well, that was a really fun way to blow ~$7 - deposited 1.13 and bought 50 clicks. - used up most of them but sunk a ship for 0.6 - bought 24 more clicks and sunk a second ship for 0.6 - bought 24 more clicks but used them all up good job on the site, my main suggestion would be try to see if you can use ajax somehow... because the page reloads can be quite distracting with so many gifs. |

this looks fun, going to give it a try! by the way, since 'b.gif' is already 16x16, how about using it as the favicon.ico?  if you don't have icon software yet, i can recommend 'IcoFX' which is freeware. |

depending on your reason for wanting the figure, you may also like to subtract at least 20,000 that have been permanently lost (as claimed by various people on this forum).

question is, at what rate are they doing this?
i.e. what rate are they converting USD to SEK?
**Note my answers are speculative btw. More than likely it would be at international forex trading rates, otherwise they get into that "triangle of doom" I referred to. Mt.Gox auto converts the SEK to USD or vice versa and then performs the trade for BTC. If they can perform the USD <-> SEK conversion with little to no exchange fees (because they are acting as the exchanger) and it is done rapidly (ie. not convert and wait and then the currency exchange changes value then they convert back) the USD <-> SEK conversion would not even be noticed. To accomplish this all Mt.Gox would need really is a reserve of non-trading fiat that it uses to perform the trade. [/quote] i think any site that converts between currencies at any time should have a regularly-updated page informing users of the rates. (or at least a policy which states something like 'we use the mid-rate on xe.com' for example). for now though, flying blind... |

I would certainly like to download the whole chain even if it's a bit big because I do have HD space.
likewise, even for a 3TB block chain i'd be happy to put up $159 for a new hdd to store it. |

I would suspect Mt.Gox is just pulling off the same mechanic under the hood enabling any fiat to BTC trading possible.
question is, at what rate are they doing this? i.e. what rate are they converting USD to SEK? |

Gentlemen, bitcoin is going mainstream!

now it seems australian withdrawals have vanished.
there used to be an option under withdrawals:
USD to Australian bank account
that option is no longer there... are we now expected to do an international wire?

i'm also a big fan of older keyboards and i'm also too lazy to take my own photo so this is from google:  it's a honeywell, i'm not sure of the exact model but i think mine's older than the one in this photo. actually a few years ago i was looking for a second hand one and the only old honeywell keyboards i could find for sale was this box of 15 from some guy in sydney. i paid $10 for the whole box and i've still got 12 or so lying around somewhere. edit: actually that photo above is far too modern... i don't have fancy new-fangled 'windows' keys or any other b.s. |

I don't know guys, Maria could actually be legit. IIRC this little gem paid her mortgage off https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=26218.msg327634#msg327634 I would be a little sceptical about the Maria.ex4 trading profile, I haven't looked into it at all but one could probably design a profile that emptied your balance after said 30 days. Stay frosty! well maria 'accidentally' pasted her mtgox balance and other details, in a pm when she sent me a mtgox redeem code for 0.01, and it was most definitely a significant balance. easily faked of course, but i'm guessing not. |

https://www.ipredator.se/ is pretty good, they are the only vpn i have ever used and i like them. sure your ping will suck because they are based in sweden, but its really good if you just want to chat or download large amounts of data without revealing your real ip address. in addition the traffic is encrypted from the vpn servers to your computer, no isp snooping  this is awesome thank you you have to use a credit card to make payment... how is that anonymous? are there any bitcoin-accepting VPNs on this level yet? |

let's say someone wanted to transfer $1000 in russian mafia money to a nice 'clean' bank account in new zealand... if they transfer directly then there's an association between the two bank accounts.
but if they deposit anonymously to an exchange, then withdraw to the nz bank account, they've helped launder the money (authorities would have to go one extra step of contact the exchange for more detail).
So what's the problem? If some time ever later authorities want to investigate the transfer which came into some account in New Zealand, and they see it came from the account of the Exchange, they just ask the Exchange about it but maybe they'd be far less likely to even investigate in the first place, if the 'from' address was abc exchange in USA or wherever, rather than from some more random name in russia, nigeria, etc. |

I can only speak for https://worldbitcoinexchange.com , new users make a deposit to our account.....In order to by past the anti-fraud system the deposit is a little under $1000 dollars, then a few days later a withdraw request comes trough for that same user the user hasn't traded on the exchange but used the exchange to store money, then withdraw at a later date. As we don't charge a fee to our users to deposit or withdraw funds on our exchange this would be an incentive for fraudsters to frequently use this services and its then this could be determined as a 'fraudulent deposit' the bank red flags the activity and the activity is passed on to AML. (i believe this is what Tadehill is facing currently..... then again i could be wrong you will have to wait for there reply to this matter.) In what way can such a deposit and withdrawal be in any way "fraudulent"? I don't see absolutely any benefit for the alleged fraudster from such an operation. He deposits 1000$, he withdraws 1000$ - he had 1000$, he has 1000$. In no way this can help in any "money laundering", as he can much simpler just withdraw the 1000$ from an ATM in cash, and presto! - he has cash, untraceable and clean, he can deposit it anywhere, with no way of tracing the source. So funneling a 1000$ though the exchange bank accounts doesn't offer any more "laundering" possibility of a 1000$ then a banks ATM. This would be different for a 1000000$ - as it might be difficult to dispose of cash in that amounts, so here exchange's bank accounts could offer some opportunity. But for a 1000$, or even 10000$ (still easy to dispose in cash)? No way. So what is the problem? let's say someone wanted to transfer $1000 in russian mafia money to a nice 'clean' bank account in new zealand... if they transfer directly then there's an association between the two bank accounts. but if they deposit anonymously to an exchange, then withdraw to the nz bank account, they've helped launder the money (authorities would have to go one extra step of contact the exchange for more detail). |

simple explanation:
0.3.20.2 calculates less accurately => 1779163.94366
0.3.24 calculates more accurately => 1777774.482
they must have been grabbing the difficulty factor from an older install temporarily.
edit: sorry i just noticed kjj said basically the same thing above.
