I've enjoyed watching the "Currently valued at" go up but it would be somewhat painful to lose that much now.

I wish there was a more fireproof way. I have a couple of ideas but they would be too expensive for a one-off and it's not really something you could do as a service.

Diversification.

To a paper wallet. It's insane that my cellphone is worth more than my car.

Wow. Thanks

I'm thinking of adding an alarm next. Also, it should display 0 (or useful text) when there is no result, not "null". I want to get the text looking tidier too (it's better than the original but still not nice enough). If anyone has any suggestions, I'll probably try and get any low-hanging fruit.

I might be. I don't like to commit unless I'm sure and I'm fluid on a lot of stuff right now. I'll keep an eye on this thread.

I was thinking of something a little more poetic.

like the 30s would be the "silver tear" era, the 40s could be "bears remorse" etc

Not sure for the 90s. "Burning oil" perhaps?

The government , through taxes and legislation causes companies to reinvest profits and attempt to grow rather than simply pay dividends to shareholders. This leads to lack of good indicators and malinvestment. Hence the above.

Ah, we can all play what-if. If you could see into the past, you could just put everything on 1 at the right time. You operated with the information you had at the time. Retroactive regret is pointless.

Forward! to 100!

I think we need to start naming these epochs...

I don't understand. Must be a cultural thing.

Thanks. I appreciate the speedy response and all is good now with no harm done. Things don't always go right but it's how we respond to them that counts. Well done.

I'd say I've seen a couple of small bubbles. The thing is that a bubble deflating in the face of an underlying increase can still lead to a positive gradient.

And don't forget, there can be negative bubbles too. Less likely with fedgov running the presses until they glow red hot but nonetheless...

The thing is, there certainly are the right conditions for a bubble. Too much cash with nowhere to go. OTOH BTC is undervalued right now so cash may not be inflating a bubble, just inflating a ball to the right pressure.

This is Bitcoin in my eyes right now:

Careful how you spend your bitcoins here. There seems to be quite a serious bug in the allocation algorithm.

A little over 24 hours ago, I put £150 through. Two hours ago I tried to put another 150 through but because I was within the 24 hours, only 50 went through with 100 held back (fair enough). However, now that the 24 hours from the first 150 is up, my 100 is still being held. The status page seems to be indicating that it will be held until 24 hours from when the 50 trade went through. That's 22 hours away. I could lose quite a bit between now and then. Not a good bug to have.

Current price is £58.09191

My box rebooted so I was on anyway. Just another datapoint that 3333 is apparently still not working. Doesn't look to be the network:

OK, I feel ready to release the Android app. It's not finished yet but last night I stayed up way too late tweaking the graphics a little and adding a settings screen so you can view your own hashrate and not just mine .

Any tips welcome. Suggestions also welcome but any accompanied by a little BTCBTCBTC will obviously get more attention

Though it may not be worth it, I'll give it a try.

Does anyone have a link to cheap, decent cases for the coins? Probably don't want to buy more than a few if I can help it.

Not locally. It's always possible something happened upstream but I've never had an issue like that and 3333 is a bit of an obscure port to block at random.

As well, I'm no expert on stratum but that looks to me like it was able to connect and then ran into other problems. Unfortunately, it's not exactly the most enlightening set of error messages (bane of my worklife at the moment) so *shrug*. If it would be helpful to you, I'd be willing to throw on a little packet sniffing but since I'm hearing happy fans right now, it's not a big priority for me (I've been working on that Android app and will throw it up somewhere tomorrow)

Yes. I guess on the upside, I would likely have been cursing myself for giving away something that became worth so much (I probably wouldn't have directly replaced them).
