There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Bruno got himself an acceptable exception by providing a formula in time (and I would check if he calculated correctly if I were his neighbor when loosing to him). All after that are post the deadline aka dead Wink

Would you like to bet BTC10 with me? I wager BTC10 that the price will not be equal to or above USD 15 on the stroke of February 1 2013 at 00:00 UTC. If the price is below USD 15 at that point, you pay me BTC10. If the price is equal to or above USD 15, I pay you BTC10. Sound good?

That's a bit much, lets say 1 BTC and it's a deal - I'm not a (very) betting man;)

Yes, still a deal. BTC1 it is then.
Bad copy paste job I know.. anyway do I get points for getting it so close 3 months in advance?

Here is another quote of mine from Nov 4:
"In this case total price increase factoring in market anticipation is: 20/12.5 = 1.6."*
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=122197.msg1315679#msg1315679

The interesting thing here is that market anticipation had pretty much 0 effect.

EDIT: * as in ~11$*1.6=17.6

THE CONTEST
IS CLOSED!!!
derp!

The exact last trade can be determined from mtgox directly using the API.

MtGox trade numbers are determined by epoch time + 6 digits. Per rules:

1359676800xxxxxx = Feb 01 2013 00:00:00 GMT (final trade up to this time is winning price)
1359676801000000 = Feb 01 2013 00:00:01 GMT (this trade number or higher (after) don't count)

for looking up trades, you use the starting trade number:
(example, now) Trades since Wed, 30 Jan 2013 18:40:00 GMT
https://mtgox.com/api/1/BTCUSD/trades?since=1359571200000000

For finding the last trade (won't show data until after date):

Trades since Thu, 31 Jan 2013 23:59:00 GMT (61 seconds of trades, to end of contest)
https://mtgox.com/api/1/BTCUSD/trades?since=1359676740000000

Trades since Fri, 01 Feb 2013 00:00:00 GMT (only one second of valid trades to end of contest)
https://mtgox.com/api/1/BTCUSD/trades?since=1359676800000000

Try enough numbers and you should get the last qualifying trade and the first "too late" trade in one data reply.

deepceleron, as per the rules, bitcoincharts.com will be used to determine the last trade - not MtGox API.

To be fair, I did not meet the deadline, and my submission was not based on any calculations. I had every intent to make the deadline, but got sidetracked and missed the UTC conversion.

I'm pretty sure I won't be off by more than BTC1 though.

99% off topic: I'm assuming American Samoa in the Pacific? I've wanted to vacation there at some point..I imagine it's quite nice  Cheesy

1% on topic: Did we ever establish a time zone for determining a winning price?
