On the 39th floor above Canary Wharf, overlooking London's finance centre, I found a cash machine with a difference. This ATM chews up your £10 notes rather than spewing them out, and in return you get a computer code. This is the world's first Bitcoin cash machine and if the people showing it to me are to be believed, it shows us the future of money.

Playing merry hell with my client. Well, the debug log anyway.
No way of blocking IPs is there? So blocked it on my router.

After countless failed attempts some months ago, I just had another go at trying to build bitcoind for the mipsel architecture... specifically my router.
I recently bought an ASUS RT-N66U which boasts a mighty 256Mb RAM and 600MHz processor, so thought I'd give it another go.
So, after about 3 solid days of finding the right compiler, right GCC/binutils/uclibc combination, tweaking them; finding the right libraries, their right versions and tweaking those, I finally, finally FINALLY managed to build and run it on my router!

Currently using up 99% CPU usage and 75Mb RAM downloading all the blocks.
It's an un-optimised un-striped debug build that's running under GDB right now, so there's some room for efficiency.

A whole bunch of coverage from the BBC recently. Can't be an entirely bad thing.

For me:
1. Not selling a bunch at $260 when I was seriously considering it.
2. Not logging in to account in time to cancel the buy @220 when I saw the price plummet to 222.

Damnit!

I want to connect to a bitcoin server I have running on my home network, rather than a local copy... can we specify an IP/hostname:port somewhere to connect to?

Just been using intersango, which I don't want to use anymore
- Can't deposit GBP
- Very limited order book
- Withdrawal fee 13GBP

MtGox
- Wire tansfer fee 2000JPY ~13.8GBP
- SEPA fee 5.5PLN ~1.1GBP + exchange rate/fees???
- Trading fee 0.65%
- Arium exchange 15GBP wire transfer

Saw a recommendation for Bitstamp:
- No direct GBP: USD->EUR->GBP
- Exhange rates/fees
- SEPA fee 0.90EUR
- Or Wire transfer for $15
- Trading fee 0.5%

I have US and UK banks and they charge $30 transfer (both HSBC actually... wonderful that 'The worlds local bank' charge me to transfer my own money within the same bank)

Others?

What do you think buying $20,000.00 worth of BTC would do to the market?
