I am sorry for that negative experience but some of these critic points are beyond my power. I hope you understand.
I tried to sell 10 somewhat items. Most starting at 1ct. I sold 3 items. One went smooth without any chit-chat. One took ages to get the address and now he doesn't confirm to have received the package that DHL tracked to his door. (And no, he did not rate me neither. And no, I don't intend to write more messages. I already sent him 4 + 1 system message.) One totally ignored that he won the auction. All not your fault but also all not making me sell more. As a buyer I see people that look like scams also and most offers have a high starting price so I wouldn't hope for a bargain neither. |

It's raw dumps of the JSON API (complete with occasional error messages and empty files) with PST timestamps in the filenames. It's about 5G raw, 33M compressed. Be careful extracting it: some filesystems get really slow if you put a quarter million files in one dir. http://www.mediafire.com/file/u1goocu36ng65kp/mtgox.7zRevalin thanx a lot! I can't promise to bring results soon but I will see what I can do. At least it is a big incentive to come up with something to have such nice data at hands  |

My satisfaction is below average  Sold some stuff and people ignored that they won the auctions. They should have a time limit to provide an address and pay the money in order to not get flagged as unresponsive or something. I'm not an ebayer so i have no idea how they handle things like that. Another buyer received the goods and didn't unlock the money or confirm he did receive one week after DHL reported the delivery. I requested the release of the BTC now but that takes 2 weeks. |

Nice! It's the same idea with a little different approach that I've tried a bunch of times:  I have per-minute snapshots of the data since July. There are a bunch of gaps in the data so you have to be careful or you'll get time jumps, and it's just the public API so it's just a narrow window around the current price. If that's still good enough to be interesting to you, you're welcome to a copy of what I have. The only price is that I want to see more awesome pictures, especially around interesting events. That sounds like a great offer! It's a huge data set. Did you ever zip it? Do you have all the raw data like timestamp+values? I don't as my normalization already destroyed most of the data but with all the data I'd like to try and render a fly through that canyon with maybe some landmarks for events in bitcoins history. I guess there is quite some challenge to get the data into some rendering software. A height field of about 300k samples of a price range of 1$ to 20$ at a 1ct. granularity and a 16bit precision for each accumulated value. Most rendering tools allow to import height fields as gray scale pictures. This one would be 300k x 2k x 2B = 1.2GB. Guess that is challenging also as the 2B/pixel is non-standard but necessary imho. |

Hi I've been wondering if the exchange rate follows the market depth or if the market depth follows to the exchange rate. Actually looking at the market depth I often get the feeling to know how the rate has to change in a very near future and often it does but by far not always. To analyze further I searched for sources of historic market depth but couldn't find any, so I wrote a small script that draws the MtGox market depth - the one that is available via their api - the one that is only a small fraction of the total market depth - into a png. As the market depth sometimes is 5 times bigger than at other times, I normalized each line by the highest value and used a pallet of 1024 values (4 times a black blue gradient). The result for some days but with a longer pause at some point and without any time stamps is here:  Now I wonder if anybody has a more complete historic market depth. I would like to render a Bitcoin Market Depth Canyon fly through or whatever works better than the above. |

LukeJr had an argument pro pool that I did not share and he's too religious about his point but I don't like Gavin's way of making propaganda against him talking about poisonous people neither. May the best solution win. Not the best propaganda. Screw a month delay.

Pick a BIP and let's roll.
Good idea! Should we flip a coin? |

Hi,
I've been following the Bitcoin100 quite some time now and somehow it feels like it lost inertia? In the original post there is no link to a website despite the length of the thread and the money that went into this venture. No success with the organisations that were contacted, etc.
It has been brought up before: Iran had 100% inflation in one month now. Charities in Iran that hold their money in IRR must be crazy. They can not hold USD neither due to the embargo. As there is not much BTC in Iran by now, they can not easily convert their IRR to BTC but they should have supporters abroad that can convert their €, $ or ¥ to BTC and send them there. Why would the red cross care about BTC? They know that no normal person would go the difficult way to convert $$ to BTC to send them ... well ... $$. In Iran there is a very good reason store value in BTC.
Also I doubt anybody would worry to get fiat for BTC in Iran.

I also would like to support the call for full transparency.
I'm most interested in the actual liquidity. How many USD and how many BTC are there on the exchange. As long as users don't brag about being the biggest fish in the pool, disclosing the distribution over the user base would not be a privacy issue neither. I would trade differently knowing to be played by one big player than when I know I am among the top 10% regarding my liquidity.
If you don't disclose full liquidity in user accounts (as one total for each BTC and USD or a sorted list by smallest to biggest stash), please at least disclose full market depth in real time.

I read it again and again but I don't understand it: In the mean time, people who understand this (including outsider observers looking for an easy way to profit off this market) will make lots of money adding stability. How is Bitcoinica a tool that gives a monetary incentive to add stability? Or did I get you wrong? Also I often read the hope that once we have much more trade volume over at Gox, the price will fluctuate less. Forex trades T$/d. We are at 100k$/d. Even G$/d would be peanuts for big forex traders. They would still play the market. |

Luckily PulpSpy meanwhile took out some speculations on how all the voters use bitcoins to vote in his concept. As a very radical enemy of voting machines I still have to answer to this one: Voting MUST be anonymous and you must be able to prove our assigned ID is unique (but not linked to you which defeats anonymity).
Both can be accomplished with digital signatures.
Imagine a two part system
Verification & Public Key Creation
Voter verifies identity and is given a smart card. He uses a terminal which verifies his voter ID and generates a 128 bit nonce. The hash of voter ID and nonce is the private key. The terminal could then print this nonce out or provide it as a QR code. The terminal generates a public key from this private key. The smart card is loaded with public key.
Voting & Vote Counting
User inserts smartcard, and votes. The voting record is digitally signed by public key and added to vote log (which is made public via a website). Later voter can use his private key to ensure that vote is in vote log and hasn't been modified. How can I be sure there is not Dummy1 through Dummy1000000000 that the above mentioned machine assigns the right to vote, too? I see no way to allow purely digital voting that I would vouch for. The voter has to understand the process and be able to verify the process end to end with no idea of hardware and software. |

How will using the blockchain but not bitcoins themselves change the value of the coins?
Or do you mean bitcoin as a technology ?
If bitcoin was used as a standard tool at the heart of democracy as part of its voting process by any bigger country, this would give it a ton of trust. This country could not just outlaw bitcoin over 13 guns being sold over at the silk road. |

I don't do vanity addresses with holograms, sorry.
If I am in the process of generating a batch of addresses, I'd allow selection of the addresses from my batch. Remember, these use 30-character Minikey, which there is no way to vanitygen quickly like full keys (other than for selecting maybe three or four characters). It is difficult to fit 51 characters in the space allotted on my coins.
The way I do these, is I format a blank hard drive, install a fresh OS, securely generate a large number of addresses, print them, and then trash the drive. I believe it's reckless to do anything less. Then I laser cut the circles and put them in jars according to what kind of coin they'll go on.
Once the laser circles are cut and put in jars, it's practically impossible to find a specific circle, the jars are full of circles mixed as randomly as a bingo ball machine (but with thousands of balls!). (One repurposed Nutella jar I use for 1BTC circles seems to hold about 12,000 circles). If I know to pick a circle out before I cut them and mix them, that would be different. But now it's too late, I have enough private keys to last me a long time and I have no plans to generate new ones any time soon.
rocket science i love it ... |

To get more trust for pools, I wished the miners would get a copy of what they actually try to sign. Today it would be possible that pool A mines for pool B for the shares never actually mining a block for them essentially only costing B's money. If A would also send a copy of the block to be signed to the miner, the miner could broadcast the block himself to stop such attacks. He could also refuse to mine blocks without transactions etc ...
Why do miners sign stuff they are not allowed to read? You only see what you signed once it shows up in the block chain but if you happened to mine for some alt chain, you will not even be aware you publicly signed something.

Excuse my dumb question, but is a protocol imaginable that makes solo-mining as worthwhile as mining today in a pool by rewarding with much smaller blocks?
the shorter the blocks the more the miner suffers from getting the latest block delayed. i know how users of a service i worked at regularly reported bugs. it turned out that we decided that 1 minute old messages will not be fetched by the clients anymore and deleted them but the ping times in tibet were regularly over 30s with frequent delays of over 60s. now add download time with a slow connection and you will have half the world that would not participate in mining if the blocks were 1/minute. but you ask if a system would be imaginable. yes, it would. (proof me wrong  ) |

oh i so much hope amazon will not get angry over people/plugins messing with their payment process. I was thinking about a plugin adding bitcoin as a payment option to all these pages but it was too obvious to me that this might get me into legal trouble. crossing fingers for you |
