what if i write a forum post saying that i will pay 5 times the amount that the blockchain say i should, and just buy all?
Sure you can do this, but this will not make your rate mainstream. To establish it, other peers will need to vote for it. You can skip a forum post and place any crazy order into blockchain. If everybody else accept it, fine, let the rate be screwed up. |

How do you trade BTC without going through the block-chain? Did I miss the first day of school?
You can send your BTC from your address to your friends address, and this will be recorded in blockchain. This will not affect the exchange rate if you do not place a sell order. |

and what if i traded person-2-person with a friend? whoops, your system is broken.
You can trade person-2-persion with a friend without submitting order to the blochain. This will not affect the exchange rate. |

I don't see how it could be done with a minor change specifically on the technical side??
Elaborate.
Well, the following could be done. Кeep all ask and bid orders for all fiat currencies versus BTC in the blockchain. This is possible without changing the protocol. Allow peers to vote for each order, just like they vote to confirm or reject the transaction. Orders which are going to perturb exchange rate against any fiat up or down by more than 0.015% per day would to be suspended or knocked out by peers (no central control involved). This way exchange rate would not change by more than 5% per year. Then let all online exchanges execute orders from same blockchain. |

I expected to find that some of the alternative crypto-currencies would address the issues with price volatility that come from a fixed supply, but I haven't found any.
Price volatility does not come from fixed supply. It comes from speculations on exchanges. Fixed supply alone would cause a steady deflation. |

Чтобы провести транзакцию по передачи монет нужна замкнутая цепочка доверий! т.е. люди должны быть связаны через доверительные знакомства. не просто знакомство, а доверие на уровне 'я занял тебе XXX денег, я верю что ты вернешь их мне по первому требованию'! Много ли у вас таких знакомых? наберется ли для проведения транзакции хотя бы между ближайшими городами?
Иногда передаю деньги родителям пенсионерам просто в конверте через знакомых, которых встретил чисто случайно. Причём не между ближайшими городами, а между странами по обе стороны океана. Мир настолько тесен, что пару раз с школьными одноклассниками встречался, просто гуляя по бульвару в чужой стране. |

Should a Jewish owner of an eatery in NYC be forced by governments to serve a hungry neo-nazi skinhead, if he has the money?
No. Let the nazi bastard starve to death. I am not jew, my head is bold, but not "skinhead". If I happen to be around your eatery, I'll help you to finish that moron. |

Stop destroying nice technology with speculations. Buy bitcoins when you really need them to pay for goods.
Hopefully, decentralized exchanges are coming soon.

This currency isn't for weak-hearted and weak-minded.
I am with you, milady <3 |

What price did you buy your Bitcoins at? Given you only joined the forum a month or so ago, I'm guessing $30 - $50?
Yes, Sir. 1 btc at $35, and another one at $47. And it is not for playing these bs games on exchanges, but because I am really interested in this technology, and wish it to advance. |

I bought 2.5 coins (not much, I know, but this is just a start for me) at $103 USD.
Congratulations, looser  P.S. By the way, what did you buy those coins for? Did you need to pay for something, or did you wish to help some other guy to pay for his porsche? |

What an idiot you are! (sorry for my french)

We all know when it comes to technicals that LTC surpasses that of BTC, and maybe the community should back the currency more.
Yeah, right. Let's blow another bubble! |

And a bunker, eventually, will go to shit.

Otherwise my coins are not for sale, they are meant to be either saved or spent.
Good strategy. This is what bitcoins are invented for. Where are you going to spend them? |
|
|
|
Yep, I'm using Windows. But that's all it is? Wallet.dat? Wouldn't that leave it vulnerable for someone to edit?
The best way to be safe is to make a paper wallet, tattoo it on your penis, then eat the paper. |

So, I'm left with this post. Let's just say the price goes from $260-$130 again, how can I buy Bitcoins right away at the $130 price - because as I've witnessed today, your window of opportunity is approximately an hour - because that's how long it took to go back to $200.
Any ideas or suggestions from you fine people?
You can keep your mtgox, btc-e and other exchange accounts charged with you usd and btc to play the exchange rates. It is the best way to find out, what happens faster: price go from $260-$130, or these accounts get hacked, or these exchanges piss you off. |
