If I wanted to split the seed in two parts would this procedure make sense for split cold storage:

* Generate two normal seeds by starting Electrum without datadir or via -w (part1 and part2)
* concatenate the two parts with a single space in between
* use concatenated parts as input to "restore from seeds"
* put one part to a safe place (bank locker); keep the other one safe, too
* restore from concatenated parts whenever necessary

You can generate a new wallet using the -w switch. No need to move/rename the data dir. Run electrum --help for more details.

As far as splitting the seed goes you can also use shamir's secret sharing algo to create arbitrary n of m splits. Google shamir's secret sharing for more info. There's a ready made program out there called ssss

The code I was building with for my old releases is here: https://github.com/Zalfrin/primecoin

But, it's STRONGLY recommended to use the code on the official github until the kinks on my fork have been worked out.

Maybe I'll add a new group between Jr. Member and Full member. What should it be called?

Weighted Prices

Bitcoincharts offers weighted prices for several currencies at http://api.bitcoincharts.com/v1/weighted_prices.json. You can use this to price goods and services in Bitcoins. This will yield much lower fluctuations than using a single market's latest price.

Weighted prices are calculated for the last 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days.

USD: {u'7d': u'103.74', u'30d': u'116.14', u'24h': u'103.02'}

EUR: {u'7d': u'79.91', u'30d': u'89.89', u'24h': u'78.27'}

Is this open to the public?  I couldn't really tell from the flyer unless I missed something obvious....

Considering maybe going if it is.

That would be cool if someone can infiltrate a microphone up there so we can listen and have a good laught  

Definitely not, and I never ever said that to anyone. Either MNW or his contacts are liars.

BTW

21BTC   1/1,000,000   Fruity Loops Club (too many people have tried to name it after themselves)
2.1BTC   1/10,000,000   Hitler Club

How many people would you estimate to own 210 or more Bitcoins at this moment? Theoretically it can never be more than 100k, but I would guess that being in 2012er will give you place in top 5000. Or would you think?

I seem to remember Vladimir telling someone who worked with me that he had 1,000,000 bitcoins. Where did the 2,100 figure come from?

my sepa transfers via the poland mt gox account went through without any problem last week and this week.

the bitcoin24 case (i am german and i have 70 btc on a bitcoin24 account):

simon is a 23 year old fellow who had the idea of creating an exchange about 12 months ago. so he did. he used a few accounts in germany and in poland at the same bank, that mtgox is using. a lot of money started to pour in. banks were getting nervous. then, march 2013 ... btc value exploding, mt gox having problems = a ton of customers started to switch to btc24. btc 24, basically a one man show couldnt handle it. things got stuck. banks were really getting nervous. informed the authorities. the authorities started to suspect simon being the head of an epic phishing attack, since there was money pouring on his accounts from all over the world and from all kinds of people. THAT MUST BE CRIME!  some idiot customers which money got stuck somewhere did not get any reply by simon about what is happening. with bitcoin on the rise like a rocket they went to the authorities claiming their money must have been stolen. THAT WAS THE EXCUSE the authorities needed to step in. blocking the accounts, search simons home and seize what they can. they think they got some big fish. major newspaper titels: young fraudster runs of with 7 million €

but: there was nothing stolen. no fraud, no scam. all the information simon gave turned out to be correct so far. nervous customers, halluzinating prosecutors, eager police officers, a kid with not the slightest understanding of public relations and all this in this incredible bitcoin storm of the second half of march.

i guess there is a reason why there is a line of mtgox users waiting to get confirmed. on btc24 there was no confirmation necessary. there is no money lost, but it will take months or years to figure it all out. especially with german prosecutors/police being involved. they know nothing but expect the worst.

Yeah I checked that too.

I tried it, it allowed my unfunded order and showed under Open Orders but it didn't appear on the order book at Clark Moody.

Edit: I put a Bid in I don't have enough cash to fund, the order appeared only to the amount of cash I DO have.

I would like to order from silkraod what adam ordered.

So today was supposed to be the day Gox switched the system and would only allow bids if the wallets were funded. Do we have any confirmation that this change has happened? How will we know?
