Core 0.15 incoming

Update - fix bug/"vulnerability"amongst other things-   (Chris Jeffrey talked about at Breaking Bitcoin Paris  (doozy of a story) supposedly known by core and fixed already in 0.15 but not deployed - update 0.15 !)

p.s Bitcoin Core 0.15  will automatically disconnect Seg 2X nodes

"Two of China's biggest bitcoin exchanges, Okcoin and Huobi, have said they hadn't had any instructions to stop trading. China's central bank has also not commented on the reports."

The MSM has lost all credibility now. Printing articles based on pure rumor or FUD/ fake news, as opposed to verifiable facts and sources.

First China exchanges closing down...

Error 504.

But there is also a denial by yunbi:

Time will tell

Thanks for the imgur link.

Situation still muddy.

My guess: it was just a wave of FUD that's being milked while still possible - that is, until the Chinese government issues another generic release about investor safety. Tighter regulations might be coming, but I don't think it's going to be an issue after the smoke curtain dissolves.

TL;DR: Hodl.

I get at least 33% off almost everything in Amazon ... but I have to wait a bit before someone buys it for me.

Haha, bitcoin.de, you crazy.

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/bitcoinde/btceur

I have an account there. Gonna put some BTC up for 5999 euro.

Didn't bother doing their KYC since the site seemed bad for trading... Maybe I should have...

Bitcoin.de is special since they only arrange trades between private people. So it's not like on kraken or bitstamp where the lowest aks price is filled and than the order book up.

You can place your 6k€ Order there and a friend of you can pick this special order (ignoring all lower offers) and fullfill this order. When both parties mark the trade es successfull (maybe even without transfering a single euro) the buyer gets the Bitcoins (minus the bitcoin.de fee) and the trade is done.

So it's easy to "paint the tape" on bitcoin.de

What if someone makes your payment with some stolen credit card?

This was addressed years ago, early on in their deployment. I believe someone was questioned by the police about a package and the item was taken by the police.

After that they created a guarantee on all purchases up to $10,000 and I assume have taken some measures to prevent this. I've used it for years and never had a problem.

[Elwar]

So...theoretically, say you were going to a government with a list of legal changes that would make way for an ideal environment for cryptocurrencies and blockchains what would you propose?

Things such as, no certification requirements for exchanging cryptocurrencies or foreign/domestic currencies...

Still holding steady at Bitstamp when it comes to bids:

Bitstamp | Total bids: 59050149 USD. Total asks: 2904 BTC. Ratio: 20331.04298 USD/BTC. | Data vintage: 0.0321 seconds

Though I'm somewhat annoyed that we still have not recovered from fake news (seems to be an increasing problem in the world nowadays anyways).

Core 0.15 incoming
...

when?  I'm still seeing 0.14.2 as the latest

[Faliro]

I am convinced that if I sell today, all the newspapers and news broadcasts of the world will start to talk about the cryptos tomorrow, and soon will see the bitcoin at 100,000 euros.
I'm also convinced that if I do not sell the bubble will burst and I will feel a crap.

I've always thought the whole idea behind it was a bit dodgy, but maybe it's worth trying then? I use GiftOff. Been great so far.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Nothing new, still bouncing along more or less sideways... currently $4265USD/$5177CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

AltcoinCash also stalled at $536USD/$649CAD (Coinmarketcap).

Pretty boring but I suppose no news is good news. Ho hum.
