I don't know which charts you are looking at, but I must be reading them wrong. The volume has been insane ever since the peak.

see what happened next in my example:

One might call it the "quiet before the storm".

Hi Coincrazy, basically what you do is sign-up at: https://campbx.com/main.php, which is an exchange (like Mt.Gox).

They accept Dwolla, which can be signed-up to here: http://dwolla.com/

Dwolla accepts direct bank transfers, like Coinbase.

OH! Another place to buy from is Coinbase, but the only problem is that they limit you to 10/day until you hold your BTC for 30 days. Upon which they'll raise your limit to 50/day.

I hope that helps!

alright, I'll try but its hard to explain. I'm a graphical person so words are hard to come by.

If you use the list command, "ls", you can see the directories and other files on your current location. If you want more help, type in "man ls". I assume your distro has man pages installed but maybe not. If not just google, "man ls". I like to use "ls -hilt" which will list in an easy to read format

So now you know what is at your current location. So type "cd [some location]" to go to [some location].

Now I think you want to find out where your USB drive is. Well, I suggest typing "ls ../../" and DON'T hit Enter. Hit the TAB and you should see the structure of the directory above your home directory. Does this make sense? OK, now complete "ls ../../" with a directory you would like to search. The "../../" means one-up.

Hmm, I found a website that might better explain:

http://arachnoid.com/linux/shell_programming.html

I think it would be useful for me too.

Linux is best!

Which linux distro do you have running?

You should be able to open the terminal using CTRL+ALT+t or CTRL+ALT+F1.

basic commands:

cd [some place] = go to
for example, Go back to the topmost location by typing cd ~

In Ubuntu linux, you can find the usb drive by typing cd ../../ and then hitting TAB to give a list to show where you can go next. I think USB would be in a place called /media

You're going to have to read up on this but it's more simpler than DOS. That's what I think.

No there is only the multibit.org machine to download from.
It has a 100 Mb/s network card so you probably caught it when it was servicing a number of requests.

Downloads are at about 100 GB per day out of a theorectical max of 1 TB.

The 0.5.9 code is about 10 MB per download rather than 30 MB so that will help for a while.

How is that?  Even at its worst most people in Cyprus will not have lost as much purchasing power or stored value as people who bought above $100.  Fiat, in most countries, is a much, much safer place to store money than bitcoin.

LOL

If you think the fair value of a Bitcoin is $300k you really have been utterly deranged by avarice.  The hype is dying down, and the Bitcoin market is rapidly running out of 'greater fools'. The fair value of a Bitcoin for most people is zero, because that is the monetary utility it offers them. Whilst the novelty of being able to secure a small number of goods and services with Bitcoin will no doubt sustain the fanatics, it will not maintain the interest of many beyond that group.

I find CampBX + Dwolla a fast'ish, simple and secure combo.

Hi everyone, Im just wondering if people in general would like an easier way to get bitcoins?

there are sights now that let you buy bitcoins as long as they have bitcoins but usualy dont and they charge a 1% fee, also you need to set up an account and verrification procces and all this hoop la that takes about four - five days.   come on this is (at least here) AMERICA and we have the attention span of a one year old. also once you buy them you have to wate about a week or two to get them. plezzzzz

so what other options? a shady moneygram cash deposit? that falls threw the cracks and if you try to call or email or live chat that is not live you get what? nothing. 400 down the drain and a big pain in the butt.

now whats left? options are scarce and people want it cheep and easy.

what if there were some sort of way that could get you your coins quick and easy. one way would be a credit card, just type in your numbers and how much you want to buy and the destination bitcoin address and bam you get your coins. but the problem here is with a CC you get people who might dispute the charges and then what, you cant get your coins back because they are gone, they are anonymous.  

so that got me thinking what if there was a way that let you buy bitcoins in about a day, a 2% fee (in the middle of 1% for the five day set up thing and a 4% for the coins in a few hour thing.) and in about a day you get your coins.  Im thinking what if people went and got those green dot money cards, they put however much they want to spend on it, they send the start up company the coad on the back, they then verify the funds and wait till they get funded (about 4 hours max) then they see what the going rate is and send them the coins to the bitcoin address that they gave them. you cannot dispute charges on a greendot money card, so no problems with the merchant and you can be anonymous as a buyer with this.

this would take less then a day to processes but just to be safe it would say about a 24 hour turn around.

ok now give me your thoughts on this, would you be interested?
do you see any problems that may arise of such a company were to start up.  
would you use this service?
would you feel more or less comfortable using this service compared to the others out there?
do you think there is a market for such a service?

let me know, please CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, I dont care if you think its a bad idea but tell me WHY you think this and how to solve any issues that it might have.

thank you kindly everyone!!!!  (got a little bit longer than i wanted)

 

You can see all the markets here: http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/

Edit: and that's a LOT of red! lol

This is true but Royal families failed to see the paradigm shift the industrialists create with fractional reserved banking and new forms of wealth ultimately leading them to there demise.  Bitcoin creates a new paradigm shift of equal proportion.  It may even allow for a solutions to the problems Marx's struggled with - reconciling land as property in Adam Smith's free market.

...and now a little support at $60, from all the people who missed at $55.... that's a corner turning right there....

In other news, the China markets are way below Gox, which is rare. I'm looking to see a spike there.
