I wrote that I bought a software from him, he said it was bitcions. I'm a verified account, he's not, I hope PP will believe me, what the chances of that happening?

It happened before with verified vs. unverified accounts.

I bet some websites are making n times more than what they are giving you.

That's difficult at the current exchange rate & with people trying to receive dozens of payments at once + trying to steal your wallet....
1583  Economy / Speculation / Re: What will happen to BTC "Fees" when we readh 1000$/BTC? on: March 24, 2013, 09:08:09 PM
We usually see fees like "0.005" or "0.001".  What will happen to those in the future?

Buy some ASICs and decide Wink

Already now, playing SatoshiDICE, putting ~1$ (0.020 BTC, and soon 0.015BTC) and having to pay 0.005BTC does make a substantial difference.  The Bitcoin-qt client seem to often want the fees required.

Found your problem:
  • You're playing SatoshiDICE
  • You're playing it with small amounts
  • For some reason you're playing it with USD instead of BTC

Let's say I'm the ECB and I'm not THAT stupid, so instead of crashing this market I'm using it to increase my own profits and move it around as I wish, because yes I do have a lot of influence.
1585  Economy / Speculation / Re: Market manipulators: is it possible to detect them? on: March 23, 2013, 04:19:56 PM
Only the markets that are trading Bitcoin could try to detect "unusual behavior" - cause they're managing the accounts, but it's very hard to describe manipulation in a way that everyone agrees with.

Technically everyone who trades "manipulates" the market in some way and why should someone who has $10,000,000 not buy BTC or someone who has 200k BTC keep them? That's just how a market works… of course there might be some people who are making walls to scare other traders, but this only works as long as others are getting scared by this behaviour.

If someone wants to take a BTC20k dump, they are altruistic because the coins are redistributed to more, and perhaps "stronger", hands.

Yes, the new wealth distribution could make us even stronger. Imagine someone having 100k when the price of 1 bitcoin buys you a new car.... this could be very bad for everyone.

Edit: Of course not everyone is selling in exchange for government money - I heard there are actually many people spending BTC now.

Given the developments in the EU, that we can anticipate in the early days of the coming week, it makes no sense for Bitcoin to be dropping right now, quite the opposite, IMO. Very strange indeed.

Let's say someone had 100,000 BTC and doesn't hold a lot of gold/silver or something else - it'd perfectly make sense to push some BTC to other things just in case. Of course Bitcoin is great, but it's not exactly a wise strategy to put everything in Bitcoin (or anything else). The growth rate of Bitcoin is still very high. The situation of the EU isn't too bad: the ECB doesn't print as fast as the FED and Cyprus is like less than what Portland is to the US. The media hype about this could be pushed by banksters to make profits out of it similiar to the "fiscal cliff" thing in the US in January and then suddenly: "oh wait, everything's fine here"....

The mtGox average at 8PM is 69.87 USD, so if @krateng also posted a guess that was at $69 then he won bonus coin!

I said $70  Cool

This thread is interesting, maybe someone could translate the Bitcoin clients to languages such as  Icelandic, Luxembourgish or even Klingon Cool

It's mostly German & English for me. I learned some Italian, but I forgot almost everything  Roll Eyes

Wasn't talking about vlad, we all know he aint a member and I was talking to jgarzik, you can read the context right in that post.

If you stopped reading every post and taking other people on bitcointalk.org serious you'd have enough time to provide a good alternative to the Bitcoin Foundation....

What more closed then the bitcoin foundation, but if it has nothing to do with that, which I doubt, then share what does it involved gives us more information. LOL I like how you call me nuts indirectly, cause I am pretty sane LMAO

Of course do not listen to me. All the scammers, ponzi promoters, pool hoppers, fraudsters,  cheating pool ops and their fans as well as other assorted assholes will tell you that.

Meanwhile, I set you all up for an epic "I told you so" post.  Cool

Do it. I'm wondering if it's related to what I heard.
1596  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Let`s file a lawsuit against Butterfly Labs on: March 22, 2013, 11:16:20 AM
but I only got 60 BTC and not 193 BTC

Do you think a company paying employees and taxes in government money could simply do that? You should be happy that they returned the funds - pre-ordering normally doesn't work like that.

I heard from other company owners that some people are wanting their money back in BTC after the value goes up. People like you are the reason why there are still not many places to spend Bitcoins: nobody wants a customer like you!

Dear early adopters, please clean up your fiat debts (if any) - some people need to pay back their Bitcoin debt to me and it seems impossible to do that at this exchange rate  Undecided
