I bought Raspberry Pi-s, coffee and other stuff.

But to answer your question: everything. If it was to be a global currency, I wouldn't hesitate to spend it.

Sinking ship pics... the new train pic.

You keep forgetting that we bounced back from $420 really fast. People won't like this price and they'll get it up.

This is actually one of the very few forums that don't use all the abbreviations. I like it.

GHash.IO hasn't implemented GBT yet. They could though.

Ma nebi te coine kupovao...
Pa lakse je na Bitstampu kupit. I jos ces dignut cijenu.

Jeste lakse, ali siguran sam da ce ovo biti jako povoljno. Mada opet kazem AKO oni to uopste urade sada. Ja msm da je ovo samo bio test da vide koliko lako mogu da izazovu paniku sto im je i lagano poslo za rukom.

Ne vjerujem bas da ce bit povoljno... Pa ipak je aukcija.

It's just the Silkroad coins. The drop is so they can be bought cheaper. Nothing more, nothing less.
Relax, sit back and try to buy some Wink

Can't wait to see what bullshit will be in the official statement. It's taking quite long.
Why's it so hard to decentralize for them? Greed?
1369  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: June 14, 2014, 10:02:42 AM
566 !

AARRGGHH ! The number of the Dyslexic Beast !

Cheesy

The Silkroad coins are killing us. They'll be sold for much cheaper than intended.

1373  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: GHash.IO is standing at 51% on: June 14, 2014, 08:29:46 AM
I'm still surprised that they are holding this much hashrate. What are the miners thinking? If a 51% happens, all their trouble will be worth nothing.

I'll just add this here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/27lotn/people_dont_realize_how_serious_a_50_attack_is/
1374  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: June 14, 2014, 08:23:44 AM
Whether the 51% attack is a real threat or not makes no difference. Perception is all that matters, and that is affecting the price right now. The perception of bitcoin in the media has improved dramatically, but this could set off another round of FUD articles.

Clever arguments to the contrary won't matter. Finding a solution to this perceived threat will. It can also show how the greater bitcoin community can fix its own issues, which any long term investor would find compelling.

Whenever there's FUD spreading, it's a great time to buy. Trust me.

1377  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Incentive problem with Ghash on: June 14, 2014, 08:07:27 AM
Here it is in a nutshell... GHash is huge and P2pool is too small.

People want to mine where their variance is minimized especially when the hashrate is increasing so quickly. Too much time between blocks on a small pool can decimate your income before the next difficulty jump. It's the same with good but small pools like BitMinter and Slush.

I suggest to anyone switching from GHash, try the other Big 2... BTCGuild or Eligius. They're big enough to reduce variance but not too big so they're a threat to the network. While I like the concept of p2pool, it's a bit unreasonable to expect people to give up potential profit so they can support an ideal.

Eligius also offers merged mining of Namecoin and takes 0% fees.

1379  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: GHash.IO is standing at 51% on: June 14, 2014, 07:57:51 AM
We should see CEX.IO's statement and see what they are going to do.
Depending on how that unravels, it wouldn't be a bad idea to DDoS.

But DDoSing or Booting a service wouldn't really call anything in our favor. Bitcoin and other cryptos have a special feature, one that many currencies don't have. People aren't denied to mine, or have it. Nobody can confiscate it.

If we DDoS CEX/GHash just because they're mining, and yes, they might be getting close to 51%, that's still not a excuse to say, "Yeah. They're getting close to doing something dangerous. Let's make a exception." Because if that was the case, I don't think Bitcoin would be were it is now.

We are not talking about denying anyone the ability to mine here.  We are talking about ways the community can proactively take action in order to reduce the risk of another market crash.  Arguing that taking an action which some people might consider unethical in response to a credible threat to billions of dollars of market capitalization just to protect the interest of a few, mostly anonymous individuals at GHash.io doesn't make any business sense at all.  The community has already appealed to GHash.io to voluntarily restrict their mining (as did BTCGuild before them) in order to avoid going over 40%.  They made their intentions very clear by their actions and so it is time to consider other options.


Exactly. You can't just trust them. Who are they? Nobody knows who's behind CEX and GHash.
We could and should react if they keep doing this.

I just found one behind CEX.IO. Jeffrey Smith, Chief Information Officer at CEX.IO => http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/jeffrey-smith/30/76b/ba3

He's just their public relations person.

Public relations person will know the employer... right ? We need the missing link.

Why don't you just email him then? Cheesy
You won't find out the owners that easily. Not unless they step out of the shadow.
