I assume this is only for US citizens , right?

Square is only available in the U.S., so far.  They have plans for going global, apparently, but only support the U.S. for now.

There are clones globally though.

PayPal Here has a dongle that can be used in Canada.  I don't know their policy on using your own credit card though.

Swiff (Singabpore), mPowa (UK), iZettle (Europe), PayLeven (Asia - Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, and Hong Kong)

And there are more in the U.S. even, Intuit, and more.

All also note that the block database (?) in the other never got to 100%, but were stuck around ~61%

Until you have a complete blockchain just ignore any balance that it shows.

So are you saying you had a complete blockchain and still had no transactions?

That is unlikely.

More likely is you are having trouble getting the full blockchain.

Just for testing, try using a copy of the blockchain from the daily:

When running a balance on your account it returns negative 5BTC instead
of what the recorded balance of 50+bitcoin is.

Would you have any idea on how this came about?

Wow, that's scary

This is starting to get very annoying. At least send a response saying you're looking at it... Does anyone know if theres anyone other than Nefario working GLBSE?

He's in #bitcoin-assets IRC channel every so often.

;;seen #bitcoin-assets nefario
<gribble> nefario was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 5 hours, 21 minutes, and 26 seconds ago: <nefario> send an email to support@glbse.com

E-mail is a horrible method for providing support once your userbase grows above all but trivial levels.  Perhaps try pinging nefario on IRC (appears to be on during business hours, GMT)

Russian hacker battles with Apple to keep in-app purchase exploit alive

 - http://www.bgr.com/2012/07/18/app-store-hack-in-app-purchases-apple-exploit/

A mention for bitcoin after PayPal blocked him from accepting payments.

Quote
The Cupertino-based company also blocked the IP address of the server used by Borodin, convinced the Russian Web host to shut down the service and even worked with PayPal to prevent him from receiving donations.

The hacker has now responded by moving to a new server that is seemingly out of Apple’s reach, and he is now accepting donations through the anonymous service Bitcoin.

[Update: I see this has been covered elsewhere as well:


Apple fails to block stolen iOS in-app content

The recent credit card company judgement allows retailers to add a surcharge to cover the cost of accepting credit cards:
 - http://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/2012/07/16/settlement-allows-retailers-to-surcharge-for-credit-card-use-will/

I can see merchants doing that and finding lots of their customers start paying with paper money and coins and learning even that isn't the ideal situation either.  There indeed seems to be a place for bitcoin here.

If you moved between XP and Windows Vista/Wiindows 7, know that there is a different directory used.

5311  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Date for 25 BTC per Block on: July 18, 2012, 05:16:55 PM
Latest update:



Charted from this data:
 - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmcTCtjBoRWUdHVRMHpqWUJValI1RlZiaEtCT1RrQmc

The last update took about 13 days and two hours, versus the 14 days it would have taken if blocks were being solved at the rate of exactly one per ten minutes.

Running from the current block and estimating the target of one block every 10 minutes, means there are a little over 141 days to go.  That puts the date for block 210,000 to late in the day on December 6th.

The wager on Bets of Bitcoin agrees that it will not be after December 9th but it is at less than a 3:1 ratio:
 - http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=312

Mining profitability is really high right now:
 - http://www.blockchain.info/charts/miners-operating-profit-margin

So I suspect we'll continue to see an increasing difficulty, and if done so gradually as has occurred for these last few, ... the date for block 210,000 arrives even sooner.
5312  Economy / Collectibles / Re: How would you like to design a bitcoin banknote? on: July 18, 2012, 04:15:09 PM
  • Your modification should allow the user to choose from NON-DENOMINATED bills, or to enter a specific denomination of their choice.  This should be implemented by having the bill artwork itself not contain the denomination - rather, the resulting code should superimpose the denomination into the correct spot onto the bill.  An example of a way to make this work is to add something into .js that modifies the DOM that was begun by bitaddress.org to include an extra text input field where the denomination can be typed.

Right now a millibit is worth about a penny.  On a computer or mobile app, we see numbers in digital form and aren't uncomfortable seeing amounts like 0.1234 BTC.    On paper currency though, there are generally only whole numbers.  

Might it make sense, now that a millibit is worth about a U.S. penny, to start using millibit as the default denomination on these paper notes?

I could see handing out as a tip, accidentally, the one printed with "50 BTC" as the amount thinking it was the note printed with "50 mBTC" that I also happened to have in my wallet.

If the base unit for these was always millibits, this would be less likey to happen.   Or possibly instead always print at least three digits after the decimal separator?  e.g., even if it is 50 BTC, the amount printed would still be printed as 50.000 BTC?

[Update: Another reason to use whole numbers.  In locales where the comma is used as the decimal separator, 12.345 BTC would be printed 12,345 BTC.]

Security
I have 20,000.00 BTC I can provide as security. I could also offer GLBSE bonds or the keys to deposit accounts - or a combination of the above. A caveat on the title is also possible but it would be simpler to secure with BTC. Ideally I would like the security placed in an escrow account where I can still earn BTC interest/dividends with it for the duration of the loan.

Heh, just like PawnCoin!

I am having trouble creating a secure cold wallet. The instructions suggest to use an Ubuntu Live CD so I have tried running bitcoind or bitcoin-qt after booting from the latest Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop CD (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop) but it complains that there is no application for executable files. What would be the easiest way to do this?


Use BitSafe perhaps?

5315  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Bitcoins to Virtual Credit Card! on: July 18, 2012, 02:11:16 AM
I can make virtual credit cards on the spot that require no name, and work anywhere. I can exchange your Bitcoin into a VCC (virtual credit card).

1 BTC [$8.20] = $8.00 in VCC money.

So exchange rate is fluctuating pretty quickly.  You might wish to express your rate relative to the latest exchange rate (e.g., that $8 if the Mt. Gox last was $8.20 is about a 2.5% discount, or value of 97.5% of the bitcoin value.)

Does this need to be spent with one merchant, or can I spend part of it with one retailer and the balance at another?

Well, that's because they didn't happen to notice.  That is, however, a violation of their user aggreement.

If the buyer gets the goods but never releases the funds, do the funds eventually get donated or assigned in some manner?

5319  Economy / Speculation / Re: Subtle market manipulation on: July 18, 2012, 12:47:41 AM
what I meant by "losing" money is that the last trade was (say) 8.46 and this bot executes a market order which trades at 8.37.  If it put in a limit at 8.45 it would probably get filled pretty quickly since in this bull market the buyers are moving up to meet the sellers book.  So it is "losing" the 9c spread for the benefit of making the market look at a casual glance like the sellers are moving down to meet the buyer's book.



Write your own bot to snap those up?  Since trading fees are on a percentage basis, it cost almost nothing.

The market will fix this .. spreads narrow and all is right in this world once again.
