"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In finance, short selling (also known as shorting or going short) is the practice of selling securities or other financial instruments, with the intention of subsequently repurchasing them ("covering") at a lower price"

I'm no expert but is what Adam doing not "shorting"? Or does shorting have another definition?

No, what adam does is sell with the intention of subsequently repurchasing at a lower price, then buy back at a higher price.

I just checked on Bitcoin Charts Mt Gox order book and see there is a total of only 55367 btc on the ask side. Have the asks ever been this thin before?

Now this is a sight for bullish eyes....

That was very enjoyable to watch that 4k+ wall just be ripped to pieces.

Indeed  Grin

$15 today? Only 10,000btc to go
847  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer - MtGoxUSD wall movement tracker on: January 16, 2013, 10:06:33 PM
if you sell now, you sell for good.
the warning above is still valid.

 Shocked  turning into an interesting week!
849  Economy / Speculation / Re: $30 / BTC by March on: January 15, 2013, 02:04:52 AM
I think it's far more likely that the recent $14.3x will be the 2013 high.

Broken  Cheesy

You seem to be living in the future, price is 14.39

"the recent" would refer to a past price, in this case the recent 14.34999 high I would assume. In that case it has been broken  Smiley

edit: we just hit 14.4  Grin

8700 bid @14.15  Shocked

Gone. And the games begin?  Smiley
851  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: [ANNOUNCE] Electrum - Lightweight Bitcoin Client on: January 13, 2013, 05:59:36 PM
You could try a build from git but if you are not familiar with terminals it might be a bit tricky. I can tell you that there is no reason a future version will suddenly work. It's not a problem with Electrum but the tools used to build a binary version from the Python source. Is there anybody else with the same problem on OS X?

I just tried 1.6.1 with the same result so decided to try some things in the command line. Ran it with -v and got:
localhost:MacOS s$ ./Electrum -v
path /Users/s/.electrum/electrum.dat
Install zbar package to enable QR scans
Illegal instruction: 4

So then I renamed the electrum.dat file and tried to recover my old wallet and got:
localhost:MacOS s$ ./Electrum -v
path /Users/s/.electrum/electrum.dat
Install zbar package to enable QR scans
Using random server...
electrum.no-ip.org:50001:t
electrum.bitcoin.cz:50001:t
missing tx []
Illegal instruction: 4

Finally I deleted the electrum.dat file and this time created a new wallet and it seems to fail in a similar manner except this time 5 new addresses were generated before the crash. Is there anything here that might lead to a solution? Is there anything else I can try?


I wonder if this is perhaps QT related. Can you try to start ./Electrum -g text and see if that does start?

Edit: For those on 10.8 and up, this applies to Electrum as well. I only noticed this now because I already switched this as soon as I got my laptop and then forgot about it. I will see where I can add this to the site.

No joy, same error message. I see "Synchronising..." at the bottom left then it crashes with the illegal instruction 4 again

5000+ dump. Took it down to 13.97 but the bids were back up to 14.21 within a minute or two

I'm smelling the me.ga effect here.

what is me.ga?

Kim Dot Com's new file storage locker service.   mega.co.nz

thanks.  how does one who was thrown in prison under such a high profile incident recover so quickly?

When both governments involved in the case are total fuckups  Smiley

There was a rumour going around that his service will accept bitcoin payments

is Kim free?

Here's a timeline, a good chuckle: http://www.listener.co.nz/commentary/the-internaut/kim-dotcom-megaupload-new-zealand-timeline/

We just had over 7000btc get bought in a short space of time and it's early morning in the US so it's going to be interesting to see what happens next
859  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer - MtGoxUSD wall movement tracker on: January 10, 2013, 06:46:43 AM
If $14 falls will we see 15?

X-mas/New Year is over and everyone with money for bitcoins is tired of waiting for the price drop that isn't coming fast enough, if at all?
