Phorensic has been wrong so far: I shorted at 2.75 and then more at 2.80. I'm sure it will fall back to 2.50, even if momentarily. The waiting is killing me. I'm a day trader, not a big slow swing trader dangit.
Yep. Take my advice with a grain of salt. I made a ton of positive trades before that...I mean a ton. Here we are above 3.00 and I took a 12% loss on my shorts to open a long. I talk, but I am no S3052 type person to guarantee my advice. I still suck at this IMO. |

How much BTC are you moving around? How much can you change the price? You say you are trying to reduce volatility. So you have at least half of the 50,000 BTC guy sitting @2.63 currently, right?

Maybe time to rehash an old meme?   |

Looks like an imgur.com linked blog now.
Btw, do you guys magic-wand your own logo?
lol, it is cheaply magic-wanded! Graphic design fail. It's also really color banded from compressing too many times during the edits. Gox, you gotta pay attention to these things if you want to be 100% professional! Anyway, I agree with the other comments on information density. Everything is too large and spread out. Tighten up the layout a bit with the CSS (should cost nothing). Also, where is the dang leverage! Dropped the ball! I'm being a bit dramatic because I am bored. Gox still has the lead IMO. |

Uh, yes, very impressive. I was limited to a single spindle of 7200rpm HDD on our Mining pool and I couldn't get my SQL db response below 10ms even with everything supposedly cached in RAM. I realize that was a really crappy hardware setup for a SQL server, but are you using SSD?
Edit: I work with and have tuned the shit out of a 24 spindle NetApp system at work, so I'm not new to DB and disk performance measuring.

I hit liquidate manually. You are right, I wasn't leveraged, that's why I said 1:1. Still not good enough at Bitcoinica style trading to go above my actual margin.

wow. the Dow is goiing vertical. will it hit +500?
Has anyone done an overlay with gox over the Dow, yet? I would like to see if it lines up. |

time to get this thread going again.
so who got Zhoutawnged today?
Me...sonofabiatch. Attempt to play down: Wasn't leveraged more than 1:1, didn't get a margin call, just liquidated at 12% loss...dangit. |

It used to swing whole dollar amounts in seconds a couple months ago! I'm actually not waiting for it to hit 2.50, Just even 2.70 or 2.65 would be good. The spread on Bitcoinica is so large it turns day trading into swing trading, though. We need the spread of a few pips, not 10 cents!
How did you fare? I had an account with 1$ holding up a position shorting 10 BTC. It now has a margin value of negative 20 cents. I'm not in the green yet  Gonna wait this one out. I agree with the predictions of the resistance level at $3.00. We are still on a long term down trend, haven't really shown up trend for long enough. HOWEVER, I do feel like the 2.00-3.00 range is the bottom and soon I will switch to bull mode. I don't know how to trade on a market that rises very well, yet. I have done most of my trading on the slide from $30 to now. |

Anyone else having trouble with cgminer 2.0.8 requiring periodic restarts to solve network issues?
I saw this morning that my hashrate was pretty much zero on both my machines and had been for an hour or so. It kept switching pools and complaining the main pool and failover pool (slush) were too slow. Hashrate of bitminter and slush pool itself was good, so it had to be me.
Checked my internet connection and it seemed fine. Restarted my routers nonetheless. No change.
Then I stopped and restarted cgminer on the linux machine, and it instantly worked smooth again, no performance or network issues, while the other miner (windows) still kept complaining about "slow to respond" and having 0 hashrate most of the time, with only short bursts of normal performance on any of the pools. Both machines are on the same LAN, so it didnt seem like a network issues. After restarting the second cgminer, it also instantly performed fine again.
Im a little confused? Ive never had this. I had cgminer 2.0.7 running for months nonstop and Ive had cgminer 2.0.8 up since it was released with no problems.
I have this issue too. If I start some download which consumes 100% of my link, the miners can't reach the pool and, the hashrate slowsdown and, never come up again automatically. So, I need to stop/start cgminer. Sounds like bad QoS settings on your router. |

I'm trying to short the shit out of this market again and this "slow climb" is killing me. Stop it!

You are totally right and I was wondering the same thing the last couple days. I miss the days where it would swing WAY more with way less orders on the books and no stupid walls.

Also since Bitcoinica is linked directly to Mt Gox by redeem codes, if there is ever arbitrage to be made between the two, you can just cycle your money between the two nearly instantly.
Theoretically. The last few times we had a strong dip, I attempted to take my bitcoinica profit from a short position and move it right over to gox to buy cheap coins. Well every time I hit the "withdraw as coupon" button, it generated an error, and I had to bother Zhou and Jon to get them to generate it manually (which takes too long because they are busy people). That little glitch caused me to miss my chance to buy up more coins than i started with on more than one occasion. Now that bitcoinica has also implemented straight up exchange, this should not pose as much of a problem. Only caveat is that you are going to pay more in fees for that market exchange order on Bitcoinica. The "Guaranteed Exchange Rage" lags the price on Gox and is set up for more than a 0.6% fee that Gox charges. Today I said 'eff it! and did an exchange on Bitcoinica anyway. |

Speaking of which, watch how fast MtGox copies Bitcoinica and tries to include everything they do.
I can't believe, out of the 100 shitty posts you make per day, you actually said something I agree with. I believe the countdown on Gox is to release features that Bitcoinica started (well, it's just standard forex stuff anyway). |

This is my new favorite charting platform at the current version. Thanks Clark. I've been through at least 5 different web-based and stand-alone charting packages and they aren't as nice as what you are providing. The only thing I could ask for is a way to visualize the depth chart, instead of, or in addition to a table of numbers. It's easier for me to see where the walls sit with a graphic than a number. I'm weird like that. Oh, and I know this kills the layout of your page, but could we somehow get more horizontal width for the chart? I realize that would stop it from lining up with the lower section, but it currently only uses 1/3 of my 16:9 screen - so much real estate wasted. Maybe make it scalable? Now I'm picking your project apart after giving it two thumbs up, lol!
