For those that missed it, GateHub Fifth has become the first (but not last) ETH and REP gateway on Ripple:

http://blog.gatehub.net/post/143954922602/gatehub-fifth-bringing-rep-trading-to-ripple

This enables anyone to deposit, withdraw, instantly send and trade ETH and REP against any currency on Ripple.

We might add more crypto-currencies/assets/tokens soon -- we're open for questions and suggestions.

Hi, GateHub Fifth here. The orderbook is filling up slowly and first trades are starting to happen:

https://www.ripplecharts.com/#/markets/REP:rckzVpTnKpP4TJ1puQe827bV3X4oYtdTP/BTC:rvYAfWj5gh67oV6fW32ZzP3Aw4Eubs59B?interval=30m&range=3d&type=candlestick

To sell your account on GateHub:

• Create an account at http://wallet.gatehub.net/ and log in
• Connect the GateHub Fifth REP gateway (you'll see large buttons to do this)
• Request a REP account deposit - see below
• Create a Ripple Wallet on GateHub (if you don't have one already)
• Add trust for GateHub Fifth's REP (again a large visible button)
• When your REP is credited to your wallet, transfer it to the Ripple Wallet
• Click Trade and place sell orders. I suggest selling against Bitstamp's BTC for now.

This is from the About GateHub Fifth Help page:

How do I deposit REP that I want to sell?

All deposits involve manual handling and take up to 24 hours. Some deposits, especially Ethereum buy-in account deposits, may be processed faster (within one hour).

The deposit process differs depending on whether your account was a Bitcoin buy-in or Ether buy-in.

Depositing a Bitcoin buy-in REP account

To transfer your Bitcoin buy-in Augur REP sale account to GateHub, you will be guided to send an e-mail to the Augur team, requesting to transfer the REP account to GateHub Fifth. When the Augur team has transferred the ownershipa and GateHub Fifth has successfully claimed the account, you will be credited REP IOUs on the Ripple network.

Depositing an Ether buy-in REP account

To transfer your Ethereum buy-in account to GateHub, you’ll need to confirm the transfer of the account by sending an Ethereum transaction (with a minuscule amount of ETH) from the Ethereum address that you used to buy REP in the presale. This transaction constitues your signed request to the Augur team to transfer the REP to GateHub Fifth instead of to you when Augur launches.

Sorry if this seems a bit complicated, but the GateHub team is working on making the process simpler. If there are further questions (I expect some especially if you're not familiar with Ripple) -- I'll answer them here, or you can contact us at fifth@gatehub.net. Thanks!

I've experience the same problem a few weeks ago, and a friend is experiencing this right now (his missing deposit still not credited to his account).

The way Bitstamp handled the issue for me was to first ask me not to do such transactions; then they credited my account with missing bitcoins (that they had already received) after a week or so. They also never admitted it was their fault or apologized. I was quite disappointed with their response and actions.

I still can't decide who's the smart guy in this bet: Jim or I.

You could say it's Jim: if he wins, Bitcoin will probably be mainstream, so worth a lot, so his win of 1 BTC will be large. If he loses, Bitcoin will probably have faded or not succeeded very much, so his 1 BTC loss will not be worth a lot. So he can gain a lot, and loose little -- almost a win-win for him.

Or one could reason this way. If I loose, so a bitcoin-bling-wearing celebrity appears, Bitcoin will probably be mainstream, so do I loose 1 BTC, but my remaining coins are worth a lot, so overall I'm happy. If I win, well, that's obviously great -- what could be better than winning a bitcoin bet

So perhaps it's a Win-win--Win-win situation in any case

Matija

P.S. I wouldn't have made the bet today as now I think I'll probably loose; but no regrets -- bitcoin seems to be actually going mainstream and I'm quite happy (see above) . I just hope to loose this as soon as possible...

Still a very long way util any non-geek wears stuff like this :]

Have you tried https://github.com/timmolter/XChange ? It provides a unified interface to several Bitcoin exchanges; some of the issues mentioned here are already solved in XChange.

Here's a Bitstamp ticker demo:
https://github.com/timmolter/XChange/blob/develop/xchange-examples/src/main/java/com/xeiam/xchange/examples/bitstamp/marketdata/TickerDemo.java

Hope this helps!

What bling hardware? There will be none.

We did consider a multisig transaction to store the funds for the duration of the bet (eg. 2-of-3 with Darwin the natural third party) but we decided against it -- I think because we wanted to avoid the need to store private keys for 4 years. It's still an option though as far as I'm concerned since I haven't tried multisig yet (or seen it used) and this seems a nice use case

Thanks for inventing new nicks for me and Antonin, Jim

Anyway, I am the other side of the bet and I confirm that the bet was the way Jim describes it above, with a small note: Antonin agreed to be the witness, but I'm not sure he agreed to his role as a referee. In any case, hopefully a referee won't be needed.

Hi,

There are two other BIP32 implementations in Java that I know of.

One is mine, here: https://code.google.com/r/matijamazi-bitcoinj/source/browse/?name=hdw
It contains the key derivation algorithm, some tests (I got the test vectors from the Armory code, and they originate from sipa) and a high-level implementation of the wallet structure as per spec (wallets, accounts, internal and external chains). I got this working with bitcoinj in MultiBit (created a wallet with several addresses from seed, put in some funds, deleted the keys, recreated the whole wallet from seed, spent the funds). But this was several months ago and I haven't had time to upgrade this to the new versions of bitcoinj/Multibit that have been since released. (But it should be easy since the code is practically independent of bitcoinj and completely independent of MultiBit.)

Another implementation is Chris Rico's: https://code.google.com/r/chrisrico-bitcoinj-bip0032/source/detail?r=c273326f647f64295632fbbaf952d4f254ba6a1f

Since BIP 32 is not final and I've seen some change suggestions that seem to make sense (to my lay brain), eg. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=19137.msg1411989#msg1411989 , and because I've been busy, I haven't continued working on this; but I wouldn't mind a push in that direction.

Hi,

I have several fixes for the Slovenian translation, but I can't submit a pull request on github since the current Slovenian translation isn't in the master branch yet (still only a stub there: https://github.com/blockchain/Blockchain-Translations/blob/master/slovenian.json) even though it's already used in the live site.

Here's the newest version with fixes included:
https://github.com/mmazi/Blockchain-Translations/blob/slo-fixes/slovenian.json

Bug report:

The "Cost Per Transaction" value on http://blockchain.info/stats is denoted in US$, while next to it there is a link to the chart at http://blockchain.info/charts/cost-per-transaction where the chart title and y-axis label both state percentage.

I think the chart labels are wrong and should be in US$. See also http://blockchain.info/charts/cost-per-transaction-percent .

Nice, here's a euro for the Gartner hype cycle analogy You seem to be the first one to have noticed it.

I can't get v1 withdrawal to work either (based on the Bitcoin Wiki spec). Here's my attempt if anyone's interested (implemented in the XChange project):
