what sites are you all following except mtgoxlive and clark moody ?

 I notice only 59 users on clark moody now, that's rather little ?

I used to use them back when I was able to deposit in any Wells Fargo bank, do they still offer this?

And the fact that they only do ING P2P deposits, least last I've checked.

you're kidding, I hope?  a trendline that flattens...

what the... really?!?

EDIT: "bitfloor -- a glimpse of the future"

Strong hands sell when the masses are panic buying.  

Haha, holy shit I did not know this. Did he buy it from zhou or did zhou dump the code?

Currently it's fully centralized and closed source, so you have to use the ripple.com web client. OpenCoin says they will open it "soon".

"GoldMoney and Bullion Vault use ViaMat for storage. Many of the retail storage facilities, at the end, use ViaMat to store metals.
Although playing right into the hands of the bankers, there is no evidence that this is a backdoor way of mass market drive-by-shooting to occur in Bitcoin, just as it does in silver.
As essentially a new “exchange,” Coinlab can now technically enable just a few individuals or organization to trade and sell on the exchange without Bitcoin backing their trade, since they could, technically, BE the exchange.  So, my concern is that this could be the entrance of 33 Liberty into the Bitcoin market to sell BTC they do not have and, as silver vigilantes will know, tank the price."


"You think Bitcoin price above silver price has not been acknowledged by High Finance? It’s likely, contrarily, they know what’s going on, and they are not pleased with this new p2p currency stealing headlines, allowing the entire world to ignore fiat in real time, now, today. Nothing short of a 51% attack on the network can allow them to control the price.  The dominant financial system must protect itself from $100 Bitcoin prices as large-scale investors move into the market. Marketing this new advent as a bank, the place to store your Bitcoin, the Bitcoin community has to acknowledge that the Powers That Be will need a mechanism (bank/exchange) to control our beloved BTC price. There is merely not enough supply at these new levels to sustain any sort of serial million dollar investments without really moving the price.  Check the Mt. Gox tick chart, the price was knocked from $34.80 to $33.15  off 22,000 BTC sold in around one hour; that means only $748,000 in BTC needed to be moved in one hour to move the price 4.75%. That is 6.1 days worth of BTC supply.
Or maybe I’m just missing the point?"


What im a saying is not a tinfoil hat argument... its a very valid argument that every US Citizen must be aware of. Especially if you refinanced your house to invest the money in bitcoin ;P

The distribution of XRP is certainly an interesting problem, I look forward to seeing how OpenCoin and the devs choose to distribute them freely once they are out of Beta testing.

I'm feeling generous, post your address and i'll send ya some.

I was talking more about oDesk, ClickBank, OpenX Market, etc. Businesses that now conduct operations in fiat and pay out to independent contractors. If enough contractors, publishers and affiliates ask to be paid in bitcoins, and they comply, it becomes much easier to work directly for bitcoins even if your customers pay in fiat.

XRP are irrelevant.. hence why i never mentioned it. I got enough for a lifetime of Rippling.. why would I pay more than 1 satoshi for them?

As of no i wont allow reversals in 99% of the cases but i am planning to build up a budget from the fees and offer that service maybe later. If someone was scammed and can proof and the scammer still has funds on his account a reversal is possible, but unlikely.. at least in the near future. I really want to take too many big risks right at the start, things will come later on i am sure, but not as of now.
But for security i am planning to introduce two more layers for "trust":

- Escrow
Dont have to say much about this, do I?

- User verification
I will start offering this service sometime next week. It is basically, although i know its a bad thing to compare to, the same mechanism as in GLBSE. I am planning to offer verification of users by accepting some credentials form them, like telephone number or snail mail address, Skype (..whatever, the exact things i have not yet decided on) and mark them as trusted users in addition to the ranking system. Chances are just better the more verified users are that they are more trusted. And before people ask: No i will neither store nor sell nor do anything beyond verifying the existence of users  with private data. BUt I think i will just go so far as to verify phone, skype, snail mail and maybe some picture ID.. we will see about that. Still have to decide about that like i said.

One small feature to add to sendbitcoins is "Subscriptions" for recurring payments that get payed, like the paypal api offers, every so and so days interval until either stopped or the user having no mor emoney on his account.
Another thing i am thinking about is an accountless payment. Instead of logging in you get an address and pay it. IPN notification is withheld until the payment has confirmed 4 times and then gets verified.. still have to see if that somehow breaks APIs i test with.

Here is an updated chart about bitcoin's future.  This is an all time chart so that you can see what I'm talking about.  You can see the big picture with this one. 

Exactly.  All those freelancers working for oDesk, eLance, Freelancer.com, etc, should be beating the drum for bitcoin.

What would cause that to happen faster is a competing service that starts to take share of the talent pool by using bitcoins as a competitive advantage over the alternatives.

Hi I wonder if there are any statistics script with bitcoin to insert into a blog or website?

  as can be done to collect the statistics of bitcoin, trouble, value, amount of bitcoins, ect ..

You have no control over the direction of the bitcoin exchange rate.   If it stops rising (like it did for many months until June 2012) or heads the other direction, you not only don't earn anything you lose value.  

Some traders are good (or lucky) at determining a move up or down and can profit by actively trading it and making money when it goes their way, but everyone else holding coins sees declining purchasing power when the rally ends.

So,if you have an approach that consistently generates profits, that is much more valuable than seeking speculative gains that you have no control over.  You might find excess USD profits make a good way to add to a BTC position.  But remember that revenue and profit-generating ventures aren't always possible to build or find so if speculating on bitcoins comes at the expense of that venture, that might not be the wisest turn to make.
