When we have something wonderful to promote... Believe Me... I do know how to get the Press' attention. But we don't. We're not ready. The Press shows up when there is something newsworthy.... like ants at a picnic.
But we don't. Then stop deceiving the public with claims like this one: And the ANNOUNCEMENTS that are going to happen on Saturday..... The Bitcoin World will be a-buzz.....
We decided for sure last night. OnlyOneTV will be making a HUGE HUGE HUGE announcement at the Conference. One you're all gonna be VERY excited about... when you hear it. I can't say now. It's a surprise. But I will say it during my opening speech on Saturday morning. :-)
Actually, we'll be announcing another super exciting thing at the Conference too. I'm not really sure which one more people will be excited about. Probably Both. Both of these things will change the Bitcoin world immediately!
Oh, and those are only my OWN announcements... I'm also privy to some major announcements to be made at the Conference by major vendors also. They're gonna Rock your World too!!
And now comes this: What WILL come..... as a direct result of this Conference.... is going to blow YOUR minds..... and knock your alpaca socks off!
.......much sooner than you think!

I vote that you remove airline ticket (via proxy) as one could include every single thing purchased in $ etc (which is what the ticket was bought with) just when one sells/converts BTC to do so like on an exchange first, I gave someone some BTC & they used their $ credit card to buy me XYZ = a non event
He could though get an important first & for the same thread: First person to be refused entry to the US because of Bitcoins

a valuable lesson (sorry that you had to learn it the hard way) - do not even mention bitcoins to any customs/immigration/border officers, if you don't have any ATM or credit/debit cards at all then definitely seems to be worth getting hold of one before travelling, plus they are useful anyway when abroad for local funds & better than hundreds of dollars in cash which also may look a little suspect (?), or at the very least get a pre-paid VISA card charged up with some $s, easy enough to buy one online with BTC too & maybe it'd be treated as a regular VISA charge card by those vetting you
if bitcoins aren't (yet) on the entry database as undesirable, possession/use/promotion of, then a quick search (which they will do of course) would show them first hitting the mainstream news by being linked to/facilitating Silk road's exotic market place, exactly not what is going to get you fast tracked in to any anti piracy drugs war country, perhaps esp as the original SR historically links to China

I expect that they'll be some news on this at the W/E bitcon, we're not there yet & the best is to make your own if you plan on long term as mentioned above: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=36663.0Bootable USB drive for bitcoin wallet with LinuxCoin & the Bitcoin software is already installed Any time you import Bitcoins from a private key into the current Satoshi client and spend less than all of them, you should spend the rest to new addresses, or at least back-up the wallet.dat. This is because the portion you didn't spend (the change) gets sent to a brand new address that exists only in wallet.dat, and will be lost if you don't keep it safe. Personally I use Mt.Gox with their Yubikey to hold my BTC atm, my password is on lastpass premium also with a Yubikey & a dedicated gmail address just for password resets/retrievals that has gmail's double authentication with my cell or home phone Though I imagine it'll be the Silkroad that's realing your other 5 coins in before tooo long... |

a fine thread, many thanks to the contributers, just read through it all in one sitting & will continue to follow now with interest Re: Gold: I smell a trapthat recent run from around $1500 to about $1800 was some bear trap  http://www.the-privateer.com/chart/gold-pf.html |

If I understood correctly then one doesn't need to refresh the page (multiple times) to see the blooming flower, it will show up when it changes if the page is just left open?
If so good to say this on the page perhaps...

I'd like if you could also show a small animated clock with the current CDT date & time or just have time left to end of day & if the flower had opened as yet in that 24 hr period Also a different favicon than the forum's, say of your flower opened (or not): http://www.favicon.cc/Nice concept, I'm looking forward to seeing how it evolves |

... I assume you take the same stand on banks and credit cards, right?
In my case that is a very safe assumption.

MtGox being uselessYour request (#XXXX) has been received, and will be reviewed by our support staff. Our help desk is experiencing unusually high traffic currently. We regret to inform you that you will experience some delays (currently 48-72 hrs) in us getting back to you. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and are working on all fronts to improve our response times. To review the status of the request and add additional comments, follow the link below: http://support.mtgox.com/tickets/XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX, Aug-09 00:21 (JST): hi I sent GBP XXXX credit to your UK bank account from mine, requested yesterday, it should not have taken more than 2 hrs, please let me know if you have received it as yet, btw Britcoin.com can do this in under 2 hrs & they're a tiny exchange in comparison many thanks ID: XXXXXXXXXXX I think the issue is you wiring bank funds to Mt. Gox, which is historically useless. I was almost hoping the next post would be that you lost your money, so it would be one more reason to steer people away from them. Well thanks BCM for your almost kind wishes, it wasn't exactly a bank wire but an free Internet banking transfer within the UK - these normally are great & take under 2 hours to show (ie at Britcoin.co.uk), MtGox couldn't locate my funds for over 2 days even having the date sent, amount, my full name, my MtGox ref number on it, they just faffed around while their offer of reduced fees lapsed & the BTC price rose, how hard is it to do a simple search - unbelievable! Anyway eventually the funds were credited at a good exchange rate & after more prodding they replied: As for the reason why it took two days, it was because we had to process this manually for the time being according to the Barclay's system. However, we are making every effort to get the funds deposited faster into the Mt.Gox accounts.
We also have plans on making the UK withdrawals possible to facilitate our UK customers and will let our users know once it becomes available. Thank you for your patience and continued support. Today they sent me a code for a free MtGox Yubi key which I've now ordered, it can only be used with their service just as the regular Yubikey can not be used there, but still useful & a nice gesture, plus what with their rescue of the Polish exchange & clients they do seem to be improving generally so lets give them a chance |

OK still haven't had a response from MtGox but they have auto-advised that the funds have just now been credited & exchanged from GBP in to $ at an excellent exchange rate $1.63675 which is better than XE.com are showing $1.620 & better still than XE-Trade's transfer rate, so good that's good even if they did take a couple of days - I'll edit to say why this was when they let me know...

holding out for gold OUNCE parity   that'd be nice, assuming gold keeps pwning the fiats as it's being doing Re: The BTC community could just agree to shift the decimal point, not so, a bitcoin is a unit - there will be 21 million of them eventually less the many that become irretrievable due to lost private keys etc, they can be divided by the 8 decimal points but those are always going to be fractions of a BTC just as a unit of 10 or 100 BTC will be just that also, so it is not arbitrary & charting it's historical unit price against gold, dollars & other fiats is the true reflection of it's worth |

I just checked #bitcoin-market, and I still see a big difference between a bitcoin and a buck. About $6.50 difference in fact.
We should be celebrating still, as we not only are still in the act of breaking the dollar parity barrier but also various other currency's units parity barriers. Which national currencies are worth more than 1 bitcoin per 1 of their main unit currently?
Meh. That is pretty much just a matter of convention and history. The value of a unit of currency isn't a real thing on an objective scale, it is just a sort of meaningless number. Since it doesn't mean anything, it could just as well have been any other number. If everyone woke up tomorrow the dollar was worth 10 times as much, with all prices and records (including memories) adjusted appropriately, you'd never notice the difference. In the same way, if the block generation reward was 500 BTC, coins would be worth 73 cents right now. And we would never know the difference. Yep agreed, it means nothing but there is a psychological effect I'd imagine, just for interest the highest value currency units can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highest-valued_currency_unitthe highest being the Kuwaiti dinar at $3.64 per unit, or if BTC is about $8.30 atm then they're worth 2.28 dinars each & if BTC were listed as a currency unit on that Wiki they would top the list I find of interest the BTC price in $ gold grams which at $53.48 / gram gives a BTC value of 0.155 gold grams, it's bubble peak of $30 against roughly $50/gm for gold giving it's max so far at around 0.6 of a gold gram, if one day it gets parity against the steadily rising gold price per gram in dollars that will be a major milestone & very newsworthy |

when BTC hit the main stream media, the silkroad news, a lot of newbs pilled in & prob a few very big players (VBPs) too I'm guessing - the sort who would pump & dump, try & manipulate the relatively small BTC exchanges by being able to move very large amounts in & out as they choose
when Mt.Gox had it's time out probelms this must have been very stessfull for any of the VBPs who would certainly hold super large positions there, I doubt that they would have been naive enough to also use the MBC wallet & we have yet to hear just how many BTC were stolen through there last week & are now being liquidated at any price (it's all profit anyway for them & these peeps will likely move to cash asap - it's not like they are going to have too much faith in BTC ongoing except as an easy pickings to plunder) & this lack of info leads to great downside uncertainty as others cash out more & more the longer this now inside info is held back
with the recent general economy financial market losses & uncertainty some of the VBPs may choose or need to liquidate something to cover losses elsewhere or to take up volatility oportunities now, what's first choice to liquidate but those pesky BTC holdings, especially if they've already done nicely driving them up & dumping them back down again?
many of the newbs may be cooling to thier BTC holdings as they see all the recent news, reaslise it's damn hard for the average non geek atm to keep them securly, plus they're worth a lot less since that influx so any they held are well down
I was one of the SR news newbs though only started to buy this week, mostly orders being met today through britcoin.co.uk which has Internet banking transfers cleared in under 2 hrs & hopefully very soon I will be doing the same through Mt.Gox too (crosses many fingers with that) which accept the same fast UK transfers in but don't provide that service out - as I intend to hold the BTCs (away from all exchanges) that's no prob & I can always transfer them to sell at Britcoin if I wished to cash out in GBP fast
anyway just some look at what a new entry guy is doing here in BTC world atm, I would really like to build up a nice numeric stash of these virtual items & right now seems like a good time to be doing it, other than that I've been 100% in gold since March 2007 with silver too & other precious metal collectables from 2002 onwards - I hope that I can still spot a winner & a good vehicle to bet against the sure fire fiat fiascos out there
edited a couple/few times for typos - more clarity, nothing major...

Someone was kind enough to give me an invite so I am returning the favor for the first 3 peeps (you need to have made a few prior forum posts over the previous week or 2) who post here to claim, then PM me with an email address that you'd like the invite sent to - no rush for this as I'll be on & off for the next 12 hrs, sorry only the first 3 to post here - any other PMs will be ignored so pse check if they've gone first, thanks

Side note: Any chance you might start producing "undenominated" BitBills too? Ones that come with no coins sent to the address, which the owner loads himself (as much as he wants, as often as he wants)? Might even be labelled a "Savings BitBill" or "User-Loaded BitBill" or something so as not to be confused with pre-loaded BitBills. I'd personally buy a few of those as well. +1 BitBill Vault, pic on card like http://lot.my/image/cache/5833-295-kitco%20coin%20r%202010-120x120.jpgBitBill Dragon Hoard, pic like http://dpcrandall.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/smaug.jpg?w=389&h=287Titanium card - loaded with 210 BTC (add cost of material) Gold card - loaded with 2,100 BTC & made of 24K gold (add 1 Oz for cost of material +/- $1,500) The thousanth card - loaded with 21,000 BTC (made out of anything you darn well like) - loaded with 0.001% of max total BTC ever to be issued Yeh! My first Bitcoins came through, well 0.001 BTC from the faucet http://freebitcoins.appspot.com/http://blockexplorer.com/address/14g6J4q4ccSMc5rCe24djmgPdybZaFrm1EPut your address above to see yours, takes a few hours to show from the faucet's feed Happy Summer Solstice y'all |
