Hi all!

I'd like to introduce a little sports book-  Bit Bet Book

Many people enjoy making small bets to "make things interesting".  BitBetBook doesn't have any registration.  So if you're planning on watching a game, it's easy to make a small bet!

Simply click on the odds, and send to the address! (Max 0.5B for now)
Winnings will be deposited back to the sender's address.  So use the Bitcoin client to send (no eWallets).

Please let me know what you think 

Likewise.  My buy and sell trades should have both executed.

Please check my prev post, helloworld.

The 1.15 AUD, 1.05 AUD difference is probably somebody's profit off the trade.  Excluding transaction fees.

Low AUD trading volume (20k/month) might explain why the price isn't closer to 1.05.  If we have more volume, AUD will approach 1.05 + (all fees needed to exchange)

Let me add a parenthesis.


Convert Bitcoin->USD.  Convert USD->currency2.  This is equal to Bitcoin/currency2.

Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrage

I think this has been causing MtGoxLive to create lag: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=38612.0

Allow me to explain:

- The price of Bitcoin in any currency must equal that of Bitcoin/USD/currency2.
- We want to trade on the most liquid exchanges--we want to get a fair price.  This can be achieved by trading Bitcoin for USD, and then trading USD with any other currency.  These exchanges are also more established.

I'm not trying to force the "inflated ego" of the dollar.  You'll notice that you hold the dollar for a moment.

My post had nothing to do with South Africa.  It's valid for any currency.

I've also experienced occasional slowdowns on Firefox.

Once in a while, there's a burst of small orders (<0.2 B). 

What's with all of these bitcoin/non-USD exchanges?

Gold itself is traded with USD.  And I think gold's more liquid that bitcoin!

At least they have a domain 

I think it's safer to say that it's staying put for now.   
We've had some low volume the past few days.   

Welcome!

bitcoincharts.com shows the volume on the exchanges.  mtgox.com is the largest by far.

The fee is taken out when a trade is made.

By trade I mean "transaction".  So you won't be charged if you cancel an order.

Hello!

Lurking for a few weeks.  Thought I'd register..
