3601  Economy / Digital goods / Re: Can I ask an opinion on selling domains? on: January 31, 2014, 08:26:28 PM
Depending on the domain, you can list it with sedo.com among others if you don't want to just sell it here - they are just one of the larger ones.  They do take a cut though if they sell it.   They specialize in handling the listings and can do auctions or whatever.  If it is bitcoin specific, you should obviously let people know here, depending on the name.

Whatever you do, do not rely on those automatic web site calculators of domain value because they are not very reliable except to get a lower bound on it.  As you pointed out, the value is in the name as it can be developed, not on traffic now.  A vacant lot in London won't get a millionth of the traffic a lot with a 50 story building in London.  So, if you get someone who does not understand the difference between a 30 meter by 30 meter vacant lot in the middle of Montana and a 30 meter by 30 meter vacant lot in the middle of London or NY they'll never give you a good price. 

If you give us the name (or PM it) I'm sure that there will be plenty of people who'd be able to give you an idea on the value.

Yawn ...

... wouldn't it be great if people had to actually know what they were talking about before being asked to speak publicly? BTW what does it mean when someone puts "Jr." after their name, Jerk?

They used to say (even though it is not always true, but still funny):  "Jerk = Junior Educated Rick Kid".

Greece Is Back: Germany, France, Creditors Hold Secret Meeting Due To Greek Bailout "Mounting Concerns"
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-01-31/greece-back-germany-france-creditors-hold-secret-meeting-due-greek-bailout-mounting-

(reported in WSJ too).

Quote
There was a time - roughly between May 2010 and the spring fall of 2011 - when all the world had to worry about was Greece. Then the realization finally dawned that since a Grexit from the Eurozone would kill the EUR and the European integration dream with so much "political capital" invested, crush Deutsche Bank, and bring back the much dreaded (by German exporters) Deutsche Mark, it became clear that there is no fear that Greece, which is now a decrepit shell of a country with a collapsed economy and society in shambles, has now become a slave state to European bureaucrats, business and banks (in Nigel Farage's words), will never be formally kicked out of Europe and only an internal coup would allow it to finally break free from the clutches of unelected European tyrants. And then the world moved on to more important things: like Japan, China Emerging Markets and how they are all enjoying the Fed's taper. Sadly, we have to report, that Greece is once again baaaaack.  ...

thats even better ,if theres a limited timeframe the chinese will buy like crazy and drive up the price again

lol. maybe. bubbles tend to end in tears though. let's see how it plays out over the next few weeks.

I think that there are enough smart people in China who will think that if the government is this scared of bitcoin, there must be some value there. :-)

Have you checked the transactions to see if there is a common web wallet you can locate? If non-web, there aren't many options to test..
3608  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Gavin Andresen Sincere when he says he cares deeply about privacy in Bitcoin? on: January 31, 2014, 08:44:48 AM

The good thing is that zerocoin can be added later to bitcoin once released and tested. Privacy and anonymity are extremely important.  Coinjoin, dark wallet etc are all parts of the puzzle.
3609  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTCchina IS BACK, bank deposits restored!!! on: January 30, 2014, 02:16:43 PM
We need confirmation that this is incorrect, preferably in a foreign language source (russian or chinese for best confirmation)

Obviously it is not true, BTC is over in china, and on the 31st it will crash.

Bitcoin has already crashed. on the 31st it will do nothing. dont you get it?


Lol, it's far from ''crashed''.
It will at least drop to the 350-450 range.


I think that chinese that wanted out before new year got out. Today is the last banking day of this year and all withdraws made tomorrow won't arrive before the 1st. I don't know if this news are real or not, what I do think is that if it actually "crashes" during the weekend it will be a lame attempt of manipulation.

I don't think it will last much longer than the silkroad "crash". If its not banned it will be seen as good news. But I think if its banned its even better. This because btc has no frontiers. If chinese actually banned btc a black market will appear. Btc will be sold overpriced to take money out of the country. Once all btc from china are bought, they will be force to actually take money out of china to buy them. People with an excess in they early fiat leak will use that to buy them, whereas people that actually need to transfer more money abroad will buy other people excess in the form of btc. After this point price will skyrocket.

Right now I'm getting more bullish by the hour. If you have a better theory elaborate it  Tongue


smart investors in China bought Bitcoin because it cant be regulated. why would they let go now? every new law imposed against them makes it more valuable, and more proven, and more desirable.
smart investors and officials in America realise they have no better alternative than to back Bitcoin, and are going to make the best of it.
my 2 cents.


This.  Smart people in China kept it as a hedge against the authoritarian rulers
3610  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin vulnerability on: January 30, 2014, 02:14:15 PM
This is all FUD. The parameters in the code EK wants you to use are like saying "pick an integer between 2 and 4 and I'll guess it in one guess"  Vs saying "pick an integer between one and a trillion and I'll guess it in 1 guess."

Just like with the android PRNG bug, if you limit the search space you can easily search it. It is self evident. There is a good thread in the tech and dev section which details why it isn't an issue unless you use bad (or limited) code to generate keys.

The statement that it isn't making progress at night makes Mike's statement almost assuredly the answer.

If you do a "get info" on bitcoin in the Finder, see what the checkbox for Prevent App Nap shows.
3612  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin-QT **VERY** Slow to Acquire Blockchain in OS X Mavericks? on: January 29, 2014, 01:40:27 PM
I resync'd the blockchain on a 2011 Mac Mini running Mavericks and it took about 72 hours.

You did the things I'd have suggested off the top of my head, but can you see the number of connections you have? What does activity monitor say? Does qt show anything in the console?

(This should probably go in a different section, btw. :-)  )

It is a free for all in here now - no one follows the guidelines and the mods don't care.  When you start following them, then feel free to criticize others in here.
You see someone drop litter on the street so you decide it's fine to start shitting everywhere?

It's an interesting article but it's in the wrong section.

In this case, yes. 1. To make a point, and 2. To encourage people to follow the guidelines by illustrating the absurdity of having them when no one follows them since discussions about it go nowhere.

But it made the point so I'll move it from Press

No mention of bitcoin, but that seems not to matter anymore.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/29/business/international/stress-on-turkish-currency-eases-before-central-banks-emergency-session.html?_r=0

FRANKFURT — Turkey’s central bank aggressively raised rates late Tuesday, in a drastic move designed to bolster the currency. But it is unclear whether the move will be enough to satisfy international investors and repair the central bank’s reputation.

The decision comes as Turkey faces increased political and economic pressure to take action. The Turkish lira has been among the most battered of developing-market currencies in recent weeks. Following the central bank’s decision, the lira strengthened in after-hours trading.

...

Since the middle of last year, when the Federal Reserve sent tremors through international financial markets by announcing that it would pull back from its bond-buying program, Turkey has become a charter member of the “fragile five” — the finance industry’s recently minted nickname for emerging economies with vulnerable currencies.

Other countries in this club include Brazil, South Africa, Indonesia and India. Such countries are highly dependent on skittish foreign investors to finance their growth ambitions. The Fed’s plans, which portended higher interest rates in the United States, made dollar-denominated debt seem more attractive compared with the higher-yield, higher-risk debt of the fragile five.

Hello, I'm newbie for BTC.

At last weekends, there were somethings wrong with my avalon miner. When I visited the website of  wr703n, the Cgminer API Log shown:
Quote
"

cgminer: 176747f
cgminer-openwrt-packages: 0e12b1b
luci: 346e3e7
Socket connect failed: Connection refused
"

I had reflash the 703n and control unit, boths the image were downloaded from avalon wiki. But it also shown failed.

Before last weekends, the suit of avalon miner run correctly.

hello there. did you solve this?

Did anyone solve this?

No I wouldn't accept them.  I check the serial number of every dollar bill in my wallet against the national database of stolen money  (Library of Laundering).  The LOL also tracks terrorist funds digitally and I refuse to take that.  Unfortunately it means I send most of my paycheck back and I'm totally broke.

LOL L.O.L.

What happens with regard to tainted electrons that power the banking system?  :-)
