Have to say I'm surprised I didn't have to tweak the scaling factor between Stamp and Finex. Quite similar market depths there.
I'm impressed by how stable the finex feed is, no more missing data segments, yet. I wonder if those problems with the stamp feed were some kind of signal or precursor? Stamp was actually providing data but it was old, out-of-date data and typically the same old, out-of-date data each time. My interpretation is that they had load balancing caches of some kind and one of them was not updating correctly. I'm not sure what that said about the state of Stamp but given that people use those feeds to trade and it didn't seem to be that high a priority to get it fixed, I have to think it didn't say anything good. I suspect the rapid price rise over the past two years has put some people a little out of their depth rather quickly. Thank you for the insight. |

I don't think bitstamp is trying to buy any coins
It seems like it'd be cheaper to just buy them back from the thief lol, it wouldn't make sense for them to purchase them with a markup. Also, we have all seen the Pastebin by now with the wallet containing the stolen BTC, where every transaction says Bitstamp Hack, however I have not seen it in any news articles on the hack. Am I overlooking it, or are the reporters? Bter brought coins back from the hacker that robbed it. I have no problem with that. Consider it a "security assessment fee" Unless it was an inside job, of course. We're losing another exchange in February. VoS is shuttering its crypto doors Yeah, I know, it was nice to have at least some kind of alternative/competition for virtex, but the volume and liquidity at vos was pretty pathetic... At least they weren't hacked. I wish them all the best on their new endeavors. And I hope virtex doesn't use this as an excuse to raise their already high fees. |

I think we need a new poll:
Which exchange should chart buddy display once bitstamp shuts down?
|
|
|

i hope this is not GOX v2.0 because if it is then bitcorn will go 2 digit way
LOL! At least it's been an exciting weekend! |

this might push us down.
Or up? Can't send coins to the exchange to dump? Don't worry, they got plenty: You're sure about that? Had any one tried withdrawing bitcoin from their account recently? Or fiat for that matter? |

Wow. Finally some action. Covered some of my short already.
I feel bad for anyone that is holding long positions.
LOL, dude, are you a day behind or something? |

Will Monday be bullish ?
My 8-ball says this:  For some reason my phone renders that green triangle slower than everything else so it looks really cool when I scroll. Pretty sweet effects, thanks /off-topic |

... I have a very active imagination. Perhaps that's why I got into this in the first place  I can imagine a world where people are free from oppressive capital controls and where truly free markets can exist. Maybe it's all a fantasy, but I prefer that fantasy over the increasing centralization of power and control that is happening all around us.  Thanks NLC, escapism is exactly what I'm looking for. An escape from corrupt government controlled by the central banking cartel. And now, I think I'll escape this thread for a while. See you at 250  |

So you perma-bulls are saying that since BTC price crashed but recovered in the past when it was worth nothing and a lot less new fiat coming in was necessary to pump the price that means every crash today is just a bear trap?
Even after one year of bear market (never happened before) even after seeing prices reaching a low that was not seen since 2013 even after having broke the previous bubble high (never happened before) even after having broke a multi-year support trend line (never happened before)?
So even if we reach half a dollar nobody needs to worry because the moon is around the corner? Nice mental trap you have set in for yourselves.
Price is still higher than when I started, not really worried if all my imaginary fortune goes poof. |

it is always the same. i am so deeply sucked into bitcoin (very delusional perma bull i guess) that whenever we go over a cliff like today i think: "thaaaat´s it, finally. i will get out. i cannot take this anymore." of course i can´t sell right into the panic, so i promise myself i will sell them all once it has bounced back to a level that once looked so boring (but now looks so shiny). but when it climbs back up, i keep forgetting my despair and then - of course i never never sell once it has reached more comfortable levels. i know this and i still cannot escape. hope seems to be stronger than fear. it feels fucking bad to lose money. but in my case it seems to feel 10 times worse to lose btc. i will end up with lots of worthless btc i guess.  LOL (more of a chuckle actually) So when do we start planning the "bitcoin hits 10,000 party?" (Serious question) |

EDIT: Hmmm, now I'm having doubts, perhaps it's only a Chrome bug and I just didn't experience it anymore because I ignored NotLambchop.
Either way there's an easy fix.
LOL! This will now be known as "The Brony Bug" |

does anyone else experience this 'gray rectangle' problem?  it occurs only in this thread as far as I can tell. looks like some chrome bug in relation to images. I have a similar problem but the grey part is at the bottom instead of to the right. I use Fedora on Linux, but the problem only occurs in this forum. The bug appared when the forum started using an image service (imgur) to store and "sanitize" images. It may have to do with the size of the file and the speed of the internet connection to the source where the image is uploaded from; basically there is an insufficient timeout somewhere along that path, and the file gets truncated. Reducing the image size usually helps. Try saving as JPEG format with quality 80 or less; it may get a bit fuzzy, but then you can wrap it in a link to the full version. It is rumoured than, when the bitcoin price will reach 10'000 USD, the admins will be able to afford to hire a teenage programmer to fix this bug (and re-enable the uploading of avatars). IT'S A LINUX BUG, mr Stolfi Linux bug planted by the NSA Lol, when it started for me that was exactly my first thought. "Oh noes, they're watching me!" Then I realized that they've always been watching, and will always be watching, so I just changed a bunch of stuff, and now that issue is gone. Not sure what fixed it, but haven't had that issue for at least the past few months now. Best guess is some kind of caching issue or buffer getting filled, or whatever. I don't think it's necessarily server side as it doesn't happen with Firefox, as far as I know... |

All cultist bulltards should be tremendously happy about this (predicted) price drop. It just means they got more cheap coins from all those weak hands. The cultists only care about hoarding as many bitcoins as possible, right? The BTC price measured in fiat is totally irrelevant, right? I can't speak for the rest of the bulltards, but I for one am tickled pink! If you bears out there could dump this down to 250 by the middle of next week, that'd be great! Thanks |

Only on my android device (chrome) particularly with moving gifs @ Chrome for Android? Yeah, for me at least it was Try cleaning out your downloads folder or something, I think it's maybe a cache issue? |
