I haven't thought this through, but would it make sense to include fiat amounts in the transaction history? I mean the actual historical worth, not the based-on-today's-exchange-rates worth. If you are already storing transaction data locally, adding this field would be trivial. If you are pulling the list from the server based on address(es), it might be too much work.
This. And more currencies please. $$ are of no use where I and 90% of humanity live. |

This poll makes me sad when I think about the coins I USE to own and sold for the price of a burger.  . If only I held onto them I could potentially buy a house! Bitcoin is where it is because you traded them. Don't be sad. Be proud to be an early adopter. |

If some "for obvious reasons we stay anonymous" company runs it, I would certainly not invest.
If my brother runs it, I would invest.
With anybody in between these two, I would invest more or less time to decide if it's worth the hassle.

I hate polls that force me to pick a random number to see which random numbers the other clowns picked. What do you think how reliable the data is you get here?

Did anyone give them a try yet? Iam very intrested
The author of the OP hasn't been active at all in the last 18 days. At least I would guess this business is not a big one. Maybe he knows somebody who knows somebody who works in a travel agency? |

He wouldn't need to buy all of them. If his purchasing streak pushes prices up so high, or so fast, that nobody will sell them or use them, then for all practical purposes, bitcoin is dead. A currency with no current is not.
On the contrary, as the price of bitcoins goes up people will be more inclined to use them. People will offer steep discounts on the items they sell to get the bitcoin in the hope those bitcoins will go up in value even more. Right. The stores confirm this. Bitcoin highes are rush hours on bitmit and others. Do you remember the source of this? I guess https://www.bitcoinstore.com/ mentioned this here on the forum and bitmit confirmed it but basically that's quite logical from my own experience. If only I head the money to buy this, this and that … if exchange rate rises, I will spend some coins. In my case it would be about a major investment and not about buying small stuff I don't actually need. I don't see anything bad about a deflationary money stopping people from buying stuff they don't need. Would save the world a whole bunch of problems. Actually I dream of effects like planned obsolescence being an actual argument when buying stuff, as with fiat money, anything but spending it is just stupid no matter if the jeans fall apart before washing them for the first time or if they hold for a lifetime but with honest money people will start to think about buying stuff that doesn't loose its value. |

1. How you know he has 1M bitcoins?
2. Maybe he lost the private key
1. 1M coins were mined with the same PC in the beginning and none of these coins moved. 2. "He" didn't. Trust me on that. My assumption is that "Satoshi" mined and bought many more coins and we will know who it is in less than 5 years from now. |

A currency with no current is a store of value just as an atom that sheds no electrons is still potential energy. Bitcoin is money, not a currency traded for a single commodity at the highest market price on a universal exchange. Bitcoin is not more or less dead whether a bitcoin can be sold for $4 USD or $265 USD. People tend to hoard coins as prices move up and they tend to spend coins as prices move down. Bitcoins are commonly exchanged for values that are unrelated to a fiat currency. The market would have "current" as it finds a balance between hoarding and spending. It seems, from looking at the amount of transactions and the experiences of bitcoin shop owners, that the reverse is actually happening: people hoard coins as the price drops (hoping they will go up again in the future), and people spend coins as they go up in price (taking advantage of the increased buying power of their money). With one prominent exception: Satoshi Nakamoto never spent his 1,000,000Ƀ, most likely cause he knows it's going much higher. |

continue reading at the new post is a great feature but it's rendered pointless in threads where people post one-liners when you have a big screen as it can't scroll down such that the "new post" ends up on the top of your screen.
Please either highlight the article I jumped to or allow it to stroll there by adding tons of empty or whatever space below the posts. Both changes should be rather trivial but especially in low frequency threads finding the actual new content always wastes seconds.

something is seriously wrong with the charts. I just saw, high 133, volume 3k but market depth was somewhat old.
I hit refresh and the high was at 130. Seconds later a rally to 135 started. Volume 5k. Depth did not get updated again.
I refreshed again. Now it shows high as 135 again, last volume is only 400 and depth can't possibly be what it should look like such a spike.
Please fix it. It's kind of not trustworthy now.
When you enter the page, chart data and last price may be up to 20 (AFAIR) seconds old. I'll try to improve that and I'll update the thread with this info. Well, I noticed that but when it finally caught up, it was coming to different results every time. Are you doing some checkpoint + delta thingy? Looks like it's skipping some data on heavy action and it definitely was not right after 20 s. The traded volume was random. Regarding market depth there are some problems on mtgox side, and they stopped responding on their ticket system even though I keep sending them messages about it. So for now there is no full depth.
That's unfortunate. Maybe tell the user you know it's inaccurate or better give a hint on how inaccurate it actually is. |

Yes, the team uses pen names and put google images as our pics for obvious privacy reasons.
Yup. Very obvious privacy reasons. A scammer needs his privacy. |

Ok, so lets assume one of Mike Hearn's microtransaction channel per person with a one year timeout was used. This way only 2 transactions would need to hit the blockchain per person per year. All the rest could be instant, micro and off the chain anonymous transactions without third party risk. The dream of every bitcoin user but:
8billion * 2kB = 16TB of data per year. With 50k blocks per year 16TB/50k = 300MB per block. Lets get there in 10 years, keep incentives to move transactions off the blockchain and nobody will complain. Even Satoshi Dice would work better with microtransaction channels anyway.

If anyone has more patience and time to look up info on these operations please share your findings.
Nothing to add. I mean I was convinced long before but whoever puts money on this company after your post, deserves his CC to be emptied. |
