With all respect, if somebody uses your password to steal your money, it's not about service security but about user stupidity.

I'm absolutely not saying that it is not a crime or that people like that should not be tracked and so on. I just don't think it's anyhow related to how secure exchange is.

hahahhahah awesome

Somebody is selling a lot in dark pool just below $20 stopping price from going up. It does not swing very much down also because there's another big dark at $18.

Yes, compared to 30% value swings that looks  But AFAIR remember week ago everybody was begging for stabilization.

That's more than 20GH/s. Kinda cool. Unless of course, somebody is forced to be in the same room as miners.

I don't feel like doing this since it's not mine, but it would be really cool to put xilinx implementation on github too so that people can fork it for different boards optimizations and improve easily with pull requests. If, of course, they want to share their changes.

I would just like to repeat here, that for the sake of safety of our money it would be really nice to build into protocol hashing based not only on sha256, but maybe 2-3 other algorithms. This makes bitcoins much much safer. It could start at block number 300k or something like that.

It would of course make ASICs quite useless (unless somebody produce them for this new version).

Somebody selling hardware dedicated just for mining is inevitable with bitcoin growth, so this is one of the last moments for such a big change (we don't want blockchain splits because of miners that invested a lot in ASICs later on). Such change could make bitcoin solid as a rock. Even broken sha256 would not be a threat.

I didnt mean to be rude. It's just that when you google or search on the forum, you will discover there were many discussions closely related to what you have wrote. I don't say it's easy to find it, there is a lot of content on forum, but when you read it for some time it gets boring - yet another click with a hope that maybe that guy nailed it, wrote some constructive argument that haven't been discussed on why bitcoin will fail. And then it's yet another "oh no, only 21M", "oh no, another p2p currency will come"

Once again, no offence, I like your post in the way that it provides some kind of let's say reasonable arguments, I just meant for real that maybe separation would help, you would just look in the subforum and then maybe you would reply in some other thread where OP was having similar thoughts as you.

You are a rockstar! Thanks a lot.

I propose new dedicated subforum inside "Economy": "Why I think it's gonna fail", that would make reading forum much easier.

Maybe it would look less sexy, but I think it would be great to have market depth ask and bids on the same scale.

I'm glad it's the latter.

Actually yes, I've never sent you an e-mail, I was using contact form on your website (I'm a bit disappointed if you never received what I typed in there). So how can I check my order status? When entering order number and pressing submit I only see a blank page.

I've sent bitcoins week ago. Checking order status gives blank page. Also haven't got any response to my e-mail.

Scam or just a poor service?

And they blow whenever you want them to...

Actually I think it's twice that (1252BTC) because afaik 0.65% is taken from both sides (and for some kind of withdrawals possibly some % too). But I don't have any problem with that because:

• you can easily code another market, convince people to use it and profit
• you need to be aware however that one day, some goverment may ask you if you have <whatever is needed> and paid <whatever they want> for doing <whatever they think you should not>
• not only gov, but any kind hacker can win quite a bit of a bounty if he gets on that server full of private keys, and that's a lot of risk
• even though MagicalTux got Mt.Gox when it was already functional he still is an early adopter, I would like to own it now, but I would never thought of getting all these problems for myself, so it was like bitcoin - high risk and much to win
• and he was in right place and right time with well earned knowledge and experience that were needed here

One thing I have mixed feelings about are dark pools. Knowing them gives one opportunity to earn a lot on trading bitcoins, especially that mtgox pretty much dictates current price.

One thing that was not included in calculations, is that for GPUs, it does not scale all that easily. Space for boxes is not a big issue, but cooling installation takes some money, and keeping it cool also costs some elecricity. I dont have enough knowledge to give you reliable estimations, but it's really not that easy to keep room cool with even 10 of such boxes.

Also, I believe FPGA solutions are still immature at the moment, and cost of it will go down. For cost comparison to be more useful it would be nice to include more details about FPGA cost as you did for GPU setup.

And thanks for nice comparison.

I have an old client (0.3.15) running all time and lately I noticed lower number of connections too. (I don't want to make up a number but I guess default was , at the moment I have 5 connections, and yesterday it was just 1.

Nice sig, OP.

But if it's to avoid trolling, why stop people from just joining?

Just bought some namecoins Quick transaction, no problems.

Don't be too proud.
