you'll find out soon enough

Yes, this^^

addressing op: yes, greater computing power will process your clients activity faster, so unless you've got a few milliseconds to spare, I WOULD TAKE wtogami's advice and UPGRADE YOUR SHIT before its too late

Just curious - why so crazy?

AND... EVEN MORE CURIOUS - do you mean you are an ELECTRONIC engineer??  

ELECTRICAL engineering has NOTHING to do with electronics, hardware, or anything else discussed on this thread? Just sayin.

Mind you, the original commenter also misspoke in describing this as "electrical engineering" work

Here is their api

I'm certain there are many strapping, sweaty, young fellows working on notifications and anything else you can imagine for cexio right now

IF THEY START ACCEPTING USD OR ANY OTHER TOILET PAPER CURRENCIES I WILL LEAVE FOREVER AND NEVER RETURN.

I swear.


it would just ruin everything

Even having made a number of butter finger trades - I'm still up 2.25btc($500) after about 5 days (initial investment 9 btc).  Haven't made any particularly great or big trades - just hopping back and forth as the market depth shifts.  Assuming the exchange is still alive in another week, I  am comfortable tripling my initial 9 - at that rate, I will be A LOT closer to profitability with mining alone.  

Really wish I had signed up w/ someone's referral link - sorry guys, didn't know I was going to fall in love - found cex in my spam folder ...for my e-mail leaked by MtGox breach in 2010.  That has to be one seriously valuable spam list - lots of 'old money' BTC to be had there.

Speaking further to the aforementioned CEX Effect:

- I cannot overstate the [perceived or actual] advantage of having your mining rewards accumulate while you leave those GHs sitting at your high sell price.

-Also, the ability to instantly divest mining profit to increase your mining power whilst adding to bitcoin network stability without all the messy, whiney, sweaty equipment.  After about a year of whizzing fans polluting my soundspace, its kinda nice letting someone else babysit the hardware for a while.  

-Why GHs loves .1 and BTC loves $200? Round integer convenience - 10GHs for 1BTC / 1000 CNY / 200USD.  Psychological resistance (especially around currency conversion factors) can overcome larger market forces.

Also, working on pulling my trade history together - would like to see some export options in the future.

Largest buy order I've seen placed so far:
08:09:26
@0.11179   
1660.68216815 GHs       
185.6476595774885 BTC

I'm looking for historic market systems which might lend foresight into what I call the CEX Effect - instant, commodifiable GHs liquidity that will always have a steep premium over the 'street' GHs price and may realize no actual or consistent value correlation to it whatsoever.

While its still too early, I like to start on hot n'heavy with speculation & conjecture, so. I think there may be some heretofore unseen market logic playing out here.

I guess its something like an inverse dividend where the GHs price stability is achieved thanks to a consistent stream of current price buy orders from mining payouts. As the block rewards come so frequently and are sufficiently small/valueless, there is little incentive for individuals to wait for a better price and not just give your horsepower a little instant bump.   Just buy, don't think just BUY - why not, you have a frikin cloud that prints money.  

With only 2 weeks of trading data available (volume prior to that was too low to factor) it seems like the market is somewhat btc/usd agnostic and moves nicely with the difficulty change dates.  Starts moving about 4 days prior (Oct 12 for 16 and 22 for 26 - the shift always begins @ almost exactly 00:00 zulu) and then it drifts back up.  Next one is in 4-5 days, so I would have been very interested to see what happened today in a vacuum [without fee changes.]

I postulated this might be the case long ago, so I am interpreting the data to satisfy my prejudices.

Just placed an order; nothing has changed.

At the moment, site faq & trading page still reflect 0 fees

from faq:
"Is there a pool fee?
No, the pool fee is 0% However, we have NMC merged mining to cover pool expenses.
How much is the maintenance fee? When will it be implemented?
We are planning to implement the maintenance fee starting from November 1st. The amount is still being decided, the approximate cost will be $0.001 per GHS / hour."

Probably safe to bet there'll be some downtime today while they make adjustments.

We're back online @.1074

checking my balances and rewards - all are present and accounted for during downtime.

GULP!!  going on about a half hour + down at this point.   Not to say that I've been obsessively refreshing the site every 15 seconds for the last week or anything - which is strange b/c I know that my bottom line margin will be negligible at best - yet i cannot stop buying GHS for the sake of novelty and those sweet little mining reward notifications piling up on the right...probably the most gratifying experience in btc life to date. At this point I may actually have to step away from the monitor and go to the local watering hole to see what costumed gratuity the ladies are pulling out this year.  

There are plenty of legitimate scenarios in which one might choose to use & write off BTC (and all associated tx fees) as a business tool/expense.

It so happens that most of the products and services available for BTC are common business overhead (web & app development, pc equipment, etcet)

Say you want to hire Carlos from Argentina to develop an app for your company website.  Carlos only accepts BTC and obscure WoW faction currencies.  You can write off the equivalent sum plus your  MtGox/CoinBase transaction costs PLUS the cost of the time you are paying yourself for administering those transactions; then to keep things complex and convoluted, you can pay yourself in BTC and 'cash it out' in BBQCoin. 

There have been a number of interesting btc based voting projects floating around for a few years:

I suppose there are many human problems that could be vastly improved if they ran on similar decentralized networks.  The problem is lack of incentive. Billions are spent enticing Americans to go vote and most of us do not bother.

Product A costs $1. Product B, which is a luxury version of A, costs $2.
Oh, come now... You're evading. All other things being equal to the world today, which would be produced more, A, or B?
The point that I am trying to make is that capitalism is a proportionally representative system.

A: The initial demand (& production, ATBE) is greater for Product A; over time, Product B will surpass.

We will now call this the 'iPhone 5c effect'®

A 'perfect' voting/governance system is actually scarier than conventional nation-states built on old-fashioned currency influence.  Being that Americans, en masse, are sadistic maniacs - I'll pass on Mob-Rule.

I can think of nothing on earth more fair, equitable & democratizing than money.  Unlike most of the industrialized world's 'rights & privileges', money is available to everyone, you can use it for almost anything, there are few limits on the variety of ways it can be created or how much of it you can have. It is like magic!

'The luxury of today is the necessity of tomorrow. Every advance first comes into being as the luxury of a few rich people, only to become, after a time, an indispensable necessity taken for granted by everyone. Luxury consumption provides industry with the stimulus to discover and introduce new, things. It is one of the dynamic factors in our economy. To it we owe the progressive innovations by which the standard of living of all strata of the population has been gradually raised' -LVM

This conversation has been wildly hilarious & informative. Thank You all.

I've been setting up coinpunk since I read about it earlier today - very exciting stuff.  I thought i would find tons of development discussion and background on the forum - cannot find it.

First image that always comes to mind for bitcoin is the cover art for Burning Chrome:
"The program was a mimetic weapon, designed to absorb local color and present itself
as a crash-priority override in whatever context it encountered.""...the street finds its own uses for things"

This is not exactly what you're seeking, but I really like the concept of book ciphers / steganography for address/key encryption:
