Uow! That's very interesting and didatic! Thanks for sharing!
edit: I can't view it properly! Image is freaking out in my screen!
What kind of device are you using? (browser?) edit: its a pdf that's embedded onto the linked page there (to keep the reference material links) could you describe what's happening so I can potentially troubleshoot it? |

I don't know about everyone else but I can't see the pic. proxy error.
and the link have nothing but pdf download (which I'm allergic of).
edit:
ah it works now.
Noted...Yea (I couldn't think of an easier portable format for the data) There's a ton of embedded links to reference materials that I would have needed to render a data points map over so the links would work - was just easier to keep it as a pdf and embed it on my site. |

The's not exactly decisive, but some devs have had death threats over their support for a particular flavor of wallet, so he's playing safe and supporting both everything and nothing. He could have stayed silent, or said he was neutral, but now he can say he supported whichever wallet wins after its won.
This rings true. But how does that stance help bitcoin, how does that attitude contribute to the common good, how does that position serve anyone but himself? He probably weighed the risk of death threats for supporting a particular wallet against not helping Bitcoin or contributing to the common good, and decided to take a position that only serves himself. Most of us are anonymous so we can support whatever wallet we like without fear of reprisals, but he has to take that into consideration. Can anyone take the idea of death threats seriously in a developed nation? Death threats are like a thing of e-thugs... real threats don't get telegraphed... |

I got the bot working...Thanks for your help on github! So I notice that the console doesn't pipe out data - I could only determine it was running by taking a peek at the logfile - is that expected behavior or should I see output in the console window running blackbird?
Yes this is the expected behavior. We decided to output everything to a log file rather than the console. You can just tail the log file in a separate screen though, if you like to watch it run. I'm guilty of doing this.  you sir....are da real mvp....this is now my favorite command in the world.  |

Well, would you wait for 30 mins to 1 hr to pay for your grocery items? No. It takes a while for btc to be have confirmations so I guess some altcoins can try to squeeze themselves in that area since some of them can be transferred in just a few minutes. Still slow as compared to paying with FIAT but that's still way better than 30 minutes or more.
I would rather have a better mechanism to pay for groceries than to have it bare metal protocol at this point...unless gyft got their act together and stepped up to provide a real grocery store...though its hard to beat the btc brokers that have $0 transfer services aka coinbase and circle. |

I've been running cat occasionally, thanks for the tip. So I was thinking about maybe moving everything into a log directory. Is there any reason you don't have the files appending to make a bigger file? One last thing, before kicking things into high gear with testing, I wanted to just let it run for awhile and at a point, I started running into problems when it tries to execute trades. hold on... ok here you go:  Max Iteration - means how long the bot should run right (in seconds?) |

I'd like to have a group chat of dedicated traders who actively invest buy/sell bitcoins. Then at the same time they are able to meet and interact with new friends. Can anyone suggest an easy to use functional chat room?
its like you never heard of ##bitcoin or whaleclub ....  |

The idea would be to only pull away from neutrality if the price of bitcoin raised greater the size of the spread you entered at (for any instance where during the arbitrage opportunity the value that bitcoin increased would be worth more than you would make when it would close). You would set a parameter so that you profit in case the cost goes down again only during the same arbitrage opportunity (rare and unlikely, but possible). Here you would actually want to pull away from neutrality (just for that time, and not necessarily for any other arbitrage opportunity, as soon as bitoin goes above some value). I dont know how to explain it better because my lexicon in this field is pretty small. Theres probably a name for this... also, for anyone interested in incorporating any other series of data sets: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1502.01073.pdfAnyways, I am interested in getting everything up and running and testing some stuff out. I am a total noob to finance and coding, (like I said this all started from realizing I should probably be investing money instead of just letting it sit around and decided to check r/personalfinance like a week ago) so I am wondering: after I install all the required software what do I do? Okay so you need to set a plan - lower spread equals more trades but a larger spread may mean perfect trades at the right time, its all on preference and volatility. From there you need to have at least two but preferrably 3 - 5 different exchange accounts all with equal amounts on them...convert this into USD.... now...generate API keys for them so they can trade (not withdraw). Use those api keys in the settings .conf file - if you followed his directions, you will have needed to download those dependencies first so the program can successfully compile and run. They are mentioned on the readme file. The mysql portion is optional - but I recommend figuring out how to install that first as a good primer to getting you acquainted with the other dependencies. If you're using windows then be sure to only download from the original sites...if linux then be sure to use your repo package or sudo apt-get. Interesting script but how would the funds be transferred between exchanges?
Doesn't work that way - you have to put the money there yourself your arbitrage flexibility is only as good as the amount per exchange not the total amount deposited across all exchanges. @butor...im curious ...what actually happens if i started the bot with all BTC  does it try to liquidate all back to fiat instantly??? could I somehow build a failsafe to point this out and abort the bot? |

You are fortunate! I would split it n 2 and save the first half and, you can, optionally save it all, if you want. Or else, you can do the same split and buy an antminer S7, where-ever you can find one and mine many SHA-256 cons and sell them on the exchanges, you lucky ****. What skil have you got that brought this on, may I ask?
You can buy a S7 and use a multipools to mine the coins and exchange to bitcoin. You can earn more bitcoin by doing that. advising against this from experience. perhaps you could earn a small steady profit through arbitrage between the diff. exchanges |

I'm a crypto newbie and discovered mastercoin recently, and learnt that it was the first crypto 2.0 project, and raised a ton of funds. What happened? why is mastercoin doing so poorly compared to the competition? I don't mean to sound rude, just genuinely interested in piecing together what happened. I appreciate people are probably still working to make mastercoin a success in the future, but something must have gone wrong somewhere in the early days to lose first mover advantage and all the ico funds.
A classic story of hubris really. Would you believe that the counterparty folks once offered to actually help build mastercoin? Yep. It was almost once one cohesive project of Bitcoin 2.0 tech. Now it's nothing really, and the division that was sowed in the community lead the real corporations to simply build their own projects rather than collaborate with the bickering "communities" down here below. So yeah. Great idea, but ideas are not enough. Anyone have reference to this story here? |

Do they really still have that much of people's money that they need to send out these deceitful e-mails regularly? Sheesh
I unsubscribed to the emails last year as I didn't pay the full price for my unit and they refused to give me my money back - it was early 2014 and it was only bank transfer or btc and also they presented it off like its a limited batch so only a small number of ppl could buy...thats's 6 BTC I'll never get back again  |

And where is the New Year's update interesting to hear new run
did the uk group class action lawsuit ever come to fruition. I remember thinking it was a good idea but that I didn't feel like being on the hook for more litigation costs. |

I have signed up for the airdrop as offered by one of the devs (via pm). Admittedly I am skeptical about this coin and the motives so I am running things in a vm sandbox for the time being. Something that strikes my attention is the quote: Community based governance - Based on the timeline of discussions that lead up to the development of this cryptocurrency, I have a suspicion that this coin's vote feature partially has the failed actions of the bitcoin foundation (BCF) to thank for creating that need (for a decentralized democratic-like mechanism to circumvent the shortcomings of the BCF). I may or may not write about the coin in detail on honeybadgerofmoney.com, depending on what I learn about it. I'll edit this post once I get more time to read through the pages and can discuss the topic in more depth. Thanks again for the invite!

Is it possible to set my default positions to be 100% btc as neutral instead of 100% fiat? I'd rather have my profit locked in as more btc. Great job by the way this is very fascinating to look through on github. and I feel lucky to have stumbled upon it.

Ugh. This is a mess. If I was running Bitmixer then I'd at least try and work with the guy if it's legit. Their service totally depends on inspiring trust in their users. At least tell him why it's not possible to return it other than the fact they simply don't want to. If they receive donations then I'm guessing they have access to the coins to spend them. No way I'd use them if they can't be bothered to address this somehow if the story checks out.
Maybe the spent the coins! Or put them in deep/cold storage. Then they could not access them. But if they did this, they are idiots. No suggestion of how it could be rectified. No attempt of solving this problem. = seems a dishonest company. I wouldn't say dishonest, unforgiving would be a better word. First line customer support at Bitmixer won't really be helpful, especially for a matter of 30BTC. Maybe they are being greedy, but it's hard to be sympathetic to somebody who would do a careless mistake. If this was a convenience store and a face to face transaction that would not be copastetic, ever. |

I just verified the last address signature as valid.  |

I know how silly this might seem, especially that I felt rather dumb, ...
Yes, I hate to burst your bubble, but anyone can create an account with the name satoshinakamoto2015. For the record, I am not Satoshi Nakamoto. right...real satoshi wouldn't have been lame enough to string along a paper one page at a time like that |

its not satoshi.. your just trying to drum up some free advertisments for your website by claiming a white paper is an "exclusive" news worthy thing..
by the way. im not tempted to look on your site. due to your sad and transparent methods of lies and tricks to get viewers..
if the white paper is any good im sure it will be available elsewhere later, and thats where i would read it.. elsewhere.
so im sorry but doing ethically negative tactics to get viewers is just ruining your rep. you have proved you make up stories, and your only 2 weeks old..
may your website never get fame and you learn a hard lesson about dodgy tactics..
what an asinine thing to say...jeez where does my site stand in comparison??? |
