Sorry if this gets confusing: There have been no changes until the campaign launches in 1-2 weeks

Meta, auctions, politics & society still count.

I will be reviewing all members once again.

Is there a thread or a post that goes over all the upcoming changes? I checked the first page but didn't notice anything...

My dominant count is however unchanged, I think there is significant risk of sub 1000 yuan retest soon.

Thanks Chessnut for staying on top of this thread with your updates. Looks like I'll hold onto my fiat a little longer, maybe I'll be lucky enough to grab some of those sub 1000 yuan coins  Smiley

That coinbase has some nice buy support. Not sure I've ever seen that much depth in coinbase's orderbook before.



Thanks for the chart. As they say "liquidity begets liquidity".

If I were the skeptical type, I would speculate that this is coinbase using some of their recent funding in an attempt to lure more volume trading on their platform.

If I were the more conspiratorial type, I might suggest this is just fake walls...

That's quite a large rise in volume out of nowhere... Why?? I like your "skeptical type" answer above, coinbase fluffing their own orderbook?

...On another note, government legislation is good as long as it's not a ban. The more and more regulations and legislation we see the more it legitimizes bitcoin.

Sometimes over-regulations are a form of ban. Strictly forbidding something (in this case - Bitcoin) would make any government look like North Korea, so instead they try to 'help' with regulations, but if those are hard/impossible to comply with - the effect would be the same.

Would it be good if you were obliged to register your every BTC address with government institution, or declare every satoshi you have, or pay tax on hobby-mining etc?

Would it be good?? It would be stupid. There is no way to enforce any of those things. The record labels and government thought they could stop P2P file sharing, they were wrong. What makes them think they can stop or even attempt to govern P2P money? Anyone who abides by those regulations would be self imposed and work like an honor system.

I don't understand why anyone would want to buy an old account unless the use is for sig campaign spam or some other nefarious scam.

Was it just me or did that article not mention much about this new legislation? On another note, government legislation is good as long as it's not a ban. The more and more regulations and legislation we see the more it legitimizes bitcoin.

Is there a possible way to convert this php into html?

No, HTML can not do the same functions as PHP.

I've got about $700 that I want to use to buy Bitcoin and hold it for the long run. I am having a hard time choosing where I want to store this coin, encrypted desktop wallet, blockchain.info, blockchain.info paper wallet, TREZOR, or something else. If I go with a TREZOR then I'll only have around $600 to spend on buying coin. What do you guys think is my best option for storing 3 Bitcoins for the long run?

If I were you, I would download the bitaddress code from Github (https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org), disconnect from internet and create a new paper wallet for it. Depending on your paranoid level, you may boot from a Linux LiveCD to be sure malware doesn't affect you.

I downloaded the bitaddress code, turned off wifi, opened the html file and generated a new wallet. However, in order to print the paper wallet, I have to turn my wifi back on. Isn't this a security risk?

If your printer works off of wifi, it probably also has a USB slot or a SD card input?
Try taking a screen shot of your generated address, put it on a USB stick or SD card and then stick it in your printer and print.

It was also caused by crazed demand and greed. We may see $1200 again much sooner than you think.

Well I'm convinced, selling all coins now. Must get out quick!
1333  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price in 10 years..... on: April 18, 2015, 07:08:31 PM
I can't imagine there's that many people with more than 50 coins.

I believe you are right, but why do you think this is? I only discovered bitcoin in January, I am not wealthy by any means and I have managed to wangle 75 coins. Maybe I am just significantly more optimistic than the average person?

I predict the price in ten years to be ~$30k, unadjusted for inflation. As this would make bitcoin 10% as valuable as the world's gold. Ultimately I think bitcoin will overtake gold (as it is simply better- has all the advantages but none of the disadvantages) but this will take more than ten years.

That statement is completely contradictory. 75 coins in 4 months (~$18-$19K), you are indeed very wealthy OR you have a nice paying job and live at home with mom n dad with zero expenses.
1334  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: List of Transactions? on: April 18, 2015, 06:07:05 PM
You can do this with blockchain.info's API and a little PHP.  https://blockchain.info/api/blockchain_api

Code:
https://blockchain.info/address/$bitcoin_address?format=json

Use PHP and change the code below to have $bitcoin_address equal your address that you want to monitor for new transactions.

The below code will work for MOST standard transactions. Save the below code as a PHP file and run it on your server. It's a little buggy since it will also show transactions going out from this address, but it's a start.
Example: http://btcthreads.com/getBalance.php

Code:
<?php

$bitcoin_address "12DR75wMiV9YiBS5KcSLrQCWeK2WR32N4N"//Replace this with your address you want to monitor
$jsonData "https://blockchain.info/address/$bitcoin_address?format=json";
$getTx json_decode(file_get_contents($jsonData), true);
$totRec $getTx["total_received"];
$convert $totRec 0.00000001;

$finBal $getTx["final_balance"];
$finCon $finBal 0.00000001;

//Most recent tx
$sentAmount $getTx["txs"][0]["out"][0]["value"];
$sentAmountBTC $sentAmount 0.00000001;
$sentBy $getTx["txs"][0]["inputs"][0]["prev_out"]["addr"];

//2nd Most recent tx
$sentAmount2 $getTx["txs"][1]["out"][0]["value"];
$sentAmountBTC2 $sentAmount2 0.00000001;
$sentBy2 $getTx["txs"][1]["inputs"][0]["prev_out"]["addr"];

//3rd Most recent tx
$sentAmount3 $getTx["txs"][2]["out"][0]["value"];
$sentAmountBTC3 $sentAmount3 0.00000001;
$sentBy3 $getTx["txs"][2]["inputs"][0]["prev_out"]["addr"];

//4th Most recent tx
$sentAmount4 $getTx["txs"][3]["out"][0]["value"];
$sentAmountBTC4 $sentAmount4 0.00000001;
$sentBy4 $getTx["txs"][3]["inputs"][0]["prev_out"]["addr"];

Don't feel bad, I made the same mistake when I first started playing around with bitcoin.  My no fee transaction of 0.0001 took about a month and a half to finally get a confirmation  Cheesy
1336  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain used as a database storage system for records to replace MYSQL? on: April 18, 2015, 04:50:47 PM
Do you have bitcoin core or bitcoin-qt? That long wait when you boot up is what would happen when trying to retrieve info from a blockchain type database. MySQL is fast at pulling info. The blockchain though has to validate each block and then parse the data. It would make for a VERY slow and inefficient replacement to your typical database.

Although it's mostly opinion:

  • Encrypted desktop wallet - No
  • blockchain.info - No
  • blockchain.info paper wallet - Wasn't aware they did paper wallets, but since you have to be online for it, no.
  • TREZOR - no comment

Personally, my favorite method is generating a paper wallet OFFLINE and store your coins there.
Sometimes I'll use bitaddress (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=43496.0) the RNG seems pretty reliable with the tracking cursor movement for extra entropy. As long as done all offline and you keep backups it should be very safe.
