Asked to comment, left "finsec intrusive policies" as a comment.

I've successfully completed one trade on bitsquare. This is fantastic news and I hope everybody support bitsquare by adding liquidity to the market. I certainly will.

What are the fees? approx.

I spent 0.98 BTC and was charged 0.0005 BTC in "create offer fee" and it appears I spent 0.0002 on the trade itself (I assume this is fee to the bitcoin network). So a total of 0.0007 BTC. That's 0.07% fee. I was the maker, not the taker. According to their FAQ taker pays 0.001 BTC for a trade.

From their FAQ:

A small fee of 0.0005 BTC when creating an offer and 0.001 BTC when taking an offer is paid to Bitsquare’s arbitrators for their service availability. Further, this fee discourages spam and market manipulation. A security deposit of 0.01 BTC is required by all traders to participate in a transaction, but the deposits are fully refunded to both parties after a successful trade.

Other potential costs you may encounter are miner’s fees to transfer cryptocurrency, or banking fees to transfer national currency.

Hello

I have intel i5 6600 and with this cpu i have 80 khash/s with mine XMG

What is the profit for mining Monero XMR with my cpu ? ( number coin XMR at day )

Thanks .

According to the calculator at moneropool.com, 80 khash/s = 75.03 XMR/day, but I don't know much about CPU mining myself.

Yes but he won't get 80KH/s, maybe 200H/s

Yes, that makes more sense, I was wondering how the hell any CPU could ever get that amount ... Thanks for correcting me!

Guys, what happened the last couple of days with bitcoin that prompted such a sharp rise in price? The rise was only shared by litecoin. Was there anything implemented recently by these two coins that increased their value?

Monero speculation has it's own thread ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=753252.0 ) but your question doesn't mention Monero.  May I suggest the speculation subforum.  You will of course have to filter out the noise.

You're right, I apologize. I posted here because this is the thread I follow and the people posting regularly here seem to be knowledgeable and helpful.
I'll re-post in the speculation forum.

They implemented a mining monopoly.

China.  KNC declared bankruptcy stating that the competition from China was too great.  Right now the price on Huboi is $53 higher than the highest USD exchange Bitfinex and $65 higher than Bitstamp.  Miners need to pump the price as the having is 6 weeks away.

Help with explaining how this work?
How to create the checksum index from a list of words; can explain it in non c++ terms?

Code:

 /*!
   * \brief Creates a checksum index in the word list array on the list of words.
   * \param  word_list            Vector of words
   * \param unique_prefix_length  the prefix length of each word to use for checksum
   * \return                      Checksum index
   */
  uint32_t create_checksum_index(const std::vector<std::string> &word_list,
    uint32_t unique_prefix_length)
  {
    std::string trimmed_words = "";

    for (std::vector<std::string>::const_iterator it = word_list.begin(); it != word_list.end(); it++)
    {
      if (it->length() > unique_prefix_length)
      {
        trimmed_words += Language::utf8prefix(*it, unique_prefix_length);
      }
      else
      {
        trimmed_words += *it;
      }
    }
    boost::crc_32_type result;
    result.process_bytes(trimmed_words.data(), trimmed_words.length());
    return result.checksum() % crypto::ElectrumWords::seed_length;
  }

Also, is it implementable without use of pointers and c++ specific functions such as

Code:

inline std::string utf8prefix(const std::string &s, size_t count)
  {
    std::string prefix = "";
    const char *ptr = s.c_str();
    while (count-- && *ptr)
    {
      prefix += *ptr++;
      while (((*ptr) & 0xc0) == 0x80)
        prefix += *ptr++;
    }
    return prefix;
  }

or

Code:

boost::crc_32_type result;
result.process_bytes(trimmed_words.data(), trimmed_words.length());

It takes the first N characters of each seed word interpreted using the UTF8 encoding (N=unique prefix length), combines them into one string, computes the crc_32 of the resulting string interpreted as a byte array, and then modulo (remainder) with the word list length.
