Just google it, curl is a command line program (there are also Windows versions) that is used to interact with webservers. You can then (with Windows) put the line posted above in a batch file and have the task scheduler call the batch file at exactly the time you specify. If you learned how to use computers back then, this should anyways be kinda familiar... ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) To find out about lag, you can try to put up test orders at 99999 BTC or so and check how long it takes until they show up (maybe 1-2 seconds I guess?) so you can then issue the sell order at xx:59:59 to have it at exactly yy:00:00 What happens when the lag changes?

I thought the idea was to sell exactly at the right second. Maybe that was the idea, but it hasn't been realized ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Just look at the last sell of PPT.B - the time stamps are from GLBS decoded to my local time (they all should be 04:00:00) 2012-06-02 03:59:06 250 1.30000000 2012-06-02 03:59:06 1 1.06100000 2012-06-02 03:59:06 2 1.05100000 2012-06-02 03:59:06 2 1.05033000 2012-06-02 03:59:07 1 1.05030000 2012-06-02 03:59:07 490 1.05021000 2012-06-02 03:59:07 200 1.05020000 2012-06-02 03:59:08 100 1.05010000 2012-06-02 03:59:08 180 1.04800000 2012-06-02 03:59:08 13 1.04701000 2012-06-02 03:59:08 15 1.04652000 2012-06-02 03:59:08 25 1.04620000 2012-06-02 03:59:09 20 1.04601000 2012-06-02 03:59:09 15 1.04600010 2012-06-02 03:59:09 200 1.04570000 2012-06-02 03:59:09 120 1.04561000 2012-06-02 03:59:09 15 1.04560000 2012-06-02 03:59:09 10 1.04500000 2012-06-02 03:59:10 200 1.04500000 2012-06-02 03:59:10 47 1.04400001 2012-06-02 03:59:10 27 1.04350000 2012-06-02 03:59:10 33 1.04333330 2012-06-02 03:59:10 81 1.04300000 2012-06-02 03:59:10 29 1.04261110 2012-06-02 03:59:10 26 1.04230000 2012-06-02 03:59:10 1 1.04200000 2012-06-02 03:59:11 100 1.04120000 2012-06-02 03:59:11 64 1.04100005 2012-06-02 03:59:11 1 1.04100000 2012-06-02 03:59:11 90 1.04100000 2012-06-02 03:59:11 1 1.04100000 2012-06-02 03:59:11 3 1.04030000 2012-06-02 03:59:12 101 1.04020001 2012-06-02 03:59:12 200 1.04020000 2012-06-02 03:59:12 10 1.04010001 2012-06-02 03:59:12 100 1.04010000 2012-06-02 03:59:12 1 1.04000000 2012-06-02 03:59:12 5 1.03800001 2012-06-02 03:59:12 221 1.03800000 This is why synchronization is important. The synchronization would increase in frequency as the countdown reaches 0. After that, the sales happen in order until they are all filled so it depends on the speed of the GLBSE servers.

I don't use APIs - I could probably learn, but the effort (cost) outweighs the benefit. Just like I could improve my web authoring skills, learn some new programming languages and a whole lot of other stuff.
It's easy for me to set the sell and wait for the clock to get to 2:00:00

That is part of it. 1. Get selling criteria (What bond ticker to sell and how many of them to sell.) 2. Verify connection 3. Synchronize clock with GLBSE. 4. Time to sell? If not then go to 3. If yes, curl to post quantity=3000&price=100000000&ticker=PPT.D to https://glbse.com/api/market/buy/API-ID/API-KEY5. Sell bonds. 6. Evaluate results (save bond sale history, email whoever) 7. End Neee.. You can just use runat or put the command into cron or windows scheduler, if you prefer. And the GLBSE clock is pretty well synchronized - just synchronize yours to some NTP server. 6. Evaluating results - it's obviously a different task. Though number 7 - the end - this one seems quite simple ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) No, The program should be synchronized with the host server where the selling will be done and have a countdown to the sell time. If chron is set up to sell at 01:00:00 UTC then the sale will probably occur at 01:00:05 to 01:00:15 UTC. I thought the idea was to sell exactly at the right second. Also, what would happen if GLBSE was down right at the sale time? A connection needs to be verified beforehand, so then the connection to GLBSE should be made before the actual sale occurs to make sure GLBSE is not down or slow. Synchronization and verification of GLBSE working could be done with one step. That means the program needs a trigger to sell. Since a connection to GLBSE was made and its server time was collected, a countdown would be the best way to trigger a sale.

Are you still pushing buttons to release the bonds for sale? Yes. But, I do have someone working on a script to do this for us in the near future. When is the estimated completion of that?

Never done drugs. I'm probably addicted to dopamine (judging by how many times I boink my girlfriend in a day) so I think doing drugs for me would probably be a bad idea. It also doesn't make sense to me, as with drinking alcohol or smoking. None of them ever interested me even in the slightest. As for Silk road, I think any marketplace where you can sell -anything- is rather interesting, but having absolutely no interest in drugs myself makes it seem kind of a waste. Where are the wikileaks style cables we can buy for $20? The hidden videos of CEOs raping their employees, or other interesting stuff people would totally buy? Why drugs? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Let's make the internet fun again, not just a mirror of the already boring world of losers. Although I haven't visited the website in quite a while, last time I checked there was "information" for sale. It was being talked about at least - example like inside information (IPO,people working for a law firm... ) I am not sure if it was ever followed through. My luck would be that it was some guy from the FBI doing some undercover bullshit. Too risky for me anyway. Anyone remember Fucked Company? No off topic please :/ This is meant to prove to the world that bitcoiners are not druggies. Because the world really gives a crap if bitcoiners are druggies and your poll will really convince them. To do a better study, you should try to find how many bitcoins are exchanged through SR. Find that proportion and then use the DEA's estimation of how large is the illegal narcotics trade is in USD. Then compare the proportions and see who the real abusers of drugs are. Taking DMT is on my bucket list... Oops, our brains already make it naturally.

So I have some ideas that I think could make some BTC; however I am hesitant because of the US Government's hostile attitude toward online gambling combined with bitcoin. I see that our favorite SatoshiDICE is registered in AU (although it is a .com so the US govt could seize it) and they use cloud flare as a buffer that is all good and what not; however isn't CloudFLARE a US company? Couldn't they be compelled to release what IP (and therefore the location of) the actual server? Even sites that are 100% outside the US they don't like. Look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_gambling#United_States, the BetOnSports paragraph. The guy wasn't even planning on going into the US and they still got him. Who knows, the plane might have actually be diverted on purpose when it was found out that David Carruthers was on the passenger manifest. How can one legally put their gaming ideas to work? Someone in AU want to partner? the government is the least of your worries running a gambling site. https://www.pcworld.com/article/116975/online_extortion_ring_broken_up.html

If you already know the answer, what's the sense in Googling it?
Isn't that the topic of this tread?

Oh, and one more thing: the clock on your server is 6 hours late ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) GLBSE Time should be EST, what time zone are you in? I don't understand the problem. The website clearly states: GLBSETimeTechnically, the clock can be whatever it wants to be. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) I really hate timezones, my watch is set to UTC. That's a really good idea. Except for the conversions to local time... ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) -5 for me.

Does anyone not find it ironic that the money Zimmerman collected for his "defense fund" is what got him back in jail and may put his wife in there too.

Also, for anyone who wondered, HorseRider likes to troll Goat's posts (and now that I said this here, probably mine). I find HorseRider's comments contrarian and informative. Not everyone should be rooting for the home team. In this case, they may be, and for the record, I don't hold TyGrr-Bot. See the post history for said HorseRider. Unless it has been deleted, you will understand why I felt compelled to point this out. I have read them all, I also called HorseRider a troll before but then I got a PM from them and HorseRider seemed truly concerned.

Why would it grow? I already told you why: so Gigamining would not end up dead. Otherwise it will - despite of "growing" It is a bond, not a share, the bond issuer wants their debt to end up dead. Doesn't everyone?

Of course it will happen. ASICs are there already and they will be getting cheaper and faster - month by month...
As far as I know, ASICs for Bitcoins are still in the designing phase and no actual chips are mining now. Could you point URL to me to support "are there already" please? AFAIK, the butterfly labs hardware is based on ASICs. And moreover, if anyone else is working on his own chip, he doesn't want to disclose this information. There is a lot of money on stake here and turning an FPGA solution (which do exist) into a much cheaper ASIC is relatively easy nowadays. If the 5MH/bond stays fixed forever, the dividends will get lower and lower and the bond price will eventually go down to zero - it's only a question of when.
Anyone buying it are aware of this. They are all betting that the dropping of dividends will be slow enough to let the cover the initial price. You are just the one who bet on the opposite. If you are so confident about your bet, you could short the bonds. But it doesn't need to be like this. As the business is growing, thus buying more efficient equipment, I see no reason why the promised 5MH could not grow along with it. Otherwise new mining companies will appear, offering a better hashing power for a lower share price - while Gigaminig will end up dead. Why would it grow? You bought a debt obligation that will pay out whatever 5 MH/s makes. That is like purchasing a bond that pays out 5% per year and hoping they increase it to 6% instead.

Learning a lot of reading this last pages ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Just a question tho. How do you get this data? .Open .High .Low .Close .Volume .Adjusted 2012-06-09 23:58:09 1.420000 1.497000 1.401100 1.497000 334 1.440984 2012-06-10 23:33:48 1.411100 1.411100 1.300100 1.300100 1026 1.361202 2012-06-11 15:17:18 1.375000 1.490000 1.010000 1.350000 966 1.406405 Got it from me which is from my GLBSE parser bot. If people are interested I can have downloadable links of this data for all the assets on GLBSE. If so, reply in one of my other threads (see my signature too) so as to not get off topic from GIGAMINING.

Maybe another compromised account I can sadly confirm this theory :/ Sorry to hear that. Didnt you have 2 factor auth setup? Yes, recommended for everyone.
