Dear friends & members of the Bitcoin community. Firstly I appologise for any typo or mistake. Im not a native english speaker and I write from my mobile. We write this brief text to inform the community that the site http://www.venebitcoin.com/ is a scam and that we personally lost 300 USD because of their wrongdoing. SADLY, the beginning of the Bitcoin Industry in Venezuela is actually a sad one. We ventured to buy there Bitcoins because we are Venezuelans and we wanted to promote the newborn Bitcoin industry in our country. As you know, Venezuela has a fierce currency exchange control and there is great expectations on this industry to emerge there as an alternative to such control. These guys used the urgency we have as a society to profit and make quick buck and we would like to use this platform to inform others so they don't fall for such a scam! My wife and I decided to support the bitcoin community in Venezuela which is very small and which we consider to be very important to develop due to the currency controll that grips my homeland. Im very experienced and supportive of bitcoin in general so I understood that I was risking my savings whilst doing this because its a new exchange. We deposited our trust, time, efforts and good will on their site on the 27th of February, and they deposited our money in their accounts and disappeared after a brief exchange of emails and a promise to sort the problems they have with their "payment processing platform" in 48-72 hours. Despite of asuming to take this risk, I took some considerations, checked there was no negative background, that the company was active on twitter, and knowing was that this was a newly founded company I wrote to them asking questions before I proceeded. They replied and answered my questions. Most revleant one :: is your system automatized??? to what they replied: YES. THE VERY BIG MISTAKE I MADE was to actually spend such a sum on a newly and non-trustworthy entity, but I did because I fealt proud and excited that there were signs of a BTC community emerging in Venezuela. After I paid and 5 hrs passed without me recieving my coins I wrote them an email and they replied that because my transaction came from outside of the US, their system requiered them to do a manual check which wouldt take 42-72 working hrs. I worte to them that I was becoming uneasy, that they had to deliver my BTC and they replied that we needed to wait this time to do so. I angrily came back to them asking for a refund and they said that it was difficult due to their payment platform conditions. They offered me to send me a small portion of my BTC as a sign of good faith and to calm me down. At this point I was sure this was a scam. I accepted their proposal and i worte them a pretty comperhensive (and bitcoin-epic) email showing SERIOURS support to the community in Venezuela, serious desire not to hinder their newly-born enterprise and promissing them not go public about this before the time they had requested me (the tuesday after the friday where we were at this point). I actually waited untill wednesday night and they didnt replied. I wrote many messages to them before going public and I saw myself speaking alone for two days and today wednesday I published the first info on the internet. They replied 4 days ago saying that they didnt agreed with the fact that I went to the social networks, that their solence was due to the carnival hollidays in Venezuela (note that their page says their offices are in Miami and Caracas) that their boss was now on a meeting and that they will come back to me as soon as possible. They obviously didnt. Tomorrow will be 10 days since I transfered them the money. My account was charged and I already made peace with what happened. I just DONT WANT ANY BAD ACTORS TO DESTROY WHAT WE HAVE BEEN BUILDING FOR YEARS and DONT WANT ANY OF YOU TO GO THROUGH THIS. I promise a full article on the subject on my blog and on this space as soon as my working schedule allows me too. TL,DR ::: Its a scam. They are playing as if its not by replying some emails and doing some shady actions. |

I use bitcoincharts with the function: =Index(ImportHTML("http://bitcoincharts.com/"&"?workaround="&INT(NOW()*1E3)&REPT(GoogleFinance("GOOG");0),"table",4),2,2)That'll cause the newest price to be downloaded, and be refreshed damn fast.  SO MANY THANKS! Have a great day! Will tip soon when I get my next reward! l. |

Saludos! Le recomiendo dada mi experiencia las siguientes dos opciones que funcionan 100% seguro :: 1) Abir una cuenta en Mt Gox ( https://mtgox.com/) y transferir fondos via su cuenta bancaria (tarda varios dias y uno tiene que registrarse y validar su cuenta antes de proceder) 2) Consultar el sitio Local Bitcoins ( https://localbitcoins.com/) para buscar gente que este comprando o vendiendo bitcoins cerca de donde estas. Este metodo de compra consiste en encontrarse en un cafe, llevar su laptop y hacer la transferencia in-situ, chequear en tu propia wallet que la transferencia ocurra y dar el dinero en efectivo (A alternativamente chequearlo directamente desde el block chain con un mobil con acceso a internet - https://blockchain.info/es). Para links basicos e informacion mas profunda le recomiendo estos sitio y cuentas de Twitter en español :: http://bitcoineando.tumblr.com/ www.twitter.com/bitcoineandohttp://elbitcoin.org/Buena suerte en su entrada a Bitcoin! |

No puedo aportar a esta idea una explicación posible! Pero si note que el wiki site tampoco esta en Japones! Si esta en chino sin embargo!
Es una buena pregunta la que planetas!

Queridos amig@s. Espero que todo este genial por sus respectivas esquinas. Quizás este post llega casi como spam para algunos de ustedes que estén muy enterados acerca de la materia, quizás para otros llegue como un feed de links inesperados que los mete en un vortex tan inmenso e interesante como en el que me he metiendo en las pasadas 3 semanas… Indistintamente a ello, creo que es importante mencionar estos vínculos en nuestro espacio para ayudar a rodar la idea y esparcir semillas. Este debate es de suma importancia para el futuro de nuestro planeta. Estamos estrictamente atados a los deseos de política económica de el Banco de la Reserva Federal de los EEUU y el Banco de Inglaterra. Su influencia en los mercados de valores, y la influencia de los fondos privados en las actividades políticas aseguran que la oferta de dinero este alineada a la necesidad de los grandes capitales internacionales. El mundo no opera de forma justa, eso lo sabemos todos, y especialmente en el tema monetario nos encontramos ante una coyuntura particularmente delicada puesto que estamos a la merced de los errores o aciertos de las elites políticas y económicas en su jugar diario con las finanzas de nuestros gobiernos. Viniendo de un país con una moneda débil (+ control de cambio) entendemos claramente que Bitcoin significa la primera herramienta real que se nos presenta por delante para transformar el espacio financiero global para siempre y para darle mas poder al ciudadano promedio del mundo para preservar el valor de su trabajo. Esto se debe a que Bitcoin es la primera moneda descentralizada de cualquier autoridad monetaria y esto tiene implicaciones muy profundas. En este blog exploraremos las criptomonedas y sus implicaciones en nuestro día a día y en como vamos a hacer finanzas y manejar nuestros valores en el futuro. Por hoy, les dejo una colección de links relevantes que considero importante chequear para entrar a la discusión bien informados. ****** PRIMERO el video creado por los programadores que introdujeron el protocolo www.BITCOIN.org :: http://youtu.be/Um63OQz3bjo :: **** Una breve explicación en texto hecha también hecha por los creadores ::: http://bitcoin.org/es ::: Como funciona :: http://bitcoin.org/es/como-funciona***** Aquí el wiki infinito (Solo en Ingles, Aleman y Japones) :: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_Page::: Tambien la seccion en español de Bitcointalk (principal foro acerca de la materia) ::: :: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=27.0 :: :: **** Es importante entender que estamos hablando de una “Cryptomoneda" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency) cuyo valor es generado gracias a un protocolo Open-Source y Peer-2-Peer que corre en todas las computadoras que están minando bitcoin y las personas que tienen el cliente Bitcoin (el programa o “wallet") abierto. Este protocolo requiere de códigos criptograficos únicos los cuales tienen una dificultad alta (la cual es graduable) y que requieren de una red de computadoras personales, computadoras muy poderosas o de chips especialmente adaptados para lograr ser producidos. Estos códigos criptograficos permiten el registro de todas las transacciones y son la materia prima utilizada por los nodos que están activamente minando el protocolo para producir las soluciones que permiten que todas las transacciones que están ocurriendo en este momento sean procesadas. ***** Que es minar bitcoin? Prepararemos un post especial para este tema, sin embargo, mientras tanto les dejamos un buen post en Taringa acerca de que es minar y como minar Bitcoins y Litecoins (Pronto haremos nuestra propia guia educativa al respecto) :: http://goo.gl/j8RGj***** Aquí un programa en London Real TV con Max Keiser como invitado especial (publicado el 16 de Mayo de 2013). Este programa es largo y es ingles, sin embargo, explica muy didacticamente que es Bitcoin y toca otros temas relacionados al estado actual de la economía :: http://goo.gl/hAKiB :: *** A continuación un gran thread que es una compilación de tutorías de la Kahn Academy acerca de como funciona el protocolo de Bitcoin. Estos videos ayudan al publico a entender a un nivel básico como funciona el “BlockChain" y es muy accesible para aquellos que no hablamos lenguaje de programación. Aquí la lista a estos videos los cuales también están en ingles desafortunadamente para nuestro publico solo hispano parlante ::: Overview :: http://goo.gl/M6YEhWhat is it :: http://goo.gl/jQH2m Transaction block chains :: http://goo.gl/BHLJi The Money Supply :: http://goo.gl/ItPUVProof Of Work :: http://goo.gl/h8xb6 Security of the Transaction Block Chains :: http://goo.gl/XkxB4 Transaction records :: http://goo.gl/KfnjP Signatures :: http://goo.gl/qo9QC Cryptographic Hash Function :: http://goo.gl/l2Us0******* Ahora, este es solo el principio de la historia y porsupuesto que esto no termina en Bitcoin solamente. En un proximo post hablaremos de las monedas alternativas y otras opciones a bitcoin. Aqui un thread de Bitcoin Talk que explora el tema en profundiad ::: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=134179.0Buena suerte en su aventura ((Cualquier pregunta pueden enviarla por este espacio y también pueden contactarnos vía nuestro Twitter :: www.twitter.com/Bitcoineando))) |

Fair enough. I believe mining is either a professional huge enterprise or a very interesting and fun hobby. Either or, the decentralisation of the money supply its whats truly game-changing.

Not everyone is buying these things to get a ROI. I mine for the challenge of getting the best hashes from my hardware possible, and keeping my uptime as close to 100% as I can. It's a hobby. The fact I get some money out of it is a bonus to me.
Same for me! And its a way also to put your "money where your mouth is", to spend some good old bitcoins and to bring from the fiat into the crypto economy. Without mentioning that we are also running all the global finances! I trully think that its fascinating and makes a bit extra cash! I talk about this from the ammateur miner's perspective! I have trully found a beautifull vortex that has given me very important lessons about modernity! Lets hope it all continues swell! |

Yo seguiré apostando al bitcoin, pero voy a tener que optar por dolarizar una parte de mis ahorros porque cada vez me hace sentír algo más inseguro, no por su sistema en si, si no por la forma en la que se lo maneja desde hace un tiempo.
Es una excelente manera de aproximarse a estos momentos iniciales de alta volatilidad! Buena suerte por tu lado! |

We had this same problem back in the 1990s, during the first moneypunk wave. People are making the same mistakes, too. Every good revolutionary knows that he or she must provide something to the people that the status quo does not provide. Manhattan bars do not need Bitcoin. Big, domestic retailers do not need Bitcoin. (Don't trot out the 'no chargebacks' argument. We tried that. It didn't work.) I am working with young entrepreneurs down here in South Florida to get small-scale merchants in Latin America and the Caribbean to accept Bitcoin. There already are a bunch of programmers in Argentina who accept Bitcoin, in part to bypass their currency controls. (Oddly, I'm not hearing much from Venezuela, which is even worse.) One problem is that Bitcoin stinks of Silicon Valley, which is notoriously US-centric. Tell a Valley VC that you are going for the international market, and he'll tell you not to 'dilute' your focus. Down here, I defy anyone not to do international trade. We have the world's two busiest cruise ports in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, which also are major pan-American freight ports, we are closer to dozens of foreign capitals than we are to Washington, DC, and all five major languages native to the Western Hemisphere are spoken here... often in the same sentence. (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, French; plus Russian, German, and Hebrew) We don't need Wal-Mart to accept Bitcoin. We have Gyft for that. What we need is more remittance networks to major cities in the Developing World and more small-scale import/export. Porn and gambling could drive demand and awareness, but those guys already know about Bitcoin, and they'll do their thing when they are ready. Dear Friend. Hope all is great on your end. Venezuela is currently (since 2002) under a very tight and restrictive currency exchange control. Thats why you hear little or nothing from us. The amount of foreign currency is limited by law. There is a 400 USD online limit (YEARLY) and a cap of 400 USD withdrawals of foreign currency in cash (only abroad) per month. All deals in foreign currency must be (indirectly, via the banks) approved by CADIVI (organism which controls the currency) Its a tough nut to crack, yet, if venezuelans get more openminded and progressive (specially programmers) the growth of bitcoin in Venezuela promises to be spectacular. Lets hope this lid is opened soon and the ball gets rolling there soon. What bitcoin needs is the first country that massively and openly adopts it, and then the cycle re-ignite in a way more sustainable fashion. |

Esperar a que baje y tomarlo con calma! Yo siento que es un momento historico en el cual no debemos caer en panico y hemos de tener confianza! Hay que ser cautelosos, pero tambien mirar hacia el futuro. Quizas aparecen oportunidades de comprar bajo y luego este hecho le ofrece beneficios a los que conservaron la calma y creyeron en las virtudes, novedad y vigencia del protocolo...
Dedos cruzados!

Dear friends!
Im sort of n00b in the sense of mining so apologise if the questions is a bit boring.
I left mining my Imac overnight conected to slush's pool port 3333. I have propperly installed the stratum protocol and I can connect perfectly (and quite successfully) to BTCguild...
When I woke up in the morning, CGminer reports 530 shares accepted however in Slushs pool I only see 134 (and 0 shares denied)....
Im I doing something wrong or is it that slush's pool / mac compatibility is not so great???
Details of my computer ::
Graphics :: AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB
Software :: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
Thanks!
Have a great day!

i have a good feeling that most of western countries backed by gold keeping wealthy elite families will end up making cryptocurrencies illegal. just like torrent network is being attacked now. in uk in the past year most of torrent hosted websites have been blocked. but i assume that they will shoot themselves in the foot as rest of the world will continue to develop in growth by using cryptocurrencies and drifting away from dollar/euro/pound. at that point wars might start just to restore the use of banking systems there and making cryptocurrencies illegal worldwide. we can speculate all day here - lets wait and see. im very interested to follow the world development after people taken control of their wealth.
The gold standard no longer exists, no western country has it's currency or economy backed by gold any longer. Both the USD and GBP are backed by confidence - confidence in the system, confidence in the ability to use a USD or a GBP to buy a good. As confidence erodes , the value erodes. To restore confidence the Fed and Bank of England (and now the Bank of Japan) have embarked on money printing exercises which have the impact of providing "free" money which is then used to buy assets that post a return. This has reinforced confidence but has had the impact of creating new asset bubbles. If those asset bubbles unwind sharply then once again confidence in the system will be questioned. I think that there has been a shift towards gold as a better deposit of value than Fiat currencies in the last decade, SPECIALLY since the 2008 financial collapse! Countries that are not understanding this trend would be seriously affected afte the upcoming collapse. China, Russia, Brasil, Venezuela and India have all been very busy buying gold... The UK however sold on cheap in 2006 (thanks to Gordon Brown [link]http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/finance/thomaspascoe/100018367/revealed-why-gordon-brown-sold-britains-gold-at-a-knock-down-price/[link/]) :: On the other hand, due to uncertainty and due to a weak euro-pound-dollar combination, Germany asked for the repatriation of 26% of their gold thats deposited at the Federal Reserve in the US!! As another element in this answer, In 2012 all central banks together bought more gold than in the previous 50 years!!! ::: [link]http://www.cnbc.com/id/100458951[/link]... Even though is true that the Bretton Woods accord changed the balance of international economy to center around the dollar (which means, value backed upon the Use of Force) its also important to note that there seems to be a return to gold as an agreed and solid source of value that its not vulnerable to the money-printing caprice of Ben Bernanke and George Osbourne (+the company of most G8 countries)... This is another place where Bictoin appears as an unexpected lifesaver for the modern Homo-Sapiens adventure. A de-centralised source of value seems to be an essential element that needs to be put in place for a truly sustainable future. |
