    BitCoin - Intellectual Fraud or a Stunning Idea??

    yes they are, those guys are out of their depth and dont have the intellect to hire a real team to build the platform. When mtgox first started it was using mostly javascripts and form submits as a trading system, absolute joke. Said this many times, if we have a stable well executed...

    Bitcoin thread anyone?

    lol yeah pretty much, like buying virtual goods in those mmorpg(online games). That was a very old quote right around the time mtgox got going, it's the reason i built my own hardware to mine instead of buying from the market- because there was no place to transact and i wanted to own some btc...

    Bitcoin thread anyone?

    Check bitcointalk.org forum, but you are way too late to the game. -------------- The good news from all this chaos is it looks like there are a few serious attempts to build a stable exchange in the works, to replace the joke that is mtgox.

    BitCoin - Intellectual Fraud or a Stunning Idea??

    hits $250+ then hits ~$100...in 1 day. :eek: total volume dollar wise is still minuscule at ~$20m, wonder if mtgox itself is manipulating their own exchange. wild west x 100

    BitCoin - Intellectual Fraud or a Stunning Idea??

    lol never thought i would see the day atticus buys some bitcoins. Yeah i never leave anything in mtgox, always transfer out asap. That shop is(was?) just a bunch of kids in the basement, their site got killed/hacked so many times in the past, you have no recourse if they take or lose your...

    Bitcoin thread anyone?

    It's peer to peer, noone can shut it down. Also the US govt can make it illegal for us-based companies to accept it as currency but it will be very difficult to make it illegal to transact bitcoin. It would be the same as making collecting bottle caps or stamps illegal, as there is no copyright...

    Bitcoin thread anyone?

    bitcoin is at $40+ now, all doubters suck it :p the downside is my miner's coin generation rate has slowed significantly, as everyone and their mothers jump in the mining game making the hashrate to uncover 1 bitcoin much higher than before. https://mtgox.com

    Apple - great company but -------

    You are missing the software - ios is exclusive to apple/iphone and plays a significant part. No matter how cheap & nicer the competition hardware is, they are still limited by android, nothing else can run ios.... rimm did not die because of price, they died because of software & poor ui...

    At least 18 kids dead....

    <0.01% excluding the military. Even cops do not carry guns unless responding to a special situation. ----------- The simple fact is a knife is much less efficient than guns to kill people given the same condition & situation, that is undebatable. The tragedy in china is one of many examples...

    KCG down due to rumor of algo gone wild

    one of my tenant works there, hope he can still pay the rent, **** software bugs happen, i just dont get how they dont have a separate monitoring process in place to trigger the killswitch, especially since it's part of your core business. If you need to wait until the exchange to tells you...
