no I've been paying attention and it's madness. BTC trading is frozen across the board. Frozen!!! Chilly!!! 

BTC-e says 59
Bitcoinwatch(mtgox) says 124.90 (has for hours)
Vircurex bid/ask is 59/66.

Is MtGox down?


Craziness ...... 

dilution is relative -- just because you release doesn't mean anyone will care.

WARNING -- I lost access to my account all of a sudden over the weekend -- maybe it was hacked, maybe not, not sure -- but my password suddenly stopped working and the reset function claims a message was sent but either a) none was, or b) the email was also fraudulently changed. I emailed supprt @ btce and they never responded. I lost some NMC and BTC.

In the main Mincoin mining post, the author indicated the following:


Wondering if there is a way to accomplish this in Windows?

I want aircoin that can be run on a TRS-80 16 KB RAM....

MadAlphaa: nother newb here paying some attention to this thread MadAlpha, so anything you get up and going and report on would be appreciated. You mentioned mining LTC over BTC, any particular reason (you think it will be more profitable, etc?)

This video is better:

"So people lose faith in [the Euro] and gain faith in a currency with no power to tax?..." 

"Every few hours [the supply of bitcoin] multiplies, and than halves... it's this very complicated thing..."   

"IT SOUNDS LIKE AN AMOEBA"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA the AMOEBA Coin. I love it. 

Now, let's also predict where Litecoin will be? Late last year it was 9 cents. Two days ago it was 45 cents and today it's 63 cents. https://btc-e.com/exchange/ltc_usd. 

I kinda agree we'll see a pullback into the 20's (look for support around 25). If that holds it's a buying opportunity and the next push will be between 60-75.

Short term

Long term, I thnk the max price  is attainable: [global GDP $69.97T / max BTC (21M) = $3,300,000] per coin; less any that is allocated to some of the other currencies out there LTC, NVC, NMC, etc...

So let's say a cool $1M/coin and leave at that   

I would use amazon/ebay more if they offered BTC payment. Especially ebay. Paypal is a nightmare.

Greyhawk, I guess I'm not really sure. I was just wondering if it was python, RoR.... etc.

I would like to get whitelisted so I could meet up with some folks, for example, this poster:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=141873.0

and I'm also located often out of Seattle so I was going to try to get together with some BTC folks there too...

Once BTC reaches full value: = Global GDP / All outstanding BTC (that is, ~$3M per coin), there will a small and dedicated group of people easter egg hunting old hard drives for coins, in landfills, abandoned buildings, etc., anywhere an old, forgotten hard drive might turn up....

Cool site, what did you program it in?

Also, are you planning to eventually add Litecoin? Just curious.

with that resolved now we can move to discussion to why this happened and what that means for the confidence in bitcoin.

Since i can't post on the technical board I thought I'd start a thread here.

Summary of latest advice for casual (non-miner) BTC users:

If you are using BTC 0.8, switch back to 0.7 and wait this ting out before making any transactions.

Interesting to note a t MTGox BTC buyers don't seem to really care. The price is holding $45 with little problem....

note, this is a technical assistance inquiry: I would've posted this to the technical help board but since I am a new poster the system will not allow this.


I have ~5 BTC on an old laptop (Windows 7) and I tried moving the balance to another client. At first I tried moving about 0.1 BTC just to see what would happen. The client debitted the balance but it never "took" (that is, I never received the 0.1 BTC, and I know it is a good address). The client informed me I should update immediately so I updated to the latest version (v 0.8.0). The client would not load the wallet so I googled around and found a solution that said try to move all the files out of this directory EXCEPT for wallet.dat:


c:\Users\[Me]\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin


I made a copy of this folder elsewhere and emptied all the files except for wallet.dat, and I am now downloading the blockchain. However, intermittently I get this error:


System error: CDB(): can't open database file wallet.dat, error -30974


Which causes the client to close. Right now I am simply re-opening bitcoin, where it will run for awhile (download a maybe a few hundred blocks or so) and then close again.


So the current issues are:
1) the 0.1 BTC I mentioned above is still showing as being debitted from the total inside the local bitcoin client though there is no freceipt at the receiving address, and this is confirmed by blockchain.info
2) I cannot create a new address to send coins (though I'd be scared to try this again now anyways)
3) the client will not load the blockchain without indicating the error above and closing

Any help would be appreciated. I really don't want to lose $230 worth of bitcoin right now.
