Stamp just gave a green light for next leg up
It's gone down to 252 on Stamp. If people start arbitraging between Stamp and the other exchanges it could push the price down now.

What date does the poll at the top of this page start from? It asks for the price in 2 weeks but doesn't state what date the two weeks refereed to start from.

Is there someplace to short LTCBTC?
Bitfinex
I guess I should look before asking, I thought that was just for ltcusd. Thanks, I'll check.
edit: I guess I missed the opportunity, when I asked LTCBTC was up 26% over 24h IIRC
You can short LTCBTC at a higher rate (20x Leverage) on OKcoin but it's extremely risky. Also there have been questions raised about OKcoin's liquidity and some say it is operating on fractional reserves like Mt Gox before it went bankrupt, although I don't know if the rumors are true or not.
https://www.okcoin.com/t-92.htmlOKCoin Futures releases 20x Leverage in Fixed Margin trading mode. With this increased leverage, we urge investors to manage their risk carefully.

Looks like they're not seeing the mystery candles for 10-80k coins happening in china with clockwork regularity, nor the repeating orders on bitstamp that barely move the price, nor the complete dearth of action in the intervening periods.
To use raw volume numbers reported by the unregulated exchanges as the sole basis for a trade sounds to be something other than "experienced".
For the last two nights I watched about 6k coins quickly thrown into a 25 Bitcoin wall at the quietest time possible on Bitstamp. The price barely moved by a dollar. Apart from that the volume was almost none-existent. It's funny how it happened when most people were sleeping. Exchanges faking volume makes me so angry.

Interesting that Marshall selected 5th of November for the date of the last Silk Road coin sale:
And,
according to reddit's darknetmarkets forum, various markets are either under attack or there are exit scams going on.
Maybe something else is planned for November 5th, 2015, after the Silk Road auction is finalized...
PS - Blake Benthall (Defcon of SR2.0) remains a ghost in government databases. Nothing on Pacer since March, which was a 30 day continuance dated 12/22/14. And nothing on
http://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/ except an 11/21/14 release that appears due to transfer from CA to NY. Presumably he must be cooperating with various agencies...
Can you post some links to the threads on reddit's darknetmarkets forum which say various markets are either under attack or there are exit scams going on?
Which darknet markets do they say are possibly exit scamming, and are they among the biggest markets?

Forum DDOS are so 2013 ...
This always seems to happen when there's a rally. Half the exchanges and bitcointalk get attacked. There was nothing on the bitcointalk twitter account a few hours ago. If the DDOS attack continues there will probably be an update posted there. My browser has been taking ten minutes to get a page loaded for the last half a day.

The same here. The forum was unreachable since this morning.
Now it is 18.30 Europe time.
Come on bulls, it's time to destroy this fat bears.
It's finally started working normally again for me, although I'm not counting on it lasting. Half the Bitcoin ecosystem has been DDOSed in the lat few days. I felt for some of the people who got margin called on the Kraken when it was down. Their support emails met a wall of silence and they didn't know if they would be compensated for their loss.

wait, dont tell me ... up?
Don't worry, he's not going to tell you...unless you pay him at least $29.95.
Why does he want $29.95 off people if he's so good at making money trading Bitcoin? Anyone that good's time would be so valuable they would make more money trading than wasting any of their time running an analytics website. Maybe he's charging $29.95 out of altruism.
Another question, why is he charging $29.95 instead of $30.05?

3 more hours and the USMS will notify the winning bidder that his bid has been selected.
including the price per bitcoin?
I think the winning bidder has quite a good idea what his bid was, no need for the USMS to remind him.
11 people were bidders and nobody knows (unless the bidders work together secretly)
Really, only 11 bidders? That is fairly bearish news, if true. Didn't we have close to 30 bidders in previous auctions?
only the first one
11 was a tie with with another auction, lowest precipitation, as the twins said, it's kinda pointless to go to these you're pretty much guaranteed to buy at the top.
Not if you put in a really cheapskate bid and it wins because nobody else made any bids. They have to pay some money to bid plus make a deposit. I don't think they get the bidding fee back, but the deposit gets returned so it doesn't cost silly money to put a cheapskate bid on.

Does anybody know the fee that they have to pay in order to bid?
Looks like you had to place a deposit rather than pay a fee. I guess otherwise they'd be swamped with reddit morons for the lulz.
You're right, I thought there was a fee, but didn't read that page. I thought they charged the losing bidders at least the value of the bank transfer fee to return their deposits, but that page doesn't mention it. The Feds must pay the bank transfer fees out of all the money they got for the Bitcoins.

Full blocks are not going to come early next year. They're here now. If a transaction fee market develops, good luck in EVER getting the 1MB limit raised. Miners will grow dependent on the extra revenue stream.
Yes, miners want more income through fees, but less transactions doesn't equal more income. You could have more transactions (more revenue) and less profit per transaction but in the end higher profit. Its a question of balance.
In other words the logic smaller blocks = higher mining profits doenst work. Otherwise you could choose a 50kb blocksize, but i am sure thats not what miners want.
Every now and again there are blocks mined with no transactions included in them. Whoever mines them doesn't care about the transaction fees, they only want their 25 Bitcoins for mining a block. Zero transactions = more profit for them. The rest of the blocks mined have varying numbers of transactions, but some are close to the 1 MB limit. If the number of transactions doubles a solution will be forced on the community.

I think they wait until bank transfers are through from the winners before they start moving coins. It will be after the weekend before the Feds get paid, and I doubt those Bitcoins will move before then unless they split them up in preparation for paying to the winners.
http://www.usmarshals.gov/assets/2015/dpr-february-auction/Receipt of Funds. The winning bidder should be prepared to wire purchase funds to the USMS by 2:00 P.M. EST on Monday, March 09, 2015.

Does anyone have a link to who were the bidders? The quantity of bidders and any description of who they represent?
That information has never been released, and the USMS says it won't be.
After the first auction, someone submitted a FOIA request to the USMS for them to release that information (FOIA = US Freedom of Information Act). The last news I read, a couple of months later, were that the request was still unanswered (thus stretching if not violating the FOIA).
Yes, when the government is involved, then there is a public interest involved regarding the transparency of the process, and if the information is not going to be released, then a prompt and reasonable explanation concerning why should be provided.
Wouldn't there be a conflict between that FOIA request and the data protection act? Any personally identifiable information is covered by the data protection act. The bidders have the right to remain anonymous if they wish to. Regular auctions are sometimes won by anonymous bidders, and they get to remain anonymous.

Does anyone know why blockchain.info is down?
they are back... Most likely DDOS attack or something like that...
It's been offline three times today according to isitdownrightnow.com.
TReano's probably right, it's probably getting DDOS attacked. There's a bitcoin news site that's put a 5 bitcoin bounty out to DOX some DDOS attackers that were threatening its site. The same attackers are probably attacking blockchain.info and a load of other sites unless they pay the attackers off.

Well I'm feeling more convinced now that this uptrend has more runway. The whale behavior is starting to look like what it did in early 2013.
Let's put it this way, if someone is trying to prime the pump for a new rally to a new ATH, they are doing it right. If it continues to 600 or more, then I can't imagine that it won't explode sometime after that, probably in the new year. U.S. traders will have new money to invest after they sell off stocks to pay taxes by EOY.
And it would be a damn shame if they waste this rising opportunity, because they have to know that building positive market sentiment doesn't come around all that often. Once cultivated, don't blow it, use it (this is exactly what they did in 2013). Because once sentiment turns negative again, it'll stay that way likely for years... again.
I guess we shall see how this all plays out.
What about going back down to 230? You said the market will crash back down to 230, and that you will be making $3000 for every $10 it drops on the way down. You said it could take months to play out, but it's inevitable. Now you are saying it's going to pump to a new ATH?
Expect more of this on the way back down to 230.

Chinese FUD. I thought, there was no "central" point in MMM BTC or whatever. People send btc to each other.
The news said the Russian MMM Ponzi froze withdrawals for a cooling off period months ago. If there's no central point then nobody could have frozen withdrawals. The Chinese MMM Ponzi continued operating until now, but what's to stop it going the way of the Russian Ponzi?

Maidsafe is up over 40% today with the highest volume ever. What's going on with that?
They are releasing some beta code, but it's not the final working version, it's very early days stuff. You can't use it to convert maidsafe coins to safe coins but people will probably pump it anyway. Some people will be buying in the mistaken belief that they can convert their maidsafe coins immediately.

look at those full blocks! but it's ok, we'll have some more room sometime in the middle of next year.
I've never had any delays or other issues sending bitcoins. What is your problem with full blocks?
Paying the suggested fee of 5000 satoshi per KB everything gets confirmed pretty soon. Haven't had any delays in a long time: miners need to be paid.
Miners get paid 25 BTC per block. if hald a million people want to send some coin on the same day, they can't all do it, no matter how high the fees are. Higher fees kill marginal transactions. marginal transactions are where the growth comes from.
I think you know that btc was never designed for those high numbers: this is it right now if I am to use btc I need to pay that fee.
If we grow in numbers then I really don't know what's gonna happen.
This was never designed as a world currency
It might not have been designed as a world currency but Satoshi intended it to become one. He said in twenty years either everyone will be using Bitcoin, or nobody will be using it. It's code will evolve to scale up to world currency robustness given time.

Bitcoin Companies Aid NY State Police In Deep Web Bust <==Ha ha!
"Thanks to the help of several undisclosed Bitcoin companies – most likely exchange platforms – the Suspicious Activity Review Team was able to identify the destination for these Bitcoin amounts in the form of a deep web marketplace. An undisclosed amount of narcotics was seized during the arrest of this individual, whose name has not been officially disclosed.
This arrest comes on the heels of finding out Homeland Security is actively monitoring the Bitcoin blockchain for suspicious activity. Now that Bitcoin companies are helping law enforcement in tracing these transactions, using cryptocurrency for illegal purposes is becoming less and less appealing."

How many time zones does China have? .. I guess Beijing isn't the first place where its morning there from what I know and see on the map.. right? ... or they have one of those dumb systems where its the same hour all over the country?
i'm pretty sure they use 1 timezone in the whole country, even though the country itself is in multiple timezones.
must suck for those who live in the east, need to get up really early.
That's backed up by this site. China has five time zones but it only uses one standard time. However that quoted explanation doesn't make sense to me, how can China cover five time zones, but the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan Province all be in the same time zone?
https://www.travelchinaguide.com/essential/time_difference.htmGeographically, China covers five time zones (Zhongyuan, Longshu, Tibet, Kunlun and Changbai Time Zones). However, the standard times used in Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan Province are the same, for they are all in the same time zone (UTC+8), 8 hours ahead of the Universal Time Coordinated.

all one time zone.
either way, the vast majority of the money is on the coast no further inland than the north/south train lines
But some of the biggest Bitcoin mines are in Mongolia. They mine so many Bitcoins a week they can move the market whenever they choose. Those mines must be earning so much money that they can decide to buy or sell to make the market do whatever they want.

That's not a very high quality website but it's hard to deny that this -
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=109285.0;all is unsexy, but perhaps everyone was starting quasi ponzis back in the day.
There've been consistent mysteries and questions surrounding Bitfinex. No one seemed to care enough to bother clearing anything up. I wonder whether this situation is going to force out some answers.
And nothing's been heard from BFX today. They must be 'thinking' still.
On reddit they say they have an upcoming announcement they will be making addressing how they will deal with compensating users. They apologise for missing deadline after deadline, and say they are doing a "final review" before making it. I bet they will make another apology tomorrow and say they are doing yet another "final review".

Well, it's possibly the most important decision they'll ever make so it makes sense to ponder it properly. At the same time they must be aware there are a lot of anxious people out there and should be taking that into account.
If I were them I'd probably chuck my computer in the sea and go on holiday but luckily I'm not.
When Bitstamp was hacked there was delay after delay and broken deadline after broken deadline before it made an announcement. After that there were more delays before the website went back online. I bet Bitfinex is no different, but it's doing a better job than Cryptsy. At least the CEO hasn't gone on the run yet (as far as I know).

Bitcoin's price has jumped up more than $15 since Bitfinex made its announcement. Could there be an even bigger jump when it reopens?
It doesn't sound like they are planning to file for bankruptcy so its unlikely to turn into a Gox with everyone's money locked for years. That could have crashed the price, but this is different.

After much thought, analysis, and consultation, we have arrived at the conclusion that losses must be generalized across all accounts and assets. [...] Upon logging into the platform, customers will see that they have experienced a generalized loss percentage of 36.067%.
So, what's the current consensus? That's the end of finex as a relevant trading platform?
I don't think it will go bankrupt because its customers pay for the hack, but I doubt many of them will want to carry on trading on it. That could be a good thing, one thread said
This Bitfinex Credit Bubble cannot end well, and ending the credit bubble with a hack might be preferable to ending it with a humongous long call.

How are they planning to buy 75k coins off the market without insta-mooning the price (OTC?)? Who's gonna sell them all of those coins at ~$600?
Also how will they liquidate 36% of LTC ETC and ETH without tanking their price accordingly?
I can't think of any way they can buy those coins without mooning the price. The Bitstamp hack caused a crash, but the Bitfinex hack might cause a moonshot. Release of the news of their plans pumped the price, but after they start buying there will be rocket pictures in every other post in this thread.

Who's address is this and what is happening?
It looks like an address that was just created today, and there are a lots of coins going into it from a variety of addresses... What does it mean?
this is a whale finally deciding NOT to keep 1000's of bitcoin on different exchanges?
oh the my bullishness is coming back on full force!
.. whats the price at? better double it!
It's Bitfinex moving the coins it has left to one address according to Zane Tackett on reddit. He says they are moving the coins to their control, which makes me think they have all the keys to that address and have abandoned the shared key model.

Proper double bottom incoming over the next few days
In the next few days the people who took in loans to buy BTC at 18-20 k will start to sell
I thought similar dumps would happen this time last year, and bitcoin's price shot up above the 2013 ATH instead. All this year I kept expecting huge crashes, and it just corrected a little then carried on going up. Maybe bitcoin adoption is speeding up so fast it's preventing any huge crashes. Maybe it will soon be above 20 k.

Friends I talked to years ago about Bitcoin and completely given up any hope on taking action have finally decided these last few days to jump in. Timid sideliners are just starting to pull the trigger, precisely because of MSM news coverage of the correction. Bitcoin's on sale! I thought I would have to put a gun to their head to finally make a move. Turns out WuVer's BEECrash did it for me. Go figure.
Recently complete noobs have started asking me how to buy bitcoin. They don't know anything whatsoever about it, they just want to find out how to buy it with fiat. You are probably right, they will see the dip as an early January sale and go fighting for the bargains while they can get them.

I just realized that I forgot to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
So, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
Now, Santa last evening gave me a new hard drive to replace the one in my old computer that crashed. I have since bought a new computer with Windows 10 installed, and that OS is a piece of shit, it kidnaps my computer for hours and it changes my settings and puts back things that I have removed, and you can't disable updates. And now I have learned that the CPU might spy on me. So that computer is going to be used for mining Bgold instead.
Since there seems to be some computer savvy guys on here I'm asking your advice.
I'm thinking of installing PureOS as my OS on my new hard drive. Are there any issues with that OS? like popular applications not working?
The new shit computer will get a GPU installed (also courtesy of Santa ) and will be used for mining Bgold. I have never mined before and I'm doing it mostly because I want the experience.
I know absolutely nothing about mining and will just follow the steps in the Bgold tutorial without actually knowing what I'm doing.
My question is, does it matter how the computer is connected to the router? Is it enough to use a wifi connection?
Or must I use a cable?
These M/S effers prompted me to voluntarily "upgrade" to Windows 10. After a day or two, I uninstalled.
Then they freaking tricked me into reinstalling it via auto "updates" a few months later.
USA is a freaking spy state.
Uninstall ASAP!
BTW Windows 7 is OK until you find something better.
Stay away from BCG.
Windows 8 doesn't stop working if you don't give it a product key. It just disables desktop backgrounds and reminds you to input a product key every now and then. There's no need to pay microsoft to use it, and you can disable updates. However, you're fucked if a new computer has no drivers available for it and the windows 10 ones don't work on 8.

The bitcoin wallet on my Purse.io account has perpetual money. I spend money once in a while, then go to spend again and there is even more money in there than the last time I bought something.
Just bought a Trezor at a 23% discount.
Each time I sell I find myself regretting it months later because I could have sold ten times higher. The dust left over from a transaction becomes worth more dollars than what I sold. You might find your trezor cost you $1000 in a few months, and that a few months after that the dust left over is worth enough to buy a new car.

That's the same as two brand new top of the range lambos! You could have had one to keep in the garage to use like a Sunday best suit, and another as a day to day runabout car.

Looks like its going with the 16k thing before the drop
I'm thinking the 78 fib line around 17,900. There should be significant resistance around 18K. If it can break through decisively, then who knows. A continuation of the exponential trend would suggest around 80K in Jan/Feb.
How do you decide where the lowest line starts?
Although I have a very basic understanding of Fibonacci sequences, I never figured out how people pick the low to start calculating from.

I've also sent some fiat to Kraken for some BTC shopping, and was thinking to buy as soon as the funds become available to spend. But I've been reading about expected dips to $10k or even $8k and lower... What to do? Will wait for a while and then make my move.
The kraken announcement thread gave me the impression that it's extremely difficult to log in, and that buying and selling is a bigger cluster fuck. Have you not experienced any problems there lately?

I doubt that trend will hold, but I don't think a big crash is likely either, despite scary looking head and shoulders pattern almost complete. I predict bitcoin will stay rangebound / flat until sometime in Feb, probably in a kind of wedge formation. Then a break up, perhaps to 50k.
I have frequently watched bitcoin do the opposite to what chart patterns indicate. Besides that the neckline is slanting the wrong way, which is supposed to indicate the head and shoulders won't follow through.

I'm confused. Everyone on this thread is supposedly so bullish that they are always 100% btc and never sell a single coin, and also that they dont trust any exchanges to hold their coins or fiat. However, then whenever the dip occurs they say they 'bought the dip' and profited tremendously - meaning they would have had to have sold for fiat and been on an exchange first. So which is it?
Jimbo only buys from bitcoin ATMs with money he earned. Thats how he buys the dips without selling for fiat and being on an exchange.
Good morning Bitcoinland.
I see I finally got my buying opportunity... currently $13252USD/$17019CAD (Bitcoinaverage).
It's a bloodbath all across cryptoland with Bitcoin suffering significantly less than most. As a result old coins are down to $15841USD/$20313CAD (Coinmarketcap).
Unfortunately my usual local ATM has gone crazy with insanely high buy fees and the nearest ATM with reasonable fees doesn't open for another 15 minutes.
Looks like I missed the bottom but this dip is still worth buying. I'd better get out and hail a cab so I can be there when they open their doors.

Yes, maybe you are right. Let's hope this dip is over soon!
Well it went up by $420 in five minutes. However that's noise nowadays. It's frightening when range bound means within a three thousand dollar range. It's not long since bitcoin cost $300 each, and range bound meant a thirty dollar range.

I think there is some fairly established procedure to sanitize Windows 10 into something resembling a loyal OS, but the sources are many and the devil is in the details.
1) stop windows update service (only reactivate when you install devices ... and desactivate after a reboot).
2) stop windows malware search.
3) done.
point 1 is the same for Win8 actually ... when an update can WIPE OUT the PC at factory reset (many problems like this and Win10 follow the same route because of massive update for drivers ... incompatibles drivers from Windows Update !!!).
There is a way of stopping the updates, although it's long and complex. The final step involves editing the registry, which can trash your operating system if you don't know what you are doing.
I tried it once and it worked on a test windows 10 installation. The auto updates wouldn't completely stop without that registry edit. However it was so much hassle I never installed windows 10 for daily use, and despite disabling updates still didn't trust it.

Get real. I've bet the family home on Tittycoin reaching $500 billion by summer.
Bitcoin still needs to fix its network congestion problems before it can be sure tittycoin is no longer a contender for highest market cap coin. Provided that fix isn't implemented by this summer your bet probably stands a chance. Hodl your tittycoins or you will be sorry.

What's ironic is that AlcoHoDL calls this person friend yet sets them up on Kraken. Friends don't let friends do Kraken.
Thankfully it all worked out.
LOL, you're right about Kraken, but it worked OK at the time...
Good thing is that he is now a HoDLer! A Ripple/Stellar HoDLer! He just logs in to Kraken to check his balance. Every other day he calls me and thanks me for what I've done for him. And whenever we go out for dinner or drinks, he always insists on paying the bill. So I got something out of it too, thanks XRP/XLM!
What, you're saying he can actually log in to the kraken every day? The comments in its announcement thread suggest it's sometimes impossible to log in, and if you can the trading engine is so broken that it can take hours to simply place an order.

The dip was largely due..... that is it.....just due.......no other excuses necessary. But as a news follower any excuse for a price justification seems valid when grasping for reasoning. How about you rely on non-news events instead of justifying price movements with poorly translated "news" articles. I find it amusing that these drops in prices seem to always be tied with articles that are of foreign nature to the language spoken/read in this thread.

The latest from MasterLuc:
I'm 90% sure that a giant triangle is drawn on the weekends. First, there are often triangles in a quadruple. Secondly, triangles are certainly after such a swing.
I think that this 2 month wave from 19800 to 5500 is the first wave A of the future triangle.
How long will the correction take? Well, if wave A lasted almost 2 months, then count. For about a year we will dance around ten.
I lived through most of 2015 dancing around $200, so I definitely could live with dancing around 10K for a while.
Theymos said he's happy with solid support at $5000, and so am I. If it dances around $10000 for months I'll be ecstatic.

That is a very good question, but we cannot just assume that it's because the whole population of the poor and mediocre are all depressed and suicidal deep inside. Even smart people seem to be more likely to be depressed and doubt one self. Because they tend to live more in their head and overthink things.
With the arrival of the information age I think we have produced way more smart people than ever before. The internet has become such a powerful tool to educate yourself, anybody with an cellphone has a tremendous amount of knowledge in their pocket. Too bad many people choose to not use it to it's fullest potential. So that could be one of the reasons why depression and suicide rates are climbing. I'm not sure I have not done research on this matter.
There were several polls where people tried to find a correlation between the income and happiness.
The population of US as a whole indicated that increases up to 75K/year would make them happier, but further increase would not (average US family income is about 50-53K).
Anyone earning ridiculous amounts of money will make people jealous. Coping with that jealousy would make most people miserable and depressed. Imagine parking your lambo then returning and finding someone jealous has scratched the paint work.

What are the technical developments of XRP, ETH, and EOS that surpass Bitcoin? It would be nice to know now, rather than a year from now.
XRP is good for making fast and cheap transactions. Scales better than bitcoin. Far from decentralized, but it gets the job done if you are in a hurry.

XRP is only good for making fast and cheap transactions when its network isn't heavily overloaded with transactions. Most public nodes become unavailable for requests when its network gets overloaded. It happened during the pump last December.

And another whole week of constant slow down-movement.
Well, maybe it goes to 10k again in the coming months.
or in the coming hours
Three weeks ago it was $6000. Nudging back up to $10000 from $9500 shouldn't take long. There was constant slow up movement between 4th Feb and 21 Feb. A slight correction for the last half a week is healthy.
