Well, we don't have to worry anymore about the hour. The go-live was delayed again  Grin

Friday around midnight  Smiley What a party!

Really?  Grin
67  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Visa Gift Gard to BTC on: June 24, 2011, 06:18:12 PM
Thanks Tronlet! However, I am not sure about the gift card... Transactions on gift cards CAN be reversed (like with credit cards) so they may not accept them at the Post Office. I have no personal experience with gift cards to postal money orders. Did anybody try? Also, when you cash the postal money order, don't they ask for ID? This is very important from a privacy perspective...
68  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: TradeHill issues: let's evaluate on: June 24, 2011, 06:13:11 PM
Good points Nagle! However, I stick to my opinion  Grin that TradeHill should have only one trading pool and one rate at least for the USD/LR pair. Liberty reserve and the dollar are 1:1, so I really do not see the point of having two different trading pools. MtGox and Bitcoin7 do not have different pools...

It appears that TradeHill does not have enough LR liquidity to make this work, or is not willing to put in the extra effort. Again, NOT cool  Smiley

This looks like a truly professional job. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see how it will perform in real life  Smiley
Keep up the good work!

Tough issue. If I wanted to buy your card with BTC in an OTC manner, what guarantee do I have you will send me the card> And even if you do, how do I know you won't keep a copy of the card number and spend the money while I'm still thinking what to do with my new hundred bucks?  Smiley
Sorry, nothing personal, just my humble opinion...
71  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: TradeHill issues: let's evaluate on: June 24, 2011, 04:58:26 AM
Password recovery is no big deal IMHO. However, I just noticed something I don't really like.
Tradehill separates trading pools by currency. If you want to trade BTC/USD, it's one rate. BTC/LR different rate.
If I want LR for my BTC, I have to accept a lower price than if I wanted USD. This is NOT cool...

Go ubuntu and get rid of crossfire. There are a few good threads on this forum on how to do it.

Well, I would really like to know what Keynes has to say about early adoption of a new technology  Smiley in the famous book  Grin Ozzy, well... completely different story  Smiley  Smiley  Smiley
74  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What the Early Adoptors Don't want you to know on: June 23, 2011, 05:21:19 PM
Any new technology has early adopters who invest time, effort and money to make it successful. As it is usually the case, the early adopters will profit more than late users. This is not something characteristic only to bitcoin. Actually (IMHO!) the users with the largest stashes of bitcoins are NOT the early adopters, but the ones who first developed GPU mining. There were some users who were doing it long before the first open source miners were released etc. However, I don't think the system was designed to give an advantage to early adopter, it's just how things work in real life  Grin

Congrats on your first bitcoin!
76  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: TradeHill issues: let's evaluate on: June 22, 2011, 05:10:19 PM
Automatic password recovery, while efficient, is a bit of a problem from a security perspective...
77  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Regulating Bitcoin Exchanges on: June 21, 2011, 05:40:32 PM
Bitcoins are NOT untraceable, and are anonymous only if the addresses used to receive them cannot be linked to real people. If exchanges become regulated and will require ID from all users, it will be extremely easy to see (in the block chain and in correlation with the exchanges databases) who paid how much to whom and when. This is a performance that cash will never achieve!

The good part: thieves will be easier to catch.
The bad part: farewell, privacy!

Like most things in life, bitcoin has two sides  Grin
78  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: If your Mt. Gox account has been compromised, PLEASE READ. on: June 21, 2011, 06:51:27 AM
Thank you all for the info!

Please keep posting the details if you were hacked.
Bitcoin transactions can be tracked since one cannot send bitcoins from a different address than the address used to receive them.

What if we would build a database with all the addresses to which stolen bitcoins were transferred, and not accept transactions from these addresses?

A community-driven www.bitcoincop.com?

If none of us would accept transactions with "tainted" addresses in the chain, stealing coins would become pointless.
