I doctor friend once told me that it's much healthier to shit squatting than to sit on toilets as westerners do.... something about long term effects, organ health..... something....
Supposedly it's better for the plumbing because less force is required.

Someone just needs to design a raised platform to place around western styled toilets so we can get the "squatting" experience here the USA.  Sell it on an infomercial and talk about the health benefits.  Wink  



BAM!!

Chinese banks might get burned, if the only way to purchase bitcoin is cash purchase, then people have to withdraw money from banks to purchase bitcoin, and a mass scale of withdraw will create a bank run  Cheesy

A run could only be caused if a large percent of depositors withdraw their money - but bitcoin users are probably something like 0.1% of people in China?

I believe you put your funds into the wrong wallet type, and then went on to do margin trading, where you meant to do plain exchange. There a "trading", "deposit" and "exchange" wallet, with those three types of business separated from each other. You can move funds from one wallet to another via "manage wallets".

Ente

I think that's what I did, thanks

Really liking using Bitfinex, great job.

I've got a question about exchange buy orders.

Example :-
1 - Deposit 1 btc into my account and move it to the exchange wallet.
2 - Sell all at market and end up with, for example, USD 900.
3 - Wait for 1 day, then buy all at market when the btc price has gone down to USD 850.

Why can't I spend the entire USD 900 amount that's in my exchange wallet?
Because it gave a warning at step 3 and said not enough margin.
Can I only spend (USD900 - 10% = USD 810)?

Note I'm not doing a margin trade here, just an straight buy at market exchange order.

Sorry if this has been answered before, just a bit confused by this.

thanks!!

I've played primedice but didn't realize you could do that ...
7  Economy / Gambling / Are there any dice games with between 1x and 2x payout (e.g. 1.1x)? on: December 09, 2013, 06:15:17 AM
Forgive my ignorance, I've played a couple of dice games and noticed the minimum payout was 2x, then doubling to 4x, 8x, 16x , etc.

Is there any dice games that offer for example a payout of 1.1x e.g. for rolling under 89.5?

I know a bet similar to this could probably be done in roulette by betting on 90% of the individual numbers in one spin.

Right now. ;-)

A lot of support right on 800, but it got swallowed up by the volume of sell orders.

Does anyone else think the subject of this post sounds suspiciously like a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_scam?
Could the OP be laying the groundwork now and later request a few mBTC from people to test his wallet security?

When you want to withdraw, come over here and show up, I help you send what you have to address(es) you control on your own wallet, minus a small % or storage cost fee.

Anything online (exchanges, online web wallets, even your own bitcoin-qt wallet connected to the internet) is out of the question.

I get what you mean, but I think you contradicted yourself with that second sentence. Anyone who wanted to use such a service like this wouldn't have their own bitcoin wallet ... they'd just be showing up at your doorstep and wanting either cash or wired to a bank account.
11  Economy / Speculation / Re: Borrowed $1,000,000 (1 million dollars) from my dad to invest in BTC (serious) on: December 06, 2013, 01:46:53 AM
I currently have some BTCs in coinbase that I bought with my own money. Is it not secure? I still don't quite understand the concept of putting it in a "wallet" that resides in your harddrive.... I feel like that is more risky. What if the file accidentally gets deleted or my computer crashes?

You really need to learn the difference between paper wallets, cold software wallets, hot software wallets and online (web) wallets.
Try each in turn and perform some transactions from each with small amounts of bitcoin. Learn how to best secure and backup each of them.
Buying $1mn of bitcoins without knowing each of these important concepts in detail seems like a recipe for disaster.
12  Economy / Gambling / Re: I need some kind of simple gambling script on: December 04, 2013, 02:56:41 AM
You mean you're looking for the source of a simple gambling website?
Wouldn't that involve some server side code, e.g. python or php?
Twitter bootstrap is all client side code I believe.

Well 31 OCT if you count encryption usenet.
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.general/12588/

just a thought... the timestamp in that msg is 2008-10-31 18:10:00 GMT

If it was sent from Japan for example, this would mean it was actually sent on 1-Nov Japan time => GMT+9 hrs = 3:10 AM

Aren't Amazon meant to be cracking down on this?
i.e. if this gets seen by someone at Amazon, your book will be removed from sale?
15  Economy / Gambling / Re: ★ Satoshi's Roulette ★ Instant Play! provably fair! on: November 29, 2013, 04:52:00 AM
(I posted this in another forum, but meant to post it here...)

Just a minor suggestion for you guys, shouldn't be much work.
In the game results at the bottom of the screen, you are currently showing the number that came up (the 'result' column).
Can you also show the colour (i.e. red, black or green) ... e.g. change the number's foreground or background colour to red/black/green.
That would help a lot, and is a standard feature in most if not all real-world casino roulettes I've been to.

Thanks.

17  Other / Beginners & Help / Difference in perception of Bitcoin after buying some on: November 28, 2013, 08:04:56 AM
I bought some... hardly any, USD 50 worth, a couple of days ago.
Before buying, I was getting tired of sitting on the sideline waiting for Bitcoin to fall so I could get in at a more affordable level (like say 1btc=USD200), so I bought when it was at about USD836 on Bitstamp.
Now I've actually got some, even though its a really small amount, my perception has changed - I'm now certain its going to crash to a more realistic level, and probably sooner rather than later.

I just realized i have no idea what the Euro people call cents. Do they just call them cents? What the hell.

Just cents or sometimes eurocents
19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We need a 1-syllable word on: November 28, 2013, 04:20:19 AM
100th of a dollar ... centi => cents
1000th of a bitcoin ... milli => mills
20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Bitcoin Dollar on: November 28, 2013, 04:03:07 AM
I like bits, as previously mentioned it was historically used to refer to 1/8th of a Spanish Dollar ... because they were easy to split into eight pieces (another term was "pieces of eight").
