Regarding the fix...I have Armory installed in a truecrypt partition and I have no idea how to uninstall it. There's no "Uninstall button". Using control panel doesn't even list Armory. What do I do?

I also can't install the new version because it tells me I already have a different installation happening at the same time - WTF?

Expecting to get a bunch of hate for saying this, given it's the speculation subforum, but nonetheless...

A little disclaimer: I do not have a large amount of money invested in bitcoin at the point, so those of you with 10k+ invested (or at whatever amount that you specifically absolutely cannot lose or you life is over) may prefer to be a bit more hands-on with the prices. I only put a total of about $1,500 in at the beginning of March (when price was at 32), so me losing everything won't kill me if it comes to that. But....!

My advice: Stop looking at the price shifts every hour or every single time you check your phone or every time you wake up. It's not worth it. The way I figure is that bitcoin has a real shot at being legitimate and powerful at some point in the future, and I think that this is way too early to get excited over price shifts, no matter how much it goes up or down in any period of time. The value at this point is probably too high but the potential is definitely there for it to eventually be a lot higher, maybe even above a thousand. If you're a true believer and not just interested in making money then I believe you should put your trust in Lord Bitcoin and stop giving a crap. It is in IT's hands now. Put your faith in Lord Bitcoin and IT will reward you greatly in time. This is a new concept. Be excited that you're a part of it! Take the risk. Being an atheist I never thought I'd say this, but sometimes faith is better.

I suppose that if you're dead set on being a day trader, so be it. I don't have the time for that, nor am I a gambling man to begin with. I'm a long-term holder. I made myself too stressed out when the crash/correction occurred for nothing. Yes I could have made $3,500 if I sold at 250 pre-crash and bought in a crap ton right now, but we all know hindsight's 20/20, right?

Do stay aware of big swings and take note, but don't touch your coins. Even if it looks like it's going to zero. It won't. Even if it goes to 0.0001/$ per bitcoin, HOLD! If you're willing to take the risk on a newfangled currency and invest in the first place, you should have the guts to hold your coins no matter how bleak it seems. If you're dead set on not losing money, sell to break even. Then if you lose everything you won't lose anything.

Really glad I only had a couple bucks in there.

tl;dr: (Wikipedia) The earliest use of the term began among a group of teenagers in San Rafael, California in 1971,[2][3] calling themselves the Waldos,[4] because "their chosen hang-out spot was a wall outside the school".[5] The group first used the term in connection to a fall 1971 plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop that they had learned about.[4][6] The Waldos designated the Louis Pasteur statue on the grounds of San Rafael High School as their meeting place, and 4:20 p.m. as their meeting time.[5] The Waldos referred to this plan with the phrase "4:20 Louis". Multiple failed attempts to find the crop eventually shortened their phrase to simply "4:20", which ultimately evolved into a codeword that the teens used to mean pot-smoking in general.[6]

I don't think we'll see anything significant due to 4/20 being reflected on bitcoin. The volume that SR makes up isn't that large to begin with.

But I certainly will be celebrating!

Hi,

I've lurked here without registering for a few months and in that time have learned a great deal about bitcoin. In fact, I already have about 1.5k in investment speculation, and there's been a lot of hubdub in the last few days that made me want to post in the non-newb subforums, but alas!

Whitelist me please?

How I wish I had started mining back when bitcoin just started happening. Would have had thousands upon thousands of bitcoins by now!

In my experience with forums, those that have newbie rules do so at their benefit. Too easy to spam otherwise.

It should correct itself at some point, probably around the 30 mark. The bubble was expected, but with any luck it will go back up in another month.

Bitfloor is being slow too! I should have traded when it was at 48 last night! I bought 1k worth at 34 and I need to get them out of there! To be honest, I'm sure that the price will go back up again at some point, and I am in here for the long haul, but it would have been nice to make some money purely by the price rise. Oh well..

Doubtful. The current crash was expected...nothing to do about it, but I'm confident that bitcoin will settle out eventually and be a force in the years to come.

Just be patient. If you're sure that you sent the coins to the *correct* address, they will show up eventually. Sometimes the network is just slow.

Hey guys, I'm Gobbletooth, and I like to gobble up bitcoins. I lurked here for a few months but decided to finally make an account - this forum is so helpful.

Started investing in bitcoin...hoping it goes somewhere.
