trollbox is the best thing that ever happened to cryptocurrency daytrading are you kidding me?
yes, some people might not have any common sense and be suckered, but the amount of info I get about everything in the bitcoin community through that trollbox is tremendous, don't you take my trollbox, if you don't like it go to vircurex
another one is coming and I hear it'll have a trollbox too crypto-trade.com in 8 days
also I'm thinking about developing a crypto-currency exchange company, and putting a skype webcam box in so you can see everyone's faces and hear people yelling. it would be insane. that would be like trollbox 2.0
hellz yeah. trollbox is effin great. skype cam would be the shiz-nit. clowns in there randomly yell "ARISE CHIKUN," but you get to see them do it. +100000000 um... yeah, I'm just not into watching a whole bunch of fat guys in their underwear and unwashed hair, in dark room, shouting "ARISE CHIKUN" and acting all mental... I'll just stick to the trollbox. -- Smoov

Just got a great suggestion from the troll box. A feature to ignore people would be very good. So basically if so one is spamming the same thing over and over again and being annoying you just ignore them.
The ability to ignore has been asked for for over a year now... they've given it the same priority as they do finishing the notifications... -- Smoov

The issue as we understand it (and there is not much information being released from the Terracoin dev):
TRC is unrecoverable without ASIC assistance. Well, that's exaggerating it a tad... It'll take a long time until next retarget, sure, but hardly "unrecoverable"... -- Smoov

The trollbox is the only reason I stay logged in there all day, and watch the trading...
Without it, the rest of the incomplete features that I use, but are useless in their present form? I wouldn't be trading there at all.

Not real. I just want it to be clear. Is that "Not real." in reply to the question about the twitter account that keeps posting right now? That is not being controlled by Vircurex? Has nothing to do with Vircurex? -- Smoov

JayCoin's motives were noble I'm sure but I never quite got the point of joining a pool that's nothing more than a node in p2pool. It defeats the whole purpose of p2pool which is DDOS-resistance.
P2Pmining's focus was 2-pronged... First, it allowed smaller miners to still participate with p2pool without the big variance headache. P2Pmining would earn shares of its own on the p2pool network, same as any miner, but it also ran its own share system, to further subdivide the p2pool payouts proportionally among the P2Pmining userbase. This worked well for small miners that only had a couple hundred MH/s to work with. The other focus was it also facilitated merge-mining for the userbase, saving them from having to run 4 or 5 different daemons at the same time on top of their own p2pool node. IMHO, P2Pmining was nice to have. I usually had my miners set up to round-robin between my own p2pool instance, P2Pmining, and BTCGuild. What P2Pmining offered me at the time was that it was also merge-mining DVC, which I couldn't merge-mine locally as there wasn't a windows binary daemon for it, although there is one now. As more ASICs hit the scene, P2Pmining would have become even more important for GPU miners, who are finding it harder to hold onto the shares they generate as their orphan rate climbs. (the TRC p2pool was having this problem when I got fed up and segregated my own TRC p2pool network so it didn't touch the main network... some very high hash miners just kept orphaning 75-80% of my shares, sometimes a whole minute later, and there weren't any more than 7 or 8 connected nodes at the time. Latency of basically empty blocks and a small p2pool network, shouldn't have been an issue at all, but those high rate miners just overwhelm the lower rate ones... and I can't confirm it, but I also think one of them was intentionally ignoring shares of others, only building on their own, but that is beyond this topic) P2Pmining just helped with scale. As the p2pool network difficulty climbs, P2Pmining was a way to still offer lower difficulty shares without having to have the whole p2pool network change to accommodate it. -- Smoov

I'm also in this situation, and at this point, I am unable to keep the repayment schedule, no matter how I try to do the math it isn't possible... the remainder of the payments on my loan are going to be late... and the more the exchange rate rises, the later they will be.
Nothing else I can do... sucks... I barely stayed on time as it is.
I considered the possibility of BTC rising to 20 USD, or 30 USD on the outside... almost 110 USD? WAY beyond any schedule I can keep.
At the current price, it is 1000% more than what I cashed out the BTC from my loan for, not including the loan interest itself.
-- Smoov Then you deserve a scammer tag, cause that is bitcoins, you know it could do that, you accepted that risk when you took out a loan. This also takes away from the people that are paying on time, all my loans are coming in no issues. No I don't... The scammer tag belongs to those who set out to defraud from the start. It doesn't get tacked onto people who are making an honest effort to honor his obligations, but due to circumstances beyond his control, is no longer able. If I just walked away, with no more effort to repay, not even bothering to communicate? Then yes, you can make an argument for the scammer tag. This isn't that situation, and your position completely ignores realities that can't just be tossed aside. -- Smoov

Question What coins to add?
1. Terracoin 2. PPCoin 3. Freicoin
Far as I'm concerned, we have plenty of coins already... could probably do with one less in fact... What I'd be more interested in, is additional trading pairs. NMC/LTC, more than anything else... -- Smoov ps: isn't it about time the email notifications were finished? also include the trading pair label on the web notifications? I hate to keep bringing this up at every opportunity, but we've been waiting a very long time now...

Seems like the soaring exchange rate has encouraged many to "forget" to make payments. I'm done with unsecured loans.
Understood - but for some people who borrowed and used the money in real economic endevours, the rates now on repayment exceed loan sharks. More specifically, when pegged to real currency, the loan violate many jurisdictions usuary laws since given the currency exchange the "interest" is now in excess of 400%. At the same time I can understand the argument that these are pure BTC loans and no reference to local currency should be made. I think that ignores the real world of getting BTC to fund real world tasks which often requires the conversion. I am in this situation. I won't go into detail here though. I'm also in this situation, and at this point, I am unable to keep the repayment schedule, no matter how I try to do the math it isn't possible... the remainder of the payments on my loan are going to be late... and the more the exchange rate rises, the later they will be.

That's not true!
@ btc-e.com
You say that BTC withdrawals attract fixed 0.01 BTC fee - but I know that's not true!
I just withdrew some BTC - I have requested withdrawal of 0.161 BTC, your website indicated that I will receive 0.16 BTC, but you actually sent me 0.1551 BTC
In addition to lying, you are also stealing from me!
Explain!
Numbers are rounded on BTC-E on display but are processed to the last satoshi, I find it inconvenient (this is not intuitive and I had to stop on the withdrawal page to understand exactly what was about to happen) but they don't cheat you. 0.1551 rounded to the next cent is 0.16. If they sent you 0.1551, you probably requested a withdrawal of 0.1651. If I were you I'll lookup the history to check. Alright, this is the kind of thing that sets off my pet peeve when dealing with financials... <peeve> Ya wanna round to 4 digits where you're showing the balance on the Buy LTC and Sell LTC parts of the trade page? Well, ok... it annoys me, but I'm not pissed about that, because I can easily click on it to find out the real number... But on the withdrawl page? I don't want to see rounded numbers. I want the real numbers that I'm dealing with. The exchange is handling my money, and I want the real number down to the last satoshi. I don't need to explain it, or justify it, beyond the fact that it is _MY_ _MONEY_. Don't just go rounding off the numbers because it is convenient for you. You have to give us the real numbers every single time, and the only time you should be rounding a number is if you can justify it about why it HAS to be rounded, and why you don't have any other choice available, but to round it. </peeve> -- Smoov

Do you have any plans for obtaining more shares as well?
Such as... are 100% of dividends paid by those funds, being passed through to us, or is there a percentage being retained by the fund to be used for re-investment? I do not have any plans for obtaining more shares right now. 100% of the dividends will be passed through (less the ~.001BTC network fee). The fund also owns 37 shares of Bitbond, which currently doesn't pay any dividends. I'm contemplating liquidating those shares and paying out the proceeds as an additional dividend. That's a shame... hope you reconsider in the future and look into planned reinvestment. Or, perhaps use the funds from liquidating those shares, to invest into another more favorable project? -- Smoov

Did you start work implementing disposable deposit addresses IIRC it was a popular idea. It was a popular idea. I created a test wallet and modeled a year's worth of projected deposits, the results were bad. The wallet grew to an unmanagable size. So I need a custom bitcoin client if I'm going to do it, one that uses a regular db backend or something that I can scale linearly. Easier said than done I'm afraid. Someone want to start a project to back bitcoind with couchbase? Could this be something optional for us? Personally I prefer staying with a static deposit address. Keeps my address book tidy. The sites that use throwaway deposit addresses just annoy me. -- Smoov
