I think this is a fantastic proposal and would even be willing to help with the development effort. I look forward to future threads on this topic and will jump in as time allows.

It appears likely that you have a Trojan/Malware on your computer posing as AdobeUpdate.

This was very likely used by a remote intruder to take a copy of your wallet file(s) and to run a keylogger that captured your password.

Pitty he didn't provide a digital signature with that post. 

Another scenario that may be more likely/viable than LENR is mining Gold from asteroids:

How about you do all the work for us sellers and we'll just buy up whatever you sell ok? How's that? What do you say stupid?

Thanks for the cheap coins stupid.

Buyers don't care, they snap the cheap coins right up.

The sellers do all the hard work selling their bitcoins for cheap.

Oh I'm sure the lawsuits will go on for years. MtGox: truly legendary.

This biafore guy is all over the board.

Here he is offering to buy goxBTC with 10 (real) BTC to trade:

Here he is making a 1 BTC bet regarding Gox (nobody took him up on this one)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=457474.msg5046019#msg5046019

Also claims he has coins on 4 different markets.

Hard to tell what is truth and fantasy with this guy.

But at least one thing is clear, he made a bet with RB and now he's backed out of paying it. You can be sure if he won the bet that he'd be demanding payment.

Guy deserves a SCAMMER tag unless he pays up pronto on the bet he lost and with real BTC.

You do know the process for reporting those who don't follow through on bets, don't you?

Just post your evidence to:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0

This will likely result in biafore's account being labelled as scammer. Bets are considered just as serious a transaction as any other market transaction here and this should be an open and shut case.

Yep still seeing this in 1.9.7.

Here's a question. My Mycellium wallet received some of these Enjoy/Sochi spam/dust transactions for 1 satoshi each that have been going around. However, not enough fees were included in these transactions so they will likely never confirm.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1xin5m/suspicious_lots_of_bitcoin_wallets_just_received/

If I now send an outgoing transaction from my wallet, is Mycellium smart enough to not use inputs from these unconfirmed transactions? If not then we have a denial-of-service problem because I will have generated a transaction that will be stuck and also unconfirmed.

This is exactly the behavior I saw happen in my Electrum wallet today as well (which did try to spend the input from these spam/unconfirmed transactions) and it sounds like their developers will be fixing it.

LOL... IKR? Someone is sounding butt hurt and a little too eager to slam Bitfinex and shill for BTC-E.

Bitfinex is far from perfect but at least they seem to be working hard to improve things over time.

I personally only trust BTC-E for straight unleveraged trades and nothing more.

And cash in they will, and they definitely won't be encouraging people to invest in bitcoins directly...

"What that means is you shouldn't bet the farm on Bitcoin because you don't need to!"

In subsequent videos I believe they propose selling you materials that will teach you "How to Trade Bitcoin!". Who makes more profit in that scenario? ;-)

Not for me apparently... just started timing out on connection:

Here's to hoping they significantly expand the insurance fund used by liquidity providers if they decide to bring back 4 to 1 leverage.

Your math is off by an order of magnitude:

10 BTC @.005% per day is:

1% = .01 so 0.005% = .00005

10 * .00005 = 0.0005 BTC per day * 30 = 0.015 BTC per month

But actually it will be slightly less due to fees 10% of interest (or 30% if you take the insurance option).

In case you don't hear from support, I ran into the exact same problem. This is not documented at all but you have to specify the currency of your offer in upper case (example: USD, not usd). If you specify in lower case you'll get that useless error message "Invalid offer: not enough balance", because you don't have any usd balance only USD balance. Same for BTC. 

I only discovered this fact through trial and error.

It is pretty apparent that the lending/borrowing engine has significant issues with matching orders in a timely matter. It is likely designed using a background process on the server that waits for a fixed period of time (minutes) before checking if there are matches rather than checking for matches each time an order is added.

However, even then the match can fail. There are a number of possible reasons (all bugs) that would cause this behavior. For example perhaps the match fails due to slight order amount mismatches (Example: 2.50 != 2.501 ) even though amounts exactly match on the display because the amounts are rounded to 2 decimal places.

Also they should do away with maximum/minimum lending times in general as this just adds another confusing and unnecessary dimension. There should be two markets ... one for the instantaneous variable rate loans ( < 2 day) and a second market for fixed length/rate term loans (15 days, 30 days etc..). Putting them all together just makes it unnecessarily complicated.

And how many major credit card brands are there?

Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, Discover

I rest my case.
