Yeah but if your intention is to just buy some and transfer them elsewhere for selling or buying things with then that's fine.

Dead? How so?

While i'm here, this is what's interesting me:
http://fnoose.com/bitcoin/arbitrage/

Which reads:
https://www.bitcoinmarket.com/bitcoin/fxchange.quote.json

And correct me if i'm wrong, but according to that you can buy a bitcoin for $10.

Things get a little bit more complicated when my local currency isn't USD and i'm not familiar with moneybookers though...

As do i.

Also a newbie, but i can prove my buyer/seller rep through ebay account account details if that helps.

Hrm, that second link doesn't seem to be accurate.
There's also: http://bitcoinwatch.com/

I'm mainly interested in finding buy prices that are lower than MtGox sell prices...

Thanks.

Anyone?

Hey,

Just wondering if anyone knows a site or app that shows the differences between the current sale price for bitcoins on various exchanges?
So far i've come across bitcoincharts.com, http://btc-alert.appspot.com, and the Chrome extension Bitcoin Ticker.

Bitcoin Ticker just shows current USD market values, btc-alert just alerts you when MtGox' price goes above/below a certain value, and bitcoincharts from what i can see just shows values over time rather than giving you the current value at each exchange.

Ideally there would be a tool that alerted you when the price _difference_ between two exchanges goes beyond a given threshold, but if anyone knows of something that simply lists the differences that would be great.

There's got to be unix scripts that can read this data, right?

Cheers.

If you look at this chart:
http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/b7EUR#rg5zvzcvztgCzm1g10zm2g25

You'll see that some bitcoins were sold for €1 each around 4pm GMT on the 26th.

http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/b7EUR_trades.html

Shows that it was 5 bitcoins at 16:20:46 GMT.

Would this sale have to have been approved for it to show up on these stat sites?

Hey all,

Would someone be able to explain this chart to me:
http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/b7EUR#rg2zvzcvztgCzm1g10zm2g25

Does that actually mean that for a couple of hours yesterday evening it was possible to buy bitcoins @ €1 or am i reading it incorrectly?

Cheers.
