hey why don't the arabs collect their taxes via BTCitcoin, thereby circumventing the jews altogether?
Now that is the power of bitcoin right there

The best way to buy shares of AMC is through bitfunder.com The price is set based upon supply and demand as determined by the bids and asking prices of people who use Bitfunder. Hello, Is it possible to buy shares directly to AMC ?
(...)
Thank you
Actually, that's a very good question. There should be a way to buy shares directly from Ken.Imagine he posts a batch at 0.0008 and gets immediately undercut at prices like 0.000799, etc, from flippers. Even if cheaper, I don't want to buy from them, I want to buy from Ken. AMC doesn't see a satoshi from shares bought from flippers, but any shares bought from Ken is a direct AMC investment. In the end, any shareholder is getting more bang for their BTC by buying shares directly from Ken, as that translates to AMC growth, while buying from flippers does not. There is another side to the coin which I think few are taking into account. When we are talking in the real world with new share issues, IPO's and similar - the large investors 99.99999% are able to buy shares cheaper than retail investors. So, myself for example, I am serious looking at buying a very large number of shares in AMC, but I would not go and by 2,000,000 shares right now from the market (bitfunder) for these reasons: 1. I would be driving the price up in order to soak up 2,000,000 shares - which initially looks good for investors, bad for me, but the price will most likely drop again anyway. 2. Why would I pay more than .0008 on the market, when I know that is the limit set by kslaughter 3. As a large investor, I would most certainly want and hope for a discounted rate than the present market rate. How that would happen is probably best as a private transaction, but WITH public knowledge. Nothing under the table. I am a firm believer in that. Then, as it is a private transaction, those shares released would then need to be stapled on to the market again. My 2 satoshi's as an investor. And yes, I am seriously interested in a large investment.

Historically, it appears the contrarian approach was generally correct: First, BFL announces their project and everyone falls in love with it. Avalon announces later and people were told, "Don't waste your time with avalon. BFL will outproduce them and beat them to market: it will never be worth it." At that point, in hindsight, Avalon was actually the better deal. As the months tacked on, the advice became, "BFL is such a scam, or at least so incompetent, that batch 2/3 Avalons are the only good investment. Even now when Avalons cost significantly more than batch 1. Everyone with BFL orders should get their refund before the ship sinks." Now in hindsight, it appears that BFL is shipping a couple hundred 5 GH/s miners per week based on http://bfl.ptz.ro/, so if the trend continues and accelerates, it's possible Avalon 3s will sink (Avalon 2s may be ok). Those that kept their BFL preorders, or even made new orders, look likely to come out ahead over avalon batch 3. Now prices have changed for everyone, BTC/$ has changed, and community based Avalon and BFL chip projects are showing up. At this point, the only question is "Who can ship to me first? If both will arrive at the same time, who has less power?" Since there is no Avalon batch 4 (yet), and the the avalon 3rd party systems are in the pre-prototype stage, the only thing left to do is the calculation of whether the USB ASIC miners (blades for high $/GH) are a better deal than placing a bet on a BFL order. There was also the, "The sky is falling! 100 TH/s added to the network in August! Don't buy any ASIC miner!" based on the amount of money Avalon's chip sales account raised. That has yet to be seen whether to be true, but based on past warnings - the opposite may be more likely. Agreed Nice post .. well thought out.

fincen = USA What about the other 95% of the population Also funny that most of these exchanges base themselves in the US.....dat just askin for trouble. Well not really. The problem is, even if you are based OUTSIDE of the US, how do you accept USD deposits. And how do you send them when they are withdrawn. That's why Mt.Gox had trouble in the US, they still had accounts there, even though they aren't based there. So, how does an exchange get around that? And why do you even need to accept USD?...hell I've been in btc from early on, never seen or touched a USD in my life. Simple don't trade in USD like 95% of the worlds population My point was that as an EXCHANGE, you would really want to accept USD right? otherwise you are cutting out a big market - ie. all US peeps

I decided I'd better add some better security to my Mt.Gox account, so for the last few days I've tried to add a Yubikey. But, it goes to this page which has 503 error, which has been like that for days now: https://yubikey.mtgox.com/I'm thinking now, is trying to get a Yubikey even worth it? Are there any best practice methods of keeping your account at Mt.Gox secure? Cheers bigdude

they are a business, why would they lower their fees, when they don't have to ?

Can someone describe, in layman terms, how this might have been market manipulation?

it was at 87 a few weeks ago and bounced back to 130. I'm sure you said it was "game over" then too. If you say that every time it drops, you will be right eventually but wrong every other time of course.
this! this!

Look folks, regardless of how much Dropbox is cooperating with the NSA at this point, their service is clearly insecure. People have had their (unencrypted) bitcoin wallets emptied after saving them on Dropbox.
Serious? Link?

LOL WINKLEVOSS TWINS!!!
