Right click Ticker item to launch GLBSE site
That's pretty cool. Subtle though ... I discovered it on accident. Bookmarked. Now there are stocks organized by market: Blue Market, White Market, Pink Market, Black Market. Is there any way to indicate which market these are? |

Man that looks horrible though. Can anyone else confirm this issue?
I wonder if simply removing the blue background from the CSS for now would be better than trying to limp through. It really looks like the site was hacked or something, it just looks bad.
I see where the problem occurs. I had accidentally set my zoom at 90%. With that setting the articles are nearly unreadable due to the CSS artifact. At 100%, the problem goes away. |

From the article: Have you ever ordered The Law from Amazon, taken a Mises Institute course, bought Jim Willie’s newletter, bought gold or silver from GoldSilver or GoldMoney, subscribed to Doug Casey’s investing column, made a donation to LewRockwell.com, participated in Tom Wood’s Liberty Classroom, bought Gerald Celente’s Trend Research, bought from Alex Jones’ various products, donated to Ron Paul’s Campaign for Liberty, donated to Stefan Molyneux, subscribed to the incredibly insightful Robert Wenzel of Economic Policy Journal, subscribed to The Dollar Vigilante Jeff Berwick, consulted with privacy advocate Mark Nestmann, joined The Sovereign Society, been considering purchasing the highly anticipated Silent Circle by PGP creator and Internet Hall of Fame Inductee Phil Zimmermann, used the VPN CryptoHippie, donated to AntiWar and countless others. This has been stated a number of ways, first back in 2010 when Wikileaks got cut off by PayPal. And there have been a number of people that have weighed in with the same argument that anonymity like cash is needed, ... from Jon Matonis, Peter Sunde ( http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-03/19/future-of-money ), Rick Falvinge, and a handful of others. But nobody before has brought this message to THIS crowd ... the LewRockwell contributors, and the gold bugs, etc. It's almost like there needs to be a paranoid release of Firefox that intercepts web request and suggests you use Tor before browsing these and suggests you use bitcoin when trying to enter a credit card or make a payment using PayPal for any potentially honeypot sites. |

The overall sum of all values is used to compare the work of different miners.
Would this cause significantly more computing work to be expended to support this alternate proof of work approach? |

I would not say that it doesn't make sense until an ASIC is proven to exist.
Though many are claiming "soon" From the Bitcoin wiki: ASICs
As of September 18, 2012 there are no ASIC products shipping yet and no ASICs used in mining, at least nothing that has been publicly announced.
The vendors and products announced include:
-----------------

*** Reclaimer RM 80 Ghash/s for $2,800 (1 Ghash/s bonds redeemable for hardware traded on ICBIT)
-----------------
* ASICMINER
** ASICMINER will not be selling hardware to the public and instead will supply ASICs to MOORE mining. Shares of both ASICMINER and MOORE are sold on GLBSE. Availability: Not disclosed. Discussion - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison#ASICs |

Currently I'm using MultiBit and have resorted to sending myself arbitrary amounts around the division points I think I need, but I have no way of seeing how my wallet is broken up currently.
To split your wallet so that you have many inputs with a smaller granularity, there is BTCRelay: - http://btcrelay.com - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=60603.0How that could be used is when sending the wager, give your BTCRelay address as the "custom Bitcoin address" payout method, and then have BTCRelay split that ten ways (or whatever you want) to addresses in your own wallet. |

I understand your position. How frequently should I adjust the price to match the exchange? I would think the beginning of the day would be the best.
It pretty much will depend on the profit margin that gives you some leeway. I just read that Joe's Datacenter in KC accepts Bitcoin, and they use the weighted average over the previous 24 hours (a value that can be obtained from the BitcoinCharts API). So the exchange rate is determined at the time the customer invoice is prepared. A low margin service would be forced to set prices based on the last price on a large exchange (but also take into account "slippage" for larger transactions.) A higher margin service could get away with once a day adjustments based on previous day's average, or something like that. Sometimes it will be in the merchant's favor, other times in the customer's favor -- but generally will even out, roughly. |

A potential problem is trust between the parties. Does the renter trust the user to not change/break anything, do something illegal that could get the renter in trouble, etc.? Does the user trust the renter to not hack the software to snoop on, mislead, etc. the user?
Definitely a good idea though.
Oh, anything other than doing an image restore after the session is over is asking get p0wned! This would need to be a service offered commercially, though because it could be someone offering it from anywhere in the world, there probably would be no problem finding willing suppliers of systems for this endeavor. |

Please don't do this with your Bitcoin
Paper bitcoins left in a safe will be conveyed upon your passing, but what about those in an encrypted wallet?? M of N escrow will provide more options. The appointed executor of a will is given one key and family members are each given a copy of the other key (or told the secure location where it is stored). This is one of those things though that nobody thinks will happen to them, but over time it will happen somewhere. |

But they do not offer two-factor authentication
We are working possible options. Google 2-factor would be the first implemented, and SMS checks might follow. This is why I'm trading on ICBit with only a trivial amount for now. Also, when considering how to implement it, please read the following: A plea to exchanges ... lets do 2 factor right! - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=109424.0 |

Bitcoins it may sandbox it from buyers remorse due to price fluctuations. You don't know what the future exchange rates will be. The customer might be quite happy they did buy when they did if the exchange rate drops. i.e., the knife cuts both ways. There would be less push-back if I lowered the price constantly. If you set your price to fiat, the price isn't being "lowered" constantly, it is just pegged to the dollar and thus doesn't change. Before bitcoins, Pecunix was a currency that some services accepted more widely. Their prices were in goldgrams but the prices adjusted relative to the exchange rate. It is the same thing with Bitcoin. But it is your business, you are free to set pricing in whatever manor you wish. |

If a rich private interest or government decided that this sort of attack was in their best interest, what's stopping them?
Well, for beginners, what might be stopping them is a motive. Why would this be in "their best interest"? Another thing stopping them ... it wouldn't be easy, even for a nation state, to accomplish. It takes more than an blank check to make this happen -- 25 Thash/s of hashing hardware is just not readily available. Maybe when multiple ASIC vendors are duking it out there will be excess capacity available to this hypothetical attacker, but today it would be noticeable. And if your government claims it has to cut back on school supplies for teachers, for instance, is spending tens of millions of dollars going after a cryptocurrency really the best use of funds which come only from current and future taxpayers? But as far as technically being possible, yes, yes it is technically possible. A lot of things are technically possible, but the reason they don't happen is there is no economic benefit to doing so. As is the situation here. |

a site help us rent a computer with a specific operating system and/or software, and paying in bitcoins directly to the owner of the machine. So let's say there is an expensive piece of software (or otherwise unavailable title) that I wouldn't be willing to buy but I would be willing to rent it per-hour, perhaps? (And can't get a bootleg copy / or don't want to install it?) I could see demand for this. Even within the bitcoin world ... I'ld pay for access to a system loaded with sierra charts all configured to access Mt. Gox feed, for instance. As a Linux user I would need to set up a Windows VM and install it and ... ya, so I've never touched Sierra Charts. But I might pay to rent a system that has it, for a few hours. |

are people hoarding too much and preventing new business from getting established?
Bitcoins are easily exchanged on the markets. If I wish to purchase from you and you only accept bitcoins, I can convert my dollars to bitcoins and make my purchase. The level of hoarding savings by others doesn't change that. You just want to have a method that adjusts the price to reflect the current exchange rate, otherwise your price will reflect an amount too high if the exchange rate is rising, or you might sell for a price too low when the exchange rate is dropping. Thus making a purchase from you that is valued at $100 USD today costs me about $101 to complete (including the exchange fee). Six months from now, making a purchase from you that is valued at $100 USD will still cost me about $101 then to complete -- regardless of the exchange rate then. But as far as accepting only bitcoins, that may not be the wisest business decision. Some businesses specifically would do this as a competitive advantage (e.g., able to better compete due to no chargebacks, or because of the privacy bitcoin offers) but generally, you don't want to shut willing and able buyers out just because they aren't yet familiar with Bitcoin. |

after four help desk tickets and two weeks I haven't heard anything.
That's unusual for Camp BX. I do notice that it has been nearly a week since Keyur's forum account shows any activity. - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=15102I mailed a certified check two weeks ago and they have refused to even tell me if they got it. It sure hasn't shown up in my account.
When they accept checks, it is personal checks only. If you sent a personal check, you should be able to see if they got it by looking at your bank account to see if (and when) it has cleared. |
