5601  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [3500 GH/s]HHTT -Selected Diff/Stratum/PPS/Paid Stales/High Availability/Tor on: March 29, 2013, 03:08:28 AM
What's the public key in the app? I enter my btc address used in the pool and it does not work.

@Fireduck, the new PPS System looks promising as the pool has a lot of smaller miners, who will have yet another reason to stay.

It should just be the same one as the pool. Possibly you typoed? Make sure there are no spaces at the beginning or end also. If that doesn't help, let me know and I'll make sure that the next version has some debugging that would help.

banks are businesses that want ot make money. Deposit boxes are one way of making money. They dont give a crap what you store there, as long as its not illegal.

Though at the one I used, they always gave you privacy when you accessed your box.

I think it's interesting that we see these flash crashes but not so much the opposite, the price running up crazy followed by a rapid return to normal. I'm sure it means something, probably about psychology & stuff. If I believed in TA, I might name it something and spout some mumbo jumbo...
5604  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer - MtGoxUSD wall movement tracker on: March 28, 2013, 11:52:48 PM
But at times like this flash crash it's not so good.  I just tried to buy 20btc for my brother for GBP after he failed after finding blockchain.info/pingit is down and he couldn't get his head around LB himself.  Then after that by the time I'd found my first choice was actually out of coin the price the opportunity had gone within the price range he wanted to pay .  In the UK the problem is even worse than the States I think!

Yet despite all this enough buying pressure  is getting through to the markets for this phenomenal growth.  Surely that tells us something!

speedybitcoin.o.uk are pretty OK. They buy at market and there's a locked-in GBP to other-currency exchange built in but if you just want to buy bitcoins quickly without too hefty a cost, give them a look. Keep en eye on the strength of the pound vs other currencies though, they've already done that conversion and factor it into your costs

Anyone who thinks this is a catastrophe should remember that several years ago, the GBP fell 20c against the dollar, ~2 -> ~1.80 virtually overnight and is now hanging out around a little over 1.50. Now, that was a serious hit and supposedly a solid currency.

Nice little easter present for me. If it drops again, I'm in for more.

You can send me $90 too, feel free. Action is the trait of a real man. Smiley

Sorry, the fundamentals are all wrong.
5610  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is it foolish to wait for a correction? on: March 28, 2013, 09:21:14 PM
If $90 means nothing to you PM me and you can shoot me a BTC.

Yes. Because that's how investment works. You pay the broker your money and that's it. Goodbye money.

Personally, I don't think that BTC is going to crash but if it did, $90 would be pretty insignificant to most people for being wiped out. Though if that's too rich for your blood, perhaps buy 1/2 or less.  Roll Eyes

Besides, if you're living in a first-world country and that's too much for you, perhaps you shouldn't be thinking of investing anyway. Go flip some burgers and get some capital behind you.

If they fan key log you password, they can access your key file.  But sure, a key file is better than a four digit password.

Hard (but not impossible) to do with an air gap.

Just remember that Bitcoin is EXPERIMENTAL. I'm bullish on it but I wouldn't put my 'nads in a vice dependent on its success. It still has several big tests to endure.
5613  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is it foolish to wait for a correction? on: March 28, 2013, 09:10:19 PM
Last I checked everyone around here was selling snake oil. You're pulling numbers out of your ass like "bullish at $1000" and there's absolutely no basis for the claim. But you're confusing, or even convincing, a lot of new blood to put skin in the game and get burned.

Burned for the cost of 1BTC? Skin in the game means someone is more likely to be paying attention. Roller-coasters look a whole lot different from the ground than when you're riding them.

I wonder if a way to do the metal thing would be to have the metal generated by a service but it just contains a long, random string. You use the random string as a passphrase to encrypt/decrypt the wallet.dat file itself. Then you can store the encrypted file wherever you want and you can keep the key somewhere secure. It's still not perfect but close. It also means you can encrypt a new wallet should you need to and could be used for other purposes also.

Can only bounce so many times before the bulls run out of fiat,

Not the rate the government(s) are running the presses.
5616  Economy / Speculation / Re: The last leg to $100 on: March 28, 2013, 08:30:16 PM
Wow, went from $94 down to 87.85 as I type just on my lunch break, wonder how fast the rebound to 100 will be?

I dunno. But it wasn't in the 80s long enough for me to buy in...
5617  Economy / Speculation / Re: I'm cashing out... on: March 28, 2013, 07:40:34 PM
To a paper wallet. It's insane that my cellphone is worth more than my car. Cheesy

why don't people keep multiple trucrpt files around the web with PDF's in them?Huh

scatter a few round several email addresses, dropbox etc etc etc, USB, HD's,

you can never loose them that way

To be fair, I did make a paper backup of the wallet on my phone. If I could remember where it is Cheesy

Mostly I'm just thinking that I need to protect what I have now. I don't consider my cellphone a high-security device.
5618  Economy / Economics / Re: Physical bitcoins selling for absurd prices!! on: March 28, 2013, 05:43:40 PM
It's important to remember that these aren't actual bitcoins, just tokens containing a wallet preloaded with 1 BTC. I suspect the first ones will be worth a healthy amount one day though (though that price is a bit overboard IMO).
5619  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin instead of 401k? on: March 28, 2013, 05:38:35 PM
If your employer contributes, that's free money.  6% is kinda low in any case.

You might want to consider halving your contributions and putting the other half into bitcoins and plan to do it for 2 years instead of one (reconsider after the first year). Though remember, long term, Bitcoin isn't an investment (which isn't to say that it currently isn't a good long-term investment). Sooner or later, all it will produce in terms of increasing value is from mild deflation.
5620  Economy / Speculation / Re: i'm torn. what would you do? on: March 28, 2013, 04:59:36 PM
In after proudhon.

Op just be glad you don't have a few hundred bitcoin and must make that decision  Grin

proudhon says sell, so that means i should wait, right?

No. It means sell a kidney for BTC.
