You mean more posts than Matthew? 

Never had problems with BIC/IBAN bank transfers, you don't even have to verify your mtgox account if you use their Japanese one. You still have to pay a fixed fee for the transfer, still for any reasonable amount it's cheaper than bitinstant.

sure?
If it were that easy... the thing is it could be lower than 11.35 in 9 weeks... and that kind of thing is what drives the markets.

Some teenager generating Drama on the forums which apex-ed with a suicide threat last year. Has created lots of sockpuppet accounts ever since...

Just from observing on the sidelines.
The admins have given him a second chance and you should too. There is still that much shitposting in this forum that it barely matters. Plus you can put him on ignore this way... he'll post anyway with a new account every 3 days otherwise like last months.

Let the guy wear himself out a little, he'll get tired after a week or so.

inb4 the wall reappearing at 10.6

Again that would be new, in the past the wall maker pulled it.

In retrospect did you ever see that happening? There's a first time for everything but from past occurrences of gargantuan walls they were moved around and eventually pulled.

Since it doesn't look that this wall gonna be sold into how long do you think it will last? When will it get pulled?
A day? A week?


Yes I've seen that, this is very suspicious timing.

This is driving me nuts, why isn't this showing up on the bitcoincharts order book.

It shows up in the http api too, is there a quick way to check the websockets api? If bitcoincharts doesn't show it because of a bug that would be hell of a coincidence. They are refreshing the prices for sure.

Even if this guy is completely without skills, for that amount he could hire a highly skilled team to write him the stealthiest bot to snatch cheap coins ever and still be in the plus.


I can't rationally explain it, except maybe it's a move to stir up the markets in a big way.

Can anybody explain why it doesn't show up here?
They should have refreshed by now.

Well it's in the mtgox api...

Could have been somebody flashing the sellers though.

Just look at the bitcoincharts orderbook, seems way more reliable. Looks very balanced right now..

Yeah it's always good to make it as tasty as possible

Scams are best prevented by systematic security, anything else is just icing on the cake.

As long as there are bitcoin "banks" where lots of people store their coins where other people have access to them thefts will happen. There is no "free market" mechanism which can prevent that, everybody is prone to immoral behavior it's just a matter of chance.

What we now need is an exchange where people can use the multisig transaction mechanisms to trade bitcoin for fiat money. That may not be straight forward to do convenient, that's why we have to think how to make bitcoin better not try to debate the issue away.

thanks

Certain kinds, for example the kind of exchange "hacking" we've seen on a regular basis couldn't been pulled off if an exchange wouldn't have direct access to the funds.

I'm not saying that this is the silver bullet, and you are right people need to act responsibly. But it's not the only thing that has to be done either.
How I see it people run around spreading the word that bitcoin it "perfect", part out of greed to give it more userbase part out of fear that innovation could harm their speculative investment if it goes wrong. I am not saying we should hard-fork the existing mechanisms but provide improvements where it is necessary. In this example the possibility to do third-party signed transaction wouldn't hurt anybody, everybody who doesn't like the feature or has no use for it can use regular transactions all they want.

Again: The main thing hindering innovation is this irrational fear that any improvement might backfire and make the investment worthless. This has no basis in reality, nobody will think of bitcoin to be worth less because of some added feature... to the contrary it will probably boost it.


See this is exactly the kind of fear I am talking about.
Again adding to it, you could still do regular transactions all you want. Don't like to get paid by someone else using it? Just don't accept it. (You can tell)

You think that's bad?

The bad thing is: Once you come forward and suggest implementing a solution, (the third-party signed transactions for example) someone comes along screaming:
"Reversible transactions!!111 Do not want! BTC is no credit card!!"

People need to get the head out of their asses and look at theses issues from a systematic perspective instead of sticking to some fundamentalistic agenda.
