41  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Malleability on: February 15, 2014, 10:59:46 AM
Is this a stupid suggestion: MtGox could inlcude a signed comment with their own transaction id in every outgoing transaction. Wouldn't this prevent fraud?

The bitcoin protocol does not support comments in transactions.

hmm.. how have these 'public notes' made on these transactions?
https://blockchain.info/address/1F1tAaz5x1HUXrCNLbtMDqcw6o5GNn4xqX

I believe those are internal to the blockchain.info website -- not on the blockchain itself.
Blockexplorer.com shows the blockchain w/out the fluff http://blockexplorer.com/address/1F1tAaz5x1HUXrCNLbtMDqcw6o5GNn4xqX
It also has the raw view of a transaction, here one that has a public note shown in blockchain.info

42  Economy / Speculation / Re: MtGox <-> BitStamp price divergence? on: February 14, 2014, 11:01:55 AM
Not sure if I am the first to notice this or someone has already commented on it, BUT..... there seems to be the beginnings of a slight divergence in the price of Bitcoins on MtGox vs. Bitstamp. If I am reading the price correctly, it is lower on MtGox and higher on BitStamp. Thoughts?
If by "slight divergence" you mean 40% difference, then yes.
43  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin on MTGOX at around 340$ on: February 14, 2014, 09:37:54 AM
WTF, I have a couple of BTC at MTGOX and the price keeps on falling every minute. At the moment it is around 340$. So should I withdraw all my Bitcoins from there or wait until the price rises again on MTGOX. Some bad tongues have been saying Bitcoin will drop under 100$ by the end of next week. Is this only meant for MTGOX or for the Bitcoin price everywhere?
Currently BTC withdrawals are not processed at MtGox.

There is quite a bit of scientific research on crypto/BTC out there already.

45  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: How much can I mine with 1Gh ? on: February 05, 2014, 09:30:52 AM
Well i dont have any money to buy BTC.
So 10 dollar is only a small investment to try it out.
If I mine any altcoins i get alot right?

SHA256 altcoins are almost worthless (compared to BTC, you won't make more off them). And ASICs can't mine Scrypt.
Somewhat simplified translation of this (correct) statement: your investment can only mine BTC, not altcoins.

https://www.bitstamp.net/ supports international wire transfer.
47  Economy / Economics / Re: mtGox vs btc-e price? on: January 25, 2014, 12:30:55 PM
look, its that thread again.

yes there is a price differential (better to be measured in%tage terms than absolute dollars).
as stated above, it occurs because of the difficulty to move fiat around, especially with Gox involved.

Here is a list of Bitcoin-related research papers.
You might need to get familiar with most of these

49  Economy / Speculation / Re: gox-stamp differential on: January 22, 2014, 08:33:26 AM
yes it has increased somewhat. but please stop looking at this difference in absolute terms. changes are only relevant in percentage terms as the price varies.

52  Economy / Economics / Re: Price mechanism of bitcoin exchanges? on: January 14, 2014, 08:41:55 PM
Good explanation above.
To answer the question OP had in mind when opening the thread: yes, the price of BTC on a newly opened exchange might differ considerably from established exchanges as a trader puts in the first BID or ASK. Someone might be offering their BTC for $1M at this exchange when it opens. Any trader on the exchange is then free to accept the offer or not.
53  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is it that BTC are more expensive in Euros then in $ on: January 14, 2014, 08:35:40 PM
I have not observed the phenomenon that you are describing.
Which one of the two is currently trading higher seems to change constantly and is a function of limited liquidity on the exchange.
EUR volume is lower in general and therefore more subject to be affected by larger individual trades.
54  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Future of Alt Cryptos on: January 14, 2014, 08:15:35 PM
Your set of blue chip cryptocurrencies seems somewhat arbitrary.
Not sure what makes Quark more LTC-like than other popular alts such as Peercoin, Namecoin, Megacoin or Worldcoin.
Its not Quark's teeny market cap (3% of LTC), that's for sure...

Not really related to Bitcoin. Try DPR instead.
56  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What would stop some from creating a secondary BTC blockchain? on: January 13, 2014, 06:07:28 PM
That would be an altcoin. Transactions would not be compatible with the existing blockchain.
57  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Official Lamborghini for bitcoin thread! on: December 21, 2013, 01:08:12 PM
Got a great exchange rate (for now) too!

2014 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Coupe MSRP: USD 191,000
Paid: BTC216.8
Effective exchange rate ~$881/BTC.

Congrats! I wouldn't imagine there are many Lambos cruising around Thailand.

in bangkok actually there are plenty ,same with ferraris  ,porsches ,bentlys  and other extravagant motors from europe
for a third world country its amazing   how much money  the rich  have   Shocked
not so surprising really. in developing countries, the gap between poor and wealthy is typically far larger than in industrialized nations.

Congrats to your new ride Goat!
58  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: VISA and Mastercard vs. Bitcoin on: December 21, 2013, 12:48:47 PM
If Mastercard could dictate payment options for a business' customers, wouldn't the first thing they do be to make sure their main competitor Visa cannot be used in transactions?
59  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC and altcoins rising and falling together on: December 19, 2013, 01:25:04 PM
Altcoins are near perfect substitutes of Bitcoin, hence value perceived by the wider economy rises and falls together.
