It is still out.!! No idea how long it's going to take.!! this sucks.!! I personally dont think it is a similar situation to mt.gox..! but anyways they should sort it out soon.!

That may not happen today, we're not talking about some minor bug here. They need to properly investigate the issue prior to re-opening.

Thank you all for your patience, we are working diligently to restore service and hope to have an ETA later today.

I want to ask, can I bump own thread??  Roll Eyes

There are no rules forbidding that, as far as I know. But there is no spam/meaningless post policy.

So if you post just 'bump' to often, then you could get banned.

It's best to bump with constructive posts.

Hello.
Where I can buy Ethereum?

You can't.

The initial pre-launch sale is closed. You have to wait till the launch, it should get on the exchanges soon after.
5725  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Where to buy Bitcoin on: January 05, 2015, 11:56:13 AM
I haven't tried this myself yet. But you can buy with DOGES with PayPal at https://www.weselldoges.com/limits and exchange it to bitcoin on any exchange (such as https://shapeshift.io/)

They're FinCen compliant http://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/2px36q/weselldoges_is_now_fincen_compliant_as_a_us_money/.

You would only need to get email verification. The daily limit is $15, but that shouldn't be a problem in your case. The total conversion fees may be a bit high tho.

I don't know whether there are any legit websites selling bitcoins for PayPal (I've seen a few but no idea whether trustworthy).

Kinda of news that will make people lose trust in bitcoin security and its viability as a safe currency as a whole. When new or potential investor read this, they will have doubt about putting their money into bitcoin. Bad news indeed... I wonder amount of btc that has been compromised.  Sad

Massive price drop followed by major exchange's problems, doesn't look good indeed. It's just a matter of time till the major news start reporting on it.

But on the other hand, if the amount compromised is not significant and BitStamp is able to cover it from its own funds (+ identify the cause and fix the problem), that could actually add to their trust and show they're serious business and can cope with difficulties.
5727  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitstamp issues statement and temporarily suspends service on: January 05, 2015, 10:48:48 AM

whose is reporting the whole profit?  there is no company is this world to do that. they will pay taxes. remember, BitStamp is one of the biggest exchangers.

Every registered company does.
Are you accusing them of hiding the profit? Tax evasion? If so - anything to support such statement?

also, look to the amount of the transactions they had last year and look to their fees. it's pretty easy to make a summary calculation.


Then do it.

If you run your 'summary calculation', all you'll get is their turnover (still won't be accurate) but definitely not their 'profit'.
5728  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitstamp issues statement and temporarily suspends service on: January 05, 2015, 10:25:25 AM
Bitstamp is hacked. It's a fact. I think they can cover the loss from their HUGE profit they made last year IF they want that, of course  Wink

There are rumors that their bank account is closing too.

So what is the 'huge profit' they made? Source?

Their latest filed accounts (for 2013) doesn't show P&L as they qualified as small company, but their P&L reserve was at $0.8m, impressive for a start up, but far from 'huge'.

You don't necessarily need to know what is bitcoin and how it works to use it for remittance. There are a bunch of start-ups that offer bitcoin remittance services.

http://www.coindesk.com/philippines-startups-fulfil-bitcoins-remittance-promise/

http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-firm-enables-remittance-withdrawals-450-philippine-bank-atms/

https://rebit.ph/how-it-works

I've read about one of such businesses (can't find a link) enabled both senders and recipients to pay/receive in fiat, so they wouldn't even have to know that bitcoins have been used for transfer.

Leaderboard bro

+1

My guess for current standings is:

Player with most wagered:               sator_arepo
Player with unluckiest losing streak:   melds
Player with most bets:                    wilco

where did you see the stats? i cant see it on the site  Undecided

There's no leaderboard yet. That was just my guess.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

...

Anyways, so I just ordered and Antminer S5 and Cosair RM850 to get into mining this year(been only buying off coinbase and circle, but convinced now that mining is a good investment and just cool). Also me and a friend are working on a Bitcoin app, to monitor balances and eventually be a wallet.
...

I don't think it's a good investment, you'll struggle to hit ROI (especially with the current price drop), unless you have a free electricity or something.

But good luck anyway.

Pavel, thank you for posting this.
As someone new to Crypto currencies, this is very valuable to be.
I printed it out and I'm planing to read if several times, right now it may still be a little over my head, but I have time learning :-)

No problem. But all the credit should go to the author of this article - Tanaya Macheel @CoinDesk, I just copy/paste it.

And if you ever have any questions/doubts about anything, just ask on this forum, there are many members who will help you out.

I imagine you'd have a large number of Bitcoin miners who would be seriously butthurt about PoS.  
...

Mining hardware manufacturers would be the ones with the real butthurt.

Miners - not necessarily. If you give them enough transition time (say 2 years) they could play on accumulating coins, so after 2 years they'll be doing essentially the same (generating new coins + earning tx fees) but without the huge costs.
5736  Economy / Economics / Re: Price drop : bitcoinners happy ? on: January 04, 2015, 04:01:09 PM
Hello all ,
Why people are happy about the prices drop
I ask a miner he said that he is happy too why ? his profile will drop also

Maybe he has free electricity (ie included in rent) and he's hoping for the difficulty to drop.

Or maybe he's just generally happy with his life  Smiley

I am so feeling cheated, I bought some bitcoins 3 days ago and damn what is this, I lost so much in just 3 days. I am now thinking of trading them to litecoin, is that feasible now? I probably should have gone for litecoin from start.

Litecoin got hit even harder than BTC.

You feel cheated by who? You're responsible for your own actions.
5737  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin/USD Trade Thread by Professional Trader on: January 03, 2015, 09:59:45 PM

Not a huge deal if he's not saying how much he's investing...as long as he IS buying...end of the day whoever can buy will buy as much as they can afford to..

Why?

You know you don't have to go all in with everything you got? That would be a dumb thing to do for someone who does that for a living, unless you're 100% convinced that this is the true bottom.
5738  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin/USD Trade Thread by Professional Trader on: January 03, 2015, 09:42:38 PM
Nice idea for a thread.

But it's a bit pointless to show only buy/sell price. How many BTC did you buy, or better yet, what % of your funds did you spend?

Example, if your next posts are "buy @ $250" and then "sell @ $280" - no one really knows whether you made profit or a loss.

Put some figures in, even a non-actual.

...The Bitcoin Foundation really should issue some kind of sign or logo that only approved and legit companies are allowed to use!

Yeah, No. Such logo wouldn't mean a shit, apart from giving false sense of security for some. Bear in mind that Mt Gox was TBF member (platinum?) and Mark Karpeless was in TBF board.
