What is it about you bitcoiners that makes you so paranoid?  I guess constantly getting scammed helps, but you guys are off the charts

Anyone else notice the strong correlation between Jorge's posts and huge dumps?  He's clearly up to no good.

If he gets the award for most posts, our friend Jorge (the most highly-cited computer scientist in Brazil) is at a close second. I wonder if his students know about his little pastime.

Probably not.  I try to be as discreet as possible about my involvement with bitcoin, myself.  Not something I'd want my neighbors to know.

They surely do, I posted my opinions on twitter and on my homepage.

But but they have their own brains and won't care about my opinion anyway.  It is a safe bet that some of them are involved in crypto, possibly creating their own altcoins. 

This past semester I got assigned a lab course where all the students were supposed to develop one project collaboratively.   On the first day I suggested a few possible projects, including an online exchange platform that could be used for stocks, currencies -- or bitcoin.  But they opted for a twitter-like system instead.  And only 6 students signed up for the class (perhaps because they knew that I would expect each one of them to actually write some code).

where are those guys that are buying with both hands?

now is the time!

Interesting... I thought about writing some experimental code for an exchange, but couldn't figure out an algorithm that
would allow multithreaded operation. To execute a huge number of orders per second I guessed mutithreading would be useful.
But each new order to execute depends on the results of the previously executed ones (for the price and available amounts).
Doing inter-thread communication to sort this looks too hard for me (and may kill performance), so it's in the forgotten projects drawer.

Most cultists and permabulls still live in the basement of their parents' house. And their "salary" is the $5 allowance they get every week, so they don't really have a lot of money to spend on trying to keep this sinking ship afloat.

Why did i spent my 5$ monthly allowance this time to buy icecream instead of bitcom.

Why god you do this to me

As a cultist and permabull (going by my estimation of the parameters of your classification system), I sincerely doubt that your characterization is descriptive of a any class to which I belong.   It is easy to buy in too much too soon during these extreme lows.  I find it better to buy gradually at a reasonably consistent USD rate.

I once held a fair lot of BTC, but lost some at Gox, and now prefer a more modest portfolio allocation.  Most of my crypto is XMR, and most of my funds go into non-crypto projects.  Yet I continue to spend a respectable proportion of a very respectable income on BTC, week in and week out, and will definitely not allow my BTC allocation to decline as a % of overall portfolio value for the foreseeable future.

Your implied point remains, that my ilk do not have sufficient numbers to insure a steady rise, at this point in time.  Either the cultists and permabulls need to multiply and get motivated, or other demographics, other use-cases, need to be cultivated, for BTC to compound its market-clearing rates.  The second choice seems more likely to me.  The saturation among like-minded ideologues is probably pretty complete.

Everyone gobbling up all these cheap coins?

I've yet to see a Beanie Baby ATM!

That brings up some unfortunate images.

Love it exo. What amazing job do you have to impress us all?

I wouldn't go multi-threaded. I would have a small, tight inner process to execute the trades from a queue and hang parallel stuff off of that.

Multi-threading is nice for some things but is actually less well suited for certain tasks than you'd think and adds complexity and the potential for some quite nasty bugs.

Stamp looks reluctant to go below $310...

It's taking time but about two thirds of the 1k wall at $310 has been dumped into. There's only ~370 coins stopping it going below $310.
