463  Economy / Speculation / Re: Poll: Why did gox change locations? on: February 20, 2014, 11:21:48 AM
I think they have moved just to increase their physical security (guards) and also to have another lame excuse for not giving back people's coins ("we're so busy with the move").

Indeed not that good news for USD traders.
On a more positive note: I greatly respect the way you communicate and solve this problem! This again proofs to me you are one of the most reliable exchanges out there.
Props!

As expected..No details whatsoever, just asking for more time Smiley
Pathetic..I feel sorry for those who still believe they are going to recover.

Tip: it might be better to give time-frames when providing answers such as 'irregularly', 'often', 'sometimes', etc.

Not a good thing what's happened. Facebook will only get more control over your privacy with this takeover.
I've switched to Telegram. Same nice layout and although not 100% secure a lot safer than whatsapp. If you start a secret chat, it uses P2P instead of storing messages on their servers.
468  Economy / Speculation / Re: Its Thursday In Japan - Withdrawal Update Coming Within Next 12 Hours on: February 20, 2014, 10:13:42 AM
It's odd how it takes gox a week to deploy a fix for a problem that it supposedly found and other exchanges fix this problem within a couple days. The last couple updates did happen around 7pm. Probably around the time they leave the office so they don't have to deal with all the backlash lol.

I keep mentioning this but Andreas said that the Gox code was so bad that it could take them 2-4 weeks to update. I think many people underestimate how poorly their code was developed, thus causing updates to take many times longer than other exchanges. We just all default to assume its an easy fix.

I think most people would be patient with code issues and be willing to wait for 2-4 weeks for withdrawals if they felt confident that the cash and coins were indeed there and would be available.  Gox has not been transparent and has left everyone feeling uneasy which is what caused such panic. 

it takes like 2 weeks to just download the blockchain from scratch...

More like 30 minutes if you download the torrent.

Haven't received any coins thus far..have you?
I hope this isn't a scam  Undecided
470  Economy / Services / Re: [PrimeDice] [Highest Paid Signature] Earn up to 2.4 BTC/Month by Posting on: February 20, 2014, 12:22:40 AM
This technically is NOT the highest paid signature? There is another sig campaign that is running with the exact same price as this.

Which sig campaign is the highest paid signature?  Didn't see any others offering more than PrimeDice's 2.4 BTC/Month?

They also offer 0.0003 here. They have a 0.5 BTC limit, but it doesnt matter since a lot of people dont get that much anyways...
I think its not yet time to compare PrimeDice with them. Let them pay one cycle.
If you remember few months back there was one to pay .0006 / post and at last fucked up.
Untill its not sure that other are paying or not PrimeDice is the only trully trustable which is paying .0003BTC/post and giving opportunity of 2.4 BTC per month

QFT
If another company would pay me 0.0004 or 0.0005 per post I won't switch to them. I like PrimeDice and it also deserves respect that they hold on to their side of the deal, and have done so for months!
471  Economy / Services / Re: Business Idea Feedback Need [ .05 BTC BOUNTY!!] on: February 20, 2014, 12:05:23 AM
3 things you liked about the idea:

First of all I like that you involve your target audience and potential customer base by asking for guidelines on this forum. This shows that you are involved, responsive and listen to your customers.
Second, as you primarily focus on renting out miners that you maintain yourselves, you are able to offer better quality compared to other companies acting as middlemen.
Lastly, being located in the US and specifically TX, you are able to save on energy costs which will increase your profit.


3 suggestions for improvement
Also make sure you are advertising on social media such as twitter, facebook and youtube, these will also increase help with SEO.
Before launching, I would let someone do a security audit to make sure your site is secure and not easily exploitable.
Think about uptimes and reliability: do you have (D)DoS protection? Does your DC provide UPS / backup electrical generation systems? Are your backups been taken care of? Do not forget to actually test to restore a backup.

Do you think the idea is feasible?
I believe so if you take good care about marketing, and think the aforementioned things through. You seem to have thought well about it and have already assembled a team.

Any additional comments/suggessions
Try to communicate honestly and quickly with your customers. Being honest pays of in the end in this business, and it never hurts to quickly tell people whats up e.g. when a server fails.
It also might be better in the beginning to use a cloud service for hosting your website. This could cost you a bit more from an economical POV, but it will ensure that you are better protected against high amount of visitors at irregular intervals, and DDoS protection.

473  Economy / Services / Re: Best VPN that accepts Bitcoin? on: February 19, 2014, 09:32:28 PM
I haven't used them myself (yet) but you could maybe have a look at this forum's sponsor: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/
They seem legit judging their referrals, and I can hardly imagine the crew would allow a scammer to advertise here.

I hope this topic will get a lot of reactions, would be interesting to read other people's recommendations Smiley
474  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which exchange?! on: February 19, 2014, 09:25:27 PM
You will typically pay something in the order of 0.3% per trade which isn't that high if you ask me.
475  Economy / Lending / Re: [Lend] 0.05 BTC on: February 19, 2014, 09:23:05 PM
I could lend you the BTC but like faiza1990 said, only with collateral that I receive in advance.

Sorry guys, must have missed that post while reading through this topic  Embarrassed
Thanks for digging that post up hilariousandco Smiley
477  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What are the remaining reliable exchanges? on: February 19, 2014, 08:22:58 PM
In my experience all of the following exchanges are 100% reliable (in alphabetical order):

Agreed. Keep no funds in any exchange for more than 24 hours.

Not the smartest advice I read in this topic.
If you're trading small amounts of fiat like me, you'll nearly lose the profit you made paying for the withdraw fees..
478  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Overview of Signature-Ad Campaigns on: February 19, 2014, 08:20:05 PM
Not that it's any of my business, but why don't you use a signature service yourself?
Do you want to stay neutral as the TS of this topic?
479  Economy / Lending / Re: In need of 0,02BTC on: February 19, 2014, 08:13:48 PM
I could send you the 0,02BTC if you offer something as collateral such as a Steam game.
Send me a PM with your offer.
480  Economy / Speculation / Re: Its Thursday In Japan - Withdrawal Update Coming Within Next 12 Hours on: February 19, 2014, 08:09:38 PM
Exactly..
Also there are a lot of similar threads like this one, so I don't understand why you started this.
We'll soon find out what they'll announce.
