Website under heavy load, no doubt its a DDOS to add to the panic, as per normal Bitcoin world

Its bad that a site went down? Cmon guys how many times has Stamp, Gox, BTC-e gone down??

Agree but lets not pretend that cryptonote doesn't have some drawbacks as well.

Im very interested in hearing proposals to deal with blockchain bloat for instance?

Just wait for the buying back to start and the pigs to be slaughtered

How many coins were bought between $440 and this price 24 hours ago? A shit load, one person could be selling all those coins, theoretically, its only been 1500 a big entity could have eaasily bought 1500 coins between $450 and $500 and selling them now for close to $100k profit.

Just think its silly to always assume everytime someone sells that its in panic and they don't know what theyre doing. Some unknown news is more likely obviously.

I would expect a decent retrace here, the longs on Bitfinex are the highest they've been since the first week in feb.

selling != panic selling. If you bought a significant number of coins at any point other than say yesterday, taking a few k profit is not a bad move.

My guess is just a correction, Im expecting some new , money on the exchanges in the next few hours so would stand to reason some bigger players trying to increse their position before it enters.

Who knows, but one of the joys of buying back low $400's and being general in a bullish market is not having to fret too much. IMO its silly to buy or sell here, just hodl

lol this is why you have to bear in mind what your planning on doing on these forums when you join a sig campaign, its not spam per se within the thread but its certainly spamming the sig and post count. Is this recent or somebody trying to bump their post count?

I know I know just making conversation

Drk is frozen on mint pal cryptsy and polo I speculate when they come back up people will take some profits that they have been holding of which a lot of people have many. Also wasn't the first fork that long ago ? Im lead to believe it has forked more than once ?

Protip: with drk having it's fork and generally being overvalued anyway expect an injection of btc into MRO.

I still think your missing the point. People keep saying this is old news and yes the questionnaire is. What is now being discussed is being asked for proof of funds even to the point of being asked to sign personal bitcoin addresses. This is above and beyond any normal kyc and aml that most don't have a problem with.

Also no offence but saying things like answer the kyc or launder your drug money elsewhere makes you sound as bad as the people who say btc is just for drugs and other nefarious activities.

There are plenty of reasons not to want to go through the over intrusive procedure they are now carrying out. For some it just goes against their principles which no one can argue with as it's their opinion. also I think one of the big things and what made me not want to send them copies of bank statement etc is if companies like eBay and Adobe can't keep personal info safe why are people going to send passport scans and bank statement to a third party bitcoin exchange? I bet some of the people who sent sensitive info into gox are pretty unhappy about their data being stolen now in hindsight.

I don't see how people can not call it morally wrong when none of this is in the tos and can be prune upon you st any time. Now if you have made a trade and are trying to withdraw fiat, you have two options either jump through whatever hoops to get your withdrawal or buy back the coins maybe at a loss. Those shouldn't be the choices it should be laid out that they are doing it anf giving everyone fair chance to make their own decision.

Yeah Shamu this time

Yes their general questionnaire has but this is new so slightly different and nothing like anything else any other broker in the world would do. Asking for proof of funds including signing of personal Bitcoin addresses is imo too far and totally unnecessary particularly with you only finding out about them after you have sold. People can have a variety of legitimate reasons for not wanting to send bank statements and other personal docs to Stamp. Just look at adobe and ebay for examples, in fact just look at gox. There is plenty of reasons to not want to go through that procedure, which until they cite some sort of law or guidelines is them stabbing in the dark at what is really required.

Yes, no doubt you have been mining to that address? You need to send smaller amounts due to all the inputs making the transaction size large.

You should get around 2 MRO a day depending on luck according to the bot. Are you making less than that? The problem with it is a block is 16 ish atm so if you should be getting 2 MRO a day that means you should find a block at some point in the next 8 days. The problem with that again is that in the next 4 days it could get harder so the estimated time to find a block increases and so on until you never actually find one. Its a lot luck based as well though.

Well technically anytime you do any trading of alts ,payments for e goods from member, donations etc you are sending money abroad that you wouldn't already be able to do easily

There are zero reasons to assume Bitstamp is insolvent.

What is happening though is a rather over zealous KYC/AML policy which asks rather probing questions such as proof of funds. This in itself is not a problem IF its in the TOS and people can expect it.

Whats not okay is people selling coins thinking they are verified (it even tells you on your account you are verified) and then having their funds held hostage until they pass all the procedures.

Overall its just about making things clearer but they are likely just covering their ass. Naturally people jump way far ahead of themselves and start making wild presumptions.

No worries.

Have you synced the block chain yet/ is your wallet open? If not follow this guide http://www.monero.cc/getting-started/index.html#monero-install-1

This shows you the batch file you need to run to open the wallet and sync the block chain.(Im guessing you've probably done this though as you have your address)

Then to check you balance, within the simple wallet window type refresh and the wallet will sync and show your coins.

Likely it will never be proved or disproved as even though you could theoretically prove it was from inside Gox you can't prove they were operating them or knew.
