Nope, this one disappeared from a bit higher, and was cranked down to 6.

As in an identical amount lowered from higher in the asks, to lower in the asks, same amount..

Its a braindead move.. but I do see signs of it going up in the short term.. Smiley

I don't get how this relates to Bitcoin at all Huh
Instead of being the starfish, be the Harlequin shrimp.  You could stare at the starfish all day on Bitcoinica, or you could be pwning the market in other ways.

Or just stare at the Megan Fox avatar.
Hey, good idea!

Mmmmmmmmmmm


That anorexic chick IS hot!

Once-a-week $1 smack-downs, bumping up .50 cents, then week-long sideways movement w/no volume.

Repeat in continuing downward trend.  Until positive volume picks up.

now, they know we know. Question is, do they know we know that they know we know! Cool

hilarious!

Cheesy

I spit a bit of chips I was eating on my desk when I read that asshole! Cheesy hhahaha

Im assuming there will be a page on bitcoin 101, and its simple basics?

I just want a bunch of copies to stick places, gorilla advertising.

Barber shops, dentists, waiting rooms of all types, left at a coffee shops, libraries.

All the sudden, bitcoin will be everywhere.. Smiley

Kill them with kindness!

Ie, most bitcointalk people dont bother with reading the technical laden Development & Technical Thread.

I suppose I could have posted to the general Bitcoin Talk, but I didn't think that kind of low-level "plumbing" would be of general interest, any more than the average bitcoin user would care or notice a bunch of other low-level "plumbing" changes that are being made (I've got a patch pending that a certain-somebody doesn't like because it tightens up the definition of a "standard" transaction; I expect that if I pull that patch he'll start screaming that I'm wrecking future network flexibility all because I'm a big old worry-wart).

I did post to the Mining/Pools forum a couple of months ago looking for feedback because miners/pool operators are the people who are "voting" on the original proposal:
  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=50707.msg604435#msg604435


Thats a good start back then, but obviously it missed its mark.

I think everyone is missing the mark truthfully, allowing multi signatures is the holy grail for bitcoin at this time, anything to help the scamming, lying, and what not.  

I wish it was just an update we all have to do, we do trust you, but having a choice is what we all want, and yet its the problem at the same time.

We all wish though, that it could be done in a way that requires no update.  Im not technical enough to say either way.

And simply, keep fighten the good fight, we all appreciate your work.

Cheesy

Since I apparently now inadvertently have a horse in this race, I'll bite.  

Going forward, if you want something like this that requires the informed consent of the majority, you might try contacting the majority either on your own behalf or on Bitcoin's behalf, explaining the situation and suggestion either a course of action or asking for suggestions on how to proceed.

My principal problem in this situation is the lack of communication and the timeframe(s) involved.  You want a vote for a feature, but I didn't even know that feature existed, much less that it was up for a "vote" until about a week ago.  I understood even less about it up until recently, and I *still* don't understand it to the point where I feel I can cast an informed vote.  And I will not blindly vote for something I don't understand, contrary to Sturle's desire.

Then the issue of the "forced" vote through the codebase manipulation rubs me the wrong way... I'm fine putting in the OPTION to vote one way or the other, but forcing the vote to YES with no way to turn it off, except by modifying the source, is just plain wrong.  

That said, the argument then becomes "Well, we could have just made the change without a 'vote' of any sort."  True... so why wasn't that done?  If you want to have transparency, I applaud that, but then doing a 180 and sneaking by a majority vote is contradictory to that transparency.  If you want to have a dictator ship, well ok I will deal with that and either do my own thing or go along with the dictator... but what we had here was a hybrid of the two that doesn't sit well with anyone, and thus we find ourselves in this particular mess.

Just my 2c worth.


Totally, agree, but I know what its all about, and I took the time to look most of it up, but the fact remains..

No one knows, and most dont care.


Im behind you Gavin, but if you want change, people need to know you want it.

for the record, dishwara was not a scam, he bought back all the shares except just 1

Correction, a dead stock still able to be traded for no reason..

sell bitcoins and deposit USD then * is gone

Excellent idea!
1231  Economy / Speculation / Re: seems like bitcoinica leverage starvation is the biggest cause of swing now! on: January 25, 2012, 08:49:54 PM
My guess is that this will be balanced out eventually by smart traders who can take advantage of this information.

Too late, except the smart traders also have all the money, and its all locked up on Starfishoinica long before any gets a piece to leverage on.

1233  Economy / Speculation / Re: seems like bitcoinica leverage starvation is the biggest cause of swing now! on: January 25, 2012, 08:31:18 PM
thoughts?

Is mtgox failing bitcoinica, or bitcoinica always going to be like this when the crowd stampedes in a particular direction?

Seems to me that the star of death on a particular direction tolls the death knell for thoe opposing position these days

Its like playing cards on a glass table, and everyone has mirrors on their shoes..


Welcome to what I've been trying to say for weeks!
1234  Economy / Speculation / Re: Starting to sense pessimism... on: January 25, 2012, 08:28:02 PM
If I can just hold out until we get to "Despair" for the imminent rally...

Back to...$5?

If we managed to hit $5, it just might go well into the $4's. The depth is pretty thin below $5.

No, what I'm saying is that after this correction, we might rally back to $5.

These prices are not what I look forward to when I wake up after work...

What are you? A bed tester?  Cheesy

I was thinking same thing.. most of us sleep after work...

I want his job...
1237  Economy / Speculation / Re: I'm curious... on: January 25, 2012, 07:46:05 PM
Do you think it would be possible to "organize" a rally?  Or a sell-off, could go either way.

If you started several threads, calling everyone to buy "all-in" on, say, Feb 1st, to make an artificial rally, would it happen?

It's hard to say... I mean, some people might do it, which means other people would be interested in doing it as well to "catch the wave", so to speak.  It could compound to the point where lots of people end up buying in on Feb 1st.  But then, probably just as quickly, people would sell, because they knew it was an artificial rally and they knew that others would sell as well.

But, if all of this is known in advance, wouldn't people take that in to account in today's trading price?  I mean, if I know there's going to be a rally on Feb 1st, wouldn't I want to buy a day or two early, to ensure that I get the lowest possible buy-in price?

If you have a lot of money, you could state that you plan to buy 50,000 coins on Feb 1st in the hope of starting an artificial rally.  You'll also state that you won't buy them all at once, but have various buy orders throughout the day (so that no one can tell when you bought and dump their own coins right after they see the purchase).  But then again, people would probably buy early, then try to sell in the middle of the day when they think it will go no higher, pushing the price back down.

So, is it not possible to start an artificial rally?

The game is to rape the economy, not artificially inflate it..   

Get your game straight.. Smiley
1238  Economy / Speculation / Re: your long position on: January 25, 2012, 07:13:57 PM
I had been looking at a correction to $4.75 - $5.50 trading range.

Was based on steady-growth support/resistance points, from before the Bubble.

Really curious to see where we settle now....


Just look to the zhounorth star, it will always show you the way.
1239  Economy / Speculation / Re: your long position on: January 25, 2012, 06:45:52 PM

The star is still up.. lemmings..
1240  Economy / Speculation / Re: your long position on: January 25, 2012, 06:18:41 PM
The starfish is the best indicator yet.   Grin

This is too much!, clear sign, with bright lights..   

And then we bend over..
