261  Bitcoin / Project Development / [BETA] Coinffeine. Distributed Bitcoin exchange. on: June 17, 2015, 10:34:37 AM
Coinffeine has announced that they are already in real-money closed beta and will be in open beta in a few weeks.

http://blog.coinffeine.com/2015/06/17/objective-bitcoin-exchange-china-during-summer/

They aim to have a fully working exchange, that is accessible in 70 countries (including China) from day 1.

Coinffeine allows you to trade bitcoins for fiat, with a full order book, limit and market orders, etc... with No Account Needed. No registration. No giving up personal data.

They never control your coins! You hold them at all times in your own wallet, with your private keys known only to you.


We have been waiting for this for such a long time! It's finally almost here.

(You do have to trust the payment processor that holds the fiat, but you will be able to pick from a number of them... )

Interesting results so far... although I'd wait for at least 100 votes before drawing any conclusions..


I would definitely also use Bitcoin regularly to buy take-out online, if the option was available where I live.
263  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Use cases. What do you actually use Bitcoin for? on: June 11, 2015, 04:45:04 PM
why only two options, this is the kind of poll that require multiple choice, two it seems too restrictive

basically all of them for me, minus dark web and porn

LOL... I wanted to answer 4 too.. but too late to change it. I guess will make respondents prioritise.

Me:

Micropayments (ChangeTip mostly)
Online Shopping  (Travel mostly - I haven't used a card to buy a plane ticket in years)
Speculation   (some trading, some saving)
Web Services  (Domain hosting, etc)
264  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Use cases. What do you actually use Bitcoin for? on: June 11, 2015, 04:32:11 PM
Do you use Bitcoin at least once a month? What do you actually use it for? Why? Is it better, cheaper, faster, more convenient than alternatives? Is it the only option?

If those 120.000+ daily transactions are actually real, there must be thousands of Bitcoin users active every day. What are we actually using Bitcoin for? Are we just true believers or are there real reasons to use Bitcoin instead of other available options?


I figure it's about time that we have a clearer picture of actual Bitcoin use cases. Sure, in a year or two the picture will probably change completely, but it's useful info right now for anyone interested in growing our community.

Please answer in as much detail as possible!

Gracias a empresas como https://btcpoint.com ya se pueden vender bitcoins y sacar Euros desde 10.000+ cajeros en toda España.

Heyyy! Gran Félix!!! En eso de sacar bitcoin en euros primero vino los de btc2me....Pero la verdad es q esta solución, use la empresa q sea, es todo un lujo!

Cierto, cierto. https://bit2me.com fueron primeros.
267  Local / Español (Spanish) / Re: #CALLEBITCOIN MADRID on: May 17, 2015, 05:09:46 PM
¡Qué fácil hubiese sido hacer #callebitcoin hoy en día comparado con hace 1 año!

Gracias a empresas como https://btcpoint.com ya se pueden vender bitcoins y sacar Euros desde 10.000+ cajeros en toda España.

Y gracias a Ingenico (el terminal de punto de venta más utilizado en Europa) basta con añadir un módulo al terminal PdV ya existente para poder cobrar en bitcoins....



Sólo con estas dos novedades nos hubiesemos quitado el 90% de las quejas y el trabajo.

Todos los "¿y yo que hago con los bitcoins ahora?" ¡resueltos!

Todo el tiempo ayudando a los comerciantes a instalar y darse de alta con Bitpay y otros procesadores de pago... ¡ya no hace falta!
268  Local / Servicios / Re: ¡¡Coinffeine Lanzado!! (Technical Preview) on: May 05, 2015, 11:08:09 AM
Ya me gustaría poder aspirar a un mecanismo de compra-venta para € <--> BTC tan rápido y sencillo como lo es https://shapeshift.io/ para compra-venta de criptomonedas.... por desgracia mientras quieras seguir usando € o $ en una pata de la transacción, vas a tener que pasar por el sistema financiero tradicional... y eso supone tratar con bancos y procesadores de pago. Al menos estos últimos tienen tienen APIs que permiten automatizar transacciones.
269  Local / Servicios / Re: ¡¡Coinffeine Lanzado!! (Technical Preview) on: May 05, 2015, 10:54:28 AM
Personalmente mi experiencia de los exchanges es esta: hago una transferencia a Bitstamp, cambio por bitcoins, envío los bitcoins a mi monedero. Todo en cuestión de horas (un día a lo sumo). Con Coinffeine la experiencia será exactamente igual: transferencia a OKPay, cambio por bitcoins, envío a mi monedero. El problema del exchange es que uno no se puede fiar de que no quiebre, lo roben o se quede con la pasta... pero hay algún motivo para confiar más en OKPay? También los bancos quiebran, los roban y se quedan con la pasta!

La ventaja es que con Coinffeine no pierdes control de tus bitcoins... y será compatible con múltiples procesadores de pago, por lo que además de OKPay podrás, en un futuro, escoger otros.

Esto significa que eliminas el riesgo de perder bitcoins, y puedes minimizar mucho el de perder $,€.

El mayor riesgo en la actualidad es que quiebre, cierre o hackeen un exchange. No es imposible, pero es más difícil que cierre una gran empresa tipo Neteller, OKPay, Paypal.. con años de experiencia y millones de usuarios y un modelo de negocio consolidado... a que por cambios legislativos, error o fraude caiga una startup con 2-3 años de vida.

Incluso en Localbitcoins tienes que confiar tus BTC a la empresa al consignarlos a la fianza.


Todavía falta mucho trabajo... pero idealmente en unos meses Coinffeine te permitirá comprar y vender bitcoins en pocos minutos y sin tener que confiar en nadie para guardar tus bitcoins.

Free will makes it impossible to "plan".

No. Free Will means that no plan is infallible and that any long term model must re-adjust periodically to market conditions... this reality-check reduces long-term deviations by correcting the model (or discarding it if tolerance thresholds are exceeded).

Families, companies, individuals plan all the time.

People don't have to act in a predictable way, but most of the time they do... at least in broad strokes. Demand for cars, homes, healthcare, energy... does not normally change overnight... it takes time and happens gradually. When change happens drastically and rapidly... that is when the plan must be adjusted or abandoned.

You know with 99% certainty that you will eat, drink and sleep within the next 48 hours. Those facts will allow you to make certain plans for that time-frame. Similarly you can make predictions, with decreasing certainty, for the next week, month, year... decade even... that will allow you to make some, limited, plans for the future. Obviously subject to the aforementioned periodic reality-checks and readjustments.

Now that Neteller takes Bitcoin... there-s a bunch of forex platforms that take neteller as a funding option which are now just one step away from Bitcoin funding...

273  Economy / Economics / Re: Market Planning on: March 26, 2015, 12:42:41 PM
At first, I thought you were talking about planned economy for a country, then realised you were talking about decision making systems by  modeling a matrix of different outcome. I believe large corporations do that NOW. Investment banks/rating agencies do exactly that to estimate company earnings under normal conditions and changes in market environment.

I read your article, I couldn't catch your argument.

Yes, large corporations do it now. I have studied some of those models. They are far too simple, most have been around for 40 years if not longer. Given the computing power that we have now they could do exponentially better. However before we start coding, it is necessary to build a theoretical framework.
274  Economy / Economics / Re: Market Planning on: March 26, 2015, 11:27:25 AM
You're going to rewrite economics and finance?


Not really trying to go so far. It is more a way to translate accounting and scenario projection to code so that we can use computer programs to explore potential scenarios, decisions and their outcomes, much in the same way that chess programs analyse millions of potential moves. Think of it as Deep Blue meets SAP.

It is not a completely new field, but it is definitely undeveloped and a lot of progress could be made with a moderate amount of effort.

For those people exploring the potential of decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs) it will be a very necessary discipline, and a lot of theoretical groundwork needs to be laid down first.

The major difference between this and central plans is the incorporation of market data (prices, demand, production) as the use of feedback loops to adapt plans to changing market conditions, instead of trying to push on without any regard to real world demand, etc.

As I mention in the introduction, this is already done to a certain extent by companies with their marketing plans and discounted cash-flow projections... but in my experience they never go beyond analysing 3-5 potential scenarios and 3-4 major strategic decisions.. in total they might analyse at most 20 possible outcomes. Using market planning software of the kind I'm describing we could be looking at an analysis of thousands or millions of possible outcomes. It would also mean updating and automatically recalculating the outcome matrix in real time.

Surely you can see the value in that?
275  Economy / Economics / Market Planning on: March 25, 2015, 11:54:03 AM
I've written a short introductory essay on "market planning", a discipline that will be absolutely necessary for the developement of DAOs.

All opinions welcome.

Market Planning

Quote
Central economic planning, despite its practical and theoretical flaws, received a great deal of scientific and technical attention as a discipline in the 20th Century. A great deal of technical talent was devoted to developing the tools and intellectual apparatus of this discipline. Many resources went into the creation of 4-year, 6-year and even longer term economic plans with or without the aid of computers and mathematical models. In a very real sense central economic planning remains alive and well at the world’s central banks and in their attempts to manage a number of economic factors from prices to employment through the practical tools of monetary policy and theoretical models based on the Keynesian-monetarist consensus. Variations on the Phillip’s curve, NAIRU and multiple equilibrium models remain in use, despite their utter failure as empirical or predictive guides in a complex system.
 
Ludwig von Mises in his 1921 book “Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis” was the first to logically demolish the idea of central planning and formulate the economic calculation problem as its central flaw. His student F.A. Hayek would later delve into the reasons why complex systems and spontaneous or emergent orders are so resistant to the conceited efforts of central planners.
 
However the failure of central planning and the complexity of prediction in market systems is by no means a reason to abandon “planning” and the strategic formulation of long term objectives and the means to achieve them. Strategic planning of smaller scope that is related not to entire economies but to families, companies or even personal goals is a reality that we see all around us. The use of models currently used can range from the simplest Discounted Cash Flow spreadsheet to smart company data bases that put central planner’s Project Cybersyn, or the fictional Multivac to shame. As Hayek brilliantly put it “the more the state plans, the more difficult planning becomes for the individual”. Conversely the smaller the scope of the top-down central plan, the farther ahead individuals and groups can set their objectives and can plan ahead to reach them.
 
There is a need for a theoretical framework that will allow us to develop the discipline of long term free market planning*. Current models are antiquated and distorted by the influence of econometric simplification (masquerading as complexity) born of physics-envy that so many economists suffer under. Market planning models should look to sciences dealing with complex emergent orders: biology and meteorology. A market planning model should have the flexibility, tolerance to change and space for trial and error of a gardening project or a selective breeding program. Such a plan must be able to react to changing inputs (mainly prices) by branching off or abandoning complete modules, slowing and speeding up certain branches of the plan as circumstances change. It must have feedback loops in its decision trees and trigger levels for expansion, retrenchment or even the abandonment of the entire plan when tolerance thresholds are exceeded.
 
I do not hope to do more here than merely outline what I believe is a very exciting field that will  require an immense amount of work to become an useful tool for individuals, companies, families... and bring the science of economics back to its rightful place as an everyday tool rather than an academic plaything. If in the 21st Century we see only a fraction of the technical effort devoted in the 20th to central planning, to this new discipline, we can expect incredible results. Market planning software could become as ubiquitous as accounting programs currently are. Market planning algorithms will also be very useful in the creation of DAOs (decentralised autonomous organizations).

Si por lo menos 20 o 30 personas lo piden, seguro que @laneveraroja se anima a aceptar BTC, sobre todo una vez entiendan lo sencillo que es y la ausencia de riesgos.

"En 2015 gastaré 1 btc

Arriesgado Wink. ¿Qué pasa si a finales de enero estamos en $500, a finales de marzo en $800… ?

Sugiero: "En 2015 realizaré al menos 6 pedidos en el primer portal español de comida a domicilio que acepte bitcoin".

Tuitea la versión que más te guste. ¡Pero tuitea!

Cada cual se compromete a lo que quiere. De hecho casi mejor que haya distintas versiones, para que no parezca corta-pega o spam.

Yo ya lo he tuiteado:   https://twitter.com/flix1/status/547368074509549568

Una cosa que podemos hacer todos para animarles a dar el salto, y demostrarles que hay interés es comprometernos a realizar compras en su web cuando acepten Bitcoin.

Por ejemplo, sin 100 personas tuitean el siguiente compromiso:

"En 2015 gastaré 1 btc en el primer portal Español de comida a domicilio que acepte #Bitcoin"  @laneveraroja @JustEat_es @telepizza_es

Sería muy difícil de ignorar.. y los pondría en competencia por ser los primeros.

¿Quién se apunta?
