441  Economy / Securities / Re: Is GLBSE also slow for you ? on: July 22, 2012, 02:47:37 AM

Im workin on it, Im workin on it.

Really the problem is programmatic, I can't just throw hardware at it.

The way to fix this is to add application servers (currently only one running), but this add a concurrency problem which under heavy load would mean that accounts wouldn't balance, there would be double trades etc.

I'm working on making this safe and scalable.

Can you simply disable the graphs for a while?  The pages are loading every trade since asset launch and the data is becoming very large.

OP updated.  Some additions, some shuffling.  Newly published credit rating metrics for Ineedausername to go with his insured deposits and uninsured PPT.

Long after BS&T is gone, Bitcoin will still be here, irrespective of price movements.

If you are sure the economy is tied to one person, even if they have a corner or squeeze (or any other market power you like), then you are missing the point.

Mr Rabiit does not behave like the OP.  That's why I avoided it when I saw it earlier.

I think google translate gives me enough of your thoughts and I agree.  People should be careful, and Bitcoin is new.  That is why I looked at this thread, because I think it is unusual.  There are several different options for people depositing Bitcoins and earning interest.

我认为谷歌翻译给了我足够你的想法,我同意。人应该小心,Bitcoin是新的。这就是为什么我看着在这个线程,因为我觉得,这是不寻常的。有几个不同的选项的人交存Bitcoins和赚取利息。

I have not provided audit of the method for making funds or returns, but have assessed Smart1985 and ZiggyStar and the funds (BTC) they have available to support their exchange.  I have not specifically rated the different offerings such as project 16 or project 17.  Investors still need to complete due diligence and ask questions.  Alternatively, request a rating or "audit" of the individual products.

我没有提供资金或返回方法的审计,但评估Smart1985和ZiggyStar和资金(BTC),它们可用来支持他们的交流。我还没有具体评分项目16个或17项目,如不同的产品。投资者仍然需要完成尽职调查和询问。另外,要求对个别产品的评级或“审计”。
447  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Proposal 1:10 split, every block reward halves. on: July 20, 2012, 10:11:35 PM
Thank for raising this issue.  It is good to have some discussion on issues like this, and the magnitude of currency is an interesting topic.

USD might be many to the BTC, but other currencies are the other way around.  Yen is even more and pre-euro, Italian lira were much smaller (without going to Turkish lire (they were 100,000 to the USD at one stage).

It is also worth noting that among  that different currencies, some have "cents" and others do not (like yen).  Pre decimal, the English also had a sub penny denomination.  In the movie "In Time", the currency ranged from seconds to decades (and longer), and despite some of the poorly put together aspects, the inhabitants managed to work out the relative value of seconds versus years.

Personally, I would be against such a large structural change in valuation at block reward halving.

449  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: CryptoExchange's lagging API on: July 20, 2012, 04:14:34 AM
and bot trade it to death.

You do realize, don't you, that a lot of the time when you're trading with a bot on one exchange you're really trading with a human on another exchange via an arbitrage mediated by the bot?

I guess if you want to have your little walled-off exchange that is an island unto itself, fine, but I think you're alone in that desire.  If you want that, use litecoin.


Probably the wider issue (and it is not just crypto that has it) is easily extracting currency.

Yes, that's an issue too, but unlike BTC-withdrawal-via-API it is caused by the brokenness of the banking system as a whole rather than the brokenness of one particular exchange's operators.

Sorry I did not see your post earlier, because there was something else I wanted to add.  I notice the $350,000 loss over on bitcoinica was (apparently) an api hack.  Perhaps Crypto are happy with being different.  It's still a pain extracting funds, but it still works.

Also, for clarification, I don't use bots (I must be too stupid), and I like the exchanges I use and arbitrage, but mostly just cashing profits.  As for altcoins, no thanks - that was a passing curiosity with i0coin with a difficulty under 14.  If I'm alone with my view, that's fine.  I see you have several good and highly technical projects that work well and certainly other people also like automatic trading.

As a warning, if you get a Starfish deposit account, the security means you don't get to interrogate your account.  You actually have to communicate with someone.

Starfish BCB - safe under a rock.

Thanks for the links.

(I was actually considering BTC assets rather than necessarily real-life houses etc).
451  Economy / Securities / Re: Credit Ratings on: July 20, 2012, 12:31:04 AM
I would like to know that someone has at least made the effort in being identified in addition to being sufficiently well known by members of the bitcoin community before they take on responsibility for handling someone else's funds.

On the warm fuzzies front: one of the points that is bothering me currently is a size issue and not just GLBSE assets.  Investing in something with 50 or 100 BTC standing behind it is a bit different to something that is in the 1000 to 10k range.

Are these investments exposed at all to pirateat40 and his BTC Savings and Trust operation ?

Good luck with your venture !

no investment in bonds.
this coins are only used for trading.

best regards.

Please clarify.  bulanula's question includes bonds and passthrough schemes that may be exposed to BS&T.
453  Economy / Long-term offers / Re: Starfish BCB - Loans and Deposits (deposit rate 1.0%/week from 1 August) on: July 19, 2012, 08:22:20 PM
Balance list updated at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=61262.msg981017#msg981017

Currently 15,130 on deposit supported by approximately 14k in loans and 20k in other investments.  Loose change is only around 80 coins currently because the loan book has grown 4500 over the past week to 10 days and I've had a few withdrawals.

I'm not currently looking for deposits for anything special, and additional deposits 100 and under is no problem.
454  Economy / Securities / Re: Credit Ratings on: July 19, 2012, 08:11:10 PM
I did remember there is a thread with a run-down of mining companies, but that was focused more on dividend flows rather than the fundamental description of each asset.  The purpose of this exercise is a little different. But I'll be starting at the top of the list and working down initially.

thank you Spartacus Smiley

Having found some time to make progress on some requests and feedback from the lending section credit rating of issuers, I'm starting a project looking at GLBSE securities.  Before I wade through all of the assets compiling basic research on the top 100 offerings, has anyone else actually done this?
459  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scam Report Against CryptoXchange $100k USD on: July 19, 2012, 12:00:32 AM
Why would anyone having an outstanding 100K worth of legit money post such a letter to an internet forum ?

If you have that amount of money, I think the case would've been solved without posting it to this forum.

I sure as hell know if I had that amount of money to throw around, I wouldn't bother posting it on this forum to have a case resolved.

Why would they post a low resolution copy when they would have been sent a PDF or Word copy of the document by the lawyers?
Perhaps someone should contact that law firm and ensure that the document isn't forged?

Should be easy as there are at least three people there.  I notice the document doesn't have the kind of information I would have expected and appears very preliminary, but then maybe because I'm using a larger firm in Sydney.

Just keep giving those coins away.  You should pay me half of what you are going to give away in the future and I will kick you in the nuts.  Then you still will have half of your coins!

But then I wouldn't have any entertainment value.
