When I want to calculate the proper price I sit in a teepee with burning rubber until I see visions, then extrapolate from that what I need to do.

Hah, that's the first thing I did when I became a moderator, is look at all his old threads in the staff forum.

It has to be the cognitive dissonance that won’t allow him to turn up here anymore. Or maybe shame.

think of ALL the Bears who were raging here just a month ago.  we even have one for a forum moderator.

Raging? lol  Not quite, I don't get as emotional as you do  Wink  I would call myself cautiously bullish. 
3326  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Anyone else having trouble with the DWOLLA website? on: January 01, 2012, 12:45:00 AM
So I have to create a linked website?Huh

I found this in my browsing history
https://www.dwolla.com/error.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/account

But a few minutes earlier it was gobbledygook code with something like server.error listed in it.

Hit the PRTSC/SYSRQ button on the error page, open up Paint, press CTRL+V, press CTRL+S save it on your desktop (preferably a .png), then visit an image share site like http://imgur.com/ (or TinyPictures >.>).

Or....
Download something like http://gyazo.com/en or http://puush.me/ and just run the program, click and drag an area of your screen then you can auto-share it. Cheesy
www.imgur.com also has a screenshot tool with automatic uploading, selective or fullscreen.

By the way, in my opinion what he did should be called market manipulation and is criminal.

I though Zhou did a pretty good job with Bitcoinica, up until that point. I don't think I'll ever use it after that. Not that there was a high chance I would have used it anyway.

Someone in his position should not be saying some of the things that were said, whether it was obvious to the market or not.

I apologize for the words that shouldn't come from the mouth of a broker. I was too angry (or maybe excited) dealing with the flood of non-sense and unreasonable arguments. Really, it was beyond my logical control.

Please do not take it as a market recommendation. I just wanted to tell everyone that I was not going to take advantage of the possibility, and anyone who did would be out of my responsibility.

you know what?  i'm tired of being nice to you just b/c you're a 17 yo kid.  f*ck you prick!

i've rooted out several valid problems with the way Bitcoinica functions.  while i had to do some catching up with exactly how your service works b/c its so opaque, it turns out that most of my suspicions are real. 

and i would posit that NO ONE around here knew that your service could freeze up like this and prevent shorts and longs from covering or buying due to a red flag event.  too bad your short clients will have to be liquidated.  its either you or them who will take losses Zhou.  who will you choose?

the fact that you're constantly having to "revise" your algorithm is testament to this.  the fact that i was able to jam your algorithm as up to 4.95 10d ago is fact, not fiction.

you need to keep your mouth shut.

Good lord calm down man.

Why did tradehill decide not to cooperate with this blacklisting thing?  Was it the moral hazard?

Because they shouldn't.  Mt. Gox is wrong.

There is no way to know the party in possession of the coins is the thief.

Thief steals coins.
Thief says I will give you 100K BTC for an equivalent amount of gold.
Thief has already profited, you have given up gold and are holding coins.  If those coins are worthless (or worth less in value) because of some merchants belief they have a God given right to be the Bitcoin Police then it undermines the entire system.

TL/DR version.
A bitcoin is only worth a bitcoin by consensus.  People deciding some bitcoins are worth more than other Bitcoins is not only idiotic it undermines the entire system. 


Agreed.  At least they aren't "confiscating" them or returning to the previous holder.  Slippery slope though.

This already happened once before, I've been searching but I can't find it, just tons of results about the original theft (it was allinvains coins).

I won't support Kiva, heard too many bad things about their lending partners and their loan shark ways.  The wikipedia lists their interest rates and some are over 50%.  Yep, helping those poor third worlders all right.  

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiva_%28organization%29#Interest_rates_2

Wholly crap you are right, maybe btc would allow kiva to bypass the field partners altogether and offer 0% interest rates.

That would be pretty cool.

I didn't know about Kiva either until someone told me a few months ago, I was gonna donate until then. And yeah, that would be cool. Depends on whether or not they actually do any lending, looks like they are just a middleman doing the pr and organizing, outsourcing the actual lending to subcontractors. At least a couple have decent rates, but a lot are 30%+, with one as high as 62%.  Maybe the person who posted that thread can chime in on how they operate. 

A lot of good options there too, maybe start with the smaller ones.  It'll be easier to convince them if you are talking to the guy who can actually make decisions.

I really didn't want to get involved but honestly LoupGaroux you should get sued or at the very least be given a nice punch in the face for your smug attitude. Who are you to tell me to fuck off. You don't know me.  I make my own mind up, from what I have seen with my own eyes.

You call him a theif? But he sent money to shakaru for games cards that is a fact, the cards were not sent that is also a fact, shakaru refuses to refund the money now. How is astana a theif? That money is not his to keep, if he does not return it well astana is 100% right.

Oh man, I'll never get tired of legal threats on the internet.  And people who can't read.

I just disabled marquee board-wide. I don't see any use for it.

Oh good, that was annoying. 
3336  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 2012 according to the Mayan calendar on: December 28, 2011, 01:32:45 PM
Have watched the movie "2012" months ago. We're almost there. Could this really happen?
Could what really happen, a movie about a cluster of natural disasters?


Go watch the movie.


Or don't, terrible movie.  And no the world isn't gonna end just cause the mayans didn't make an infinite calendar. 
3337  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Extra 2 TH/s of cacapcity now where is it mining at? on: December 27, 2011, 03:53:13 PM

Cleaned it up, keep the fighting/bashing out of here.  Nobody wants to read that. 
3339  Other / Off-topic / Re: Last post before 6/1/2012 wins 5 BTC... and who knows how much that will be on: December 26, 2011, 03:20:15 PM
Which means no one is getting 10 bitcoin, if I'm not mistaken.

Indeed, he would have to be aware of it to be paying out for the deletion of it.
