Today Bitcoin.de announced a partnership with Fidor Bank AG.

Anybody knows what the impact of this will be ? What services will Fidor Bank offer to bitcoin users ?
Oliver Flaskaemper seems to do his homework regarding legal risks...Germany gets more and more interesting for bitcoin investors.

Great Bank, thanks!

Figure out a way for late adopters to not have to download +8gb of data when they first start Bitcoin-qt.


Use a web wallet. Problem solved.

Yes, there are tradeoffs, but everything in life is about tradeoffs.

Hi,
I'm working on an exciting new project:Bitty, the bitcoin debit card.
Bitty will be close-to-free, in the 0.1 area, with option to print at home.
For each Bitty a number will be assigned,from 1 to 10 to the power of 20, and a Bitcoin address.They will be completely unrelated, so if someone sees the number, he won't be able to use the number.

To pay someone using Bitty, he must be an authorized merchant.Only authorized merchants are able to get access to the database of these numbers,and their private key.
When you buy a Bitty, you must select a PIN, you'll enter, in order to use your Bitty
Bitty will be simply a barcode which includes the secret number, but of course if you buy it from us it will be more pretty than just a barcode.
This project requires:
A lot of paper,
A lot of bitcoin addresses,
A quick barcode maker.


Right now,I'm taking preorders for the print-at-home version at just 0.01 BTC.If you want,contact me at eladkr85@me.com.
Preorders will be emailed on this September,and regular orders will be taken from October,and shipping or emailing from November.

Questions will be happily answered at elad@outlookphone.com.

8  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: coinvisitor.com - coinvisitor - Where we are TODAY.......... on: July 10, 2013, 03:37:11 PM
Hola,

 I regret to inform that coinvisitor as we knew it is is gone. I have after careful consideration elected to lock up the servers, change all passwords and shut it down 100%.

 It was difficult to decide but in current state it is both unmanageable, unreliable and in total disrepair. To try to fix it under the current state is not really an option.
I cannot trust the security of it or promise reliability and that is not acceptable.

We will attempt to get remaining balances and issue a block payment to all due, I have no time frame on this only because I cannot access this myself and will have to rely on the original developer to get me these. He is the only one from this point on that will have access to the files or server and in 2 weeks I will allow the server to lapse and shut down and let it drift off.

 I consider the prior investment both a loss and great success at the same time.

 In the mean time I will try to get a faucet on the site or sponsor existing ones and link them and continue to give support to sites and services as we always have but outside the site now overall.

 I apologize for all these troubles, I will promise to make sure that much more than double what we owe is returned back to the community and that is already under way and still pay the remaining balances if I can get the balances.

 I am now working on learning some things on my own to be in a better position technically and will devote the time I spent on the site issues to that with a great deal of reduction.

 I spent almost literally every waking moment doing damage control, networking, chatting and managing the emails and site and will be reducing that now to spend some time with family and my other businesses that I put aside to this project.  6 months of non stop time on this I have lots to catch up on and get back in order.

 I will continue to seek development and am currently getting estimates for rebuild. We did it once and with proper maintenance and better direction we will come out on top more than if we continued as we were.

 I will leave it at that for now and give updates along the way.

 Thanks for all the support of the site, I look at the reviews, posts and so on and other than a couple trolls we really had an amazing and successful site other than the technical issues.

The amount of times we are put first on a ranking system, called their favorite, banners put up for free, great reviews and community we built and became one of the top 1% websites for traffic in the world all in 6 months with a 2 man team and some great mods in chat..... pretty amazing to me.

 have a good feeling when we come back and are better set up and not in reality beta constant..... we will rock out once again.

 Thanks again and feel free to question or comment and will still be active in the community, just not have sold my soul to bitcoin any longer---- only my mind.

You can also email info@coinvisitor.com for faster response.


Kev


PS. WE WILL BE ADDING LINKS AND SUCH TO SPONSORED FAUCETS AS SOON AS WE COMPLETE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THEM AND WILL WORK ON OUR OWN FAUCET SO CHECK BACK ONCE IN AWHILE. WE ONLY SLEEPING RIGHT NOW, NOT DEAD........

12  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Gekko - a javascript trading bot for nodejs on: July 10, 2013, 03:34:46 PM
Here is the first version of my (open source) trading bot for node called Gekko.

Quote
The point is ladies and gentlemen that greed, for lack of a better word, is good.



-Gordon Gekko

You can find the whole project on Gekko's Github repo.

Currently Gekko is able to advice or do real trades at Mt. Gox, BTC-e and Bitstamp using EMA (exponential moving averages), as described in Goomboo's Journal. It can monitor the live market or backtest on historical data.

Main features

Gekko uses technical analysis (only EMA at this moment) to determine when to enter the market, at such a moment it can:

  • Advice on what you should do (and mail the advice to you).
  • Calculate the profits of all the advices so far.
  • Automatically trade at Mt. Gox, BTC-e and Bitstamp

Even though there are multiple EMA trading bots in javascript (as Chrome plugins) all of Gekko's code is written from scratch. The goal of the project is for me to learn more about such systems, therefor I'm trying to keep the code as readable as possible to also attract non programmers.

Background info

Quote
This project is a learning excercise of me, a student with some experience in programming (mostly web) and zero experience in economics and trading. I figured writing my own trade bot would be the best way to learn about implementing mathematical trading algorithms. So here is my very first attempt at anything related to trading / algorithmic decision making.

I'm developing Gekko fully open source in the hope of getting feedback from folks with more experience in this field. Because I not only want to attract programmers I am doing my best to make the code as readable as possible, this includes a lot of comments and probably not the most efficient (but expressive) code.

As this is a learning experience for me all feedback is extremely appreciated. If you don't want to contribute to the code you can always just send me an email.

Installing Gekko

Windows user? Here is a step-by-step guide on how to get Gekko running!

Because Gekko runs on node you need node installed. You can find more detailed instructions on how to install Gekko in the install section of the README.

Gekko's output

On default Gekko will give advice on what to do (on start and at every interval) and a report of the profits you would have when you had listened to the advice.

Code:
(ADVICE) 2013-05-19 23:18:14 HOLD @ 122.596 (-0.140)
(PROFIT REPORT) 2013-05-19 23:18:14 0.000 % profit (in 0 trades)

You can tweak all EMA settings (see below) and also configure Gekko to do the trading automatically for you at both BTC-e and Mt. Gox and Bitstamp. Read more in the documentation.

Gekko's backtesting output

You can use Gekko to backtest strategies, you can read more in the docs on how to configure Gekko to do backtesting. After running a backtest, Gekko will display the results like this:

Code:
2013-06-30 13:25:30 (INFO):	(PROFIT REPORT) start time:			 2013-04-24 07:00:00
2013-06-30 13:25:30 (INFO): (PROFIT REPORT) end time: 2013-05-23 16:00:00
2013-06-30 13:25:30 (INFO): (PROFIT REPORT) timespan: 29 days

2013-06-30 13:25:30 (INFO): (PROFIT REPORT) start price: 121.6
2013-06-30 13:25:30 (INFO): (PROFIT REPORT) end price: 125.44
2013-06-30 13:25:30 (INFO): (PROFIT REPORT) Buy and Hold profit: 3.158%

2013-06-30 13:25:30 (INFO): (PROFIT REPORT) amount of trades: 15
2013-06-30 13:25:30 (INFO): (PROFIT REPORT) original simulated balance: 245.404 USD
2013-06-30 13:25:30 (INFO): (PROFIT REPORT) current simulated balance: 281.819 USD
2013-06-30 13:25:30 (INFO): (PROFIT REPORT) simulated profit: 36.415 USD (14.839%)
2013-06-30 13:25:30 (INFO): (PROFIT REPORT) simulated yearly profit: 447.030 USD (182.161%)

Configuring Gekko

You can currently configure the following EMA parameters:

Quote
// timeframe per candle
interval: 60, // in minutes

// EMA weight (α)
// the higher the weight, the more smooth (and delayed) the line
shortEMA: 10,
longEMA: 21,

// amount of samples to remember and base initial EMAs on
candles: 100,

// max difference between first and last trade to base price calculation on
sampleSize: 10, // in seconds

// the difference between the EMAs (to act as triggers)
sellTreshold: -0.25,
buyTreshold: 0.25

Feedback

As I'm just a student without any trading experience, I'm mostly looking for feedback on how to improve Gekko. So what features would you like to see? What would you like to see improved?

Whats up with the gay picture?

17  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: proposal: delete blocks older than 1000 on: July 10, 2013, 03:31:41 PM
I propose deleting all but the last 1000 blocks. this will keep the blockchain small and lean. as blocks build upon each other, older blocks are not needed. The only problem with this is if  there is a 1001 block chain fork which shoudl not happen.

I support this idea fully.
