IT DOES APPEAR TO BE INFECTED.
Avira AntiVir is telling me that the exe contains a pattern of SPR/Tool.BitCoinMiner.a.1
Note that there have been a number of Trojans lately that include Bitcoin miners - the trojan infects people's computers, and mines for whoever controls the botnet. I'm willing to bet that this is a false positive, and because GUIMiner contains the ability to mine bitcoins (as it should), it's being falsely marked as one of the bitcoin mining trojans. I haven't actually taken a look, but I would guess it's harmless. That's what I was thinking too. But like you said, there are some new miner trojans being released, and I wouldn't download this without being 100% sure. |

Cool. I like the new layout. Nice and compact.

Yes, it is a false positive. Do not panic dear newb.
I wouldn't risk downloading it until we can be sure. |

I think the simplest answer to this question is the following:
Yes, there probably will one day come a time when enough Bitcoins are lost/destroyed that the currency starts to have problems. However, the length of time required for that to happen is probably hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of years. By that time many things could have happened; some one might invent a better currency, humans might go extinct, etc.

the trading algorithm... relatively easy
my algorithm doesn't make many trades
Actually the algo IS the hardest past in a bot. It took me three hours to code the bot and 2 months to create the algo. Yes, but error handling would be fairly hard too. I can see what Olomana was getting at. edit: I have actually wanted to create a trading bot a while now, but if I did it would be one of the only projects I don't release as open source (for several reasons). The way I wanted to do it is develop some PHP scripts which are actually controlled (triggered) by a desktop application (in Delphi 7) which also allows you to heavily tweak the configuration of the bot, display important graphs, and all sorts of other nifty features. |

- Learn C, then you're almost ready to learn PHP and others.
I highly doubt PHP is more complicated than C. PHP is a web language, and it's actually not very hard to learn. @OP, It really depends on what you want to make and how intelligent you are. If you want to make web applications I recommend that you stick with popular open languages like PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, and of course (X)HTML. If you want to develop desktop applications than you're best bet is to probably learn one of the C languages and/or Java. If you want to stick with easy languages try Delphi or VB instead. Or if you want a basic scripting language try PascalScript or VBscript. What languages do I know? All the ones I listed except C languages.  |

Too bad I cannot use it because I don't have windows :-(
Well since it's made in Delphi 7, it wouldn't be overly hard to make it work on Linux machines. I can't be bothered doing it, as I don't really use my Linux machine much. But if anyone does do it, let me know. But the fact that it runs on Windows is a good thing! If bitcoins are going to become mainstream then people need to start writing bitcoin tools for systems other than Linux / BSD (OS X). Thanks for your contribution! I agree, and the software also needs to be simple and easy to use/understand. I always enjoy turning something complex into something simple.  |

I have implemented support for a couple of new bitcoinchart currencies such as the AUD dollar. Anyone with the old app will probably need to upgrade.

I really like the idea of a decentralized exchange, it compliments the Bitcoin project nicely. There is way too much centralization going on imo, with exchanges like Mt. Gox and mining pools like DeepBit, both of which have crashed at least once now. I assume it's based on a web of trust or something similar to the #bitcoin-otc?

From the article: “I don’t think you will find that mark registered in any country. If it in fact is so important to so many people, as I’ve received lots of indicators that it is, I sort of ponder the question, would I let that mark go unregistered if it were that important? Either it’s not important to them or it’s important but they’re not doing anything about it because… it’s easier to sit on your couch and complain than to do something,” he said. What a douche. He's trying to call us lazy, whilst at the same time is attempting to trademark something he didn't even create. No one has trademarked it because no one owns it. It's open source software, a decentralized P2P network. No one owns the software or name. |

Yah, it's good. I was thinking about making a trading bot, I have the programming skills but probably not enough economics/trading knowledge to make it work well.

I'm Bob Dole, and I approve this message.
That made me LOL so hard.  But if I'm brutally honest with myself, I would say Bitcoin has a 35% chance of failing. That's just a wildly speculative guess though, based on my understanding of how it works, which isn't very advanced. I do believe a secure crypto-currency is completely possible. The question is, will Bitcoin be that currency. It already has quite a large sum of real dollars invested in it, so a sudden failure would be quite catastrophic. |

Hmmm, well I've never had a problem with MyBitcoin. I just cashed out because you guys are making me worried, but I got my bitcoins from them fine. I will continue to use their services, but I wont store excessive amounts of BTC with them. If they implement a password recovery mechanism they will solve a lot of problems.

So how many coins have you destroyed so far OP? You'd need to destroy more than 65000 to even destroy 1% of all the coins currently existing. Considering the value of each bitcoin, I highly doubt you'll convince many people to destroy bitcoins. Not to mention, you'll be long dead before all the bitcoins are ever created. <- sarcastically annoying docile smile |

I can see them on your decentralized design website, they look good.  |

I like it!
Thank you! And please send me a notice when you release an updated version of that bitcoin economy widget thingy. Man, I need to switch over to these buttons if or when I get a cart solution for my site. I now appreciate them a little more than when I first seen this thread.
I'm not really a graphics artists at all, but those buttons turned out a lot better than I expected. Let me know if you use them. |

Is this true? Is there anywhere we can view the current statistics? I thought DeepBit has had over 50% once before.
try http://bitcoinwatch.com/True, I forgot about that. But yeah, bitcoinwatch is showing DeepBit has close to 50%. I really don't know why so many people use DeepBit, what is the attraction? Popularity? |
