What's the easiest way to transfer USD to BTC-e?

on: April 12, 2013, 03:36:51 PM

Not exactly. If you already have existing USD on an exchange, just buy Bitcoins on the first exchange and transfer them to the second exchange. This is far faster than moving USD from one exchange to another. Just my 0.02 BTC.

Isn't it easier to move BTC from one exchange to another?

Quote from: DnK on April 10, 2013, 04:51:10 AM I'd love to loan ppl BTC if we had some sort of a site that acted as a middleman. Obviously most ppl on this thread (including me) cant be trusted yet since we're all newbies... I intend on changing that soon tho =] [= Quote from: Trongersoll on April 10, 2013, 09:55:50 AM basically, loaning BTCs won't be feasable until someone comes up with a way to force repayment. Since everything is pretty much anonymous, there is no way to insure collection. How do you break a guy's legs when you don't know where in the world he is? What you're describing isn't a new problem. Marketplaces have solved it m by having a means for buyers to rate sellers (and vice versa) as well as having an escrow system. A good example is PayPal.

Quote from: theblazehen on April 09, 2013, 04:40:07 AM This loan is no longer needed. Bitpay is sending my money back Does anyone still need 0.0820 BTC? Also just trying to break out of newbie-ville.

It will be nice when I'm able to comment on topics of interest to me. In the meantime, I bought my first Bitcoins on Sunday. yay.

Quote from: MoonShadow on March 27, 2013, 02:27:21 PM Quote from: lazarus on March 27, 2013, 02:13:12 PM I read that Deepbit had over 50% of Bitcoin's computational power (which poses another problem besides the obvious). What if it were attacked? Now Bitcoin doesn't seem quite as distributed to me. Such an attack would slow transactions down tremendously? That's a very old report you were reading. The current data can be found at www.bitcoinwatch.com, down near the bottom in a pie chart. BTW "other" is a collection of unknown miners, that may or may not be a single entity, but probably not. No single group comes close to 50%. Around June 2011, so yes I suppose: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=12120.0. Thanks for the information, everyone!

Quote from: flibbr on March 27, 2013, 02:11:37 PM I think worse case scenario could involve quantum computing breaking all the public keys - but I don't even know what this means. DDOS... against who ? Every person out there ? It'd be like everyone pinging each other... ping pong..

If massive amounts of computational power, cryptography, and distributed networks are the only things backing the Bitcoin economy, would it be possible for distributed attacks to bring it down? Virii, DDOS, EMP's, network outages. What's the worst case scenario that Bitcoin can withstand?

I should probably be reading some FAQ somewhere, but how do we get out of restricted mode?
