Voted transparency, people will do what people do.  Best to let it happen, learn from it, figure out a defense and move on. If there is no defense then it's a flaw which will take it down sooner or later, and sooner is better than later. Issues of morality should come from the clients, and they can vote with their GH.

Yeah just getting it out there since he asked, source of the problem still needs to be fixed.

Squeaky wheel gets the oil.  It is annoying to have it down and up at any time of the day lately.

only thing that keeps price 'stable' at the moment are flaky mtgox APIs - they freeze reportning data, all btc economy freezes

they should do something about their APIs
mirroring, load balancing, cdn, whatever

they could offer premium real time for monthly subscription and keep the current crappy api reporting free

so many different options and methods to aproach it and make it smooth.

when big waves come, only thing holding us back are mtgox api's  - which will not be impressive in general public view

 Angry

their own mtgoxlive is a joke as of late

+1

is there a better charting site out there?  I understand the lag is going to originate with the gox data...but being able to zoom and scroll like I want would be nice, something like netdania?

If you really want to get his attention, you could always PM him a link to this thread.  If there is no answer, then that's an answer in itself. I do appreciate the sarcasm though, that's always nice.   
3286  Economy / Speculation / Re: Protect the money! on: January 06, 2012, 03:33:23 PM
No, I bought pretty much everything I wanted in the 2-3 range, more BTC then I ever imagined I'd have. But I marvel at the community during a moment like this.

Same, and yeah it's an odd feeling watching the price drop and rise and not really caring cause I'm so far ahead anyway.  Day trading is stressful. 
3287  Economy / Speculation / Re: Protect the money! on: January 06, 2012, 03:16:52 PM
Gotta love the panic dumps! Give us your cheap coins, then cry as the train leaves you behind!

Kinda missed the boat on cheap coins didn't ya?  Better late then never I suppose.

There are no bitcoin bears in this forum, only people who want to buy more BTC for less. When was the last time you joined a forum on a topic you think is destined to fail?

I'm with teflone, destined to fail?  I was bearish during the crash, but being bearish hardly means "thinks its going to fail".

The SA trolls are back at it again. You motherfuckers aren't going to come here to start shit anymore. People like me WILL start calling you pieces of shit out.

I'm gonna start my Troll hunting list, as the price goes up, except the animosity to increase guys. We have to handle these assholes RIGHT the first time...

You do realize reacting like this is EXACTLY what they want and are trolling for in the first place?

Can't recommend one since the one I'm using I got from a reseller friend at a great deal(can't say I'd pay full price for it, not that great).

Bingo.  When you spend enough time looking at the sky, even without a telescope if you aren't presently distracted by all the high tech shit in Western society (live for a few decades in a 3rd world country where there are no city lights clouding the sky), you'll see things a different way.  Mayans, Egyptians, and Sumerians got pretty goddamn accurate with their "astrology" if you ask me.

It's like if I were to say I can't see with my ears.  Ask a blind person.



Please feel free to enlighten us, and try to refrain from analogies like "seeing with your ears".  And don't bring older cultures into it, back in that time period astrology and astronomy were linked and almost interchangeable in their usage.  

Quote
At the end of the 17th century, new scientific concepts in astronomy (such as heliocentrism) began to damage the credibility of astrology, which subsequently lost its academic and theoretical standing. Astrology saw a popular revival in the 19th and 20th centuries as part of a general revival of spiritualism and later New Age philosophy, and through the influence of mass media such as newspaper horoscopes.[3]

While astrology may bear a superficial resemblance to science, it is a pseudoscience because it makes little attempt to develop solutions to its problems, shows no concern for the evaluation of competing theories, and is selective in considering confirmations and dis-confirmations


That's not astronomy.  It's astrology, astronomy is science and astrology is voodoo.  

I'd bet money astrology isn't bogus.

And, I'd bet a lot of it.

Also, how do you plan to win a bet proving astrology isn't bogus when astrology itself is a belief system, and can't really be disproven or proven (like religion).  

"Seeing with your ears" was chosen because that's essentially what happens subjectively.  I don't care that ears are not eyes.  Blind people adapt and they begin to use their ears for spatial recognition.  Do you think thoughts are also non-visual experiences?  I don't know about you, but I can see my thoughts clearly and vividly, especially if I focus on them.  Senses are interconnected.  Hold your nose and eat something; I bet it doesn't taste the same.  Or, notice how people turn down the music in their car when they are looking for addresses.  Why would people do this if hearing didn't influence your vision?

I'm not sure why you brought up religion.  I think you were trying to indirectly suggest that religions are based upon no evidence.  Even if that was true (check out East Asian religions, they are extremely scientific), not only is faith still the common denominator between science and religion -- or astronomy and astrology -- you can never say "prove" soundly with ANY inductive method of any kind.  But, I've had direct knowledge/experience of "God" (for lack of a better word), and I can't prove that to you.  It was self-evident.  The thing about evidence-based beliefs is this:  What one knows he cannot prove, and what one can prove he cannot know.





Really?  I ask for how astrology isn't bullshit with no analogies and this is what I get?  More explanations of a dumb analogy and some defense of something I didn't even say?

Indeed.  Of course seems like every time the market gets predictable it changes it up.

Just get shared hosting, the one I'm using even autoinstalls wordpress for you so all you have to do is log into your site and start posting.  Trying to run your own server will result in way more headache than the money you will save.   
3296  Economy / Speculation / Re: time to panic ? volume is low or time to rally on: January 05, 2012, 06:42:35 PM
I guess a stable BTC price is not an option.... ??

Not in a market driven by 90% speculation. 
3297  Economy / Speculation / Re: $7 today?!! on: January 05, 2012, 03:01:39 PM
I bought some so it must crash. Smiley


Hahahaha, thats how I feel, except I sold, so its going up.. it ALWAYS does..

Whats happening lately is good enough for me to hold for a while.  I think we'll see a rise to 10-15 before the next major correction.   
3298  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Questions? on: January 05, 2012, 01:22:52 PM
what happens if I use a wrong bitcoin adress to send bitcoins to ? Like i forget one number or letter ?
if the adress exists someone else willg et it clear, but if this is not existing will it not transfer ?

Normal client won't let you send to an address that doesn't conform to the bitcoin standards.  Getting a standard one with typos or whatnot isn't probably.  If you did, the coins would be gone, no way to get them back.  Until someone generates that address that is, they'll have a nice surprise waiting for them.

I didn't sell cause I bought in the 3-4 range.  I don't see it dropping below that anytime soon, the drop was just a minor correction to a premature rally (4.25-5.50 went way too fast).  I also don't think we'll see a huge jump in price either, at least for couple weeks.
