The only thing in a bubble is fiat dollars.

As long as you take "fiat dollars" as your primary currency, your statement is either wishful thinking or plain bull. After all the "overpricing" of gold is actually measurable in those "fiat dollars", just like the overpricing of bitcoin about 1 month ago.
1642  Economy / Speculation / Aftermath of Panic on: August 08, 2011, 08:42:11 PM
First what was the cause of all this panic? Doubt it was MyBitcoin issue, as BTC was still OK way after mbc went offline. But when someone injected a large amount of BTC in MtGox many others freaked out out of the blue, selling with higher and heavy losses. Wonder what were those weak links doing around... causing mass deflation and now mass inflation?!
Are within those guys those who promptly came up with bashing because "BTC was trending up" (and will never stop... so they think) when I started to discuss about a secondary blockchain, leaving the current one to be chew within speculation?
Doesn't quite matter now, anyway...

Now, what about the future?
IMO we will experience a much stable bitcoin for a while, lose, at least, of greedy and weak links who manages pretty much than create unstable high deflationary / high inflationary economies with their lousy moves. Eventually they will return... will be up to the community to manage to prevent market maneuvers.
1643  Economy / Speculation / Re: PANIC! on: August 08, 2011, 08:00:48 PM
I'm going to go ahead and suggest that the crossover potentially signals a market bottom, just because we've been in a steady downtrend for two months and this is the first time that something has changed.
The difficulty and hash rate are on different scales in that graph. There is no "crossover".
But the scales are matched to where difficulty = estimated difficulty at X MH/s.

Nope, that's not what the other than red (difficulty) line means, the other 3 lines means "Computer power allocated" and that graph shows that many miners are leaving, nothing else.

(ultimately that may mean also that less coins will be generated, blocks will take longer to generate and therefore transactions will be slower to confirm)
1644  Economy / Speculation / Re: PANIC! on: August 08, 2011, 07:59:16 PM
uhhh, all it means is that difficulty is going to drop

That gives more coins/Hash at next difficulty DROP. And that gives the opportunity for miners to sell more bitcoins/day, making even more money from the direct USD (fiat currency) buyer that doesn't understand economics.

My new price target is 3 dollars if the difficulty drop continues.

There's NEVER a difficulty "drop" in bitcoin. Difficulty just raises as the number of coins increase.
1645  Economy / Speculation / Re: Gold bubble on: August 08, 2011, 07:39:36 PM
There's no bubble in gold. Charts are nicely controlled by the big boys. JPM said 2500 in 6 months, everyone else will agree and they will run it up no problem.

show me a bubble

LOL! Like if you can "show" anybody a bubble BEFORE it blasts. This is like guys telling and betting when BTC would reach 50 USD back when it was raising to 30...
If things manage to settle in the fiat currencies side, I can show you the gold bubble tomorrow, if it takes more a few months, will be then... either way expect losses on gold pretty soon.
1646  Economy / Speculation / Gold bubble on: August 08, 2011, 07:27:10 PM
Well... not the time of bitcoin, as it seams. This is the time for gold to become a bubble, reaching now 1.700 USD/oz.

In these times of fiat failure everything one can grab to avoid it just turns to bubbles quite easily. Btc will kick of again, but probably the next bubble will be silver after this one on gold blasts.

Their biggest problem is that Apple out-did them in their own game. Their OS is both more secure and more user friendly than Windows.

Hardly! Apple is about "fashion", an Apple user is more concern if the Apple's logo is well sticked to the computer rather than if it's a double-priced PC. Also their OS is far from impressive either on usability or software availability.
But hey! Back when Windows won the World it was the other way around; Windows was damn unsafe and user unfriendly than MacOS...

Linux is a big threat to them in the server space but not in desktop.

Linux keeps doing wrong turns, the only one coming close to threat Windows, Lindows, was sued by Microsoft... they got it covered. I wonder if the new look of Ubuntu wasn't input by MS hired spies to grant that thing sinks before become any threat to Windows.

Not what seams, the user or pass are wrong.
If any have special chars like $ or " or ' try to change it in the config like:

$btcpass = "ajhgs$sjh";

to

$btcpass = 'ajhgs$sjh';

if has ' escape it, like $btcpass = 'kljah\'jkjd';

Sooooo... someone set up a wall @ 10 and try to byte them by 0.25 btc at the time?

Ha. The place where I get my groceries doesn't require me to walk past a cashier in the first place.

I guess this means; I'm still leeching my parents...
1651  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [Pre Alpha] PHPCoin on: August 06, 2011, 08:18:42 PM
Not quite, if I want it that way I would do it in such way in the first place.
The full bitcoind info is meant to go on the admin panel, not in the user frontend.
1652  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [Pre Alpha] PHPCoin on: August 06, 2011, 07:34:30 PM
Would it be possible to add list of address for each of the accounts, and maybe a list of transactions for each account (although I guess blockexporer is pretty much the same thing)?

Sry, went to sleep a bit.
On your issue, the idea is as follow: on that drop down on main page you will be able to switch the current account (Account you're viewing), so the address shown and movements will be of the currently foregrounded account. Currently (before went to sleep that is) I'm doing the form for people to add more accounts, this directive in the config table: user_l_accounts sets the nr. of accounts as user can have under the same login.
1653  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How can I tell if Bitcoind is working? on: August 06, 2011, 05:49:53 PM
try changing this:

rpcallowip=173.237.234.100

to this:

rpcallowip=*

(it opens your bitcoind to the world [provinding the correct user/pass], so use it with a wallet.dat empty or nearly empty)
1654  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How can I tell if Bitcoind is working? on: August 06, 2011, 05:43:56 PM
Had you create a bitcoin.conf file within your data dir?
Also make sure there's a line server=1 and rpcallowip=0.0.0.0 at bitcoin.conf
1655  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [Pre Alpha] PHPCoin on: August 06, 2011, 05:31:36 PM
You should modify your files to allow a different IP and Port to RCP (I've already made the changes for me to test).

Will start the VM  (where I develop it) and do some more work, along with that change. Thank you for the feedback.
1656  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How I would destroy bitcoin if I was a goverment on: August 06, 2011, 01:43:02 PM
USA wont be downgraded.. look at the companies that do the ratings, they all got handouts in 2008/9.
hrm.

He was just believing that US could keep raising its debt to the infinite by increasing debt ceiling, way beyond any possible payment, without any penalty...

@OP that's the FUD Microsoft etc spread around in the time they were attacking Linux.

FUD?! For their users universe Windows is a pretty damn secure OS. I wonder what would be with Linux holding 90% of the desktop computers around the globe!
People then come up with virus, trojan, whatever as argument, however you forget that the ones doing it do it for the major audience. They're way more up to infect someone in a 90% universe with loads of newbie users than in one of 5% with loads of nerds. Actually you already have virus targeting Firefox...

Ubuntu however was going in the right direction, up to the last version when they decided to screw it up big time. Yes, you can switch to classic, but most of the users by seeing that will take "Windows" for the "classic". Lucky Bill Gates...
1658  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [Pre Alpha] PHPCoin on: August 06, 2011, 12:13:44 PM
I downloaded and installed the pre-alpha on a VPS.  I can't get it to communicate with my bitcoind install (throws an error regarding that after I log in to the account I registered), but another script I wrote based on bitcoin-php worked just fine.  Any ideas?

What error is that? Did you set up rightly the $btcuser and $btcpass to match your rpcuser/rpcpass?
1659  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [Pre Alpha] PHPCoin on: August 06, 2011, 12:10:01 PM
Looks great. How do you plan to continue?

The following features are still missing for it to be released as beta:

1) Schedule and recurring payments

2) Admin menu

3) Account creation

4) Address book

Then just need to create some docking modules, like:

SCI, MtGox/TH, etc...

The idea was to provide a GUI for users installing Bitcoin in a minimal Linux VM. Like: you install a Debian 6 in a VM, no X, install this script to manage the wallet in that Virtual Machine. Obviously it can also operate as an e-Wallet, that's why I put that in the VPS
1660  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [Pre Alpha] PHPCoin on: August 06, 2011, 03:42:10 AM
OK, I'll repick this project, but before, here's a preview of it working:

http://88.198.142.82/index.php

or

https://88.198.142.82/index.php (self-signed cert)

Now, please note [IMPORTANT]:

- I rented that cinfu VPS FOR TESTING ONLY, it's rented for ONE MONTH until 5th Sep

Do not store there large btc amounts! (You'd been warned!)

For those with theories about SQLi and alike: HERE'S YOUR CHANCE! Grab it and prove it! Feel free to do it.  Wink

There're no changes between this install and what I put available for download, other than the config files, obviously.
