App is driving me nuts.. did a couple larger transactions fine and seemed useful as a utility. However now even after trying to reset the chain etc it just randomly decides I have unavailable balance, even if I have previously spent some and received none in the mean time. Really making me pull my hair out right now.
Reset blockchain, managed to get it up to date and send one transaction before it locked up again. Freezes after three resets on 2week sync, refuses to finish.. should have used that one transactions ti send my coins out!
This is the same problem I'm having, if you start with an empty wallet, receive 10 Bitcoins, get a lot of confirmations, and you then spend .01 Bitcoins, it now tells you that you have 9.99 Bitcoins waiting for confirmation again. This is a bug and needs to be fixed. |

Good news. We have figured out a solution for this problem. Bitmit is not going to be sold. Business as usual =)
I am sorry for the insecurity this may have caused.
Hooray! |

I wish I had more to contribute, but I just want to chip in another voice saying that Bitmit is invaluable to the Bitcoin community and I hope a good businessperson takes over.
I'd buy stock in it if glbse was still running. . .

the country selection is working properly for me now. I've another problem/feature request:: I've setup a sale but got a better offer elsewhere. There's no way to notify the bidders or close the auction.
You should not be able to cancel an auction. A person auctioning an item should be required to sell it to the winner of the auction. Once you've started the auction, it should be considered a contract between the seller and the highest bidder. |

And if you offered me the choice of looking at some 67-foot cube of gold and looking at it all day, you know, I mean touching it and fondling it occasionally, you know, and then saying, you know, `Do something for me,’ and it says, `I don’t do anything. I just stand here and look pretty.’ And the alternative to that was to have all the farmland of the country, everything, cotton, corn, soybeans, seven ExxonMobiles. Just think of that. Add $1 trillion of walking around money.
I, you know, maybe call me crazy but I’ll take the farmland and the ExxonMobiles….."
Put in that situation, I'd choose the farmland and the ExxonMobils, and $1 trillion in gold rather than $1 trillion in cash. |

The US dollar is not backed either.
This is not exactly correct. I would say that USD is backed by US armed forces. One could say that USD and most other fiat currencies are backed by future tax revenues to be confiscated from enslaved population of corresponding country or political block. I would also say that Bitcoin is backed by The People, i.e. you and me and everyone else who accepts and pays in Bitcoin. How many US armed forces or future tax revenues can I get in exchange for a dollar? And how many people can I get in exchange for a Bitcoin? The answer is none, because they are not backed by anything unless you are going way into the metaphorical sense. |

It is not exchanged at a set rate for anything else. Thus it is not backed.
The US dollar is not backed either.
I don't know about "Goldmoney."

I want to register my otc account with LocalBitcoins, but my OTC account was done with GPG and not a Bitcoin signature. Is it possible to regster my OTC account? I've tried submitting my GPG signature and it doesn't seem to work.

Is it hard to add also "requests"?
I mean that people should be able to add requests for some objects.
Examples:
- I want 10# of the newspaper "the time"
- I want this model of mobile phone AB1234 used or new
Yeah, I think requested items would be a great feature. I've requested it before and have been told it will come, but I don't think it's a priority. I wish it would be. |

Drop the coins on a table and listen to the ringing sound. Tungsten should sound different. Also, I am 90% certain you can't press tungsten the way that gold coins are minted. It's very brittle and hard. So the fine details on these coins are probably going to look different than on real minted coins. I would also like to hear from anyone who has seen these coins in person. I have my doubts. |

Not that I know of, but you can use ING P2P for buying from some sellers on the IRC channel #bitcoin-otc. This method of trade requires a bit of reading and learning to use.

Further information on the same problem I was having.
I have .08 bitcoins in my "Bitcoin Wallet" wallet. They have been there for over a week.
I sent .02 BTC to Satoshi Dice. I lost. Okay. Now I have .06 BTC in my wallet. I try to send another .02 BTC to SatoshiDice. And it tells me I have .06 BTC waiting for confirmation.
Looking at my wallet address on blockchain.info it says that from my wallet, .02 was sent to SatoshiDice and .06 was sent to my same wallet address I was sending from.
So I conclude that Bitcoin Wallet is waiting on confirmations for Bitcoins that were sent from my wallet back to the same wallet.
That isn't supposed to be how it works, is it? If I spend part of my Bitcoins I shouldn't have to wait to spend the remainder of them.

First dip gold in water to find the amount of displacement.
as written above, this is pretty hard. second, and as an additional point why this doesn't work: you can mix the tungsten with small amounts of some other very cheap element to get the exact density of gold. then, both parts (pure gold, and the tungsten+something mix) have exactly the same density. Heh. No.no he's right. you could toss a little platinum in there to offset the weight to have a net equivalent density of gold in the same volume. in the end you'd really have to go to more complex testing eg ultrasound or conductivity Platinum? Let's keep things cheap while we're ripping people off. A proper ratio mixture of lead and tungsten could have the exact density of gold. Show work please, then apologize. According to my back of the napkin calculation, you'd only need to add 1.5% platinum to tungsten by volume to get the same density as gold. That would be a pretty minimal expense. You are right. My apologies. Tungsten is .25% lighter than gold, not heavier, and so whatever you mix with tungsten to get the density of gold would have to be denser than gold, not lighter. Platinum would be the cheapest and most obtainable thing to use to mix with tungsten to match gold's density. 19.25W + 21.45P = 19.3 where W is cubic centimeters of tungsten and P is ccs of platinum. W+P = 1 where we're looking for 1 cc Solving these two equations gives us P = .02272727. . ccs of platinum and W = .97727 ccs of tungsten So, if you're having 1 cc of this fake gold, it would be made up of .97727 ccs of tungsten with a mass of 18.8125g, and .02272727ccs of platinum with a mass of .4875g. 18.8125+.4875 = 19.30, exactly what one cc of gold would weigh. |

Here is a way to test without ultrasound equipment.
First dip gold in water to find the amount of displacement. The displacement will give you a very accurate volume of the bar. Now using a scale measure the weight of the bar. Using the volume and the atomic weight of gold you can also calculate weight. If the calculated weight and measured weight are the same it's a real bar. If it is lighter then it might have tungsten in it. Something like that.
As others have said, it is difficult to calculate a small volume such as a 10 oz gold bar to an accuracy of 0.25% using the "dip in water" method. You would need to be more accurate than 0.25% to detect tungsten in the bar. |

Since some of it is real gold, the bar will weigh roughly a half gram more than it is supposed to, on a 311 gram bar.
well, if it says 311 gramm, it will weight 311 gramm. what they change is most likely the size! i.e. a fraction of a mm on a non-even surface (where the embossed numbers and letters are) is impossible to notice. therefore, one has to measure the actual volume, which is pretty hard. But does Pamp Suisse guarantee that their bars are 10.00000000000000000000 troy ounces exactly? Surely there is a tolerance, such as + or - .001 troy ounces Or .01 troy ounces. |
