By pennies I mean the trillions of dollars used IN pennies.  There are more currency units used in Bitcoin then the entire fiat money supply expressed in pennies.

That still brings me back to my point. It is not practical to the layman. The masses are already easily confused using 2 decimal points; and you somehow think that using a currency that has 8 decimal points is something John & Jane Doe are going to be able to use easily?

You move the decimal place eight points to the right and call them satoshis?

Was that really that hard? Or are you one of the 'masses' you are disparaging?

<RogerVer> On Tuesday Mark told me via text message: Currently filing for bankruptcy and will update based on that
My guess is the shit hit the fan for Gox between the start and the abrupt end of the acquisition of their US customers by Coinlab.
There was probably a reason why they were "reluctant" to turn over those accounts.

Peter Vesseness + US Feds ... why do those two keep cropping up together in fucked up situations?

Gox got goxed alright.

Is it really that unbelievable?

Gox is such an epic fail of gargantuan proportions that it probably involves the Government in some way shape or form.

I would not be surprised if an agency or two comes out of this with a bloody nose and red-faces if they are caught messing with the honey-badger. A transparent ledger works both ways, no hiding behind legal lies ...

I want a ban on idiotic Senators.

Is that possible? About as much as a ban on Bitcoin  Kiss

Wow. Great stuff ... he's back and a new ally too!

Some irrefutable commentary in here folks, anti-dote to the nauseating fiat propaganda flooding the airwaves and your minds daily.

On second thoughts, he's probably just trolling ... good one senator troll, attention whore.

The free market will provide ... just give it time and space to work.

Ratings agencies, insurance companies ... where do you think these originally came from, the end of a bureaucrat's pen?

Guy is a lost cause ... who voted for idiots like these?

Edit: not to mention he comes across as an extremist whackjob ... banning peaceful commerce, really?

I have a question if you don't mind answering. What is the strange looking operator in your profile picture? Every time you post I can't stop wondering what it is.

... here's a plot of interval -6pi < x< 6pi I shared with Jorgi the other day

Lol, I've always wondered that too.  I just crunched the product in Mathematica and it converged to an equation involving Gamma functions.  Perhaps Marcus can share its significance.

Really? That's cool. Mind if I see the Mathematica output?

f(x) = Sqrt[Pi]/(Gamma[(Pi + x)/(2Pi)] Gamma[1 - x/(2Pi)])

wow ... you might have just solved a long standing problem ... I'll let you know.

run 2 years until wallet is dry, all supposed UTXO turn out to be STXO and all real UTXO are in nirvana already.

Sounds like the sort of thing that should not happen but often does...

But what about those clients who complained publicly that they did NOT receive the withdrawals?  The hackers only "un-malleated" the transfer requests of their own withdrawals, leaving those alone?



... don't attribute to malice that which can be easily explained by incompetence.

I'm getting a sense now the way people are dancing around the issue is that Gox has sent a huge number of coins (600k plus) into never never land.

No one said safe, convenient crypto transfers would be easy.

He's probably been simply ignoring all those valid complaints of "I didn't get my coins ..." when they got sent to a black-hole address by his bad software.
4855  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: February 26, 2014, 02:26:18 AM
Bitcoins are indeed scarce and after Gox they will get much, much scarcer.

The biggest lesson from Gox is DONT LEAVE YOUR COINS ON THE EXCHANGES! ... or in fact with anybody else.

That means a whole lot of coins are gonna get pulled from the exchanges ... yep GOX failure means scarcer coins, simple as that.
4856  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: February 25, 2014, 08:50:59 AM
Well this is sad. Not only because I'll never get my bitcoins back but because it looks bad in general. Karples will go down as the greatest enemy bitcoin ever had.

... and indeed he is ... there are few more like him in the 'community' who's weak hearts will be tested by the ruthless market and found wanting.
4857  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: February 25, 2014, 07:24:07 AM

But at the same time that the news about Mt. Gox was emerging, a New York firm announced plans to create an exchange that could draw the world’s largest banks into the virtual currency market for the first time.

Well fuck me.

oh yeah ... the banks want your coinz ... pysched out much yet?

Hope bitstamp's engine is up to this ... last time we saw these volumes the POS closed up shop for two days ....

Is this what it felt like in the 2011 crash or nowhere near it?

Can anyone draw any parallels to the current sentiment?

I'd say we are not there yet ... too many bulls still ...
