree that current generation cryptos are all doomed, but the problems can be fixed if we see some real innovation in alts. There is the possibility of making our own decentralised global identity system.
But this possibility seems pretty scary to me. I'm supposed to put my global idenity into some sort of decentralized information network. I worry about things like: what if this network is overthrown, who is organizing it? More importantly, what if the information in this network is used against me? Ie, people with X, Y, or Z characteristics are deemed unworth to A, B or C. I'm not saying such a thing won't come to pass, I just don't see it in our lifetimes. Who knows, maybe in some future generations though. |

At least in my country, storing money in a bank is mainly trustworthy because of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under which deposits to accredited banks are ensured by the USGovt even if the bank fails. Before the FDIC, putting money under a mattress was a reasonable solution. Longer term people would buy precious metal or whatever. I just cant get on board with you that in the future, taking responsibility for yourself will be outdated.
But don't you want the whole money chain to be trustless? That's what I think we will have in the future. Instead of banks or mattresses the money will be stored on a distributed block chain. And instead of managing private keys, there will be a global user ID system that will keep the money safe and connected to individuals anonymously. I could be wrong. Such user ID system is easier said than done. Biometrics can be shaky and counterfeit. ID cards can be stolen. Tricky problem. We will see. Maybe you are right! That there will always be necessary to manage the security of private property oneself or having to trust a third party. I think I finally understand where you are coming from on this. However, I thing that the kind of "trustlessness" that you're talking about isn't really trustless, it's just trusting in a community. Indeed, I think this is a powerful idea. And you might be right about some eventual implementation, I'm not convinced though. Anyway, I'm glad I finally understand what kind of thing you're referring to. |

Can anyone summarize what's going on with this bitlicense. I see references to coinbase (a california company) and some kind of state or local laws, also something about personal information. Is this having to do with a software license?
Coinbase is pretending the bitlicense regulation has passed already and is voluntarily collecting all of their buyers' information (which is why I stopped buying bitcoin from them). Put simply, BitLicense would make anybody who deals with bitcoin anywhere in the world have to register their personal information with the state of New York. Bitcoin merchants would have to pay a fee and apply for a license to exchange bitcoin, unless you're a giant megabank already, in which case you are exempt from having to pay the licensing fee. Interesting. However, the fact that apparantly it's a New York State law means that it would realy only be enforcable upon businesses located or headquartered in NY. Right? |

Hey guys! I came up with an idea for a PD3 social network/sharing site. I will start the programming part as soon as I get my new laptop!  Cool nahtnam ! U can always pm me to see ur work in progress . I liked primedice.info . primedice.info was a flop. No one used it, and it served no purpose. I have a much better idea that people can actually use! Can you catch a noob up on what primedice.info was *supposed* to do? And how the new idea is different? Also, mods, not trying to troll with those error messages, I figured they'd be helpful to people working on bugs. CDRproblems can be annoying. |

I'm getting this again and again in my js console on chromium. Chat's not updating and I suppose this has something to do with it: Part of this is related cross-domain resource requests. |

I'm looking at it in a long-term perspective. As a comparison, to have to keep one's computer safe oneself is also incredibly old tech from that perspective. The usability of information technology will become much better. Even having to install apps on a smartphone is very old and cumbersome tech.
I guess you're a kind of a prophet, or there's something in your version of the future that hasn't made it into mine. I keep my own computer safe because no one else has a vested interest in keeping my computer safe like I do. When I buy a smartphone the first thing I do is erase everything in memory and install cyanogenmod---why? because I've inspected the source code and I can control what I put on or take off. Oftentimes, I download the cm source code and modify it to my needs before I put it on my phone. Who else is going to do that for me? I don't really know what you mean about "old and cumbersome tech". For me, it really sounds like you're saying something along these lines: Having to choose what you are going to eat for dinner is very old and cumbersome tech. In a happy future, you can just allow a company or institution to choose your dinner according to a correctly balanced nutritional profile. However, in my world, choosing what apps to install, what pictures to back up, what plants to put in my garden, what to eat for dinner isn't "old and cumbersome", it's what makes me me! I don't want to agree that choosing things for yourself is an old and cumbersome way to live. How many people store money under the mattress today? Sure, storing money in the bank is also old-fashioned compared to the future. The trustless part of cryptocurrencies is a major step forward. But trusting oneself isn't trustlessness. That's why I consider having to manage security oneself will sooner or later become outdated. At least in my country, storing money in a bank is mainly trustworthy because of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under which deposits to accredited banks are ensured by the USGovt even if the bank fails. Before the FDIC, putting money under a mattress was a reasonable solution. Longer term people would buy precious metal or whatever. I just cant get on board with you that in the future, taking responsibility for yourself will be outdated. |

Yup, I don't trust "self-moderated" threads at all. I figure half discussion is surpressed on any such thread.
