Anybody else having issues with their BTC withdrawals?
I keep on getting the error message "Error executing transaction".

I sent over some extra fiat to Bitstamp, yesterday.
Hope it gets there on time to buy up some cheap coins ...

BitcoinFlush,

Could we get a quick status update regarding the sale?
Thank you in advance!

I want to link my Bitcointalk name with BTCJam's. Verification code: 7c4037f9-f1d8-47ef-be5f-424c0a90d362

Hope this is true. Buitink says investors trying to bail out gox.

Hearsay, but do we have anything better right now?

I can only hope this is true too, but I still consider my Gox coins lost.
I'm not hoping for any miracles Smiley

I can't believe we still go up or down because of Gox. What's wrong with people.

What does it take to get rid of Gox. How much more fail is needed?
This is an american forum, people in china and japan still have alot of faith in Mt.Gox.

I'm from Europe and as soon as Mt.Gox accepts withdrawals again, I'm off to Bitstamp.

I'm just hoping I'll have a chance to get my BTC out of MTGox somewhere in the next couple of days / weeks ...
I already said the same thing last time we got Gox'ed, but I was just too lazy / stubborn, I suppose. Serves me well Lips sealed

I'm going to have a whisky and then I'm off to bed. No use in watching this and getting nervous, when you're hodling anyway.

Weird. Already the X'th time in the last couple of days, where the market is going exactly against what the EMA 'predicts':

10  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 28, 2013, 05:34:06 PM
Uh-ohhhhhh.
What's happening on Gox? Shocked
11  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 28, 2013, 02:14:57 PM
Meanwhile on Gox ...

So much hatred, the last couple of pages.
Let's just try to agree on ignoring someone when you don't like what they're saying - it makes for a cleaner topic.
13  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 28, 2013, 01:26:02 PM
Meanwhile, while I wait for BTC price to become cheaper, I CANNOT believe I am earning 438% interest on 76k on Bitfinex.

At these rates, I will have to be wiring some additional money there soon. I mean, for 100k I can clear over $1000 in interest. Each day. I will double my money in 3 months, basically risk free. That's insane.  A million would net $300k a month at this rate. Surely these are the highest interests rates in the world.

windjc, to come back to this topic:
As a result of you talking about the interest rates on Bitfinex, I created an account to find out how it works.
I only see loans at about 0.15%/day, though - which doesn't add up to a yearly >400% interest. Am I missing something? Could you enlighten me?

Let's say I can get a daily interest rate of 0.15%:
1.0015^365=1.73 (73% interest)

rates dropped a lot in the last few days

Don't get me wrong: 73% interest is still A LOT, but 6 (SIX!) times less than 438%

If there is such a big fluctuation in interest rates, it isn't interesting to put out an "automatic loan" at a fix interest rate and just let your money sit there.
You'll almost have to manually adjust the interest rate every day, based on how volatile the market is.

I may regret this in the morning, as it will cause some people to want to trade against me, but I feel that I need to put it out there. Bitcoin TA is heavily manipulated at the moment, by at least 2 parties. Be careful out there.

Could you please explain it in more detail? Is it the ask spikes I'm seeing @ 750 and 768 Bitstamp? Or something completely different?

Hint: China.


You mean that perfect pennant on the 1H or some other thing regarding your trip?

Are you still there btw?

Yeah, I'm a little confused by what Loaded is saying. The TA on the charts looks bullish, with a bullish pennant forming. It sounds like Loaded is saying the market is being manipulated upwards and so traders may want to hedge to the downside, which would go against his market buys. But really, I have no clue what he is saying.

Looks like a bullish pennant to me, too.
I don't like these kind of vague omens ...

edit: I just googled your signature, windjc Cheesy

Wow... crazy.

Yeah, and this is on a weekend where the market has basically flatlined. For whatever reason traders are willing to pay insane premiums to trade with other peoples money. Not only that, but when you leverage at Bitfinex you do it with 100% other people's money. Meaning, they hold $1000 of your money and let you trade $2000, but you are paying interest on the entire $2000, not just the $1000 you are borrowing. AND people are paying this!

Are you using insured loans?

Well maybe people are selling for x-mas presents. I'm short on USD right now but have BTC. I am opting to HODL.

I sincerely hope that everyone using this retarded 'HODL' phrase gets utterly slaughtered at the next big Bitcoin butchering.



HODL

Me too.
Whose sell wall is that on Gox, by the way? STOP IT!

pit pat piffy

wing wong wang

ty, very informative Grin

He just inspired me to post about our new dinner set. It is a quite airy, elegant design with a touch of platinum in place of the usual gold. Just hauled it from the store yesterday Smiley

Just out of curiosity:
Did you sell yesterday evening when Gox was around 630?
