Dammit blockchain.info is down for maintenance, I need to transfer my coins to an exchange just in case. Don't want to touch cold storage.
Fantastic timing for blockchain to go down on maintenance.  Now I think many are thinking same way as you are. Fear is setting in  Expect blood bath. That said I have a schedule to respect, and I can only sell some or buy some at predefined price points. So I am going down with the ship - if destiny wants it. My coins are not on sale now. </me wears sailor's hat> And if the party ever comes to and end, then thank you all for the hell of a ride. |

One thought about the 0.3% fee: 1. Clearly BTCChina knows some shit is coming. 2. How about all those HFT bots that have been programmed with the assumption that fees are 0%? Someone is going to get burned, badly. |

Also btcchina stopping 0% fee and charge a 0.3% again.
That can be interpreted as a move aimed at slowing the market down, e.g. either prevent chain reaction shorting or vice versa to prevent a run on btcchina's coins in order to get the f* out. |

Quote is from another thread. Reporting here for speculation on what happens next Yes , there're some problems on withdrawals thru Bank of china (BOC www.boc.cn ) using IE . But other banks are ok . Wrong - this is what their support is saying - but it appears that you cannot withdraw to *any* bank using either IE or FF now (still checking into this). The problem is that you cannot select the city or the bank in the withdrawal form. That would cause a run on BTCChina's coins in order to cash out on Stamp/Kraken etc. So BTCChina's coins might become even more expensive than Gox' ones... |

If the info in this thread is correct, "Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich" should be removed from the thread title. If blockchain only shows 'relayed by' and this is the last hop, the chance that "Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich" is the culprint is fairly slim.
+1. OP please fix subject. ETH has a lot of computing power and some very fast relays which do actually strenghten the network. Someone in there did a thesis on bitcoin last year. I think there was a thread on bitcointalk about it. They do not mine but they run full nodes. |

Here's what I'm pulling out of my ass: if the day ends with the 1D candle in green territory and if tomorrow we also get another green candle, then choo choo is more likely than trainwreck. Nevertheless: every day that passes with btcusd over 800 makes this new price range generally accepted and hence a return to the 500's less likely. In which case I'd kinda feel sorry for rpietila because he has made some great contributions to the forum. While being happy for myself of course  |

China has the largest volume of the lot, and it is going down, slowly but constantly. It has tested the psychological support threshold @ 5000 already 3 times today, and failed to break that dam until now. Will see what happens but honestly the overall scenario is bearish so far.

In reality its more like using one credit card to pay off another, we're all waving flags and patting ourselves on the back here but most don't realise we've not actually paid back anything significant yet and that government gluttony is still hanging around our necks. It gets those IMF bastards out of here though so its not totally stupid. Is AIB is still in deep shit, and 98% state-owned? |

Bitcoin, why u do this to me? Welcome to the club. Please take a seat in one of the many dark corners. Please ignore quiet sobs coming from the other members. I haven't accepted my losses, though, so I am all fiat still, trading a little on the ebb-and-flow inbetween. I've lost 4.5k and it's now on the level I would be 1-1.5k at loss. But fuck it, that's why it is fun, there's still lot more good moments than bad Guys. If I had just hold all the time I would be a multi millionaire, in dollars, today. Just saying. |

New TA figure: "tight ass" = U-shaped bottom on low volume.  Ah well. We are either drawing an anus to that ass or it's capitulation time... |

Wow! Three whole months! So education!

I think we are losing steam again. Not that anyone here follows TA but now I see the triangle that Le Happy Merchant spotted. |

This means having influencing the poll , so the votes will mean nothing. Like having a vote on torrentfreak about the legality of file sharing. Can't agree more |

Just a worthless pool with bitcoin fanatics upvoting with 1000 IP adresses...
bitcoin fanatics tend to have many IP addresses indeed  |
