Quote:My CapitalOne360 account finally funded, so I can finally send in some money to Bitfloor to trade with. At the current rate of decline prices might be pretty attractive by the time the funds are available
Oh man, tough break. That was the wrong time to sign up on BitFloor. All this BTC exchange trouble is a serious problem. BitFloor Shuts Down Permanently
Quote:So… who doubled their money on Bitcoin!?Whoa, prices are continuing to go back up. I haven’t doubled my money, but I’m close. I’m not selling them though, in for the long haul to see what happens.
Quote:I haven’t doubled my money, but I’m close. I’m not selling them thoughSell, wait for the drop, rebuy.
Repeat.
The BitFloor situation sucks, but at least it looks like investors will see their money come back to them, even if it bites to be losing the gains.
Yeah, I’m done with it. Bitfloor fell through & the 1 order I had with Coinbase that was scheduled to fill today was cancelled as “high risk” (my guess is that the price is higher now, so they don’t want to fill my order at the lower price it was locked in at.)
Quote:& the 1 order I had with Coinbase that was scheduled to fill today was cancelled as “high risk”Oh man that sucks!! Not that I’m surprised, and no doubt had the price dropped further you’d have seen that option traded.
Bitcoins are getting quite high again, $155 now.
Quote:So… who doubled their money on Bitcoin!?I have doubled my money now, hooray! Still not selling, of course.
The few cents worth I earned browsing sites is up to $.06 now. Woohoo!
Bitfloor shutdown before I could buy any there, but I didn’t lose any money as the transfer I had initiated just failed to complete and the money went back to my account.
I complained to CoinBase about them cancelling my order as “high risk” and they apologized, said they whitelisted my account so that it wouldn’t happen again, and then manually reinstated the order at the original price ($99). Then 6hrs later I got another “cancelled due to high risk” email from them. I emailed them again and they apologized again and say they’ve fixed it again, but I still don’t see the order as pending or anything. I don’t have much faith in them ever filling it and am not planning on trying to buy any more since it’s such a PITA.
BTW saw on Reddit that China was the top downloader of the BTC client on 4/23. http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1d0iqv/yesterday_was_possibly_the_first_day_in_history/
Buying bitcoins (let alone trading them across exchanges/currencies) is one of the most frustrating experiences OF MY LIFE!!!!!
Just got another email from Coinbase. This one letting me know that my order finally went through so I finally have a bitcoin.
I briefly considered selling it for a quick profit, but it was such a pain to get that I hate to let it go now.
Quote:I briefly considered selling it for a quick profit, but it was such a pain to get that I hate to let it go now.So what did you finally pay?
Keep an eye today ladies and gents, it looks to me like the market is about to take another slide again…
I just sold an iPad for 3.15 BTC. Feeling pretty futuristic right now.

For anyone interested in gambling your bitcoins:
sealswithclubs.eu is a great poker site and they even have a freeroll every hour
an MMO casino. some of the games take a little bit to get to know but you can win (or lose) lots of money in this game. One day i went from .3btc to 20btc in about 2 hours just playing the benches game (lost it all the next day but that’s gambling for you)
also it has soldiers that give out free bitmills
you used to be able to buy BTC in game directly with a credit card but not sure if that feature is still around
Quote:No, to Margus!Margus likes trading in iPad’s! I traded for his iPad mini just recently.
I have an ‘as new’ Panasonic 3D Blu-Ray player and a stack of movies I might just be willing to trade for 3 BTC… Any offers!?

BUY BUY BUYIf I could find a pile of bitcoins to piss on I would. I bought back in heavily this week at an (averaged out) price of $83, and literally each time I’ve executed my buys the price has pipped up for 2-3 minutes before dropping off like a blind man run several steps past a cliff edge. Some ridiculous dumps taking place at every price point. It’s not helping that I’m trading on Bitstamp, which only turns over 1/6 volume of MtGox, so day trading on margin is as painful I’d imagine as having a cactus plant stuck where the sun don’t shine. Well almost anyway.
I decided to buy in again having spent so much time investigating and discussing the technology and bitcoin itself. I was also expecting the price to jump on MtGox’s reinstatement of $US withdrawals on July 3rd. It did drag the price up for a while, then it seems like the US couldn’t be arsed over July 4th and the whole market took a nap. Between the combination of what must be small to medium holders panicking, and some heavy hitters dropping huge sells (I’ve watched several $100k+ sell orders pass), bitcoin has taken an ass whipping.
I’m not sure I see it lasting long term the way so many fanatics believe it will after watching it be so manipulated this week. Even if I cast aside the very real world likelihood that any conceivable combination of (US) government agencies, banks, & you name it will throw everything imaginable at the market to remove public trust in the coin, and even if all the merchants on the planet start accepting it as means of payment, how do you take away market manipulation? You can argue that ‘price’ doesn’t matter if it’s to become (chiefly) a means of money transmission, but if I’m a trader accepting coin that nose dives 10% in a day, I’m probably not going to be in business for too long. If it were ‘standardised’ to a set price point (let’s for arguments sake say $1 per bitcoin), with a global transaction rate written in, then it stands up long term. As of now I just don’t see it lasting, even if it is one of the most fascinating phenomenon for any number of (disruptive) reasons.
If anyone needs me I’ll be sat at my two computer screens shouting obscenities/celebrating upticks/shouting obscenities…
