Bitfinex provides a lending/trading market, the current rates of interest for USD is high because traders are desperate to borrow USD. When the current bitcoin rally ends the lending rates of USD will go down. I am currently long, but I set my position before the rate increased and borrowed at 18%.

I think this is too much info. In some situations, where the owner of an address is known, it could be used to track the activities of that user. I'm all for Bitfinex being transparent, but it should not come at the expense of your users privacy.

For me, bitcoin presents an opportunity to escape from the strangle hold of the international banking systems.

This would be important if America was the only country in the world. But it's not, and the development of 3d printing technology will continue unimpeded.

I'm selling space cash for bitcoins, if anyone's interested.

The only thing that will stop this forward motion will be SERIOUS US govn't regulation or some time of police (bankster) state crackdown on exchanges an/or bitcoin businesses. Fortunately the amount of time it take to get anything done in the US congress, any regulation will be years in coming.
The US accounts for only a small percent of bitcoins economy. The attention garnered from a US crack down could cause the price to increase.

Yes, ASIC's were supposed to be a scam and crash the market, but it looks like no one informed the developers.

I think this is a good idea. Maybe you should post it as a project on CIYAM Open.

Due to a mass of trolling, only established posters are able to post in non-newbie sections. You are considered "established" if you have spent 4 hours online and have made 5 posts (new topics or replies). If you have really good posts, you can post a request for preemptive whitelisting in the appropriate topic. Also: - Newbies cannot upload their own avatars. - You must have made one post in order to send PMs. - You need 10 posts to put a link in your signature. Note that it may take up to 10 minutes for your PM or posting permissions to be granted. (The system automatically checks every 10 minutes and promotes people as appropriate.)

Bears are becoming rare because they are being hunted to extinction, but if I see any I will let you know.

Maybe what you need is a bitcointalk board of trustees. Where their responsibility's include collecting, storing and distributing of the bitcointalk funds.

I am actually somewhat intrigued to build a bot of my own, but I have to admit my programming knowledge is extremely limited (I have dabbled a bit with java and C++, but I never really got much further than the "hello world" examples because I didn't realy have a project or a use for it). Does anybody here have any experience in making a bot? Is it very complicated to create one, or are there "templates" or examples to start from? A nudge in the right direction would be appreciated (or a warning if it is very foolish to engage in this for an inexperienced user).
I suggest you be not afraid and dive in. Coding is fun. However I also suggest you don't give your bot access to too much money. It's probably a good idea to build a kind of simulation sandbox first (simulated mtgox server running historic trades), so you can test your bot in a sandbox. Yes, I was thinking about removing most of my funds from the exchange on beforehand. Simulation sandbox seems like a wise idea, although I currently have no idea how to start with it. I guess I'll get a clearer picture when I learn a bit more about it. Why not just create a gox bot account and only credit it with a bitcent or something? A sandbox is going to be more complex than you might think. To get an accurate simulation of gox you will also need to simulate the gox api lag during high trade volumes.

You're definitely still a 'Newbie', it says so under your name on the left. After five posts and four hours you should have become a 'Jr Member'.
