The market is uneasy about crossing the $5 threshold, but once it does we will be going up.

Do the spreads seem smaller to you now vs a couple days ago?

and the bubble goes boom

Though mixing bits up might create an inaccurate representation of the actual market do you think?

I could experiment a little with different algorithms and test them side by side. I might come back to it but I've got other things I should perhaps be working on.

So your solution would be to copy the data and add various noise... how would this noise be added, random changes in the prices? What should the spread and distribution in the randomness be?

I guess using more data and perhaps testing for consistency would help also.

My complaint isn't about what you or I need.
Those things are part of a functioning productive world and when truckloads of meat can't be delivered because bitcoin can't cover the load, bitcoin will crash.

Your food doesn't come from Amazon. It comes from farms.

No farm delivery, no Amazon supply.

What's low and what's high?

Mine trie to figure out a strategy itself an d it found really good strategies... that only worked for old data. It was good at hindsight, rubbish at foresight. Maybe it needed tweaking.

Pirate,

I am wondering when you will have the transactions peace up and running on your website.

I just went through the payments what i got from you and i added together the payments what you calculatd on each workers. There is almost 12 BTC difference. I am working on your "pool" since begging of February.

Could you please look into my case?

Thanks

You're deluding yourself if you think you can go on doing this forever.  Eventually the irresponsibility of the state will catch up with you, and whenever they need your property to build a new housing block or factory, or simply to pay off their debt, they will seize it.

They are already attacking your ability to grow your own food, outlawing small farms, classifying heirloom breeds as "invasive" because they are too productive, poisoning the food and water, so that your tap water comes pre-saturated with fertilizer run-off and your urine contains 20x the legal limit of pesticides.  Eventually, patented seeds will make their way into your garden and you will become a target of the intellectual property regime.  The window of opportunity to become self-sufficient is closing.

At the same time, they are drawing a stark line between anyone inside their corporate plantation, and those outside.  Those inside are offered free healthcare to fend off the multitude of degenerative diseases caused by GMO and modern agriculture.  Those outside are literally labeled terrorists by the Justice Department for "believing they can live without government interference in their lives" and thereby "undermining" the fictional "democracy" they claim justifies their unsustainable property-grabbing scheme.

Meanwhile, the Army grows drugs in Afghanistan, the CIA smuggles them into the US, the ATF runs guns into Mexico, and the FBI has instigated every major "foiled" terror plot since 9/11.  This is all on the record and, in most cases, openly admitted.  Yet the average citizen is still blissfully unaware.

So, no, it's no longer enough to just sit idly by and hope the system collapses on its own.  That could take centuries.  Anyone who wants to live in peace and freedom has a responsibility to actively dismantle the unjust and unconstitutional power structures built up in order to enslave humanity.  Using Bitcoin is just one step in this process.

Poster printing?
Nationwide delivery?
Home repair?
Car insurance?
Frozen meat by the truck?
HV/AC installation?

You know the boring stuff.

Errr it also means that now is the time to get into whatever position you want to be in once volume starts picking up.

Ummm isn't tomorrow the first day with 50% trading fees on Gox?

That has had at least some influence on trading activity in the past.

In the case of fiat money, it is created by the government selling a bond

The government has accepted a contract. The government has forced you to accept that money they created as legal tender - you must accept that money for payment. This make you an involuntary participant.

Since you need this money to pay for items, you will need to work to acquire it. This means you are working to pay this bond, as an involuntary participant.

So, it seems to me you are in bondage. Bondage with forced labor is slavery.

And since bitcoin doesn't have a bond, or any other debt instrument to back it, or create it, it does not have these properties.

This is why I use and promote bitcoin. It is a tool of freedom. Great post.

If the alternative is valued in the collapsing currency then the alternative will crash as well.

Please don't try to launder facts through rhetoric.

Look at the items for sale or auctioned on this forum. Most are one or another financial instrument. People are holding onto Bitcoins til there's a better price in other currencies. There isn't a consistent market for goods.

Hoarders are holding for better dollar prices value. When the dollar crashes, bitcoins will no longer have any usefulness for them will become more useful and they will start selling them trading them for goods and services massively.
