Why would anyone care, and who are they? Looks like junk on your site, and the satoshidice and rss feed cubes look terrible too.

don't visit it then...  70,000 visitors a day go there... so making it 69,999 a day won't bug me too much.

I fixed order of Gold / Silver and Gold:BTC and Silver:BTC

Feedback other than from farlack ...  we already know his opinion ..



You know, for some reason I really doubt you're getting 70,000 visitors a day. You don't even have any seo, you don't even have any real tracking software. You're using a hit counter that probably adds +1 every time it refreshes.

Google analytics is free.

I was just trying to help, though I guess I was wasting my time, seeing as I'm trying to help convince the same person you don't need a $500 a month server for 50mb a month in bandwidth, that out of your supposed 70,000 visitors I'm sure 69,995 don't know who that person is. And the two blocks look tacky as hell covering your charts.

Bitcoin is not democracy-rule or minority-rule, it's a consensus. What Bitcoin is to you is whatever client you choose to run. If the majority decide to adopt a hard fork that changes something in a way you don't like, you can choose to continue using the old client and connecting to a network with others who do the same.

Wrong,

It's up to the devs, and now bitpay where bitcoin goes.

I love it because you can see all over the world where bitcoins are popping up, even in countries you would not expect.

Goodstuff.

Doesn't make sense, why would you get paid $10 to pay $12 in a few days? Why not just mine and keep your own coin.

Seems fishy to me.

I love bitpay, but this is a really bad thing. Now bitpay has control over how bitcoin will work. I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but what ever the devs put in the code, is whats in everyones bitcoin. It will now be what bitpay wants to see changed, not what the users want, because of course, no one is going to download the latest version from johnjoe who no one knows, over the dev for the past 3 years.

Other than that worry, congrats. I'm curious, are you being paid in bitcoin?



Did you know that Gavin once worked for CoinLab? Did you know he now works for Bitcoin Foundation?

Linux development is partially from paid workers for RedHat, SUSE, etc. There's no reason Bitcoin should be different.

Payment processors are the closest thing you get to a bank. Banks are in control right now, why would you want the next best thing in charge? That's what bitcoin is against.

I'm not saying this has to be a bad thing, it could really benefit, but the possibility is still there. Geed is in human nature.

 Your account currently has a "Verified" status; you can update your account to a "Trusted" status.

    BTC : You can still withdraw up to 100.00000000 BTC provided you have enough on your account (your limit is 100.00000000 BTC per 24 hours )
    USD : You can still withdraw up to $1,000.00000 provided you have enough on your account (your limit is $1,000.00000 per 24 hours and $10,000.00000 per 30 days)

“Trusted” Accounts are eligible for the below withdrawal limits:

Traditional Currencies
Daily withdrawal limit (24hrs): 100,000 USD (or equivalent)
Monthly withdrawal limit: 500,000 USD (or equivalent)

Bitcoin

You are free to hire whomever you want to review the source code and see to it that nothing bad happens to it, if you are worrying about it.

P.S. I'm not here to bitch about him being hired, I just wanted to bring to light how it might not be good, and to make sure it doesn't become a bad thing for it happening, such as bitpay doing what bitpay wants for themself.

Use bitpay, or coinbase, mtgox too, they all have buttons like a checkout cart.

You ever use tor, and check your ip address? It changes like every 3 seconds, and page change.
758  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: How much would it cost to create a new exchange? on: May 12, 2013, 02:14:58 AM
I am not computer savvy in regards to programming or setting up servers etc. If one were to buy all the equipment and software, hardware etc? How much would something like this cost to set up a Bitcoin exchange better than Mt Gox?

Servers are the least expensive things as usual. A rough estimate for a serious exchange could look like this:

Software development or purchase of out-of-the box product + customization: 100k-200k USD
Servers: around 20k USD should be enough + Xk USD that you want to spend on DDOS protection, X can be as large as you want and still won't give you 100% DDOS resistance.
Initial legal costs: 10K USD-100K USD (heavily depends on jurisdiction)


 Cry

what bitcoin-related startups need least is fiat money.

to OP: if you cannot develop by yourself, then don't try a bitcoin-related startup, because by doing so you give others opportunities to cheat you. Don't testing people.

^^^ This right here, why would someone accept a few thousand bucks, when someone with the intelligence to make the exchange can see mtgox making 250k a day?


Look at facebook.
759  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Bitcoin taxes in USA on: May 12, 2013, 02:11:13 AM
How about in the case of a slightly more advanced civilization (let's say by 1 year), I am paid 100% of my salary in bitcoins. However, I just got paid 5 BTC for a month of work when btc prices are at $1000 in bubble #3. Next month bubble has popped and we are to $500 all the way to tax-day. Do I pay tax on the $1000 rate or the $500 rate?

First in first out.

Purchase:

#1 $10
#2 $10.3
#3 $10.7

Sale:
#1 11.2
#2 11.7
#3 12.4

$1.2 profit
$1.4 profit
$1.7 profit

Or
buy 10 for $100
Buy 2 for $99

Sell 11 for $110
You made $10 each and $11 for the one.

You have to sell the 10 before you sell the 1.

You only have to pay (if you have to pay on btc) if you cash to fiat. You can get paid $100,000,000 in BTC, and you never have to pay a cent, until you cash it.
760  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Changes that MtGox could implement to improve their functionality/security on: May 12, 2013, 01:21:05 AM


4) Stop loss orders: give users the option to define a point where they can buy or sell BTC for a limited loss, rather than further going into the red.  Seriously.

5) Credit Cards: Allow verified and trusted users the option to purchase bitcoin with credit card with the specific warning the chargebacks would likely result in their account being frozen.  Since verified and trusted users already have their information on file, it becomes difficult for individuals to successfully defraud MtGox with a chargeback without repercussion.  For honest users, It would become SO MUCH EASIER to fund accounts.  

I'm curious what other ideas you guys have.  I'll add them in to the list

4) This will make the price crash even more, get a trading bot.

5) You have to have a merchant to accept them, probably high risk, and high risk have a 9% fee, +$1 per transaction with 10% rolling reserve for 6 months. You cant just walk into a bank and get a CC processor that will approve BTC.


They need to have a system set up that charges like $1 to withdrawal a certain amount and you get a phone call to confirm the transfer.
