This means MtGox is not suitable for small amounts or casual users at all.



How so? You only need to do AML verification if you want to withdraw more than 400BTC or $1000USD per 24 hours. I would hardly call anyone exceeding this a small or casual user.

This is not true. There are unknown triggers.

If you go to the settings page I saw you cannot connect through TOR or proxies. I did not see this anywhere else but it would be my guess as why some people claim "unknown" triggers. This should be better documented and perhaps even on the main page before you log in. If you were using a proxy for watching online tv in another country and forget to disable it then that could cause it.

Now you just need nagle and you got all your permabears

Me? Ahahah someone hasn't been paying attention. Let's count... hm.

Since I joined, I have been bull 60% of the time, but bear only 40% of the time. I switched camps four times. I was actually still fairly bullish mid-December, when you were long on here already.

If being bearish for more than three weeks makes one a "permabear", the terminology is a little deceiving, isn't it? Wink

Is your name Nagle?

I can now log in by my invalids are insane (5%). It would appear I would have been better to keep mining at Deepbit. I guess this is partly my fault for trying to use it so soon after a DDOS.

Did they ask you to pull the episode of The Good Wife?

I guess this is always a possibility but it doesn't mean their lawyers are on the site. The show just did a bit on bitcoins and the shows producers may have been monitoring the forums to see our reaction. This producer (or someone else affiliated with the show) probably saw the thread and took appropriate action. It's unfortunate but posting it on here was completely unnecessary since it was posted on the CBS website immediately after.

"The video you have requested is not available for your geographic region."

Yes, it was necessary. I still don't understand why the media industry treats the digital world, the internet, the old fashioned way. Geographic borders? On the internet? Really?

Find a US proxy and you can watch it.
i thought our motto was "lose the intermediary" so +1 Mushoz.
Why can't i view the show from Spain ? i perfectly understand English if CBS thinks that it might hurt my hearing or something
I am from Canada and we can't even watch it. I used to live in a border city so it was literally less than a km to where I would be "allowed" to watch it online. I think it is silly but a proxy will still allow you to watch it.

Another reason you might need to verify is if you connect through a proxy or the TOR network which you would probably only be doing if you were up to no good. At first I wondered what was going on here but the more I look into it the more of a non issue it is. Amounts over this could very well be used for money laundering.


With all this MTGox needs to get their stuff together! That api charting problem and system lock up yesterday was completely unacceptable and I have seen no official explanation. This is what would drive users away more so than a verification process that is required for bigger players only. EXPLANATION PLEASE MTGOX!

Allo gentlemen,

Well its obvious to me that there are pro-lamer DMCA lawyers lurking around the forum now.

What do you think brought them here? (besides the piracy)

I was wondering if theyre utilizing some type of software to search throughout all forums listed on google for keywords (XViD-LoL, etc)?

Anyone have any ideas what kinds of tools these lamers are utilizing?

Cheers,
James


How do you figure they are lurking around the forums? I am unsure of how you came to this conclusion but would be interested to hear it.

As for the piracy I don't know what you speak of. I have seen no piracy occur on these forums.

I can't even buy a measly 5 BTC for over 3 hours?  C'mon Zhou!  ****************************************



Go long on the Gox instead?

+1

I wish so many people didn't leverage themselves in this market because it brings too much volatility. At the same time when those who are leveraged get liquidated there is a large portion of the community including myself who are there to help stabilize it. We buy when it drops and sell when it rises. It is very profitable and you will never get liquidated because you are never trading with more than you have.


Gox doesn't have margin trading but you can go "long" by buying bitcoins.

Can anyone say... Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs)! Hardware-based token storage! Fingerprints! Dedicated SSL appliances!
This is fun, I can go on all day. Grin

Yeah which is why I asked how one could easily MITM a https site.  I guess it was too subtle.

CRL's would only work if they knew it had been hijacked. Kind of like how a 0day exploit will usually only work once since it will be found and patched after it has been used.

I can once again mine but am also getting the bad gateway message. Are there any plans on rolling back the fees since you said they were implemented because you had become reliable. I have lost about 15 hours of mining due to your outage. I will also take partial responsibility for this because I did not set a fallback pool.
573  Economy / Speculation / Re: Weekly RSI and PVT on: January 18, 2012, 01:35:18 PM
Keep dreaming.

Oh, I can do!

Look at the PVT graph. Right now it shows the same tops as when we were at $30.
This mean that $7 is a new local top.

And in principle we can go 95% down as in previous time.
This will give us ~$0.5 per BTC

This will be ok for FPGA miners, because they spent only $0.35 per BTC for energy and maintenance (and the difficulty will be lower than now).

Im afraid the numbers you are looking at are reactionary and not necessarily indicative of future performance. I don't see any similarities except PVT is down slightly due to the drop in price (reactionary). RSI on your chart never even approached overbought so any drops should not be anywhere near as severe.
574  Economy / Speculation / Re: Weekly RSI and PVT on: January 18, 2012, 01:23:55 PM
Weekly RSI is not in "oversold" zone yet. Let's go below $1





Keep dreaming.

MtGox's HTTPS will prevent any MITM attack unless the attacker compromises a CA or something.

Just curious theymos, what is your take on what was going on with all the charts when it was cycling in a loop between 6 and 7? After about 25 minutes those cycles were erased and the market sat at 6 until orders that were placed during the swings on the charts were executed.  Anything is possible and I have never seen anything like what happened today.

I will tell you exactly what happened today.  Ready?

Actually, gox just uses a queue with timestamps.  Their order matcher can fall behind during busy times.

When the queue is busy, everyone sees huge price swings and they try to place orders, but their orders are going to the queue, not the market.  The swings you are seeing right now on mtgoxlive.com are at least several minutes old already, possibly much older, and everyone frantically clicking their trade buttons and the bots scrambling to make sense of things are just making it worse.

I gave a much longer answer to (more or less) this same question several months ago.  Feel free to dig it out of my post history.  And, just to repeat myself:

It must be hell to be alive today with no clue about how anything at all really works.

Those swings were not real since they did not show up on the chart after. There was something that happened and it wasnt that. If it was simply that they were old the lines from the back and forth would be there. They disappeared as soon as trading became active again.

other thread seems to be locked, just spent a half hour reading it though

Oh My God


!

Very entertaining eh? (Yes I am Canadian) Zhoutong even replied to him twice which shows good faith on his part IMO.
577  Economy / Speculation / Re: More action on: January 18, 2012, 06:28:43 AM
Just made me another $4 (3%) without bitcoinica or leverage on these swings. I must say I like this volatility but I need to sleep!

Correction:
3% on my cash while maintaining my bitcoin balance.
578  Economy / Speculation / Re: Round 2: Fight! on: January 18, 2012, 06:26:58 AM
Looks like this will be our new trading range for a while:




That would be very profitable. The spread is bound to become very narrow soon.

I haven't googled anything and am going completely by memory. I rarely ever use wikipedia and especially not for technical matters. If you want to fake a handshake you will need to spoof IP and mac addresses. I am afraid it is you who doesn't know WTF you are talking about.

By the way Theymos, this thread is getting out of control and has nothing to do with the OP so feel free to lock it.
Then maybe you should start using Google. First off, just to get past the TCP handshake you need to be able to capture the response. As for the SSL handshake, you need the site's private key, otherwise all you'll get back is gibberish. And without knowing what that gibberish decrypts to, you can't send a response that will make any sense to the client. Since you are apparently good at cracking private keys, why don't you just start taking bitcoins?

Edit: I think my SSL is actually backward, and it's the client that sends their encryption key using the site's pubic key to encrypt it. But, that's just semantics.

This is all irrelevant to the OP once again. It would be possible to fake if someone got the cert from MTGox. They were hacked in the past and stolen certs is part of how the Stuxnet virus worked. I haven't hacked in a while and have no intention to do so any time soon. Stealing Bitcoins is a lot harder than MTIM for MTGox API and if someone could do it, it would have been done by now. I am not a thief either so even if I could I wouldn't out of morality.

It would be nice if MTGox put out a statement directly saying what happened when the API was cycling between 6 and 7 then disappeared. It would also put any speculation to rest.

I was worried while that was happening that the site was being hacked in some way and was shitting my pants about the relatively small amount of money and bitcoins i have on there. I still have them on there if that tells you something.
