WOW. Das war mal wieder der höchste Sprung ever. Was für ein Powernetz.
Wie geil. Es will nicht aufhören zu wachsen. Bin sehr glücklich darüber. Bitcoin wird erwachsen. Bitcoin is here to stay !
..da interpretierst du aber eine Menge in die nackte Hashrate. Die Hashrate wächst aus überwiegend finanziellen Interessen. Und daher ist die Hashrate wohl der *schlechteste* Indikator für den Erfolg oder die Langlebigkeit von Bitcoin. Würde der Kurs langfristig so weit fallen, dass das Minen bei dieser Diff unrentabel würde, was würde passieren? Genau, und zwar ziemlich unabhängig davon, wer sonst so Bitcoin für was auch immer verwendet. Wenn schon Charts als Indikatoren, dann doch besser "Wikipedia Aufrufe der Artikel" "Downloads des Clients" "Transaktionen insges" "Nodes total" "Wallets bei Blockchain" oder sonstwas. Alle Charts sind ein besserer Indikator als die Exchangerate. Mit Ausnahme von der Hashrate, das ist der einzige schlechtere Indikator. Ente |

Feature request: conditional close.
Something like Bitstamp introduced not too long ago. When you enter a buy order, you can also specify a price at which to sell. Then when your buy order is filled, a sell order is automatically created with the same amount of coins as the buy order. Vice versa for entering a sell order. Alternatively you could do it like Kraken, which has even more options for conditional close.
Can't imagine the situation when I would want to use such feature and neither did I see it implemented anywhere with major stock brokerages. It really sounds like trading "on vacation mode". Is this the "goal" of such feature? This would be the most useful "auto" feature in my opinion. Price rises dramaticly --> sell, and create buy order automatically Price corrects shortly after: --> you buy back with profit. This will create profit for the users, fees for the platform, and dampen the crazy swings a bit more. Everyone wins. Ente |

I just want to point out, most virus protection software will pickup any malicious executable from running and will stop it from executing unless approved by the user. Memory hacks, especially calling any low level hooks, keyloggers can be easily caught by virus scanners. avg does pretty good job.
I strongly disagree. Antivirus software does a lousy job in protecting from malware. It gives the user a false sense of security, maybe leading to more risky behavior. It eats a whole lot of performance. Good read on this: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/sq7cy/iama_a_malware_coder_and_botnet_operator_ama/In short, consider your system compromised. And use a second system for bitcoin-only. An old 100$ netbook, a trezor, or even an old smartphone if you must. At least consider that as soon as your Bitcoin holding is non-trivial. The Armory wallet is your friend, by the way. Well, that topic is a whole universe in itself.. Ente |

Did bitfinex fix the problem where, in order to trade using the trading wallet, you were having to borrow usd and were getting charged swap fees even if you held enough usd in the wallet to cover the trade? I would prefer to be able to handle all of my trading through the trading wallet and not have to move everything to exchange wallet and trade there when I want to go long (to avoid interest) and then move back to trading wallet when I'm ready to leverage. That's too much trouble and it doesn't make sense that I'd have to borrow money and get charged interest when I have enough USD to cover the trade.
Go long with leverage -> Trading wallet Go long without leverage -> Exchange wallet Yep. That's not a bug, that's the only reasonable way to separate the things. It works the other way too: You won't lose your funds in other wallet types when you are liquidated, for example. Ente |

I'm running Armory 0.87.2 (on Win7 x64) and I was wondering whether it's compatible with bitcoin core 0.9.0 x64.
Should I wait for Armory 0.91 to upgrade to core 0.9.0?
No problems, as far as I can see. I didn't see the reduced default fee in Armory yet, though. Ente |

Guys, get your 101 "Free market: Demand and supply" together! :-P
The only reason why swap rates go down, is, because it'#s unattractive to lend and do margin trading. We are in bull territory, for months, and will probably stay here for another while.
It'll go up to rates "noone can imagine" as soon as the next wave, cycle, bubble, madness starts over again.
Until then, yes, flash rate is good enough for me, lending out in USD.
I agree, trying to tweak the rate manually leaves you out of the loop too much. And is more of a hassle anyway.

On an unrelated note: Are there any vacant positions at Bitfinex? I would really be interested in working for you (customer service rep?) and would also be willing to relocate to HK if necessary (I´m very young and don´t have much responsibilites  ) I don't think Raphael or Giancarlo actually live in HK. Still, a vibrant city, so it wouldn't be a bad choice ;-) Ente |

Hello everyone,
In case you missed it, we have completely reviewed the "Claim" feature. You can now use this feature to settle any margin position with your own funds.
For example, if you have a short for 10 BTC, you can deposit 10 BTC (more to account for swap) and hit the claim button to have the USD of the position (base price * position size) credited on your account and the 10 BTC + swap charged.
This is similar with long positions, with the additional possibility to use position realized profit to settle the position.
And with all of this, we reduced the "Claim" fee to 0.2%, which is a very sweet deal, especially for big position that could otherwise endure slippage.
Furthermore, regarding hidden orders, let me repeat that a hidden order pays the taker fee, and that if you place a limit order that hit a hidden one, you will pay the maker fee.
The new schedule is not meant to increase your fees but change the incentives, so as oyvinds said, depending on your trading habit you can end up paying more fees. However we do believe that this encourages you to place more sensible orders (which however is not our business), with the additional benefit of deepening our orderbook (which on the other hand is crucial for us).
Regarding the streaming API we are sorry to keep you waiting. We will implement this after changing the internal architecture of our trading engine, which is a long shot.
In the meanwhile, more enhancements are on the way.
Have a good day
Raphael

I like those news. I still suggest to publish all "rule changing" directly when logging into an account. Not everybody follows this thread. Ente |

Thanks again for your help. In the meantime I compiled with: aptitude install automake libdb++-dev libboost-dev
aptitude install libboost-{system,filesystem,chrono,program-options,thread,test}-dev
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-incompatible-bdb
make
Works on Debian. Take care that your wallet files may be incompatible to other bitcoin-core installations because of the different berkeley db version. Which is no issue for me. Ente |

I pulled the git, installed "automake", now it complains checking for Berkeley DB C++ headers... no
configure: error: libdb_cxx headers missing ..although I have "libdb-dev" installed. Any hints? Ente locate db_cxx.h then you have different options: a) fixing directories with symlinks, so configure finds it within the default dirs (/usr/lib and /usr/include) b) using ./configure flags or BASH settings to specifiy where libs are searched/found (e.g. something like ./configure BDB_LIBS=/usr/local/db48/lib BDB_CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/db48/include) Thanks pal. It turned out I need "libdb++-dev" instead of "libdb-dev". One step closer now, next roadblock: checking for Berkeley DB C++ headers... default
configure: error: Found Berkeley DB other than 4.8, required for portable wallets (--with-incompatible-bdb to ignore)
There is only v5.1 available on Debian edit: recompiling with "--with-incompatible-bdb" Ente |

Same problem on (stock) Debian. Bitcoin core doesn't run out-of-the-box: /opt/bitcoin/bin/64/bitcoind: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /opt/bitcoin/bin/64/bitcoind)

I have 0.90 installed for ages (it feels). Never a single problem, no crash, no rescan, nothing. Works like a charm here on Debian.
