Update on GLBSE.com [hit refresh if you see the old message.] GLBSE has been closed
I'm sorry to inform all our users that GLBSE is no longer able to continue operating, and has now closed.
Q: What does this mean if I'm an issuer?
We will do everything in our power to make the process of moving off GLBSE as smooth as possible, we are currently working on a simple, safe, and easy to use method that will allow you to continue your relationship with your asset holders
Q:I'm a GLBSE user, what about my assets and my bitcoin?
You will be able to get back your bitcoin, and if you want to reveal your username, email, and a bitcoin address to accept payments with, you can continue your relationship with the issuer of any assets you hold.
We will begin retuning bitcoin once we have recieved all coins from the GLBSE treasurer that manages the GLBSE cash reserves. BitcoinGlobal (GLBSE's partent company) shareholders and board voted for them to be returned immediately, we are awaiting compliance with this order. - http://www.GLBSE.com |

close the business before a first audit and return all solicited funds. This is a supreme defense.
Well, looks like some variation of that is underway. (Or, not ... ) Nefario has, without a shareholder motion and in violation of the bylaws and GLBSE ToS, decided to close down GLBSE.
[...]
He is also illegally using user deposits to pay for his lawyer.
[...]
Since Nefario refuses to give complete details about his legal concerns and he has been acting strangely, I feel that it is somewhat possible that Nefario is working under some sort of plea bargain and is gathering IDs for future prosecution.

I think this S.E.C. rooting around here might have something to do with this. Says they will not be done with the regulations till 2013 so we might be written in. Bad part about it is we really have no say in what they write.
Technological progress waits for no three-letter agency. Though not every bit of technological progress slides by without getting tripped up by one. Nefario has, without a shareholder motion and in violation of the bylaws and GLBSE ToS, decided to close down GLBSE.

in my opinion this business of issuing unregulated investment securities seems like the type of thing they'll bring the hammer down on, hard, sooner rather than later, exposing the issuers, investors, and/or exchange operators to significant legal risk ... especially if things go wrong. Prescient: Nefario has, without a shareholder motion and in violation of the bylaws and GLBSE ToS, decided to close down GLBSE.

let me know what you think the best route is. List your offer on LocalBitcoins. Who knows, maybe someone down the road from you has BTCs and is looking to trade them. - http://www.LocalBitcoins.comIs there no Chase or Wells Fargo nearby? Neither BitMe.Com (Chase) nor BitFloor.com ( Chase and Wells Fargo) charge for cash deposits. |

last night i had a unconfirmed+confirmed balance of about 0.30 of bitcoin ive hashed over 5000 shares today and its not showing up on my pay cause im still at 0.30 of bitcoin whats up slush  i am willbracum.worker1 I don't know that anyone from that pool monitors this newbies forum. You'll probably get some help quicker if you use their IRC support in #mining.bitcoin.cz on Freenode. - http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=mining.bitcoin.cz&prompt=1 |

how do I prove to someone via email or their e-commerce website that it was me that sent btc from wallet xyz? Related: We need a payment protocol with non-repudiation built in. See https://gist.github.com/2217885 for a multisig version (the singlesig version is simpler, but the merchant <-> customer communication will be the same). |

If the network hashing power is constantly increasing at 10% per 2016 blocks, those blocks will on average take 10% less time than 10 minutes, in the long run.
If this is what you're saying, yes.
To quantify that. At the end of October 5, 2011 (UTC), the block height was 148,231 blocks. At the end of October 5, 2012 (UTC), the block height was 201,987 blocks. So in the past year, there was 53,756 blocks. This was a leap year so there were 366 days. So block generation was at the rate of 146.87 blocks per day. There are 1,440 minutes in a day. So each block took, on average, 9.8 minutes over the past year. This is the hash rate (green) and difficulty levels (red) over the past year [edit: eleven months].  - http://bitcoin.sipa.beAs you can see, even with the difficulty rate rising more than 100% over the past year, it wasn't enough to have a huge effect and blocks were still yielded pretty close to the ten minutes per-block target. [Update: Here's some raw data from the difficulty adjustment periods with a column seconds populated (2011 and 2012) so the computation can be made to tell how many minutes each block took for each difficulty level. - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmcTCtjBoRWUdHVRMHpqWUJValI1RlZiaEtCT1RrQmc ] |

I restored that topic to off-topic. I was on the fence about it, but allowed it to stay deleted because it has no real substance and the author often seems to be trolling.
A list of post removals isn't difficult. I'll write it later.
Thanks for both actions! |

I'm seeing more and more where an offer is put out there, possibly fraudulent, and then the thread gets locked. This usually happens before any negative comments occur or follows with a lock as soon as any replies are not supportive. Historically, anyone selling something and then locking their thread (while the offer is still valid) is up to no good. Here's an example: - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=115531.0In that instance, the title reads "[closed]" but the offer still appears to be open. Neither the thread opening post nor any reply says that the offer has been withdrawn, and remaining yet is the solicitation to PM to do the deal. The thread is locked so nobody can add a bookend to confirm the offer is no longer open. There was another similar thread like this today for something that seemed shady but the thread was locked after just the first post. I had reported it but I can no longer find it. I don't necessarily have a big problem with them doing this (locking), just that it isn't easy for a person seeing the page to see that the offer was made but then a lock was applied where no further replies by the community can be made. If there ws a big read indicator at the top that reads THREAD IS LOCKED, then that would prompt a person to question why a thread with an open offer is locked. I was trying to think of an alternative way of preventing this. Perhaps removing the ability to lock a thread by those with a lower post count or those recently registered (in past 30 days, perhaps). But there are just way too many valid reasons why they should be allowed to lock their own threads so I don't think restrictions are a good idea. So simply giving locked threads the scarlet letter is probably sufficient. |

I ask because computer hardware isn't my area of expertise. I built my desktop from parts, that's about as far as my knowledge goes. is it easy to use with pools?
The Avalon ASIC will probably be about as close to plug-and-play as you can get. note: host PC NOT required. LAN/WIFI connection required.
-both wired and wireless connection supported.
Perhaps there still will be tech skills necessary (e.g., updating firmware maybe, or  ) but it could be as simple as: 1.) open box 2.) plug power cord into 120V AC outlet 3.) plug ethernet cable into router, 4.) register online your Bitcoin address for payout (login using claim code sticker on side of unit) 5.) profit |

Not being a mod and generally unconcerned because the existing mods seemed to have been doing a decent job, I don't really know what goes on. This opened my eyes: While I was sleeping they deleted "The beginning of the end" topic... - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=115533.0I deleted the thread which was my first instinct upon reading it anyway. It was trolling and off topic. I even checked with the forum administrator and he agreed although he suggested I could have moved it to off topic instead.
What you posted was facts that most of us already knew and then you made a conclusion for which you had no supporting evidence. I'm sorry but that's trolling and does not belong into the Bitcoin Discussion. Why delete? Off-Topic if you must, but definitely not delete! Sure, this is a private forum and sure BitcoinTalk has the right to administer it however it chooses. But deleting threads simply because "we already know the facts", "no supporting evidence", "trolling", etc, then BitcoinTalk no longer remains the forum I wish to participate in. I know manually logging actions is a pain in the ass, but can't there be an automated method to see which posts are deleted and by whom? The only piece of data that I don't know if it is available is the "reason". If the mod has to enter a reason, then that should be reported as well. But when deletions don't just subtly disappear then that transparency makes mods think twice about deleting threads. Is there agreement that this log would be useful? Is such a log technically already possible? |

I wait for 6 weeks already and it says booked, but i see never money in my account So to clarify, you deposited bitcoins, sold them for AUD, or USD or something and then initiated a withdraw to your bank? And then the site shows the withdrawal but your bank statement doesn't? That's the problem you are describing? |

for potential sale a perpetual license to run an exclusive bitcoin denominated stock exchange using LTC-GLOBAL site code. ( www.litecoinglobal.com) So you are selling the domain and licensing the software? |

Why is this a problem? Why should every user be influenced into installing software and operating a node?
The Sybil attack is described here: Clients with a checkpoint (even a very old one) that download and validate the headers for the whole blockchain are not vulnerable to Sybil attacks in the following sense: they can always ensure that an attack would cost more than the amount being stolen.
- http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Thin_Client_SecurityAlso, if you can cut communications with 90% of the miners' hashing capacity, you only need 10% of mining capacity to perform a 51% attack. A miner that finds access to pools blocked can mine solo (e.g., using P2Pool even) or go on Tor, but the network is more resilient with more full blockchain-verifying nodes. Now the current database that was used for the Bitcoin.org client ended up being a poor choice, and a switch to a better choice (which didn't even exist when the Bitcoin client was first architected) is being developed as we speak. |

someone/thing screwed up
You can probably thank the combination of Brainwallet.org + someone not knowing what they are doing and transacting with amounts above their competency level (or someone making a rookie mistake). With BrainWallet, you need to spend every bit of coin used as inputs, otherwise whatever you don't spend goes as fees. - http://brainwallet.org/#tx |

Thanks to the efforts of techmix and mohammad_rafigh there is now a Farsi translation of MultiBit.
Well that was easy, and fast! Ok, the next translation I personally am looking forward to seeing completed is the Hindi. The Persian translation yielded 2.7 BTC. I'll start it off with a pledge of 2.7 BTC for completion of the Hindi translations. Jim, would that be another instance where you could set up a bounty for it with a dedicated bitcoin address? |

does it make the network more save? Or does it have no influence at all? If SHA hashing ASICs were available and Bitcoin miners weren't using them, then that would make the bitcoin network less secure as there is this technological advance that could cause a single party or cartel to attain 51% and mess with transactions. So ASICs themselves don't make Bitcoin's network more or less secure, only the distribution of those ASICs would cause that. So having multiple manufacturers and many miners using all of them does keep bitcoin more secure from this threat of a single party or cartel. But no more secure than Bitcoin was already perceived to be before it was a given that ASICs were "just around the bend" |

im just trying to get some bitcoins and dont even have the card yet. i was just looking for people who would possibly trade with me.
There are more efficient methods of converting cash into bitcoins. Quite simply, depositing cash at a bank or 7-11, Walmart, CVS is going to be the fastest and easiest way. Options: - http://www.BitInstant.com (Deposit at major banks, 7-11, Walmart, CVS, Moneygram, etc.,) - http://www.BitMe.com (Deposit cash at Chase) - http://www.BitFloor.com (Deposit cash at Chase or Wells Fargo) - http://www.MrBitcoins.com (Deposit at a bank in U.S., India, Australia) - http://www.CAVirtEx.com (Deposit cash at several banks) - http://www.Spendbitcoins.com (Deposit cash at a bank in Australia) - http://BitcoinNordic.com (Purchase CashU or UKash in dozens of countries) - http://www.BTC-E.com (Deposit cash (USD) at bank locations in Russia) - http://www.BitNZ.om (Deposit cash (NZD) at back locations in New Zealand) - http://www.BitInstant.com (In Brazil using Boleto or Banco Recomendito, or in Russia, using Qiwi or Cyberplat.) Also, Bitcoins Direct will accept cash, but they have a $500 minimum order size: - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=87094.0 (Deposit cash at Bank of America, Wells Fargo or PNC, minimum $500) Or you might find a local trade (paying cash): - http://www.localbitcoins.comWith that prepaid debit card you could purchase by using VirWoX where you can buy SLL using your credit card, then trade SLL for BTC: - http://www.VirWoX.comThis probably does't help you if you are looking to spend the coins anytime soon, but you can buy physical Bitcoin, paid for with credit card (assuming they are back in stock before you want to buy): - http://memorydealers.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=bitcoinThere is one vendor that will accept your Vanilla visa card that you've sent to them through the mail. Then once they've spent the funds then they send the bitcoins to you: - https://www.quickbitcoins.netThere may be other methods available to you as well: - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Buying_bitcoins |
