Is that a BFL 2 weeks?

Has Eric got a plan? where is SD going? are we just waiting to be overtakes by a competitor?
I don't expect details that would compromise the competitive advantage, but a little information would be helpful!

Opinions from enough random idiots = impartial
Opinions from people with a significant vested interest, is usually a pump.

Most altcoins offer little over Bitcoin, just a few tweaks to the parameters or algorithms, if there is going to be a replacement for bitcoins it hasn't been invented yet.
We dont need multiple currencies we need  1 that does it all.
 I'm only holding bitcoin, the rest will fade into obscurity.

Life rarely gets better than the day you accidentally send money to the wrong person, and that wrong person ends up being yourself! 

@Tradefortress, nice move dumping the G.SDice before the rest of us managed to I was waiting for an exit, but waited too long.
Does the fund hold any G.SDice now?.. Ohh,  I see from the Asset List,  2031?

Remember Europe, a small group of countries between US and India (timezone wise)
Well the FTSE is down -0.21%  and the rest of Europe is only down between 0%-0.5%, any impending crash would have been indicated in London before the US opened. So this fall is not indicated, in fact Nikkei is up 1.25%, plus I don't think I have seen any evidence that the worlds stock markets have any direct effect on BTC price. Its is a little world of its own at the moment.

I can understand that the ability to disallow withdrawals for the key/secret type access can improve security.
But I guess what key is that in the case of the key/secret, at no time is data sent to the server, that if it fell into the wrong hands, that would allow someone else to create another api request. (They don't have the secret). However with the username/password if the server is compromised, the data sent by a user would contain enough data to make any api request they want.

I understand the gut reaction, but it's https! The real risk lies at each end of the connection. But then there would still be risk at each end even if they used something like gox's secret.
DO you not have faith in https?

I'm trying to build a some depth data for MtGox, actually I only need around 10 values deep each side of the spread.

Gox seems to build the full depth data periodically, so its is often >20minutes old. (This seems the same for all the API versions).
The streaming websocket sends data in real time which I can apply to this full depth data, but this leaves a gap of depth updates between the time of gox full depth updated and when my program starts running.

I only see one option, and that is to run a process permanently that stores the streaming data, and once I get a full depth file that returns timestamps beyond the earliest streaming data I have stored, I can
  1) Make my initial depth hash equal to the full depth data file
  2) Then apply the streaming data

I must be missing something obvious, Isn't there an easier way?

Will the funds from the IPO of AMC be used to fund VMC via pre-order, or will the payment be made at the point of delivery?

How is VMC being funded, is it indirectly through this IPO?

Trading is not investing, it is speculating. Patterns and movements in price have plenty to do with previous prices, because the charts are what traders use to determine their next move.

That quote is aimed at investors (longer term) and is mainly used by financial institutions to legally cover their arse if the price collapses.

Of course I realise that "at some stage" may be too late, but I'm not going to be 'fucked' because its money I can 'write off' if needed, it was a gamble when I pre-ordered, and there is no point in taking a gamble if you can't deal with losing.
No one is arguing, BFL have royally screwed up, mis-management, poor decisions no doubt, but I doubt it was wilful, its very easy to be a smart arse after the event.

The point of my post was for anyone who is still waiting on a pre-order from BFL, this is good news, there were rumours that BFL were a complete scam and they had no intention of ever delivering an ASIC device, everything was smoke and mirrors and they were just stringing everyone along until they did a runner. Well this looks less likely now.

This is good news (I appreciate it was designed as such) for a ASIC mining wannabe like me.
Perhaps I will not have to write-off my BFL pre-order after all.
At least they have a working product, not yet up to their initial expectations but, it is a working product.
I have no more idea of an expected delivery date, just a little more convinced that there will be be one at some stage.

Ehhh? Selling a wallet, what do you mean? Where is the value? Why is it lucky? Have you ever tried a vanity generator?

Bitstamp sell ripples for BTC.

Eric (and everyone else who hosts something), just do it now, put your certificates and domain expiry dates into your calendar with an alert about 1 or 2 weeks before expiry.

With so many waiting for the bottom, many are going to miss it badly, I think we are in for a few weeks of sideways movement, and then a big spike back up, possibly into triple figures when peoples patience runs out.

If you sell now, you are going to be buying near the top and selling possibly selling near the bottom, the worst case. As its a small amount, I'd hold and enjoy the ride. Little to lose, plenty to gain.
