Not exactly trolling, but I like to make fun on the uber-bulls sometimes.

That's fair enough. I don't mind the occasional jab myself. Smiley


Summer is coming to an end and if anything might happen (ETF, SecondMarket), that might take until late 2014 or into 2015.

Thoughts.

Well, summer's only half over. Smiley I didn't take the July bubble predictions very seriously to begin with so.... shrug.

We have the following news for you today:

The campaign will be closed after the ninth payment cycle (July 21-23 payment). Feel free to remove the signature on July, 21.

Well, it's been a pleasure. I'll savor my last week with the best campaign on the forum. Smiley I hope you achieved some good exposure for FX Open. As always, last payment received. Thanks, FXO.

Sorry if it's been posted before, just couldn't find anything from skimming. How does the Happy Hour work? And how often does it happen? Thanks for any information. Smiley

i use cryptsy because I like the interface, performance ,& high security.
And they have enable trading for $ currency. One more step foward  Cool

Interesting. I actually hate Cryptsy. Their interface is horrible. They take forever to credit deposits. And their trading engine is not real-time. It's extremely laggy. Very frustrating when trying to scalp pumps.

if im really good at loosing money quick does that mean if I do the exact opposite id be making money extremly fast  Huh

Unfortunately, this doesn't usually work out too well. If you insist on trading, consider researching TA a bit more and develop a more sound system. And lower the size of your positions in the meantime. Until you become profitable, anyway.

Most of them can't even read, they don't even know how to sit down on the toilet to shit.

Who are you referring to when you say "they"? I'm not sure I like the direction that this is going in... just saying, I hope we can keep this thread civil and all... Smiley

In Los Angeles right now... July is brutal. Dog days. But I'll tell you, as brutal as the heat is, I do love watching all them girls in the sundresses walk by this time of year. Grin
948  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ISIS-Linked Blog: Bitcoin Can Fund Terrorist Movements Worldwide #bitcoin #ISIS on: July 13, 2014, 09:25:52 PM
Seems to me that this was just one blogger -- "linked" may be laying it on a bit thick. This was no official announcement/endorsement or anything. It's being blown out of proportion.

By the way, which currency is terrorism usually funded with, anyway? Smiley

Yes he does. Have you ever been on finance forums? People try to pump and dump all the time. Yes, people are desperate enough to baselessly try to pump the price, and some people are gullible enough to let it cloud their judgment. Also, read what I said again, because you didn't seem to comprehend. I'm not here to "gain" anything.... Roll Eyes
Do you think that the OP really would have any kind of impact on a crypto currency that has a $8 billion market cap by posting on these forums?

Do I think that OP would really have any kind of impact (on the general exchange rate)? No. Do people still try this sort of thing? Yes. Do gullible people fall for it? Yes.
950  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin wallets be trusted? on: July 13, 2014, 09:17:56 PM
This is an important step to take if you truly want to be paranoid about your wallet. This would only prevent an attack if an attacker was able to get control over the domain, but not the dev's private PGP key, and the public PGP key is found somewhere outside of the domain. If a user finds the dev's public PGP key on the same website/domain that they are downloading the file from then the attacker could simply change the PGP key listed and sign a message saying that their (malicious) download is the most up to date and correct one.
Well, it seems that at some point you will need to trust someone or something.
But to minimize the problem of replaced PGP keys, I would publish my public key in all my public profiles I have.
I think a better way for most users would simply be to search the forums for reports of incorrect code being on a particular wallet. There will enviably be people that will check the PGP key and check the source code to make sure everything is "on the up and up" and if not will report it. This would be much simpler for the less technically inclined. 

The problem is, exploits can go on for some time before they are noticed. In the meantime, everyone downloading the file and not verifying the signature is at great risk.

Woah, you guys are turning this into a war on mixing services? Bitmixer was doing their job. They provide a service, and it would be a useless service if they retained records that would incriminate their customers.
I think you should read what I said earlier about the "real world". Just because BTC is digital does not mean it is not subject to the same laws as physical, fiat currency.

This is a money laundering service. If bitmixer can hire the same lawyers as HSBC, they can perhaps just get away with a fine.

Otherwise, they will need to explain laundering $750,000 of stolen money.

But as I also said earlier, it's down to klee. He can just let the criminals away with their crimes if he so decides.

Saying "Bitmixer was doing their job" is like saying a hitman is doing his job. He is, if you believe it's okay to pay people to murder others for cash?

Once again, it amazes me how people support blatant criminality in the bitcoin community.

Interesting. Can you point to some examples of cases where BTC were stolen, and law enforcement got involved -- subpoenaed witnesses, confiscated property, etc? Regarding the bolded, it depends what you mean. Are you saying mixing services are illegal? Are you saying they are immoral? If the former, what precedent can you point to?
952  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: day trading - what's the catch? on: July 13, 2014, 09:09:39 PM
When bitcoin did not have any/only a few merchants accepting it for payment, it was not competing with anyone. Today with LTC having no/very few merchants accepting it for payment, it needs to compete with bitcoin which has a stronger network and is not missing any features that LTC has.

That doesn't mean there isn't a place for LTC or other altcoins. It just means that bitcoin has the "first mover" advantage that ensures it to be the likely forerunner. Doesn't change anything.

BTW, I'm glad to see you using Bitcoincharts. It's not real-time updating (which sucks), but it is THE chart site that all others should base theirs off of. I'm talking about Time, opens, closes (especially weekly Wink ), etc...

Why is that the case? Do they close on different time zones, and if not, do you see much variance or something? I tend to go by Tradingview and secondarily Bitcoinwisdom.
954  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Expect banks to start becoming more BTC friendly.. on: July 13, 2014, 07:40:14 PM
In reference to the OP, I would not be entirely surprised if the OPs father worked for Chase, or another Bitcoin "hostile" bank as even banks that are not friendly to bitcoin have a legit need to understand bitcoin and the bitcoin economy.
Thank God there is one person on this forum with half a brain...

I guess the rest of us don't have a brain, just because we didn't nod along with OP's storytelling.

Right? I mean, it's plausible and everything, but there's really no reason for us to eat it up with a spoon. And there's plenty of bagholders around trying to do anything they can to pump the price. Smiley
If it is plausible and you have nothing to refute the statement then why would you call BS?

There's a difference between being "plausible" and being "likely", and obviously that's further yet from being "true". And what I said was, "there's really no reason for us to eat it up with a spoon." I'm saying don't be gullible and keep an open mind. Many people would use unsubstantiated rumors to confirm their own biases. It happens every day. Smiley
But the OP really does not have anything/much to gain by people believing him, and you have nothing to gain by proving/saying he is full of BS.

Yes he does. Have you ever been on finance forums? People try to pump and dump all the time. Yes, people are desperate enough to baselessly try to pump the price, and some people are gullible enough to let it cloud their judgment.

Seriously, please, consider using the "enter" key to break the text block into several paragraphs next time. It's pretty tough on the eyes otherwise. Good news, though. Thanks for sharing.

I think you can sell without a buyer on the other side

LOL, no. You can't market sell without a limit buy on the other side. You can't buy or sell with no liquidity. The distinction here is market orders vs. limit orders. Market buying is what drives the price up -- limit buys just prop the price, until the market decides the direction. Smiley

Trying to force some sells but it's just not happening. He's gonna have to pull the walls and do some market selling to make anything happen. Bulls aren't budging yet. Smiley

Although windows 7 and 8 are considered not so vulnerable to viruses, they still can be infected.

Since when are Windows 7/8 considered "not so vulnerable"? Maybe if you are only comparing to XP or something, but I'd say you have to be especially careful when using a Windows machine.

indeed, Linux is the best considering viruses etc.

there are almost none for it Cheesy
You are sure buddy??

Well, of course there are viruses that target Linux systems. But statistically, it's pretty true relative to Windows. If you look at Windows' market share, it makes sense too, why malware producers would be incentivised to target Windows users.
