6/21 have shown up - the rest are just... missing
Ya, the last transaction listed in the Recent Bets / history was several hours ago: Details 2012-04-28 08:07:48 Probably a problem with the host. (needs some montoring so the site can display an "out of order" when this happens). Fortunately, the wagers aren't lost anywhere, just that thing needs to get started back up for processing to resume. The history shows only about 12 hours worth of history now. Two hundred bets in 12 hours. Instant Blockchain-based wagering. Can you say ... Bitcoin has found its killer app? I wonder what Satoshi is thinking right about now. (I'm envisioning something along the lines of ... "I gave you fire, and you piss on it because you like the pretty colored smoke clouds doing that makes? A pox on all your houses!" [then puts in a 1 million BTC market SELL order]  ). |

it is still only showing "Status: confirmed" instead of showing "Status: processed".
Mt. Gox just recently added to their history page the status: Mt.Gox today released an improvement to our Account History page that will give customers the ability to see the current status of their withdrawals, updated in real time. - http://www.facebook.com/MtGox/posts/285134238237657Are you saying that the status in Mt. Gox shows completed, but the status in Dwolla still shows Pending? Is there something wrong with MtGox?
Update (April 28, 2012):
Dwolla transfers are still delayed. While any outstanding withdrawals will be processed, transfers will happen at a significantly reduced speed. Any users who are concerned about their withdrawal are encouraged to contact Mt.Gox Support, and if so desired, cancel their withdrawal. - https://support.mtgox.com/entries/21269668-resolved-outage-23824-dwolla-delays |

haven't gotten a payment nor has it shown up on the site, a few different transactions for about the last 50 minutes...
Does it show up in the blockchain? - http://www.blockchain.infoIf not, are the inputs from a coin that hasn't confirmed yet? A small amount? No fee? Those conditions will cause the payment to not only not end up getting mined right away, but they will cause the payemnt to not even get relayed by the nodes. (It looks "spammy" to them.) If this is the case, it will take a while for the transaction to get processed. |

I just want to make sure that any new BTC sent to old addresses would still be received.
Did you add encryption to your wallet? Normally, you don't want to continue using any addresses that existed prior to the wallet being encrypted. Any pre-encryption addresses are marked as being used. "Bitcoin 0.5 [and greater] will flush the key pool upon encryption." - http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/2016/153 |

I have similar problem, computer freezes for a moment (15s) when BitCoin client is open. CPU usage is not high, physical memory is still available. What resource is it starving my poor computer of?
What o/s, cpu, and amount of ram do you have? My low-end laptop runs particularly bad when I combine Skype, Chrome, XChat plus the Bitcoin client (on Ubuntu 11.04). When using a different browser or without Skype and XChat running simultaneously the problem doesn't seem to occur. I haven't upgraded to Bitcoin v0.6 yet. |

BitFloor has now added PopMoney as a method for deposits. Are there any other bitcoin exchanges that use PopMoney? I have a feeling PopMoney could turn out to be another Chase QuickPay, see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=11494.0Ya, I remember a trader on #bitcoin-otc getting burned pretty bad from Popmoney transfers gone bad. I don't know of any other exchanges that accept it. |

Maybe it's even possible to publish the secrets in the blockchain.
Or a new use for Namecoin. |

That's a stupid bet to make. I doubt anyone is going to put their money on "disagree" - it's too easily fabricated. Well, it would require a lot of fees, especially if you are churning your own coins. These prediction market bets usually aren't all that much money, so the effort / rewards for manipulation isnt't very good. I suppose the bet should have been something like mean number of transactions over an X day span will be over a certain threshold or soething to that effect would have been better. Either way, it is a pretty high multiple of anything we've seen thus far. |

Bitcoin is not an anonymous digital currency. It is a pseudonymous digital currency that is traceable. With proper precautions, it can be used more or less anonymously. Exchanges add an additional weak spot when trying to use the currency anonymously. It can be done but it is expensive and time consuming -- increasingly more so when the amount to convert and the level of privacy required increases. Subject A then converts payment (USD) to BTC
For A to obtain BTC anonymously there are scenarios: - In the U.S., Canada and Australia there are cash deposit methods at banks or post offices where no ID is required. Those funds can then be used to purchase bitcoins from an exchange. Not all exchanges allow purchases when using Tor to access the site anonymously, so know that. Just because an ID isn't required doesn't mean you would never be identified (banks have cameras, for instance). - Cash in the mail. There are exchanges and individuals who will accept cash by mail and will send bitcoins to the bitcoin address included in the envelope. Get-Bitcoin (USD), BitcoinNordic.com (EUR) are two such examples. Individuals will accommodate this as well. There are risks, of course, in that the post office fails to deliver or that the recipient isn't honest. - http://mndrix.blogspot.com/2011/09/easily-anonymous-bitcoins.html- Person-to-person trade. There are many trusted individuals on Bitcoin-otc or other services where a trade, person-to-person, can be made. Making use of a dead drop will help to protect your anonymity if required. - http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#bitcoin-otc-foyer - https://www.bitcoinlocator.comTo further protect the privacy of the transaction, the received coins can then be mixed with others. There are numerous ways this can be achieved, including using a mixing service or employing an EWallet. Using EWallet for this specifically are addressed here: - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Anonymity - http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/439 Subject A sends BTC to Subject B's BTC Wallet Address
Same as above. Use Bitcoin with Tor to essentially eliminate any chance your IP will be associated as the node your transaction was "first relayed by". Subject B converts BTC to USD (Cash)
This can be the most difficult step if a high level of anonymity is desired. Certainly, the received coins can be further mixed like has been explained above. But there still would be a point where cash is physically retrieved in exchange for bitcoins. One method, just like above -- is to use #bitcoin-otc to find an opportunity to do a person-to-person trade. Green Dot Moneypak codes can be purchased from BTCPak.com anonymously, but from there they can't be used with reloadable cards without first registering the destination card. There are cash out methods where you would receive cash in the mail, but the mailing address you provide is where this method no longer remains one that preserves anonymity. If a physical cash exchange isn't required then there are numerous goods and services available with payment using those bitcoins being a possible alternative. - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/TradeHere's a related artcle: - http://themonetaryfuture.blogspot.com/2011/07/maintaining-anonymity-while-using.html(Notice how nearly every service listed in that article is now defunct? Anonymity is a double edged knife. Some "mixers" have been scams and some exchanges never delivered. And because they too operate anonymously they can easily scam.) |

I wanted to go back and manually go through the motions of verifying a previous transaction, but I see it has rolled off the "recent' page.
There are 200 rows on that page, and my wager was about 28 hours prior.
In other words, that method wasn't built to accommodate the level of activity the site has already.
I know I can get the trx # from my client and build the URL for that manually, but clicking on a page is more convenient.
Is there anything that can be done so that the past N days (e.g. 10 days) of wagers are retained for review?
(or given and index with sequential numbering and an API to retrieve these at our leisure?)

I think this crazy shit is actually working.
Sorry,. ... most of that is probably from me. Each of my payments to that http://SatoshiDice.com game goes through the blockchain and after each bet win or lose is a return payout transaction. it works that way (all transactions through the blockchain) so that wagers don't need to first confirm and payouts are instantaneous. It's a terrific approach. And very addictive, sorry for all the activity to the blockchain! Now, how fast does it grow from here? There will be more than 50,000 Bitcoin transactions in one day in 2012 - http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=351 |

Just to clarify here, the shares are not for ownership of the horse but instead for "BIRs" (Bitcoin Interest Rights). 10,000 Bitcoin Interest Rights (BIRs) were granted to the owners of the thoroughbred racehorse named Satoshis Daemon. From these 10,000 BIRs, 500 are being offered initially only to those interested parties who have acquired bitcoins. BIR holders have no ownership duties or privlidges, but will participate in Racing and Sale Dividends after expeses are taken out - https://glbse.com/asset/view/SATOSHISDAEMON.HORSE"Bitcoin Interest Rights" (BIRs) are traded on the GLBSE ( www.glbse.com) under the ticker symbol "SATOSHISDAEMON.horse". BIRs have no ownership opportunities and are denominated in bitcoins ( www.bitcoin.org). The owners of Satoshi's Daemon are putting up their own bitcoins, and have offered to disburse these coins to those willing to accept the risk associated with bitcoins and thoroughbred racing. Under no circumstances will holders of BIRs be entitled to any US dollar winnings, only the bitcoins pledged before each race by the owners. Please visit the GLBSE and read the signed contract information. - http://www.satoshisdaemon.com/index.php/invest/investor-opportunitiesAnd a question. Was the use of Deamon [that was my typo: Daemon] in the name chosen in the mythological sense or does it refer to word as it would be used in computer technology? |

I thought you could set your MtGox account to automatically sell bitcoins sent to the account. Has this option been removed, or am I dreaming and/or blind?
Just a bookend to this thread. The Mt. Gox Merchant System will have "autosell" capability so that payments can be converted automatically upon receipt to USDs or whatever currency. - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=67572.msg838136#msg838136 |

Every site I looked at tend to have the price of 4.89,4.95. I ended up depositing 400 to virtEx. prob gonna get like 85 coins for $400.. somehow i feel thats too expensive. anyone willing to share a cheaper way? or just trade with me? I recently got neteller and i dont live in US I live in CANADA
Currently the USD/CAD is 0.985 roughly: - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=usdcad=XThe BTC/USD at Mt. Gox is $5.08 USD at the moment. Using those two together means that the BTC/CAD would be worth about $5.00 CAD (5.08 * 0.985). So if you can buy them for less than $5.00 CAD, then you are getting a better deal than someone paying $5.08 USD. |

the funds transfer from one account to another.
That's the "and magic happens here" right?
In one phone you have a private key which has funds. You bump, and you transfer what ... the private key? If so, then you aren't transferring a some amount, you are transferring the ability to spend anything received at that address. So I don't think that's what you meant.
So instead you are describing the one side creating (in Javascript) the spend transaction?
The Javascript in BlockChain.info does this but you still need to send it to a host to broadcast it.
- http://www.blockchain.info/pushtx
Or am I missing something?[Update: After re-reading this, I get it. You will create an instawallet type site BitBump.com and this transaction would use the API (presumably) to transfer the funds from one account on the hosted wallet to another account. Got it. With InstaWallet, that would be done using the /payment API method (with use_green_address=true). - https://www.instawallet.org/static/api.html ] |
