Set up a market stall in the main souk of downtown Tehran for trading any fiat currencies & shit for BTC"Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same. Every wonderful sight will vanish, every sweet word will fade, But do not be disheartened, The source they come from is eternal, growing, Branching out, giving new life and new joy. Why do you weep? The source is within you And this whole world is springing up from it.” ~Mawlana Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balhi 1207 AD (AKA Rumi, master Persian poet and proto-founder of the Sufi Order of the Whirling Dervishes).  ^ pots filled with casascius physical bitcoins for barter

So we all up for another great day of trading? I must say Bitcoin is looking very very healthy these days  I predict we will kick over $7 in the next 24 hours and I that the price will double within a month or 2. It's all looking very very good. quite It's Elementary my dear OmMeaning The supposed explanation that Sherlock Holmes gave to his assistant, Dr. Watson, when explaining deductions he had made.

He also says "Exactly, my dear Watson, in three different stories: "All In Vane" "The Zhou Tong Trials" & "The Casascius Case" plus not forgetting that classic best selling (or at least, most hyped) "The Nonse of New York" featuring the villainous smooth talking con artist Bruce De Williams whose latest japes include trying to occupy your bitcoins & < 21 Pattaya orifices @ Zukini Zucchini Zuccotti Park, NYC The phrase was first used by P.

the whole rest of the screen could flash another colour at the same time for this - it's because what confuses me is that it flashes both one's high & low prices when only one of these has been met & whilst the colour shows wether it's the high or low I'm not used to just getting that yet thanks for ur 2 btcs, thank goodness that there're not flashing  |

I had some high $ value BTC sales booked on Gox & recently withdrew the BTC behind them to Bitcoinica for margin padding, the orders are still listed but say insufficient funds or something which I expect also removes them from Gox Live's chart, once I return the funds I expect them to become live again

I like the flashing green & red columns but would prefer just the relevant high or low price being made to flash rather than everything on each side top to bottom  to something like this instead:  |

Yea, the movements are very strange. Some people are making untypical decisions in there, and they all seem to be in a hurry.
As far as the seemingly impatient falls, I figure is that someone - perhaps a vendor? - has placed a huge sell order at $1 with no btc in MtGox account, and whenever new bitcoins arrive, they are immediately sold, regardless of market depth charts. In fact, I would expect this to be a usual setup for vendors who just want their USD and don't care about speculating. As far as the sharp rises, my best guess is that someone wants to buy lots of BTC, and has seen that huge buys aren't the most economical way to buy into BTC. So, they had someone make a bot that buys a random amount at random intervals, against disregarding the market depth. Pure speculation, Occam's Razor style, but it makes more sense to me than thinking player(s) are being irrational. perhaps Tom Williams as another thread reports recent movements of long dormant BTC from old Mybitcoin addresses there |

yes agreed, as I'd already posted on his thread about this just a couple of hours ago https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=57291.msg687845#msg687845even a 3 random chars drop down input for secondary verification from a long memorable phrase or paper hard copy of random chars would be good & easy enough to implement I'd imagine because in order to get maximum protection from a zhoutonging it's tempting to park a large portion of one's BTC holdings there atm rather than say at Goxed or in one's own secure storage wallet/coded key in the cloud ... PS I thought it was Australian girls atm btw |

lol yes, though whoever sold him his SR coke sent him rather different sugary looking crystals or looks like they stepped heavily on it with sugar at least

Request to Khou, could you implement Yubi keys or some other form of secondary verification on Bitcoinica pse, even an opt in drop down input of 3 chars from a long memorable phrase would be good

back up a few minutes ago  wish that the price was too though  maybe it fell due to this Redis outage  |
|
|

a Question for the pros here.
Will this stop execute if the price goes up to 7.2 or higher?
151130 BTCUSD Stop 3.0 $7.2000 less than a minute ago ACTIVE Cancel
151131 BTCUSD Stop 2.0 $7.2000 less than a minute ago ACTIVE Cancel
I am currently on a short for 5 Coins. So this should safe me from being broke after I wake up, right?
yes, I believe that will close out your short position of 5 coins if & when the bitcoinica buy price reaches $7.20 or > but I haven't tried this out as yet so am not 100% EDIT: also I don't know how bitcoinica's Redis server going down would affect any stop orders that you'd placed if your stop price was hit during this outage |

you might like to take a look at kitco's app, it would be fab to have something similar for bitcoins (I requested it a while back) & if combined with your alarm function would be a big winner, also this alarm function ability if added to kitco's app would be very, very popular with their clients I'd imagine & perhaps they'd buy/lease the coding from you? http://applications.kitco.com/supportcenter/taskbar/index.htmltaskbar Bcast ftw |

cool as & no rush for any tweaks as it's fab as it is Danke Danke schön Vielen Dank Dank dir Dankschen Danksche Dank schön Dankë Dank schön Merci Merci villmahl thanks |

Made a very little update:
- changed the default back to more useful 10 Seconds
- changed the Bear-Sound to a newer one
- a little bug fix inside the code
cool, my preference would be to have the sounds on by default & for peeps to silence them with a click X if they wanted silent/just visual mode otherwise one may think one has set up an audio alert when one didn't, but I'm used to checking that now so whatever works for the majority is fine by me & later on options to choose an alarm type sound like the NE NE NE NE kinda sound of a intruder security zone breach, maybe there's something here? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alarms_on_submarinesedit: the klaxon for Dive Dive would be cool to have to set for big price plunges edit: Star Trek Red Alertedit: Industrial Alarmthis to be available for high or low as a red danger warning on your long or short positions say, for margin calls, incoming zhoutongs etc & some particularly ebil sound for when the BTC price has given you a thorough zhoutonging - perhaps an ironic evil laugh or mocking then for a 'money rung up on the cash till (registrar)' bling type sound for when you wish to just know that your position has made a nice few pips up or perhaps a bundle, also maybe a phew! sound to set for when your position on Bitcoinica has finally eaten the spread & gone in to the green at last anyway - fab app! erci villmahl |

personally I prefer for a laid back approach to promoting bitcoins, too 'in your face' just comes across as needy or a scam & catching really big fish's interest may not be in bitcoins interests just atm (think great white sharks), we already have our regular (almost feels like 'in house') manipulator & probably don't need a bunch more yet (better the mani you know &ct.), also even though I know one billionaire (indirectly & not well but could easily give a presentation to) & have known several multi miliioners I would much rather accumulate more of a stash myself over the next few years than try to jump the price up by getting them & their mates interested though I heavily rave to acquaintances with a market cap of < 1M £€$

The rich already have their swiss bank accounts, tax consultancy services, good investment opportunities etc. Bitcoin offers nothing for them.
Hey rich dude who is doing all this work to hide money... Buy this untraceable asset. You can even use it to buy and sell things among your friends to avoid tax events. Sell them that company at a loss for $1000 dollars, and have them give you 1M BTC on the side for it, then buy that yacht in btc, and pay the guy in BTC to avoid taxes. Have a congressmen to buy off? Don't bother with an envelope of cash, give him the slip from a fortune cookie, and let him know that the hash of it is a private key that will set him up for life. Then pay your corrupt tax attorney in BTC so he doesn't have to claim it either. Worried about storing all of your money in some off shore account. No worries, you can keep it in a thumb drive. Or better yet, a deterministic wallet seeded with the name of your favorite race horse. Watch the IRS try to seize that. Need to get some coke to keep the party going at your mansion... yeah that was the first thing we took care of (after the alpaca socks and the coffee)
Bitcoin, for people that know that fiat is for plebs. all ^ lols pictures billionaire sporting alpaca socks & stirring a tea spoon full of coke in to their coffee next to a large pile of BTC 1,000 gold Casascius coins |

& that'd make the prize total up to $2,000 or $4,000 if Zhou were to play & pick both winning dates, yikes! *quickly buys 50 more BTC @ < $7*

As far as good investment opportunities go, the "rich" care more about preservation of capital than about explosive growth. Thus, if the Bitcoin price stabilizes or grows steadily against USD, and if USD experiences moderate to heavy inflation, then Bitcoin might look very good. This is assuming that the exchanges / OTC markets can handle a large influx of capital -- on the order of ~$1B. Right now on MtGox, if I were to spend $1M, I would buy up the order book from 6.75 all the way to ~$15, leaving a potential gap straight back down to 6.75 (and an instant loss of ~50% of my value). ... I wonder if some family offices or the personal kidnap insurance providers/negotiators have started to build up $M floats as yet for just such an eventuality of needing 1 $M of BTC on hand in a big hurry |
