so wait...what were we talking about again...?  Grin

It is official, then. I am a troll.

As an attempt at getting cured I will now step away from my keyboard and not touch any of the keys for a couple of hours. I'll come back to some random thread and tell everyone how that felt Smiley
982  Economy / Speculation / Re: Panic Selling on: September 09, 2011, 06:34:21 PM
Well, I wasn't sure, I am a bit naive and inexperienced at troll detection. Didn't mean to call you a troll, that's why I phrased it as a question. No harm done, I hope?

I enjoyed the cookie, thanks.

No harm done, and I guess the fact I just took this thread and steered it into something completely unrelated might actually prove you right. You certainly deserved the cookie!

Now look who is misquoting.

Someone has issues....  Roll Eyes

Heh, yeah, right. Forgot the context:

Thanks for the crash course into day trading.

This was your reply to my question on why do the panic sale threads always ignore that these high volume sales have to have a high volume buy counterpart. I assumed from the reply that you were being ironic, sarcastic or simply an ass. If none of these options is correct and you were really thanking me for the crash course then, hmmm, you have bigger issues than I do.

On the other hand if it was actually any of the 3 options described, then I can safely say that your quoted reply can be read as

Code:
you are a stupid moronic knowitall

Wouldn't you agree? On second thought you probably won't, because that's your thing... I respect that, we have to be consistent with our internet selfs. As an example, if you follow my post history you'll find that some 50% of my post are attempts at comic irony, all ending in disastrous misunderstandings. People here take other people too seriously but again as long as we keep it consistent...
984  Economy / Speculation / Re: Panic Selling on: September 09, 2011, 06:20:56 PM

Who ever said I needed to get your approval to explain anything.

Keep telling yourself those things.

Ooohhh, dramatic are we? I said no such thing, not to myself nor to you. What I said is: I asked a question, you answered "you are a stupid moronic knowitall" which is a valid point, but makes no attempt to answer the question asked in the first place.

And how do you know I talk to myself? *looks around for the hidden cams*
985  Economy / Speculation / Re: Panic Selling on: September 09, 2011, 06:18:47 PM
Uuuuh. You're living on the edge there. It's probably an arrogant thing to say, but one should always have some buffers of liquidity ready for such cases. If you had that, you could make more money or in a safer way or both, right?

Ahm, I was role playing there, just making my point Smiley But thanks for the concern, though, glad to see a positive advice coming from that instead of the more usual immediate bashing and public humiliation approach we see on the forum these days. Cookie points to you Smiley

Did I just got told nicely that I fell for a troll? *munches his cookie in shame*

I am not all that sure why you are calling me a troll, but I hope the cookie was good Smiley

That logic is flawed. If power cost is higher than the value of the BTC produced, it's simply more profitable to just buy BTC instead of mining them.

I agree with molecular, but that's not the whole picture; I have a two month billing cycle, so I mine now and pay up to 60 days from now. Lots of time to convert to cash at the best rates (when the market isn't plummeting) and even do a little speculation of my own. No new 'out of pocket' money unless I'm mining at really large loss, bitcoins pay for it all, all the time.

Of course if I'm mining at a loss then the 60 day buffer with get me and I'll end up with 60 days of used electricity I don't have the bitcoins to pay, because I used the ones produced in the last cycle to pay the previous one...

Thanks for the crash course into day trading.

Do I sense a little irony there? Cheesy

I didn't mean to give you an 101 introduction to anything, I'm a coder not a trader and I just don't understand why the buying side of the trades keep getting ignored on these panic stricken posts all over the place. I HONESTLY need someone to explain that to me, and you're not the one with your reply, I'm afraid.

Keep sending postcards, though, you may win someday!

I do want them, but only if they are double ribbon and you are willing to send first or we use an escrow. When can you check the double ribbon thing and do you have any objection to these terms?

Thanks!

I keep repeating myself, I know, but I still didn't get an answer that "computes"...

People sell, panic abounds, prices are going down, people sell even more, price goes even further down, all of that is fine but... who is buying? Are we really that convinced that hitting almost 1M$ in volume on mtgox alone, it's just people SELLING? c'mon, if it was a panic driven bank run, all the buyers of have removed their bids, and that is far far away from the truth.

Bid walls go back, but that sounds more like "I can use the panic sales momentum and increase my profit" than "bitcoins are worthless! let me do the intelligent thing and, huh, buy 10k$ of them at $4 instead of $5"

I mean, c'mon, for every bitcoin sold there's a bitcoin bought, and I'm sure a bunch of them are from speculators that do swing trading, but again, to do swing trading you don't just buy bitcoins, you need to sell them, someone else has to buy them Smiley
991  Economy / Goods / Re: WTS: Knives | PCIE x16 Extenders | TI Calculator | MacBook charger on: September 09, 2011, 04:29:45 PM
Those are 3 PCIE extenders, right? And I assume they have double ribbon cables too? Can't really tell from the picture.

If the 'shipping included' gets them to Europe, I'm interested. I assume your price per is including shipping to continental US only, but all 3 should only need one shipping charge to you, so that might offset it...

What's your desired price on either of the OLPC boxes?

So you decided to hop into the old thread to pressure me into taking the first step? Real mature... Smiley

Just kidding, can you tell me which  continent you are in and I'll make you an offer, all inclusive?
993  Economy / Goods / Re: [WTS] XO laptops, iRiver H340, HTC Touch Pro, HTC BT Stereo Headset on: September 09, 2011, 12:29:16 AM
Added some laptop memory to the original post...

Hmmm, 50000 btc?

Seriously, though, I don't have a set price as I mention in the original post. Make me an offer that does more than cover shipping and I'll most certainly consider it.
995  Economy / Goods / Re: [WTS] XO laptops, iRiver H340, HTC Touch Pro, HTC BT Stereo Headset on: September 08, 2011, 11:13:59 PM
If you're in europe can i safely assume that touchpro is a GSM model?

Indeed.

Most of these things I've had for sale here in the forum before, but here they are again, neatly stashed in a single thread Smiley

XO Laptops ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3020.0 ):

I still have one C1 and one B2




iRiver H340 ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3036.0 ):




HTC Touch Pro ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3969.0 ):




HTC BH S100 Stereo Bluetooth Headset:



http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/headset/htc-bh-s100/

It's a cool device, I used it to beam music from my cell to the car stereo (thus connected to the car stereo) and also computer to living room stereo. You can use it as either a stereo headphone device, with good sound quality or a mono headset, making it a hands free cellphone thingy.


No real target price expected, make me an offer. I'm in Europe and so offers will be compared with shipping to your country in mind. Don't forget to at least state the continent Smiley
Also, only bitcoins!

EDIT: Also have 2x2GB PC3-8500 SO-DIMM memory modules originally from a macbook pro

They just used a hack to get more money one too many times... the disasters always follow that!

(how many of you played the original simcity? Smiley )
998  Economy / Speculation / Re: EVERYONE CALM DOWN on: September 07, 2011, 12:11:14 AM
With how thin the market is right now, I could bet on the same side as you, sell the coins, collect the bet and buy back on the panic that follows... double gain!
999  Economy / Speculation / Re: EVERYONE CALM DOWN on: September 06, 2011, 04:42:11 PM
So you are selling all your coins but want to make sure the price doesn't drop too fast?

...


Heh, just trolling Smiley It's fun to see the panic movements, though I must say it has been worst in the past, people seem to be a bit less edgy now. It always puzzled me that when the price goes down and people dump their coins for whatever they can get for them the other side, the ones buying the coins, seems to go unnoticed.

I mean, for every coin you sell someone needs to buy it... And while selling coins can be done in a whim, buying them is probably a bit more of a psychological bend, as you are spending *money*, not bitcoins for which you don't yet have a multi generation inner bond with. Someone is in for big profit, I'd say.
