I feel like an evangelist on the pointlessness of mining.

The interest in mining can surely only be understood from a psychological perspective (Imma get something for nothing!). Its not rational. The difficulty is 1.1 million now. Just forget about it.

"I don't think it's for pros. It's for people who are willing to invest and not to expect anything back for a long time."

Nope its for pros. 1.1 million.

Well put but I think Henry Kissinger winning the Nobel piece prize is a better example. Utterly renders it meaningless forever.

You know what totally isn't evil. The idea of a trillion dollar coin. Remember when Krugman had that bright idea to solve the debt ceiling problem?

My signature was an attempt to immortalise what a butterfly labs employee said in solidarity with scammed people (I never ordered anything from them).

In terms of mining I've always had technical problems mining with a GPU. It hasn't seemed to work for me. Also, minings over for ordinary people, right? Waste of time. The difficulty is way too high. Way too high. I don't know what people's obsession with mining is.

I appreciate your input but: NEXT!

Yep, just buy and trade.

I'm not having much luck trading bitcoin. Hard trading is hard. I'm also having a lack of inspiration. Anybody got any inspirational ideas to promote and profit from the coin we call bit?

Why do you want to mine? Why do all newbs want to mine? Its for pros now.

Yeah but where would one invest in such services and would it be safe (I mean from scammers).

Where would you invest in such companies?

Is that a joke freethink? You trying to play a playa?

He probably did make 46k though. Prob stolen.

Yes it was a nice thread this. You seem to be a credit to BTC Monica, and I'm not just saying that because you've got nice "bumps".

The price is a bit volatile though.

I just use intuition to trade. How do you actually "analyze" where its going to go?  I'd be espeically curious to hear nodroids on this.

I've made a bit but probably not that much. What sort of "jobs" do you do? Got any other ideas about how to profit from bitcoin?

Do you reckon we could make a game as a community project? A bitcoin based game that is?

I'm sorry that the OP sold all his bitcoins at a low price (I understand that this is what happened). Trolling the bitcoin won't help, but I feel for you.

Thanks

Possibly. There's two types; market order and limit order.

This is what the website says.

To Sell Bitcoin, select Sell
You have two options: Limit Order or Market Order.

    Limit Order: You determine the local currency to Bitcoin price at which you want sell your Bitcoin. If your sale of Bitcoin in local currency is matched by a corresponding buy order, local currency funds will be transmitted to your account. For example if you want to receive JPY 100 at a price of 50JPY: 1BTC you will have to sell 2 Bitcoin.
    Market Order: the rate at which you receive JPY in exchange for Bitcoin is determined by the current market price. So if the current market rate is 50 JPY/BTC and you would like to get JPY 100 in return then you need to sell 2 Bitcoin.

Neither seem to suggest that the price you see will be the price you get.

Can anyone help?

Hi all

I've a problem when trading on mt gox. I need to know for what price Im buying and selling obviously. However, when I place market orders the price I get isn't always the price I see and this is misleading and has led to some bad trades. I need to know if I want to sell at £415, for example that all the coins will be sold at that price. However when I sell 1 coin might be sold for £415 and then the next for £400 ect. Is there a way to make trading more accurate?

Thanks
