Use a good indicator and stick with it.



Whats that indicator? I dont see how one would decide on how the trend will go up or down with that. Can you explain?

Still not possible to withdraw coins as an advertiser? Its not much for me but the explaination for this sounds stupid. Though i know it was brought in by previous owners. If it would be to protect against money laundering then this service could not allow anonymous deposits too. Simply because someone can turn advertising money into profit elsewhere. If he knows how.

Though maybe this service is dead anyway already since >120 days no post?

I hate the minimum withdrawal of 0.01 BTC, too. Been at 0.008 for months because each click on a link is now around 8 satoshi...

I might make another short url service that pays in bitcoin and I will pay allot more because I know how to make a nice profit from the traffic.

Keep an eye out for my announcement Wink

I think i know how you want to monetize the traffic. Im not sure if you will get many users with it. Or is it an accepted behaviour of link shorteners now?

How come that some users don't have Escrow page and they are on that escrow list ?
since OP have no time , I guess we should make another list . a trusted member should make it .

I believe there was already another thread though this thread here seems to be the oldest and is coming up all the time again for some reason.

What do you mean with escrow page? Most escrows on BCT only communicate over PM.
4464  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: ---> BTC.sx <--- Bitcoin Trading Platform on: January 27, 2015, 09:11:15 PM
I trade on bitfinex directly since some time. At least learning a bit. Pricy learning curve for sure, though at least on certain markets i have a good prediction rate sometimes. The problem is that predicting the same price movement in winning direction is not the same like having the same price movement in losing direction. The problem is the fee. Even the 0.2% on bitfinex can mean a hard time to only get back the fees for a buy and sell cycle. Now btc.sx has 2.5 times the trading fee which sounds pretty hard to make a profit with it. So is there a way to have a way lower fee?

Another question i have is how you do the trading. You claim to trade actually on the exchanges though bitfinex doesnt offer 10:1 leverage. And bitstamt doesnt offer at all. So you offer the funds? How are you insured in case some wins really big with a real good investment and 10 times leverage?
4465  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: BitcoinWisdom.com - Live Bitcoin/LiteCoin Charts on: January 27, 2015, 07:38:54 PM
I wonder if the stats under the chart can be changed. For example it shows the total amount of coins traded and its colored red or green depending on more sales or trades. But i think it makes more sense as a trading stat to know which amount of coins were sold or bought. So a divided graph where sales and buys are divided by x-axis would make more sense i think.

And sometimes i think it would be good when the very right stats could be changed too. I mean the amount of coins in the orderbook. I dont care so much about 6000 coins needed to get 30 usd lower in bitcoin price. I mostly would like a stat about the first 200 coins. Its more interesting to know that only a sale of 10 coins could lower the price by 1 btc while buying the same amount would do nothing. I think the chance that the market moves fast there is high. But the stats dont show that very good. (I know there is the green and red line right of the graph too.)

pretty much anything you can think about could be classified as a theory.

True. Though that borders "what is reality at all". We mostly can judge on our past observations if things are right or wrong or likely more near to the truth. At the end its all theory thats more or less likely. Only thing with religion is that its a theory that cant be observed like that. Its a believe. There is no prayer that can repeatedly heal cancer or something like that. Religion simply is far outside of the truth likeliness of science.

[True. Animals are machine, and humans are cyborgs with souls that can reach God. People are AI. God is the only real intelligence.]

So we are back to a claim you cant back with anything. Its like me stating that the allmighty spaghetti monster made all mankind. I cant proof it and i wont be able to find a proof. So do you. The problem is you maybe act on those believes.

[You weren't there. Why wouldn't they build machines? See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=925633.msg10259731#msg10259731, a part of which is quoted here
Quote
A BIG part of the point is that, even though the ancient trading civilization that ruled the world in our prehistoric past may not have been called "Atlantis" around the world, it was INDEED there. Why don't modern scientists want to acknowledge this? Why do the universities constantly attempt to hide the info? Are they afraid that their whole system of ancient history which is a big joke will prove that they are stupid? Will this credibility loss cost them their place in the world of money?

So its a past high culture that is hidden by science? Conspiracy theory or what is this? Of course people in the past made inventions. But they didnt have a car or a notebook. Which means humans build their machines on the knowledge others brought them. Its the same with animals. They see how an animal of their kind is opening a shell with a rock and they start using it the same way. They learn from others and at some point an animal will find an even better way. This doesnt proof that humans have souls and animals are soulless robots.

[Humans are cyborgs. The thing that distinguishes them from the animals is that the DO have souls.]

Where is your proof for this claim? I can throw around statements the same way you do. They still dont get valid only by repeating them.

[Perhaps. But it is way more arbitrary to think that they have such potential. Why? All you need do is consider how they have used whatever potential that they may have over the millennia.]

And who are you to say that they dont have souls only because they didnt reach the same level as humans yet? If you would see it as potential then you wouldnt go around and claim that other life forms are soulless creatures that dont feel pain. You would be way more cautious.

[The major thing that is against what you say here, is the fact of entropy which is virtually universal. At the same time, there is NOTHING that can be conclusively proven or even shown that animals can become better as you call it.]

You really should watch some documentations sometimes. Animals all over the world learn new things. But even if they wouldnt. You should assume that it takes a lot more time to learn more. Only because humans made the jump by developing a more stable nutrition, leading to a higher brain capacity and so on, doesnt mean that animals, with enough time, wont be able to reach higher levels.

[The difference is that animals that learn rather complicated things, only do so in the presence of humans teaching them. Then they forget. But if a few remember and pass it on, their machines and learnings are not compound. They are simple. Any compund machine learning that animals have dies with them. Animals are not made to have such, just as they are not made to have souls.]
What are you speaking about? Animals learn how to crack shells. They didnt know how to do it before. One of them found out and the others learned from him. Please inform yourself about animals using tools. Its not only about highly specific tasks they learn from humans. Its natural development.

[That's half right. Take all man's knowledge away, and it would be a long time before he regained it. Yet you will never be able to teach an animal to drive the way a human does. Animals aren't made to understand that kind of thing.]

And? What does it say that it would take a long time? If you would have a brother and he is 10 years younger than you, then he is quite stupid. But you dont go around and claim he is a soulless robot who doesnt feel pain. Because with enough time he will become smart enough. What does time matter when its about potential? But the fact that you claim something or someone not as far developed as you must be a soulless robot without feels of pain is really strange. I mean i know religious people and how they think so i understand it but its still not understandable for humans that werent indoctrinated with "believes" that cant be proven.

[Good doesn't have anything to do with it. Animals were designed to be robots, just as humans were designed to be cyborgs with souls. God designed and built.]

Where is your proof? If i claim you were designed by god to be a slave because you belong to race x of human kind... how could i be wrong? Its the same arbitrary claim you do. You cant proof it. Its a believe. But you think you can act on this believe. And thats hefty.

[You really need to get away to the mountains more often. There are signs all over mountain roads that say "Watch out for falling rocks!" Rocks roll, both before they fall, and after. What? Do you think that the first wheel that people made was like the latest shiny car wheel?]

I dont see how this goes against what i wrote. I only said humans invent things above things other humans invented before them. If you rais a group of humans without knowledge of science and teachings or tech then they most probably will only be able to build very simple tools. Still better than the ones animals use but animals show potential to build machines too.

[All right! I almost thought you had gone to be like one of the animals there for a little.]

 Shocked So the ability to imagine that there is something hidden that you cant explain is a sign of intelligence. Im not so sure. An animal most probably wont worship lightning bolts as thrown from god thor. And we know animals would be the smarter ones by not doing so. Im not sure why you feel superiour to animals because you very hard believe in an imaginery friend whose existence you neither can proof nor show. Fantasy for sure is worth something but fantasy leading to "iam better than the rest" is somewhat dangerous. Happened too often in human past that human races were seen ans animals, put into zoos, it was claimed they dont feel pain and and and.

[As far as religious books go, all the religious books of the world except one are man's writings. The Bible is an extension of God through human beings. When you study everything about the Bible, including its structure, the history of how it came into being, the single theme that flows throughout, the traditions of the nation of Israel regarding it, etc., you will find that it is an impossible to have been written book. Yet here it is, in abundance, all around the world, translated into multitudes of languages.]

*lol* Now you really made me laugh out loud. Your believe is really sweet. I would lead you to certain documentaries where clearly is show scientifically that each book of the bible was written by certain humans if i would know the english versions. And if you would follow the history of the bible you would find pretty much that your believe is build on very weak foots.

On top... would you have been born in an islam family you would say the very same about the koran.

But since you wrote this i have to admit that you are a hardcore believer. Its useless to discuss on that level. I wouldnt get anything from it and most people of that kind are feared that they could have been believed the wrong thing. They need the order in order to have a system to understand live. Since otherwise the chaos remaining would be too hard to accept.

[Did you even read what I wrote above? In brief, the greater the machine, the greater the machine maker. The fact that the universe is full of all the machinery that we get ours from, and even machinery that is way beyond our understanding at present, shows that the Machine Maker of the universe is extremely great. In fact, His greatness fits the definition of the word God. That's why we call Him God.]

So only because you cant understand why something exists you think there must have been some allmightly alien who made it. Ok. Its no different from old vikings who thought god thor throws the lightning bolts around. Because... who other than a god could do such thing?
So only because you claim there must have been an allmighty person who did it... it still becomes no claim who proofs itself. Its only your believe. So if an airplane is crashing in amazonas and the humans living there believe god has sent it, because who other could have build it is the same like a beautiful waterfall who built itself into a mountain. God must has build it personally, because who could have done it otherwise. Sorry but thats a really childish view of life where one doesnt see themself as a fully grown person but as a child who needs parents. Most probably its too hard for many humans to accept that things simply happen because other parts of life moved things into a certain direction. All mighty gods who did everything we cant explain are really something from the past and not really top notch of human development. And you know that.

[The stuff of nature is extremely complex. Nobody can will himself to grow another arm. If you lose an arm, there is no way you can get it back. Yet, science is finding out that an arm is loaded with technology. Scientists are starting to duplicate some of the complex technology that exists in an arm. It is technology. Technology has a technology inventor and maker. It just doesn't pop into being, over a long period of time or short.]
[/quote]

Oh right. Since when was the last time that god build back a cut arm of a human? If a human arm grows naturally its not god building it slowly. Otherwise he would do it again. Its nature, following the rule that has proven valid. And scientists can copy the mechanisms who has proven advantageous in nature. Where is god there? I guess it can only be seen when seeing something and believing it must have been created in an instant. Without a long aging development to get to that status. A working arm for example.

[God is so extremely great that we can't ask the right question about Him like that. In our simple, little minds, the answer to the question of where God came from would make no sense. In fact, God is so GREAT that hearing the answer might even kill us. Suffice it to say that God is eternal, no beginning or end.]

You keep spouting around believes. Its funny. Though there is nothing to back it beyond that believe. Should i speak to you about how great the allmighty spaghetti monster is? I guess you would have fun trying to convince me that my god is the wrong god because... you believe so. Smiley

[The evidence of the complex, machine-like quality of the universe and nature suggests that God exists. There is no other way. Entropy and the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics dispells the belief that such complexity could come into being of itself over tremendously long periods of time.]

*sigh* Of course. An allmighty person that cant be seen nor interacts. But it must have been there because i cant understand why all life is working together that great that its like a huge machine. There must be a person who did this. Sorry... this thought scheme doesnt make sense.

[Now you are touching on seeing the great good God has given us. He has given us such strength of will that we can either believe in Him and be friends with Him, or we can ignore Him to the point of denying ourselves right out of existence. I truly hope your studies and the calling of the Holy Spirit reach you before you get to the point of self-destruction.

So youre a friend of god? Will you tell me that your prayers work? Or is it more like the usual when you became healed then it was god, when you didnt then it was gods will? Sorry. Even if there is a god. It does not make sense to believe or pray to him when there is nothing coming out of it. There is life, yes, thats undeniable. And maybe some form of life is able to heal. But its still only a part of live. No person behind life. Though at the end its even irrelevant if there are life forms who might be able to heal when you cant reach them. And im 100% sure you cant reach anything with your believe. Maybe you can calm yourself with prayers. Thats it. The rest is some form of live in a social community. But nothing worthy besides some more or less ethical rules.

Its not that im not spiritual. Im only not gullible. Its way too easy to catch gullible people in sects, scientology or more or less dangerous religions. But proving what exists, whats nonsense, whats only believe is important. With you i only see believes, proven by nothing. But dangerously you judge others with your believes. Though thats how religious people work mostly.

4468  Other / Politics & Society / Re: This frozen chicken “had a rich, emotional life.” on: January 26, 2015, 02:46:34 PM
There are two major things to look at when considering God or a god. These are: 1) the fundamental idea of God; 2) the interpretations of religions regarding God or god.

Fundamentally there is this. In our own modern world, the monkeys and apes, the dolphins, the birds (even the birds that talk), don't make any complex machinery. Only man makes complex machinery, even though some of the animals use simple, what we would call primitive tools - some primates crack open nuts with rocks, etc. In the eyes of animals (if they could think a little like us) man would be the god.

The thing that is interesting is that all - 100% - of the technology of man, no matter how advanced man's complex machinery is, comes from man's observation of what already exists in nature. In fact, some areas of nature are way more "advanced" than man has been able to understand. To see this, all one need do is watch the Youtube videos that depict the operations of living cells.

Cellular life is machinery in action that man has yet to completely unravel the mysteries about. Yet, this machinery is in abundance all over the world reproducing itself, while man has yet to master the art of building machinery that can reproduce (Yes, a few robots have been built that can more or less reproduce, but nothing approaching the complexity of nature by a long shot).

The point? Since all man's technological abilities come from nature, and since man has really only just started to catch up to nature, and since it is shown when comparing animals to man that the more the advanced form of life, the more complex the technology... consider the capabilities of the One Who put the technology into nature... the same nature that man gets all his technology from. Even if it happened to be only nature itself, then nature is God.

Since there is mass entropy in nature at the same time there is highly advanced complexity, God probably exists, at least in part, outside of nature.

In addition to the above, there is virtually no evidence that pure random exists. Everything operates by cause and effect, action and reaction. Only in some higher forms of quantum math is there any evidence whatsoever for the idea that there can be something such as pure random. The better the scientist, the more he(she) is able to find the cause behind some effect. What does this mean? It means that even our thinking and machine-making has been programmed into the way the universe is unfolding. And it also means that in some way, God has given us the ability to reach out to Him.

Think about these things in depth. A simple reading of this post will not suffice in doing justice to what is written here in simple words.

The next question is, Has God given us a method to find Him, to read about Him, to contact Him (perhaps simple prayer)? Has He shown us one of the religions that stands head and shoulders above other religions, and even above what a religion could possibly be, so that we can understand that this religion definitely came from God, and is God talking to us? Check the religions out. Compare the histories of the different religions. Because the history of the Judeo-Christian religion is one (the Bible and the whole history of how it came into being) that stands out way above what could exist naturally without the guidance of God.

Smiley

So only because human can build machines you make a arbitrary border to say that animals are machines. I think thats completely arbitrary. What about the very first humans. They did not build machines. They only had the potential to do it. Even now most humans only can build simple machines. So what are those humans? Do they have less soul in your imagination? Its all about potential. And i think its arbitrary when you decide that animals dont have such potential. Its understandable when not believing things can develop to become better of course. But its still arbitray to make a border there.

In fact there are cases of animals that learn new behaviours. Simple use of machines they didnt know before. And animals of the same kind can learn from those individuals. So whats the difference to a human inventing the wheel? Others do the same and some day they think its better when the wheel isnt made from wood only, steel has to be around it to make it more stable. And so on. Its not that a nowadays human invented the car he build. He only is using what others invented before him and he might add something to it.

So yes, humans are special in their ability. But to say that animals only are robots because they arent as good is going to far.

Where did humans see wheels in nature so that they could copy? Not everything was shown by nature so you can only simply copy it.

Its not that i dont believe in higher existence. There are for sure. At least its hard to imagine that humans are the most developed species at all. I believe one could take all of life together and say its god. But its fascinating how humans go around and claim to know what "god" wants. They collect stories in a book and then they claim they know better than all and we have to do now what they say. Like IS in iraq in its most loud expression. Though at the end no one can proof that he knows the will of everything in existence. So those claims has to be taken with caution.

Im not sure why nature is proof that god build it. Is it smart to say "i dont understand how it happened... there has to be some allmighty person who made it" or is it smarter to say "we dont know yet how it came to this"? You know people in the past believed that lightning bolts come from god. They simply took the simple explaination for their missing knowledge. So no, only because nature if full of wonders doesnt say there was a person who made all this personally. Because if there is you would need to ask yourself who made god then. Or is that the point where you would claim that god came into existence from itself? Then why happened this with god but not with nature? Its simply arbitrary. The easy explainations of humans that miss knowledge.

You write under the assumption that there is a god. What if there is none? If you speak about the will of whole life in existence then its no question that god exists in some kind. But if not then all those people praying are nothing more than lunatics who speak with their invisible friend. Who doesnt even answer. Or at least they interprete or claim that he answers sometimes. Or interprete things. If it would be possible to measure and repeat such contact with god then it would be proven. But till then its only a believe that dont yield results. At least not beside people trying to become better persons to be liked by their vision of god. Thats a good effect, at least as long as you dont belong to some radical group like dschihadists or so.

It seems to me a dividend payment should be forthcoming fairly soon.  Or at least some sort of update?  Obviously we are seeing a pretty nice uptick in BTC price.  Would love to hear what's going on cannabit.

The BTC-Price should be unrelated to this investment since its bitcoin price independent. Cannabit doesnt hold coins. BTC are only used for paying out divs. I wonder too when it becomes clear if the new investment opportunity will work or not.
I get what your trying to say with BTC price being unrelated to this investment, but the truth is, dividends are payed out in BTC so it is in fact pegged at some point.  I'm sure most of us would like to see a dividend payout before BTC breaks the $300 mark again (just jumped $17+ dollars I believe on news of regulated Coinbase exchange Lunar launching < 24 hours).

If fiat is ultimately really your only concern I can see it not mattering much, but for those of us interested in increasing our BTC holdings, it matters alot.  If they make a dividend payout of say $1/share when btc is at $270 as opposed to $500 and your goal is increased BTC it makes a difference.

If you want to increase your BTC holdings you should wait in fact until the price is down again. Then you would get more coins for the same dividend. Canna is exchanging the fiat only before he pays out the div. So when he now pays out the div you might get 1mBTC, if bitcoin exchange price is half of the price it is now, you would get 2mBTC. So in amount of coins you would go better with a lower bitcoin price.

Or do you want to bet on a still rising bitcoin price when he pays out now? I think thats risky. Lets see what the future shows.

All so called evolutionary changes can be attributed to built in programming more easily than they can be attributed to evolution. At its core and base, evolution says that life came about by random, accidental change of some inanimate material into life. Nobody knows that this is what happened. Scientists haven't shown that this is what happened. They will not attest to knowing that this is what happened. That's why evolution is a theory. Nobody knows.

Even though this is true - you can find that this is true by looking at the basic scientific papers by those who have done the work - multitudes of people have decided that they want evolution to be true without proof, and without even the best evidence. They have their priests in the propagandists who lead the ignorant into believing in something that is not true and that has no foundation.

Believe the evolution BS if you want, but if you are true to self, check the basics of it. It is all built on "if" and "maybe" at its base and core. Evolution is a religion.

Smiley

Its a theory, right. And personally i have a hard time too to believe that it happened randomly. The thing is only that the things that happened can be shown. But no one can show the hand of god creating a creature or its yet to be shown that the world is built in a different way since the sole matter view scientists have.

So when you say there is no proof... im not so sure. Its pretty stable to declare the changes in lifeforms. Though there is no proof that gods hand came into play and made everything in an instant. So whats more certain? Some observations about the development of lifeforms who can be connected by certain changes over a huge timeframe or a story from a book that was written 2000 years ago only? I mean whats the difference in me declaring the all mighty flying spaghetti monster created all humans and all life? Its no different than the claim an all mighty presence has nothing better to do then create humans. Im always surprised how little religious people question what they believe. I know its very hard to get to a viewpoint that is not contaminated by believes... but still... Even when they know that its made up, they want to believe. Its fine for me but i think there are better ways to become a better person than thousand year old rules from very different times.

Seems pretty good with bitcoin (except for the 600 left on Gox). All the rest went from "investors" and "customers" to him with very little effort.

"Oops I accidentally 600 BTC, because Gox" is a pretty good cover story.  That happens to everybody.

Maybe those 600 coins are our best bet to get anything back at all. I mean MtGox finds occasionally some wallet worth millions behind the sofa cushion so if things went through with mtgox then those 600 coins might be the only source of repayment we could hope for. At least i think the chance of mtgox paying back a noteworthy portion is higher than ken paying back something. Ken himself most probably doesnt have much to seize.

Remember that MtGox database leak from awhile back? Well there were never any matching accounts with the same balance KS stated ActM held on the exchange. I suppose maybe he could have been lying and he actually held 1200 coins there, or more than likely, 0.

Might be that he had different accounts on gox or he held an amount in fiat there so that he calculated it back to BTC. Or he remembered wrong because he already sold more than that. Anyway... its quite possible that it was only an excuse. "MtGox did make us go down. Not iam." Or so.

I'm pretty sure the customers who put those 600 coins there and didn't get any machines would be ahead of you in the line (if the coins ever existed and they get returned.)

I think that depends on what happened. If Ken only is a bad businessman then this might right. He collected usermoney for hardware and has to deliver. Investments are risky and no one has a right on a insured return.
But maybe things did not run that clear how Ken seems to claim. If its some kind of fraud then we all gave money in to a fraud and customers and investors would be on the same level of being eligible for compensation.

4474  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Wallet for Android / Re: Android Bitcoin client, can't add new addresses on: January 25, 2015, 04:55:17 PM
Personally i dont like the new wallet. Its something like Ubuntu did. Once it was a good OS, then they decided to go mainstream and create something for the average stupid user who only can handle windows. At the end even a pro cant find certain settings so that you take a different OS at the end.

Now the wallet seems to go the same way. No way to see your receiving addressed or add one as a pro. No way to chose a pro behaviour. So you only has the choice to take the top code for receiving coins. Im grown enough to know if i need a new receiving address or if i, in the worst case, want to type manually the new address because i cant copy it to the other system for some reason. Adding risk of typos.

And now i wanted to send remaining coins in my wallet back to my own wallet. As usual i only wanted to put in 100btc and the wallet fills in the coins i can send, because i actually have less. But it doesnt do this anymore. Only claims this doesnt work. Doesnt tell me how much i have, tells my how much less i have. So it awaits me to calculate? I go back to see my amount of coins, i need to remind them, go back and the receiving address is gone of course.

Then i remind the amount. Still i have to try the numbers on each decimal in order to withdraw all coins. I do it till i have every satoshi, then i scan the address with qr-code and... my amount is gone again. Completely stupid.

Really... its no fun using the wallet anymore. It makes live harder. If this doesnt change ill use another wallet. A friend of mine already did this because of this paternalism.

How is this forecast History made? I mean it looks like bitcoin nostradamus was practically correct all the time but in reality it claimed a price drop of around 1.3btc all the time over the last days. It took the actual price and predicted a drop in price. In reality the price went up consistently all the time. But because it takes the actual price and adds the -1.3btc it looks like it wasnt very wrong.

I would be impressed if you make a graph how the price will develop in the next hours. But the way it is no it says nothing and was wrong the last days all the time. If someone would have invested on this he would have lost.

In the evolution religion, survival of the fittest reigns as god. Therefore, it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, as long as his thinking isn't overcome by someone stronger than he. By this kind of thinking, this thread is informative. But it isn't the thing that rules the world. In fact, it is way lower than money in strength, except when it combines itself with money.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...

Smiley

EDIT: Look, if evolution is the truth, and money exists, then money is part of evolution. Perhaps at some other time in the future, chicken-life will reign as the strongest of the fittest... if evolution exists, that is.

Since when is evolution a religion? Its something you can watch in real life. Or what do you think are multi resistant bacteria? They changed their dna to adapt to a hard environment.

Even when its survival of the fittest, thats a law of matter. Though life is able to be more than simple atoms moving. Humans can be emphatic with the feelings of others. Leading to not wanting to hurt other, dont want to make war and so on. So we dont act only on material things. And its the same, on a much smaller scale, with animals. You should check out the emotional connections animals can build with their own kind, see elefants, or with humans. As pets. Life is not only survival of the fittest so its not correct to reduce it on that.

Seems pretty good with bitcoin (except for the 600 left on Gox). All the rest went from "investors" and "customers" to him with very little effort.

"Oops I accidentally 600 BTC, because Gox" is a pretty good cover story.  That happens to everybody.

Maybe those 600 coins are our best bet to get anything back at all. I mean MtGox finds occasionally some wallet worth millions behind the sofa cushion so if things went through with mtgox then those 600 coins might be the only source of repayment we could hope for. At least i think the chance of mtgox paying back a noteworthy portion is higher than ken paying back something. Ken himself most probably doesnt have much to seize.

I think the reward will make it hard to get reliable data. I mean you would need to check every business if it really accepts coins in order to prevent people want to get the coins only.

If you take the max limit away then im sure you will have your website filled faster too. At least i know of >3 android apps that provide mostly different btc-accept-locations. I think you might copy them simply too.

Does someone has a tip what kind of indicators work best for the bitcoin price. I found the RSI to be interesting though it seems there are often indicators that i dont know of. What is it? Trendlines, support lines, triangles and what so on?

I noticed that the price on bitfinex is way more spiky than on other exchanges. I guess the reason are margin trader who have enough coins to manipulate the price?

And then... when you think you predicted the wrong way... when do you sell? I often sold too early but often too late too. Its a bit hard to decide. So what do you guys do?

Another thing is, i have read an article about margin trading with kelly criterion. The author only calculated the margin leven to chose and it was high. Though i think the more important point is what amount of your funds you "set". I mean at the end its a binary bet, with a good disadvantage made by the fees. Shouldnt the kelly criterion say to only set 1% of your coins per bet? At least at JD it was calculated that way. I only see that its hard to collect some coins but its easy to lose them and way more on top. So i would like to minimize the risks of losing coins. Any tips there?

God, the Creator and Maker of everything, gave and gives people the authority for everything, including life of the plants and animals on the earth. God allowed and allows mankind to freely eat the plants and animals.

God never forces a person to eat animals. He doesn't really force people to eat plants either. The only thing He tells us is to treat other people with enough respect that they respect the freedom and property of other people.

Many people disregard the things that God tells them. This does not make them right. It only adds to the liability that they will have when God judges them in the coming judgment of all things.

Children are simply people who are not fully developed in certain ways. Children have souls. Animals do not.

So its a religious root where youre arbitrary commitment, about how things have to be, is coming from. Ok. Its not as if religions hasnt shown their wrong sides. Lately the most vocal are the islamic extremists. Personally i think you can believe what you want as long as you dont harm others with it. I dont await you to be cruel to an animal as a good christian, so im fine with that.

Its pretty clear nowadays that the bible was only written by humans, implementing older religious stories and even deciding what books are belonging to the nowadays bible was done by humans only. So its pretty arbitrary to want to believe in this as the unaltered word of god. Especially because if you would have been born in a muslim family you would be convinced the same way that only allah is the real god.

Anyway. Im libertarian as long as you dont hurt others with your believe.
