Personally, I think the cat picture will do a better job than that bear. Even so, he will win if nobody submitted an entry.

What are you talking about? Your image was better then that cat. Undecided

Provide a picture or the cat picture will become the automatic winner.

It is irritating that bitbot is constantly disconnecting! I propose we should move bitbot to a vps, not connected with the owner's net connection or computer.

Of course, we'll need to do something about monthly payment for bitbot. However, who will pay? Those who pay for bitbot hosting are suckers, and everyone else just leech off those who pay for bitbot.

Someday, Jeffrey Trucker is going to run an eloquent article on the beauty of bitcoin and free market money on mises.org. Trust me on this.  Wink

No luck, anyway.

What OS / Chrome version are you using?


Archlinux distro. Chrome version 6.0.472.62.

Well I'll consider it a step in the right direction. Are you still getting your balance when you click the icon? If not, are your options still set after the upgrade?

Oh, I forgot! Didn't start my bitcoin daemon. Will do and test again.

No luck, anyway.

So MtGox, now that you given up on finding a suitable withdrawal method....


What do you have planned for MtGox in the future?

Guys, try not to use words that the average Six Joepack may not understand.

Like this:

Bitcoin is a digital commodity that can be used for commerce and bartering.
5189  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in 15 Words for Laymen on: October 26, 2010, 06:15:49 PM
Bitcoin is a measure unit for a decentralized electronic commodity, whose total amount is limited by cryptographic concepts such as the "proof-of-work", instead of trust in a third party.


I think you exceeded the 15 words limit.

Bitpredict will be resuming development with the project to learn how mybitcoin merchant API work for soulplaying.com

Once that is done, development of bitpredict's market system will begin in earnest.

I challenge the forum to come up with the easiest to understand explanation of bitcoin in 15 words for Joe Sixpack!

Austrian economics is a tight field at the national level, I'd bet dollars to donuts that a great many are already aware of Bitcoin and are either watching it from a quiet distance or have written it off because it's not backed. 

Bitcoin is a free market currency! It arise spontaneously! What not to like?

I've updated the extension so it doesn't use notifications anymore. Instead, it creates its own little box in the upper right of your browser tab. Please let me know if this works for you or not, or if you encounter any odd behaviors.

What happens if someone turns out to be a crook which is authenticated?

Begin prosecution? On what grounds? And if the scammer from another country?

Nothing is foolproof?

I am currently a teenager with no job.
Before you start accusing me of living of my parents.
My parents where decently living in Poland before we moved here 16 years ago. They had good jobs (Teacher and Programmer) and a house and where able to support doing almost whatever they felt like.
Now that we moved to Canada.

I think we have found the disconnect.  Canada isn't a capitalist society, it's a social market democracy like many in Europe.  You're blaming capitalism for problems not caused by it.
My parents pay the mortgage too and my mom just doesn't make all that much. We're in the same socialeconomic status, but we hang out with entirely different folks.

I hang out with hackers and geeks, all of which tend to be oriented toward libertarianism. This has lead me to a very different understanding of the world.

The situation isn't exactly analogous to be sure. My relatives own two nail shops. They're rising in socialeconomic status. My family does, with my sis finished her college education.

The Vietnamese people tend to integrate politically well. They also tend to be vehemently anti-communists. They also happen to own supermarket, nail shop, saloon, etc. They are a very entrepreneurial people. I think entrepreneurial traits is very consistent with immigrant populations in the United States.

Even so, hackers start all sort of startups these days, not just work for pointy haired boss. It's very hard to say "I hate capitalism" in that environment, in that philosophical framework. It just doesn't make sense. Even if I am poor as dirt, I have a future, I can advance, and help make the world a better place.
5197  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Buy and Sell Mt Gox USD on: October 26, 2010, 03:12:24 AM
So did mt.gox have all cash seized for money laundering or just card fraud?
Is trading mt.gox money rely just passing off bad debt?
And why is mt.gox putting up fake low quotes?

The way I see it if you buy bitcoins at $0.20gox you'll at least get half of your coin back.
If you wait too long the feds mite find his box then you get nothing.
It was a good try, and I thank mt.gox for the try.

If mt.gox was the edonky.com of bitcoin who is the pirate bay?
Perhaps we could take from the "hawala" system.
If you sell on ebay the old e-con-o-my will con you just like it did mt.gox.


Being ignorant of the situation is no excuse to write bad post accusing MtGox of things that actually did not happen.

From a large corporation, a purely profit driven enterprise, faceless and cruel.
Most don't have unions, minimum wages and ignore the cries of employees.
The producer of the item being liberated is already payed in full.

Why do you think the biggest most powerful unions are government worker ones? Unions don't do squat for workers they eventually become overly beauracratic and the companies pay off the union reps to lobby on their behalf.

The best idea is to not have a state  interfering in individual bargaining between free people.


Highly paid parasites that sucks up whatever jobs was left.

Have you ever known what it like to be a poor farmer? My father was a farmer back in Vietnam before we came to the states.

On the contrary, we're wealthier than ever before. Whatever lowly position my father hold today, it is a blessing. We didn't make much, but that's alright.

I count the bigass 3D TV, speedy internet, computers, and books, amongst my blessing.

But you decided that minimum wage is not enough. And you know what? I am unemployed as a teen. It took me a while to find a freelancing job. That, I graciously accepted for little pay. You, on the other hand, have the audacity to decide who is and who is not being exploited.

I despise that.

Fair enough for me.
In today's common society you must obey the law and its rulers however wrong they are, but I love to spread anarchy with little things free hugs downtown, free food to the homeless, finding ways to get stuff for free (dumpster diving, shoplifting) and most of all showing others they can do the same.

And I would consider shoplifting to be a form of theft.
