Just read about a new exchange in Colombia where the BTC was last traded for 9471COP which seams to be 5.21USD. At https://btcchina.com/ the BTC recently peaked at 5.67USD. Does anybody have a chart of exchange rates in USD for non-USD-exchanges? Probably a good time to buy on Gox, then. Euros are on their way. How long may it take? It's 4 days already. The last 2 times I had to message the support to get it charged but I can't believe this is standard. |

ah! the site could be more fun. Why the artificial limit of betting 0.1? Now most bets have really low numbers which makes it hard to bet. I understand that you don't want to have micro-bets but for now I guess they would help a lot. Let me give an example: There is 0.2 in bets pro Facebook climbing above 35$ and 1.5 against. The betters put chances at 2/(15+2)=12%. If I say chances are higher, I might want to put my money with the statement but doing so would man I see facebooks chances at 3/(15+3)=17%. Sorry I don't feel that confident but I would chip in 0.05 for the chance of getting 0.3BTC=1.5$. This would again attract the pessimists which would make me more confident to put in more … and in the end, we all pay more  With all the bets starting at 0.1BTC this is even worse as going with the inital better would mean shifting chances by 100%. While I see no problem in smaller bets, I guess the essential part is that the submitter should bet at least 10x the limit for subsequent bets. With 0.1BTC as is that would be 1BTC for the initial submitter or as I would prefer it, 0.01 for subsequent betters. Feature request: Print the balance in % as in my example |

... oh, and people complaining about the streaming quality in the chat is not really good advertisement neither Better do a recording of people tipping 10 BTC |

Oh yeah I guess to the limit of youtube's TOS with the right buzz words and a link to cam4btc this could generate some traffic ... but for now the link is missing. |

Great site. My bet doesn't work as expected though. I want to create a bet with event date August 1st and betting deadline June 15th. Why doesn't it let me do that? I get some disappearing change-month-buttons on the deadline when I pick the event date so the earliest deadline I can define is July 4th. Huh? If there is any rule, why not allow me to pick any date but show an error explaining what's wrong for dates that are off limit?
We strongly discourage very long wait times between bet deadline and event date. To enforce this interface does not allow anything more than 4 weeks. If you need more for a particular reason let us know in email or put a note in the item description and we will fix it for you before approval. Ok, of course you may put rules in place as you please but this one doesn't seam appropriate and the interface appeared to be just broken instead of telling me what's going on. I don't want people to bet on something that they know the outcome and I don't want the chance for the event to be too low, so how should I do an earthquake bet? I want to bet on a future event and the earthquake has to occur after the betting deadline and before the event date. So why again would you want this time span to be short? You have bets that end in 2015 and I don't want to trap my money until 2015 which is why I would never bet on these but 2 months of wait for an earthquake is nothing compared to that. Thinking about timing, I guess what I would enforce is a long betting window. If the event date is after tomorrow I can put a deadline of tomorrow. How many betters do such bets get on average? Sure you get your submission fee but is it worth to approve a bet that nobody sees in time to bet on it? |

I read "geo stationary" somehwere. Wouldn't it be even better to orbit the planet so people in one censored state get their transactions processed at one hour while in other such funny states at other hours?
Also if this machine is meant for any real purpose other than just for the fun of it, I don't see room for hashing other than a symbolic FPGA from our biggest sponsor.

I have no idea what you guys have been smoking there altogether. ... hmm ... thinking of it ... yeah, maybe that could work. 11M$ for getting the satellite up? Cool, that's only 1/3 of the bitcoin market cap. I would be in with 1BTC, too  |

Instead of withdrawing winnings though, I find myself using those towards additional wagers. And because there are many new bets all the time, I am depositing more pretty regularly, so my "Balance in Bets" keeps growing: - http://betsofbitco.in/profileI wonder if that is typical use. Haha It is all over in all gambling sites I guess. Money you won is money you are "allowed" to loose without a bad conscience. |

You seem to have those libs uptodate, hmm, are you using the "daemon" or the "qt" desktop version ?
I started bin/32/bitcoind -daemon. Anyway shouldn't if at all the daemon be faster than the X version and not the inverse? Here people seam to be talking of having a lightning fast 30 minutes wait for the qt version. |

Can you post which CLI-commands could help finding the cause?
It's a 2.6.18 i686 linux virtual server but 50x the startup time is a bit crazy still.
a bit off topic but yeah #apt-get install apt-show-versions
#apt-show-versions |grep libdb4.8 You want to look for ver. +4.8.24, if it doesn't show up at all look for a way to upgrade your distro especially the Berkeley libs. Thanx. If my concern of the client taking one day to start is the topic, I don't see how finding the reason is off-topic. $ apt-show-versions |grep libdb4.8
libdb4.8/squeeze uptodate 4.8.30-2
libdb4.8-dev/squeeze uptodate 4.8.30-2 |

your DB libs could be out of date, dunno just saying. I've tested it a few times on various ubuntu machines and it has completed the blockchain download in the same amount of time ~30-40 minutes.

have you tried 6.2? it downloaded all blocks for me in about 20/30 mins yesterday
Hmm ... then what is wrong??? Looks well connected (17) latest version (60200) but it's almost 24h now and not done yet. "top" shows me spikes of 10% CPU load every some seconds. It's a server, so bandwidth should not be a problem. "version" : 60200,
"protocolversion" : 60001,
"walletversion" : 60000,
"balance" : 0.00000000,
"blocks" : 179920,
"connections" : 17,
"proxy" : "",
"difficulty" : 1733207.51384839,
"testnet" : false,
"keypoololdest" : 1338085668,
"keypoolsize" : 101,
"paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
"errors" : ""
 hope it is more responsive once the blockchain is downloaded so i can at least go into beta without putting much effort into setting up a faster client. Was so happy with the ease of the api but speed is really an issue now. |

Yesterday I started developing an instawallet/faucet/don't know yet service and started a bitcoind on my server. I expect it to take more than 24h to download the blockchain. This you can not explain to new users easily. Don't get me wrong, the full client is the backbone of bitcoin and should run on as many nodes as possible but I guess it is repelling to install a software that takes 24h to finish. Worse than Windows. As a new user with no idea whatsoever, I would not pick Electrum from this list but I think it should be suggested if it is what I think it is. I didn't try it myself yet Which clients are you suggesting to new users? |

Most of us do not check our e-mail for thread updates. We just click on "Show new replies to your posts.
That's fine, but "notify" allows for the same functionality for you but without the disappointment for the rest of us of "great! more good stuff to read... aw shit, just a subber". gnah! This forum sux big time. If I want to quickly see where I have to read up, /sub is the best way I know of. Complaining about a /sub, causing a big meta-discussion is pure trolling. Anybody who does /sub, please keep doing it. If there is a 100% replacement for that, please mods enforce its usage by forbidding /subbers pointing them to how to do it silently. ... enough troll feeding for today ... In the streets of Beijing you can get Bittcoins for half the price, and you almost can't tell the difference….
LOL ))) If it really becomes a super big issue getting BTC to China I bet the Chinese community abroad that wants to send money home will realize they get 1.5$ per $ when going through BTC and quickly solve the problem. |

May I ask you to put at least the information that can be found in this thread also on instawallet.org? I would find it appropriate to see more than just an email address that doesn't even specify if it's the admin, the owner or his uncle's friend. "An original idea by Jan Vornberger" pretty clearly indicates that Jan is not taking any responsibility, so who does?

all seemed to start from memorydealers recent presentation in China, this new 10 times previous normal volumes is probably the second wave of awareness & opportunity interest spreading out from that, exponentially hopefully
Has anyone run the analysis to figure out if BTC moving through this market participant has an average level of taint? I mean, another thing which happened fairly recently is that a decent size haul was made at the expense of Bitcoinica after all. The implication being that... someone stole a bunch of coins and then bought more coins on a chinese exchange? lol aka with prices going way up beyond the US prices, this was not cheap coins dumped. |

slightly too "educative" for my taste of an easy read. When the author invites you to follow some link twice per page, this gets kind of annoying. Instead of "on blabla.org/blabla/bla.html I found bla" I would prefer "I read bla" with a footnote that bla really exists or even more literary freedom on those references making them more exciting and an annex talking about all the actual sources. Reading the author is totally into one real thing that I don't like makes it harder to sympathize when he's into another thing I actually like Still I got to page 28 |

uhm ... now in chromium@linux64 I get a channel listing but still have the problem that i can't allow/deny the peer-assist thing - unless I open the flash settings before getting asked. So for me it works but ... it's not trivial.
In FF I get it running by clearing the cache (browsing to cam4btc?bla=fu).
