I've opened up shop at coingig as a start and I plan on adding more pictures in the upcoming days.  If anyone is interested let me know.

Prices updated again.

Definitely phrase it that way.  It'd be funny because I could also imagine those annoying types ads that say things like that too.  That'd bring a ton of hilarious buzz.

I also think that this is great (both long-term and in the mid-term), but I don't see a huge influx of money anytime soon.  I think that there would have to be a significant amount of these around before there is a serious impact on the Bitcoin economy.  But just the news about this will bring some extra buzz about Bitcoins and it will bump up the price a little.  After though, it'll be business like usual (although, business as usual is unusual itself).

Daily bump.

I figured as much.  I just wanted to see the interest because she's more interested in making pieces that are custom made to tailor to an individual's wants.  I'll get to posting some stuff though.

Any takers?

I just wanted to gauge the amount of interest there would be among the community with buying bead and stone jewelry that my girlfriend in exchange for Bitcoin (also open to LTC and PPC).

Here is a picture of some of pieces that she made a while back (I don't have anything more recent which really is a shame, I need to be a better boyfriend, ).



Anyhow, she makes earrings, bracelets, and necklaces and she has a very sizable collection (including some semi-precious stones) to use.

If you're interested please let me know and I'll be sure to get more pictures of her more recent creations.  Thanks!

I have included prices in my original post.

I have three two different codes for sale if anyone is interested.

I have an AMD Ultimate Reload Code (includes Far Cry 3, Hitman Absolution, Sleeping Dogs, Tomb Raider, Crysis 3 and BioShock Infinite).  0.725 BTC/26 LTC/345 PPC

I have a BioShock Infinite and Crysis 3 code.  0.225 BTC/8.25 LTC/110 PPC

I also have a code for DIRT Showdown.  0.06 BTC [SOLD]

I will accept BTC, LTC or PPC.

Prices are negotiable, just give me an offer.

Yeah, that's what I figured.  Oh well.

Thank you for this awesome site!

Alas, I keep getting an error connecting to remote server.  Is there anything I should do?

I just wanted a better understanding of how Paper Wallets work.

I understand the process of it, but if you have the address of a Paper Wallet (not the private key), how many times can you send to it?  Or is there no limit since all of the transactions are saved to the network and once a client is created and the private key is imported, all of the coins will be brought along from that address?

I'm just slightly confused because there is also this thing about backing up Bitcoins and a keypool and the possibility of losing coins if you use an outdated backup.

If anyone could answer my question; it'd be greatly appreciated.

Found the answer to my own question.

I would post this in the Alternate Cryptocurrencies Forum, but because I'm a newbie, I can't.   

Anyhow, over the last few days, with more and more people receiving ASICs, many people who were using GPUs have been jumping ship to the Litecoin part of the world.  Difficulty had been hovering around 15-25 over the last few months, but now, the next expected difficulty in 8 hours should set things at 45-50.  Does anyone think that the wave is over or is it possible that we will see a difficulty jump to almost a hundred in the next few weeks as more and more people start dedicating more resources to Litecoin?

Any thoughts on the impact of market values of BTC/LTC as this continues?

I'm just curious more than anything; so an analytic estimate would be greatly appreciated.

Personally, I don't think the difficulty will jump to over 100 yet (maybe by year's end, but not in the next 4-6 months); but who knows, I could just be greatly underestimating the amount of new resources that have yet to jump over to Litecoins.

I'm still crunching some data charts, but I think that once movement is done (my guess is that a significant amount of movement is just occurring now and will dissipate towards the end of the month), things will stabilize at .0075 LTC/BTC with BTC at $60.  But I could just be crazy about this too.

Watch all my predictive numbers be incorrect!!!   

So what do you all think?

Just got the 1.5 LTC!  Thank you very much!

It hasn't hit 40 yet, but anyone thinks it's going to hit 50?

That's a really tricky question...

A lot of people would love it if bitcoins sold at $10k+ per coin, but the possibility of that happening in a 5 years (or event hitting the $1k mark) is very slim (at least in my opinion).  Global markets, the desire of a high RoI, market penetration, general speculation, and price corrections are just a small amount of the problems that could plague bitcoin's growth and I feel that it will prevent it from reaching those lofty heights.  Although, I would not be surprised if bitcoins hit $200-$300 within 5 years.

Here's a thought though.  What if bitcoin had the purchasing power the equivalent of a fraction of the world's developed economies?

My thinking is that if a meager (although, is this really a meager amount?) .25% of the world's population adopts bitcoin, that would be 20 million people.  Let's assign them all the purchasing power the equivalent of 6 months income at an average based on the top third of the world's developed economies (that's roughly $16k a year, so $8k).  Total this all up and you would have a market that is worth $160 billion.  Let's say that this happens when virtually all bitcoins are created.

That leaves us in the ball park of roughly $7,619 per coin.  A pretty nice number.  The question is whether bitcoins can ever reach a purchasing power that great or not or if it will even survive to see that type of day.

Just my two satoshis on the matter.  I'm setting my personal target price at $135 dollars a coin in 2018.

I really do wonder how viable it would be to use Bitcoins to buy/sell commodities...

But I'll buy either a milkshake or a smoothie with BTC if I could.

Could you imagine going to like some sort of restaurant or store that accepts BTC?  Although, admittedly it'd be so tricky because of the volatility of BTC at the moment.  But if BTC does stabilize, I'd think it'd be awesome to go to some sort of restaurant and have a menu and see the price of everything in BTC; it'd be like some sort of surreal experience if you ask me.

Thank you!

Hi all, I'm hellscabane.  I've been mining bitcoins and litecoins as an amateur for a while (about a year) but never joined the community until now.
