The depth chart will start working once there are a couple of bids/asks. Yup, that's now showing. What's needed next is the bcGBP ticker on BitcoinCharts |

If I am not watching my balance, I might end up without enough at the table to double down or split. Isn't a buy-in something I should be allowed to do at any point?
You can indeed add extra balance to the table at any time, even mid-hand. If you click on your balance (right above the "Split" button), you'll see a popup which allows you to add balance. I wonder if there's a good way to make it more obvious that that is a click-able element. I was thinking of just adding a help bubble when the table is first created that informs the user that you can click there to add balance at any point... i think that is fine, I guess what is throwing me off is that the button for DOUBLE is not enabled because of my insufficient balance. If I'm new, I might think the game isn't allowing me to double down. Perhaps the button should be enabled but if I click on it, it displays a message telling me that I need to click Buy In to add more funds in order to double down. |

Ug. I would advise against using any wallet service to store your Bitcoins. Spend just a few minutes reading the threads on this forum and you will see the bad things that have happened so far. Use either bitcoind or Bitcoin QT (Graphical version of Bitcoin) to store and spend your Bitcoins.
There are many instances where a hosted (shared) EWallet like Paytunia, Instawallet, EasyWallet, or an exchange's EWallet even work very well due to EWallets being convenient and nearly always accessible. Instawallet and EasyWallet are special case EWallets, where there is no username / password, just a URL. They are referred to as "low security wallets" and are suitable for low amounts. They don't make great places for storing wealth, but for someone who simply needs an address to receive $5 worth of coins, it works just fine. |

Does the bitcoin software record your ip?
The bitcoin blockchain doesn't record any IP address information but the nodes that your client is connected to might. Blockchain.info, for instance, captures this information and publishes it when they present the blockchain information (see the "first relayed by" node IP address data for each transaction). |

If those in that pastebin were actual funded Instawallet accounts, the URLs weren't discovered through brute force cracking. Now if those URLs were sent by Instawallet users via e-mail (which transmits in clear-text) or in SMS/text messaging (which transmits in clear-text on telecom networks), or on corporate networks with packet inspection or on compromised Windows systems, etc., then certainly like any bearer instrument, these URLs are vulnerable to being hijacked by a thief. That's one reason why the FAQ reads do not recommend to store significant amounts of Bitcoins here. - https://instawallet.org/static/faq |

Instawallet account identifiers have too high entropy for brute forcing them being profitable.
If those in that pastebin were actual funded Instawallet accounts, the URLs weren't discovered through brute force cracking. And that is quantified here: 16 bytes of random data is 128 bits, which means there are 2^128 = 340282366920938463463374607431768211456 possible Instawallet URLs. Let's say there are 10000 Instawallets in use (in reality the number is nowhere this large, but let's be optimistic and assume that Instawallet will grow). So you have a chance of 10000 to 2^128 to find a wallet with coins if you just guess once.

I am selling Hashpower leases for Paypal payments. 5% mark up plus Paypal fee's (about 1.8%).
You are purchasing a service. This service is provided through Hashpower and myself.
Here is how it works. You send me your worker login/password and I will send the shares to that location. (Must be a Hashpower listed pool). Pricing is based on current lowest PPS price.
Heh, I was wondering how long before someone would start offering bitcoins (err., ... hashing power) using this approach. Great to see this! |

In this context, we at Paymium, felt that it would be a good opportunity to provide the Bitcoin community with an alternative GBP market. Great to see. I see bid and ask orders but the depth chart isn't showing any of them: - http://bitcoin-central.net/order_book?currency=GBP& |

FIY, Okpay was not sending IPN information to us correctly which delayed many payment since we were not able to check from whom these deposit were sent from and where to credit them.
Tue, 25 Sep 2012 19:02:55 -0700 (PDT) Wow, 30 days of no sane response to ziomik's inquiries. Anyway this has been solved yesterday by Okpay and ziomik had is account normally credited as well now. And then no hint of an apology to ziomik here or any acknowledgement that this was handled poorly. Explaining the situation with a "there is a technical issue being resolved and this will take more time" response might have been all that was needed. |

MtGox didn't list any transaction fees, and I elected not to pay the 0.005 fee considering that's roughly half of what I've sent total.
If you are sending from Mt. Gox and the recipient's address is a Mt. Gox account, then the transaction won't hit the blockchain. You can force this to occur by marking the checkbox "Open Transaction". I don't know that the recipient is a Mt. Gox account, I'm just describing one reason why a payment sent as a withdrawal from Mt. Gox wouldh't appear in the blockchain. |

Do U think btc should move away from sha256 and let "normal" people the chance ?
Why stop there? Shouldn't we just change the block reward subsidy and stick with 50 BTC per block while we are at it? </snark> Day 3: Anger and vitriol from GPU miners who are still "underwater" on their GPUs purchased in 2012.
Day 4: Anger and vitriol from FPGA miners who somehow didn't realize that "much more efficient" doesn't protect against a revenue drop of 50%

Is there anything I should know about senting and recieveing btc or there's just something plain wrong with my computer.
You can troubleshoot by verifying the transaction using the blockchain. If it shows in the blockchain but not in your wallet, then the problem is on your side. If the payment doesn't show in the blockchain then it is on their side (the sender of the payment). - http://www.Blockchain.info |

I'd love to get people's thoughts on a simple spin-the-wheel game I've built where you can win bitcoins. It's called Kingcoin
Definitely ask to be added to Mem's List: - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=75883.0I had posted this on your Reddit post but I'll repeat it here: I tried changing the client seed and it let me enter one but it constantly reverted to some numeric seed.
That's the whole point of the client seed is so that the "shuffle" comes from a value I control. [Update: This has since been fixed.] |

I'll just be optimistic and figure that it'll all get sorted out tomorrow.
I did end up getting the e-mail from Coinapult with the link to the payload some time after I had posted that (and had reported the issue to them). It wasn't very long so maybe it just got handled automatically after a delay, or a support person took care of it shortly after. Hopefully yours got squared away as well? |

2) some of the services are not using all the tools that are available for scam prevention such as identification or DRO contracts because there is this small gang of thugs that would like to hurt most of them if they could find them.
That cannot be emphasized enough. There are services that I would like to praise from the rooftops, but because what they are doing is possibly regulated activity none of these service's operators have revealed their identity (or had that identity they provided verified). And thus they are not getting the attention they deserve including attracting customers where they grow into a more widely used and successful service. I'm about as confident as I can be that the operator isn't planning on running but with a service that is operated anonymously there is always that risk, and therefore I can't extend my full trust. If there were two identical services side-by-side, one whose operator's identity is known and can be verified and the other run anonymously, I wouldn't touch the latter. I don't have that choice and because I do want to participate, I rationalize the risk by limiting the amount of funds involved to an amount low enough enough that if the operator does run or otherwise scam that I'm not negatively impacted to any significant degree. But because the threat of action from a regulator keeps the operator from revealing identity, I am then putting myself at risk of getting scammed further than I normally would. And that makes it easier for scammers to "fit in". And having to swim in the same pool as the scammers makes it harder for the good operators protecting themselves with anonymity to compete. Thus the existence of needless regulations actually increases the risk of me being scammed. |

Looks like someone is hammering it right @ clearing time? Really, in the last seconds or so.
Heh, that continues again and again. Best way to buy is have some low bids in right before clearing. Someone must feel it is better to sell a few BUZ2's right before clearing and lower the clearing price than to take the hit from a higher clearing price? (and possibly risk having their position involuntarily liquidated?) |
