Ok. Unless someone else can come up with a reason against, I herewith call the meeting for the 27th afternoon in Dublin. Any suggestions for the location? I haven't lived in Dublin for 20 years, so I don't know what hotel might have a decent lounge and a good but reasonably priced restaurant.
If there are enough of us (say, more than 5), I'd say to meet for lunch, maybe tea & sandwiches from the bar, and if anyone's has anything particular to say we could rig up a timetable with informal seminars delivered from a laptop. More likely, if there only 3-5 of us, then we'll meet around 4pm and just chat.
Are there any miners operating in Ireland?
Im down for the 27th, my suggestion for the rendezvous location: The Bull & Castle - it's pretty central, they have long tables so everyone can talk to eachother , the beer is good and the food is good but not special. whaddyizreckon? |

18 buyers v 2 (potential) sellers
I think there might be a rally. At least at the start.
Nope. the big guy with 25k+ BTC, which was hacked, will let you buy as much as you want. what do you mean by that? |

Just trying to get an idea of what will happen when the market opens. I am thinking that, somewhat counter-intuitively, bitcoin will make gains against $ since many people will want to withdraw in bitcoins and not cash, so a lot of buy orders will come in pushing the market up.
thoughts?

I would just like to say thanks to Mike and the google people for doing this. I didn't have the same password for google, so I was fine but I am glad you had the sense to take the necessary steps to mitigate the danger of a wider breach.
edit: oh and super pissed with mtgox right now. what kind of a dog and pony show are they running over there?

really? FFS
I ask a relevant question. someone jacks the thread with something he easily could have looked up and still no answer.
so, to repeat:
can I buy USD on tradehill from another tradehill user?
|
|
|
|
|
anyone know if it is possible to buy USD on tradehill the same way as mtGox?
|
|
|

I guess it depends whether you can transfer $s from one account to another internally on tradehill - couldn't find anything about that on their site.
Any ideas?

Let me guess - you're a teenager with fairly well off parents who thinks he's figured it all out with the sheer brilliance of his own sparkling intellect.
Your sneering narrative voice is a dead giveaway.
I have no opinion on Atlas (actually I think he is a good guy  ), though personally I hate the Objectivist philosophy (a great watch that articulates my feelings well is the recent Adam Curtis doc called 'All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace'), but man have I met a lot of the type of libertarian you describe. They are the bane of the reddit economics and politics boards. |

hardly its point to joke on that kind of clandestine operations.
its SO usual, so almost 3/4 of middle east political/military leaders is replaced by agents in disguise/surgery. for example.
so Gavin can be victim of such attack. and not from only CIA. en-route.
So? We will know he's been replaced when the coding suddenly becomes very poor (or there are no new updates at all for weeks). Or do you propose that they can not only replace Gavin with an agent but also transfer his "skillz" via some brain transfer interface? why replicant/infiltrator/insurgent/mimic should/can/must/might produce "very poor" code ? agents usually can perform better than prototypes and trained for months, even years before insertion/replace. Seriously though, who the fuck are you? I didn't recognise your name and then went to check your stats: Date Registered: May 20, 2011, 02:47:27 am Posts: 665 (26.600 per day) W.T.F.? |

1. you are proposing a Plunge Protection Team for bitcoin? That conspiracy theorists will have a field day! Seriously: you are talking about a central authority, which is not going to gain much traction in the community as it is pretty much opposite to the philosophy of bitcoin. 2. I think you are right, or at least I think it would be 'better' if there was some kind of guarantee in the case of massive hack. I think it would be a really different type of company though, think about it: if there were a security breach then users would have to be identified before they could be paid their 'compensation', that means that the users would have to be officially identified by the MtGox company, using proper ID etc. There are many MtGox users that would not like that. As you quite often hear around here, why not set up an exchange and try to provide the protection you describe above?  |

I see that this happen time to time. I think it is simply delay on websocket interface. I have no idea how many connection that websocket interface has, but I believe it can be in thousands.
I don't know whether your explanation for the fault is accurate. At least it didn't seem to me that it was a delay. I saw a half hour of the price being up to $3 more than the feed and then within minutes being $3 less (of a different price) - this six dollar swing was happening while the price was spiking on the feed (as shown in the image above). This is a pretty serious issue no matter what is causing it. And right now MtGox is down again. This really doesn't make one confident of trading there  |

I noticed this (and took the screenshots) last night, there was a period about 11.30 to at least 00:10 GMT last night, in which the price displayed by the MTGox feed was different from the price quoted on the website by up to +-$3/btc I noticed the feed went down yesterday at about mid-afternoon so I wonder is this a technical fault. In any case it is really worrying.  Also, there were some huge price swings while this was happening. Are bots trading off the feed data? Could that explain this crazy swing:  Has anyone else noticed this? Can we get some comment from MtGox on this issue?

I would be interested in helping where I can.
Perhaps the first stage is to put a wiki up and start sketching out what features this would have (?)
I see this being most useful to me as a merchant tool that hooks into an accounting system to autogenerate accounts.
