Average folks in the People's Republic of China have an even harder time preserving the value of their savings than Westerners.  They really only have the People's Bank of China  as a safe store for it, and they get an interest rate there which is less than inflation.  So alternative stores of value would be of great interest to many of them.

What do "MACD (26,122): -0.753", "EXP(9): -0.851", "Divergence: 0.098", "RSI(14): 34.72" mean?  What is bullish about this divergence measurement?

Your advertisement is confusing.  Each rig has 4 GPUs?  How are the
5850s distributed among the 5830s?  You are selling all six rigs bundled
for $3500?  Why aren't you selling them separately?  More buyers that
way.  But even then, $3500/6=583 seems a little high for such a rig...

I wouldn't call what's happening in bitcoin over the last few days a crash, anyway.  It's all relative, and relative to the volatility in the BTCUSD rate, the recent price changes haven't been that large.

ngzhang, I am pretty much clueless about hardware, so I am interested in your views.  Don't you think that if a large-scale enterprise were to get into this, they would be more interested in making a custom ASIC than an FPGA?  How substantial do you imagine the power/speed gains could be for an ASIC over a GPU?

You dismiss any behavior that isn't right for you as "doesn't make sense" or "a joke".  Are you against people being gay, too?  How about people you don't speak your language, do you expect them to learn English?
 No, but I'm against woolly thinking and personal attacks like this.

467  Economy / Speculation / Re: Another Small Crash Ahead? on: September 28, 2011, 01:04:19 PM
At some mutally agreed-upon price, yes. 
468  Economy / Speculation / Re: The effect of the global financial crizis on bitcoin prices on: September 28, 2011, 01:02:19 PM
Actually, you want to be holding cash so you can pick assets up at bargain basement prices.
469  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Idea for Firefow/chrome/opera plugin on: September 28, 2011, 12:59:10 PM
I think that's a wonderful idea, but I suspect that implementing it securely would involve a continual negotiation of a maze of twisty little html/javascript/CSRF/etc. vulnerabilities, all subtly different.

Even if he's a troll he does have a point. Nice graphs there netrin!
  Can you give an example of where netrin has been trolling?

Actually, what will happen is that the hashing rate will continue to drop, and when it reaches 1TH/s, the NSA, CIA and FBI will decide that they can cost-effectively take control of the block chain and use this power to cause further mayhem and disorder in the bitcoin markets.  My crystal ball told me.

Interesting to see this thread after seeing this post on /r/Bitcoin
  They're full of shit.
473  Economy / Speculation / Re: Dead cat bounce on: September 28, 2011, 02:13:28 AM
I was responding to two individuals (old_engineer and fivebells). I was pointing out that their general sentiments ("You can't talk about economic rationality with bitcoins! Bitcoin is about faith and love and backless currency and...!") was a joke because it 1) flies in the face of both libertarianism and 2) you can't really have a currency as bitcoin purports to be without an exchange market and arbitrage.
  Mmm, strawman.

The most galling part about it is that Goldman Sachs was instrumental in engineering the Greek debt crisis in the first place.

Teslas are good for floating-point operations, but a sha256 has calculation doesn't involve very many of those.
476  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'm planning to write a book about Bitcoin, any ideas? on: September 27, 2011, 08:56:38 PM

Here's where I'm currently at. Things might move around.
Thanks.

Yes, it's really a pretty simple idea.  The mathematical notation doesn't particularly help to elucidate it.
478  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Silk Road on: September 27, 2011, 08:54:32 PM
can you configure the miner to communicate with the pool over tor? Im not sure you can. It uses http, but I dont know if it works with a proxy.
You can send ALL network traffic over tor.  I have tested ssh through it.

Moreover, you would have to keep your bitcoins at the pool and spend them from there directly, rather than transferring them to your own wallet

You can't just move them to a different, anonymous wallet?

Thanks.
480  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Disabled script operands on: September 27, 2011, 04:46:43 PM
Bump.  I'd really appreciate some help with this, because the term "script" is hard to google usefully for. :-)
