Historic days.

500. The hearing. 900. Wow.

I went out for a couple hours to grab a bite and I lost all the climb to 900 and crash action...  

Does anyone know how big of a dump it was accross all exchanges?

10-15k gox more or less

So, how'd the hearing go?

you missed the gong show: some exchanges popped past US $1000 for a second

Among those 10k, 4.5k is from TradeFortress i bet.

Popping 800 is no big deal anymore, watching it climb back up is just relaxing after all the fun.

When the Senate news thinks in the news buzz will bring many more in.

Couldn't manage to grab coins in the low 600s, but got some in the upper....   Just a few - but dip increased my stash - happy day.

Now wait for $1000

I was out picking up a load of barn wood today and heard on NPR that the high was $750. Upon reading this, then checking, for a brief moment I was a Bitcoin millionaire, at least on paper. Now, as soon InstaWallet returns my three wallets totaling 1,123+ BTC, I'll be golden.

question: why don't we open account on btcchina and make some arbitrage with bitstamp? 30% guaranteed..
am i missing some point?

You need a Chinese bank account and then you need someone help you to convert CNY back to USD.

No, you just get a Tenpay account.  

And banking in China is actually very easy...one of the few joys...its funny how 'western' banks still screw clients with fees.  I used to bank with HSBC in HK...zero fees for anything, just happy to look after your money.

I'm waiting for the next Chartbuddy. Should be a keeper.

I may have to work out running a chartbuddy for the whole of today.

One of the best hourly charts ever and the image doesn't display.

Any chance of a fix?

There for me (and apparently others). *shrug* ?

Sorry, after a reboot it shows. Firefox was freezing up off and on and becoming unresponsive. Just restarting FF didn't help but rebooting Win7 did the trick.

I guess it's time for a reinstall but I've been lazy about backing up everything and downloading drivers and firmware updates for my PCIe SSD array.

HSBC in general is basically the most fair bank I've ever worked with.

Unless you borrow, that is. http://www.justanswer.com/consumer-protection-law/2pkqy-want-sue-hsbc-unauthorized-overdraft-assessments.html

So with the price rise, I remember I got my Casascius coin out to show a buddy a couple of weeks back and I left it out. Ask my wife if she saw it.

It got "put away"

Without a trace.

Don't trust your bitcoins around your SO

Morale is low right now?  Good lord.

[600watt]

we're back up to 818??? wowowow

Well this is excellent news.

Does this mean the price can never again go below $800 ?

800 is cheap,,,, when within a month we're gonna trade above $1k,

month ? talkin 'bout hours, dude...

This is all Spaceman's fault. We were going nicely to the moon then he decided to stop for fuel because he wants to go to Mars....

Some noobs jumped out and got pulled down by gravity.

God damn it.
