Anyone ever read Benjamin Graham's Intelligent Investor?
I got 1/2 way through and thought it was far too technical at the time for me to fully understand.

Dooglus, are you able to provide records to substantiate account balances should this go to court? I have screenshots, but given that these can be photoshopped, it would be good to have more substantial evidence. Also, I am looking into buying other peoples debt so that it justifies the cost of pursuing legal action. I need to make sure that I can collect on debt obtain through voucher transfer subsequent to the halting of trading. Again, I am keeping screenshots, but the definite record of this is run by WBX.
I'm sorry to say that I no longer have admin access to the exchange. I don't know when my account stopped being an admin account, but I just logged in to check that I could still see balances before telling you that I could, and found that I no longer can. The most recent copy of the statement for all users I have is from "2:14:54pm 20-Mar", server time, and the most recent copy of user balances is from "2:13:48pm 20-Mar" server time. So some time in the last month my account was downgraded from an admin account to a regular one. Dooglus (Chris right?), Assuming you still have FTP access to the server, you can get a copy of the SQL database which it runs off. This will have all the information you need. If you can view the files assuming you programmed them, look in the config or the database class for the username and password. Then run flat selects from all of the main tables into flat file dumps. Happy to help with this as the code is all opensource and as you know I'm a developer. |

Thanks. Tip welcome: 1TipMEDeqWT1VUmmhH3rmkVrkA4KYRk2C  I've also been looking into the procedures for complaints to the Office of Fair Trading and filing claims with QCAT. Claims to QCAT cost $95 for dispute amounts from $1,000 to $10,000. My amount is just over $1,000. I'm not sure if you can group claims, but the maximum claim they deal with is $25,000. Claims over $3,000 are referred to mediation first. To achieve economy of scale, I will point out again that I am willing to buy WBX debt. Contact me or look for my other thread on it for details. Hats off to you brendio. Great work. A generous tip will be on its way to you when I get home. I was about to file a case at the office of fair trading: http://www.fairtrading.qld.gov.au/online-complaint-form.htmWould it be better to file one at QCAT? Can you point me to the details of buying WBX debt. I'm interested as I'm fairly busy, however I'm still happy to go ahead and file an independent claim, if I go down this route, happy to work with you. My claim amount is substantial. |

I'm curious,
why do you want this raw data?
Analyze how the distribution of trade amount changes over time. I wouldn't mind hearing about your findings after you crunch the numbers if you are willing to share. |

I'll take this convo back to a past convo related to M-PESA. If someone can get bitcoins to where they can be "texted" then you might be able to compete and even give some lower fees than this existing 15 million user base system of texting to pay your grocery bill (and any other store/person) in Kenya.
I'm pretty sure something like this may be in development or already exist, but if that picks up and saves some fees, then we could start cracking into those non banked market share.
Correct: http://mobilemoneyafrica.com/category/news/south-africa/page/2/ABSA (Barclays) bank is/has implemented this in Africa. The concept is Mobile Banking whereby your bank account is linked to your mobile phone and small payments can be sent quickly and easily within existing infrastructure. |

There are lots of metrics in favour of Bitcoin like the one in Forbes that said the black market is worth 10 trillion dollars and they need a global currency or if only 1% of global transactions went though Bitcoin each coin would be worth ~$64,000.
But this is my favourite:
80% of the worlds population do not have a bank account.
Thats 5.6 Billion people on earth do not have a bank account, let alone a credit card.
20 Million adults in the U.S don't have bank accounts.
1 Million adults in the U.K don't have bank accounts.
Liking the first stat, but yeah as the others said about your second stat. If they don't have a bank account, they're probably too poor to afford a computer or a smartphone to even use bitcoin. Bit of a shame really. Fiat money will always be more accessible to these people than bitcoin. Out of interest, how big is silkroad these days? Still growing in userbase and listings? |

Hell with calling it a hobby! Call it research and that you're writing an in-depth white paper on Bitcoin: Yes, at the moment my position is positive, but I'm hoping to experience negativity, thus giving my paper cred. If I fail, and my position continues to spiral upwards--beyond my control--I will claim my ill gotten gains the next time I choose to file my taxes.
~Bruno~
And when you finish you can show them the result of your reasearch: A true white paper!  Loooool |

Technomage makes some excellent points. it's always helpful to define the outer bound extremes and his example of just 2 nodes and a corresponding healthy Bitcoin market is helpful.
...
whether you like it or not, most ppl are hoarding Bitcoin right now as a store of value. but that doesn't mean it can't act like a currency one day as it has all the right properties to become so even more than gold.
+1. I used to use my wallet client often in the early days. Now I never use it as my bitcoin is kept at various brokers and transferred between them without the client. One thing that has definitely increased over time is the number of transactions I make, this is regardless of my wallet usage. |

It's bullshit when people jump on a bitcoin site operator whenever they are getting pushed around by the banks.
The exchange operator gets scammed, and people blame the victim? You have to wonder if the people complaining are the same ones who used the phished bank accounts.
I mean, if I was part of the established banking system, I would use phished bank accounts myself just so that I could reverse the charges later and screw over the exchange, then I would get on here and bad mouth the exchange operator.
The issue at the heart of the matter is the same as its been from the beginning: How do you reconcile non reversible BTC payments with reversible fiat bullshit controlled by TPTB??
SOLUTION: If you start such an exchange, run your bank accounts as dry as possible. Withdraw extra funds and trade a portion of it to gold (pecunix accounts?). Have as many possible accounts under different names and corporations as you can. Don't let the banks know that the different accounts are all yours.
Bottom line is, if you're going to succeed as an exchange that trades with bank deposit money, you're either going to have to completely sell out to their rules, or go to great lengths to fool them.
NO. Andre, the "site operator" in light of the scams could have this situation resolved. Instead he has taken and refused to return the hard earned funds of all of his remaining clients. Its been months with little/no contact and what could essentially be misinformation. |

This weeks book!  my c++ is already full of exceptions, thanks. That's what I'm trying to avoid! Sarcasm in a book title? |

Decent analysis. I'd like to see this as a standardised indicator going forward although you'd have to be weary of those who want to manipulate the data. At the minute I doubt it would be manipulated as there is little incentive to do something like that right now...

Whats NZBMatrix? Some kind of file distribution network? It wont let you see anything without signing up.

Thats a great idea. Is it kind of like Digg or Google's +1 but with a real money tip?
If I were you I'd remove the adverts off your website until you have gained a decent amount of followers.
