jre posted:huge bullshit buy walls are usually a harbinger of a crash, it'd disappeared almost as soon as I'd taken the screenshot. at least it's not as bad as before, at least for gox you used to be able to put up orders for whatever amount and when your order got called up it would then deduct whatever $/  from your account up to the total amount you have (including none) and then cancel the restthere used to be huge gently caress you walls that may or may not be funded, now at least from what i understand it'll actually check your balances and freeze your bid's counterpart value until it's accepted or cancelled i don't have an account on gox (or any other butt platform for that matter) but if they properly cargo culted there should be a stop loss call option that basically allows you to play price chicken, where if i put my thing at n i can ask the platform to cancel my bid if it gets to n+/-1 of course, even though this should execute server side, gox lag is a cruel mistress and i'm sure many a sperg have been overrun this way, but it gives the impression of market depth i wouldn't be especially surprised if gox itself put it's own money (or fake money altogether) up like this fake e: after effort postin' i checked the walls and the one at 500 just went from 9.8k to 5.4k in a single go e2: and it's now down to 1054 like 40 seconds after, not sure why the first drop didn't trace but that might be bitcoinity's fault

The best thing is whatever Gox does will hurt Bitcoin. If they close up shop, and fail to give proper funds to the Bitcoiners, they're a huge hit to the idea of unregulated exchanges. If they start working again and let customers take out Bitcoin, the arbitrage will be huge and drag the other exchanges down to Gox's price.

BobHoward posted:link? esr schadenfreude best schadenfreude eric s rainman posted:Because I'm a VA [VA Linux Systems, ticker LNUX] board member, under SEC regulations there's a six-month lockout on the shares (a regulation designed to keep people from floating bogus offerings, cashing out, and skipping to Argentina before the share price crashes). So it's not strictly true that I'm wealthy right now. I will be wealthy in six months, unless VA or the U.S. economy craters before then. I'll bet on VA; I'm not so sure about the U.S. economy :-).  though to be fair he immediately followed that quote by saying he doesn't really care about his personal wealth and restated that in another article after the stock plummeted. idk he might be a buttcoiner for the stupid political reasons though

"There is actually one good thing for us about economic slumps. During them, IT departments and software users in general feel pressure to cut costs. That makes low-cost and free software more attractive. Over the next few months you can expect to see a lot of submarine Linux deployments suddenly surfacing as managers realize that they'll look *good* on their quarterlies if they cut their licensing and service costs, and as the techies working for them get that message and fess up to how many NT boxes they've been replacing by stealth." yeah ok

Why it's annoying to get paid in bitcoin (self.Bitcoin) submitted 9 minutes ago by dont-give-me-gold I thought it'd be cool to get paid in bitcoin for my full-time job. It was at first, whenever I needed cash I'd sell what I need on localbitcoins.com and cover my expenses like paying off my credit card. Everything could be done online which was awesome! Then my bank CIBC flagged me, froze my account, gave me a talk about how bitcoin is used for money laundering and drugs and that I can't take cash deposits from across the country on my personal account. If I were to do that again my account would be closed and from now on my account was being watched carefully. I started using my TD account and now the same thing has happened. Frozen account, talk to manager in branch...

Class Action Lawsuit in the future? (self.Bitcoin) submitted 11 minutes ago by BringOnDaLawyers It seems like the Bitcoin Foundation is making decisions which impact the entire community. Recently they actively choose to deny that the malleability bug was a danger to anyone except MtGox. It was obvious later that this statement was not true. There was probably an internal email exchange among developers and members which determined what they would tell the public about the problem. I have a difficult time believing they were not aware at that point that this would impact the entire community. So I think to myself, how long before we see a class action lawsuit against the Bitcoin Foundation for knowingly misleading the community. When the wheels start turning, I'll be on that bus. I love America.
