The tactic all anti-bitcoin people is to repeat disingenuous assessments then make threats of violence via government.

When your approach is lie then pull a gun don't be shocked when guns get pulled on you in self defense.

You're right. It must be a lie. I think they make closer to 1k a day. That makes more sense. They are just doing 15k trades a day and control only 80% of the bitcoin trades which are worth 100's of millions.

Tbh i might not do it. I'm really not sure if it's worth my time. When the coin was worth 270 it was worth it but now? What are you making? 10 bucks a day?
Now the coin will get worth more again but it's easier for me to buy now it's cheap than to wait for it till it's 250 again and start mining.

ok so i answered your first questions, lets move onto your other ones.

yeah there is downtime in the peak of ddos, and it sucks. but 99.9% of the time its available.

At the moment there is a massive amount of people still buying bitcoin and yes a lot of people are selling, but there is still activity and thats the main thing, if anything this recent crash got out a lot of week traders who got spooked. its been pretty stable at around $100 and thats a good sign, remember its very very early on in the life of bitcoin.

Every fucking time it goes up their servers go down. Either by ddos or their c64 servers.

Charging Bitcoin exchange owners with money laundering most likely

This was posted on Reddit explaining the lag on Mt.Gox

Quote:

I'm not perfect on the details, but what I've picked up from lots of lurking is that:

? MTGOX's trade matching algorithm is slow in that when a (non-market) bid comes, it has to cycle through all of the asks to see if one matches. And vice versa for the asks. This means that the more bids and asks there are, the slower things are.

? When things lag out too much, people panic and sell because they don't have faith in MtGox, which causes the price to drop.

? In this way, there's an incentive for manipulators to create lag: let the price pick up a bit, sell all their coins, place buy orders at a lower price, then lag gox to all hell so that everyone else sells and the price drops and they get cheap coins.

? Placing lots of tiny orders helps skew the 'last' price creating a ladder to lower prices - instead of one big trade causing a momentary dip and then possibly surging right back, the fact that there's lag means a bunch of people will sell at MARKET (e.g. last) price. So if you create a ladder of tiny transactions from 100.1, 100, 99.5, 99, 98.5, and so on, if people blindly hit sell during the lag you've created, they follow your price path downwards, which sustains support for these lowered prices while lag persists.

Max keiser will be releasing his own exchange and I can't wait for that, mt gox currently has a flawed system in sooo many fucking ways. Say someone puts a sell or buy order at 0.00005 and it goes into a line of orders first in first come basis that overrides an order at 6.00000000.

Most people on forums are saying only sell at Mt Gox, don't buy there due to their incompetence and what NiXXiN has posted below.

Another thing that annoys me, verification. They've got backlogs of weeks now.

Why not implement a system like Bitcoins.de & Paypal have, a small amount of ? are sent to your bank account with a code, you confirm the code on their site and your bank account is verified! Simples!

Have any of you tried taking money out from Mt Gox? A lot of people are angry because it's taking weeks, again silly amounts of backlogs that's not acceptable.

If I had money in Mt Gox and wanted it out fast, I think I'd take a flight to Japan and visit their offices!

Dirty F · 04-18-2013, 03:42 AM

They were down again today.

Once again, i understand they are growing like crazy but they also make money like crazy and should be able to hire plenty of people just for the verification part.

Quote:

History is in the making. Although this is not a major announcement pertaining to Bitcoin directly, today may be one of the most historic days in the life of the crypto currency. Today, it was announced that YCombinator, the biggest and most well known technology incubator, has funded a Bitcoin startup.

What does this mean?
This means that Paul Graham, who is one of the most respected and influential early stage investors in the industry, has just indirectly endorsed Bitcoin. Like any startup investor, Paul Graham takes risks when he invests in startups. However, with Bitcoin startups, there is a double risk as one bets on both Bitcoin as well as the startup itself, not to mention money transmitter licensing issues. This means Paul Graham must consider Bitcoin legitimate enough that he is willing to take that risk.

Paul Graham is currently the third major technology investor to show support for Bitcoin. The first was Fred Wilson of Union Square Ventures, and the second major investor was Tim Draper.

Furthermore, Bitcoin may now have the support of the YCombinator family and network which consists of hundreds of startups and investors. This is the kind of support that could be crucial for Bitcoin to be adopted.

Entirely possible...

Governments have wanted to get rid of paper currency for some time now, create a digital one and let it's users embrace it and watch it become more and more popular.

Remember we had national ID cards as a government proposal in the UK & EU pre 2005 and how much people campaigned against it. Then along came Facebook & Twitter a few years later and the death of privacy as most people where more than happy to share every detail of their lives with the entire world via their Facebook Wall or Tweets.

Now all intelligence agencies have teams dedicated to spying on people of interest through social media.

i was thinking of this the other day, how we are being conditioned to volunteer what we do, when we do it and where we do it all day every day and its only going to increase with every generation. i am no conspiracy theorist but its a pretty ingenious plan and if it wasn't a plan, a very sweet deal for them to just happen. however bitcoins are so popular in part because they are anonymous, so if they can't be tracked then where is the benefit?

dyna mo · 04-18-2013, 07:49 AM

I've long suspected bitcoin was created by a government. Bulletproof protocols usually require peer review, yet there have been zero leaks from the reviewers. Pools of crypto guys who don't leak stuff are usually employed by governments.
The part that puzzles me is why a government would do this. I can imagine several possibilities:

1. To finance their own black operations.

2. Because they thought digital currencies were inevitable, and they preferred bitcoin to some potentially more malevolent form. (Could bitcoin have been worse from a government's point of view?)

3. A friend suggested this: because they felt their currency would never become the standard reserve currency, and they felt it was better that no one's be if theirs couldn't be.

4. A variant of the above: the US did it because it seemed inevitable that the dollar would eventually lose its place as the standard reserve currency, and better to have it replaced by bitcoin that the yuan.

I realize some of these explanations are pretty far fetched, but so is an individual cooking up bitcoin as an intellectual exercise. Whatever the explanation of bitcoin's origin turns out to be, it will probably be pretty weird.

SexyCreativity · 04-18-2013, 07:53 AM

Now with the explosion of social media, many people have no problem sharing every little detail about their life. Very interesting how things have changed.

i'm not so sure it is fully anon. i've been trying to understand that better, but each and every transaction on the chain is publicly viewable, every one. i've read that can be backtraced

in some way to glean infos. i don't know how accurate that is but it is something i've come across

Bulletproof protocols usually require peer review, yet there have been zero leaks from the reviewers. Pools of crypto guys who don't leak stuff are usually employed by governments. The part that puzzles me is why a government would do this. I can imagine several possibilities: 1. To finance their own black operations. 2. Because they thought digital currencies were inevitable, and they preferred bitcoin to some potentially more malevolent form. (Could bitcoin have been worse from a government's point of view?) 3. A friend suggested this: because they felt their currency would never become the standard reserve currency, and they felt it was better that no one's be if theirs couldn't be. 4. A variant of the above: the US did it because it seemed inevitable that the dollar would eventually lose its place as the standard reserve currency, and better to have it replaced by bitcoin that the yuan. I realize some of these explanations are pretty far fetched, but so is an individual cooking up bitcoin as an intellectual exercise. Whatever the explanation of bitcoin's origin turns out to be, it will probably be pretty weird.

I remember 15 years ago most people wouldn't even want to put their full name on the internet. Now with the explosion of social media, many people have no problem sharing every little detail about their life. Very interesting how things have changed. __________________ Check out SexyCreativity for 80% commissions on all your content sales!
