Re: What would be the most effective way to stabilize BTC price?

Just as a thought... if the bitcoin community at large spent a great amount of time on PR and either started offering valuable services at a discounted rate if BTC is used or convinced businesses to offer certain services for BTC, you might see prices regulate and become more stable.
That's what we're doing already. You're welcome to join.

What are you strategies for hardening the Bitcoind?

I'm not saying it's difficult to get in working. I'm saying it's difficult to do it right.

I was looking for advices on the Bitcoin.conf, or Intrusion Prevention, ...


Plus I wouldnt never directly connect to bitcoind, as every input needs to be validated and sanitized

Bitcoind Server Implementation

At the moment I use the Lazy API for all my shops, but I would like to host my own Bitcoind instance.

I don't trust third party services, and I dont want to locally host the Bitcoind instance in the webserver.

Is there any open source framework to expose the BitcoinD via an HTTPS service?  Or at least a tutorial?

How do you guys do?

I see the current situation as a good opportunity for people to get near early adopter prices for Bitcoin.

...  and thus the cycle begins again.  This is exactly why I don't like the deflationary model.

The deflationary model has a very important social aspect in that it creates interest for Bitcoin before it becomes actually useful as a medium of exchange.


I like your point.

Anyhow as said elsewhere many times, we need to build a Bitcoin Economy if we want a stable Bitcoin.

The nice part is that a stable Bitcoin is not needed to start a Bitcoin Economy, even though it is very benefical to it. Sellers can immediately convert the Bitcoin, and stay safe of the exchange rate, while still contributing to the Bitcoin Economy by creating a flow of value.

What we really need is to stop is Bitcoin Robberies. Everytime a Hacker get his hands on a large ammount of Bitcoin, the value plummet along with trust and credibility.

A currency not backed up by an army is a very big challange...

Discrete Card not powering up

Hello guys,

I wanted to try mining but I'm having some issues.

I use ubuntu with AMD E350 and Radeon HD5850.

I was able to mine with the integrated GPU, but the HD5850 isn't working. It doesnt show up in list adapter, and the fan doesn't turn on.

I have plugged a cable in the output, do I need to connect it to a monitor? (I have none around)

Anyone else with the same issue?

A lot of very bullish commentary here unsuprisingly as we are all Bitcoin lovers Smiley
I however would argue that Bitcoins recent blaze of publicity starting from its parity with the dollar, all the way up to the MTGox fiasco has bought a lot of attention and new users which have pushed value upwards. As the both the spectacular and the distasters die down, I would expect a downwards trend as some adopters drift away.

So you don't think that more people will start to use Bitcoins?

I think the price will continue to slowly fall as long as there are early adopters willing to sell.

Forget terabytes of internet traffic.  A real useful metric would be one that Theymos regularly calculates: number of unspent generations.  (or in other words, number of coins that have been mined but have never participated in any transaction, as determined by scanning the blockchain).  Last time I asked him, that figure was 2.4 million BTC, with over 3/4 of those coins being before block 70000 (in other words, mined before July 2010).

Number of unspent generation is a very good indicator, but I think we should look at the market from a different perspective: Bitcoin is still expanding. More and more people use it.

Now most of the transactions come from Bitcoin speculation. In the future, more and more of these transactions will be originated by merchants, thus driving the value up. And IF value constantly goes up, people will be more willing to hold bitcoins.

In synthesis, as long as new adopters will put liquidity in the market by buying small bitcoin ammounts, the price should go up. Now we have less people on the internet, thus less people able to spend. Let's speak again about this around december...

It's the summer, price will slowly go down until mid september. Then, it will start to massively grow again.


I bet 1 BTC that there is a strong statistical correlation between Bitcoin Price and Worldwide traffic in Terabytes.
