To put things into perspective, the Danish currency is pretty popular in these financial crisis times, so to keep the Danish Kroner at the same exchange rate towards the Euro they have lowered the interest rate to -0.2% (yes, thats negative interest rate). Banks are still investing as they consider this a safer place to invest than many alternatives out there. http://uk.mobile.reuters.com/article/idUKL6E8I5A8520120705?irpc=932For some reason BS&T can give you 3000+%, maybe I should contact some Danish bankers and thell them that there are alternatives  |

Why not just use BitInstant with Wells Fargo?

i wanna revive this thread and ask jan to please update his numbers.
also, i saw that the app by andreas schildbach has 10000-50000 downloads in the google app store in the last 30 days. thats ten times the number it shows for spinner and would mean it has more installations than all other alternative clients combined. is that true? is there any way to get accurate numbers on this?
What an excellent idea. The number listed does not list installs for the last 30 days, but the (very inaccurate) total installs to date. Being the publisher of an app allows you to get pretty accurate numbers of device installs from Google Play. Here is what I reported April 13: ... - Total installs to date: 816
- Active device installs: 503 (people we did not uninstall it again)
- Total installs with actual BTC in them: 303 (This is the one that really matters)
... The page: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.miracleas.bitcoin_spinnerreports 1000-5000 installs today. The accurate numbers are: - Total installs to date: 1501
- Active device installs: 918 (people who did not uninstall it again)
- Total installs with actual BTC in them: 562 (This is the one that really matters)
The numbers have nearly doubled over less than four months. Not bad everything considered. The UI is not really sexy, but it's fast, secure, and easy to use. |

I hope you remember the day you let your emotions get the best of you.
Ready when you are.
Sure! How's this for the terms: Both I and you (Pirateat40) place 5000 BTC each into an escrow held by Nanotube. If after 2013-10-01, that's the first of October 2013, BS&T has not defaulted on payments, Pirateat40 gets the funds. In the case of a default, I (Vandroiy) get the funds. A default is identified by customers' funds being locked down for two consecutive weeks. Something among these lines? Perfect and I don't think you could have picked a better escrow. When your funds hit the escrow let me know. I'll add 3k BTC to this, same escrow, same terms (except Vandroiy = Blitz), so I can also "put my money where my mouth is". Agree? Time for popcorn, this is going to be interesting! |

Server down for scheduled maintenance Sunday July 1 8 PM PST. Maintenance window expected to be 3 hours.
In that window you will not be able to use BitcoinSpinner for transactions. Note that with BitcoinSpinner you can always export your Bitcoin private key regardless of server availability.

Great meetup. Got to meet a bunch of enthusiastic and well connected bitcoiners. Lots of interesting stuff going on in San Francisco. We were about 15-20 people, and unfortunately I didn't get to talk enough with all of you. Until next time.

Yes: Online gambling is legal in the UK and most of Europe. Proxy use is ok as well.
This is bad advice. Proxy use is forbidden on StrikeSapphire. We take all reasonable measures to prevent it (as well as some unreasonable ones). Moreover, it's a violation of our TOS, and any account we believe to be using a proxy for the purpose of circumventing national laws will be frozen and ID verification required to unlock it. He has to say that, otherwise his ass is on the line. |

You did it again. Awesome! Is there such a thing as too many good news?

Nice press release. Well done indeed.

Hi Tony,
It means that I am reloading the block chain due to a software update on the server side ;-)
I should probably have announced this in advance. Sorry for the inconvenience.
No problem, we had to do the same thing earlier this month. i'll check again in the morning. Done, up and running again. |

Jan,
in your app, the bottom half of the screen (Send Bitcoins and Transaction History) is greyed out. I've force-stopped the app twice and even completely rebooted my phone. What does tihs mean?

How about calling it traceroute? Resembles the unix command for tracing IP router hops.

That sounds exciting! Please integrate this payment option for Euro as well. As soon as this function works we can start to convince the shopkeepers to start accepting bitcoins. Close to everybody has an android phone somewhere  Yes, in the end it shiuld work with any currency. First step: BitInstant in the Euro zone. |
