I bought some more mining shares then. And may god have mercy on my soul.  Cry

Recommend you read this thread:

It covers some important topics and details various points of view.

Love your site. Thank you!

A suggestion for a new chart:

My Wallet Number of Active Users

Definition:

The number of my wallet users who sent or received BTCitcoin in the past week.


This will give a much clearer picture of changes in usage on an aggregate basis.

Thank you in advance for considering it.  Smiley

47  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: GPU mining is dead now. on: July 03, 2013, 04:59:32 PM
I powered down a couple of smaller miners about two weeks ago. I use the computers for other things, and I'm certain the heat will cause lifetime issues with them. That coupled with the fact that they were only returning about 0.0005 daily just made it no longer worth while. Besides, they just can't compete with ASIC miners.
48  Economy / Goods / Re: [WTS] Silver/Gold Bullion/Coins & Numismatics In Almost All Forms You Desire on: June 25, 2013, 04:40:08 AM
I'm interested in Silver Maple Leafs. Price by the 25 pack, preferably mint sealed or repacked for ship, ship to near zip 82801.

Also interested in the early roman denarius you spoke about. I'd like to have one of those for my collection. Might you have another available in a reasonable condition (G - F)? At what price?

What about American Buffalos?

TradeFortress,

Just a couple of suggestions on the site:

Can you remove the Captcha once 2FA has been enabled? The extra step is a bit of a pain and completely unnecessary.

Also, do you provide a way to disable 2FA? Other sites allow you to put your current 2FA in a field in settings and click a disable button to disable it. That's probably a good idea.

Thanks for a great site and great way to receive interest on BTCitcoin!

Will you take offers, or are your prices firm?
51  Economy / Securities / Re: Where can I find Market Cap Data for BTC Securities? on: June 14, 2013, 05:53:11 PM
Make sure to pass by the various exchanges to add up the numbers since some assets are listed on more than one exchange.

This is my primary concern - capturing all of the outstanding direct shares.  There doesn't seem to be a location providing this data.

Also, I don't want to capture pass-through shares.   Their market cap is pretty small, almost by definition.  Any US entity selling pass-through shares is obviously engaged in risky business, but a pass-through seller probably doesn't have any ability to comply with the securities laws anyway.

Marco,

52  Economy / Goods / Re: [WTS] lot of 18 1oz Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Rounds (.9999 fine) [LOWER PRICE] on: June 13, 2013, 10:51:01 AM
I'm interested, at BTC4.0 for all 18, including shipping and insurance. I'm in USA. I'd pay for escrow if we decide we need it.

This isn't intended to be a "low ball" offer, but a reasonable one that I can live with at current pricing and trends.
53  Economy / Securities / Re: Has anyone noticed a correlation between BTC price and Bitfunder stocks? on: June 12, 2013, 08:56:39 PM
Yes, possible correlation noticed. No time to get concrete statistics on it. I have traded based upon the idea. Either I'm lucky (I am, but that's a whole other story.), or it works somewhat.

So the fact that I'm lucky means that there probably really isn't a correlation. Too Bad!  Cheesy
54  Economy / Economics / Re: Inflation and Deflation of Price and Money Supply on: June 12, 2013, 05:58:29 AM
After pages of reading some very good economic banter, one thing that seems to have NOT been discussed is Bitcoin offers an unprecedented
historical opportunity in regards to Deflation.

Deflation has had some real negative effects in the past, depending on your circumstances. Anyone (like the government) who OWES money in a deflationary cycle actually ends up worse off because their payments are in a fixed amount but the value of the current is appreciating. Then there is the issue of divisibility. Once you get to .01 or whatever was the smallest currency, there was no easy or practical way to justify minting a smaller amount (if gumballs were 10 for .01, your only choice was to buy 10 of them).

Bitcoin has the unique ability, if necessary, to deflate gracefully to 8 decimal places. This provides an unprecedented mechanism since there is no inherent cost difference in processing any size transaction down to .00000001. While today there is a fee mechanism that makes this "dust" type of transaction not viable, from what I have read about the upcoming changes to fee structure, fees should be able to adjust up or down to follow whatever economic situation presents itself.

Lastly, I feel obligated to point out that Bitcoin also COULD have more than 21 million coins simply (or not so simply) by an economic majority willing it so. Today this would be totally unrealizable, but in 10,20 or 50 years there may be some compelling reason to adjust the mining rate to some other number.

Final Thoughts: How many years before a national government implements a sovereign digital currency? (probably based on this project) I believe that it will happen, although a government would remove the economic majority function, probably add a "dial" for the mint rate.

Thoughts?

Cheers

Thoughts:

On the government's "problem":


The beauty of a deflationary currency is the ability to control the depredations of government. Unfortunately, the people become accustomed to the control, become relaxed and allow those in government to remove the control. The people need to remain vigilant.


On the true size of BTCitcoin:

21 million x 108 = 2.1 quadrillion.
If you think we'll still need a couple of decimal places for dimes and cents:
21 million x 106 = 21 trillion.
Bitcoin can handle the world's transactions without problem. In addition to that, other currencies will probably not completely disappear.


On mining rate:

Already done. Have you heard of LiteCoin?


On sovereign digital currency:


I would expect a government controlled digital currency to remove "finality." The government will always want to be the final decision-maker on what transactions, between whoever, should be rescinded or reversed, both for the sake of laws it creates (good and bad) and for the sake of payments it doesn't want to make. That's what we already have. Just because it's digital doesn't mean it's better.

Will you take BTC1.1 for your 5 Morgans dated in the 1800s?
I will pay for escrow, you pay for shipping with tracking number and insurance.

Does it taste like sand?

58  Economy / Securities / Re: BitFunder - Lets grow together! A request to all users - https://bitfunder.com on: June 11, 2013, 08:57:03 PM
Ukyo,

I just thought of one I'd really like to see:

Emails when something happens, buy, sell, option etc. That's on the list (I think). Here's what's not: ability for a user to supply a public key (PGP) to secure the emails.

Thanks.
59  Economy / Securities / Re: BitFunder - Lets grow together! A request to all users - https://bitfunder.com on: June 10, 2013, 04:38:39 AM
Seriously though,

The charts are useless at present. I just leave them off. A good charting system needs many options.

It would be nice to have a pathway out for bitcoin other than just through weed (sp?) ex. Possibly you could charge a withdrawal fee for a direct path out?

I like the fill button, but could you also provide an average cost when trading at multiple prices?

I do a lot of trading on iPhone & iPad platforms because of speed and portability. Can you spend some time making interfaces for smaller windows more user friendly. You just can't see the bid and ask pricing lists at the same time. Touch scrolling doesn't always work properly.

Hey Ukyo,

While you're taking care of all those new features, could you implement a setting that makes it so I never lose BTCitcoin on an asset?  Cheesy

Thanks in advance!
