well great, I can kiss my 11 cents in my account goodbye.   I could've bought a tootsie roll with that!   Angry

in all seriousness, this sucks.  I loved the bank account cash deposit feature

Tux has replaced the missing BTC.

oh wow.  How many BTC are we talking about here?  So can I now log in to my own account from some foreign VPN or Tor, withdraw my own bitcoins and claim I was hacked and get free BTC?  Or do I have to have one of those "staff" labels to qualify?  

he spent 17000 BTC bailing out Bitomat.  he could've just let them and their btc holders die on the vine and he would've been better off than buying a worthless exchange.

so is that a 'yes' answer to my question?  Awesome, everybody load up, bitcoin bailouts for all!

Nice.  Just curious, what is the relationship between MemoryDealers.com and exchangebitcoins.com?  Are you just buying advertising for them for free, or do you own a stake in this exchange?  Obviously its none of my business but like I said, curious.

I thought this was a good episode, I liked the no-agenda freeform discussion format.  It reminded me of the 'This Week in Startups' show on bitcoin that featured a sort of open discussion with  Gavin Andresen and Amir Taaki

Re: Slight glitch in the bitcoin client?

There's so little to this that hopefully there's another explaination but I'm seeing one.  I had 0.30239966 bitcoins and I tried to send 0.3 to someone.  It warned me that because it was over a size limit, it was going to charge 0.005 so I accepted and now I have 0.00 as a wallet balance but the transaction went through.  That means it only paid .00239966 as a fee.  That's not 0.005 so that's not supposed to happen right?

I have had this happen to me also, the fee was much higher than the normal 0.005 and it took the remainder of my bitcoins as the fee

they could wait until the majority of clients on the network are on devices they control, like smartphones.   If bitcoin takes off, could we see >50% of the nodes being android or similar devices being used at points of sale by consumers?    If so, could they not silently inject a bad client?  Assuming the US government can remotely inject code to your phone, which many people believe they have been able to control mobile phones for years

Re: Zen Cart Bitcoin Payment Module

small donation sent, thanks for your contribution to the bitcoin community.

are there any problems with multiple zen cart installations sharing the same bitcoind?
It seems to work at first glance, both instances show all transactions from both sites in the Bitcoin Payment area, but  orders only get highlighted/linked in the correct respective site it was ordered from so that's good.

how long do I need to wait for bitcoins to qualify as not 'recently received' ?
I'm interested in this answer as well... though I suspect it's not a set limit, just a linear or logarithmic score based on age.


well I waited about 12 hours and I was able to send w/ no fee so there is one data point

Re: Zen Cart Bitcoin Payment Module

Hey,
I haven't forgotten about my donation pledge, I'm just waiting for some customers to spend bitcoin in my store.

I do have a couple of comments on issues that have popped up for me with the zen cart bitcoin module -


lets say the BTC/USD exchange rate today was $17, and I have an item in my store that costs $17.  I set the price in the zen cart backend in USD and the default currency to USD, but then in the template files I switch that to BTC as you have suggested so my prices  show up as BTC on the store. 

Now lets say someone orders that item, it will correctly tell them the price is 1 BTC and give the payment address.  But when I go to the zen cart admin area,  Extra->Bitcoin Payment Center it shows
Order 1 |  Due 17 BTC | Received 1 BTC

in other words, it puts the USD price in as what is Due, and even after they paid in full (in BTC) it shows Pending because the module thinks they haven't paid in full due to being confused about the currency.



Secondly, it would be neat if it automatically cancelled orders after X number of hours with no payment.  I have been getting people who have never heard of bitcoins and/or don't have any, but go through the whole checkout process and then just never pay.  I guess they just want to see what a bitcoin checkout looks like, and had no intentions of paying in the first place.  Or, they think I'm listing a $17 item for $1 (ignoring the bitcoin symbol listed next to the price I guess) so they think they are getting some amazing deal and then when they go to check out and there is no place to put a credit card or paypal info (just lists a bitcoin address) they are like 'WTF is a Bitcoin?' and leave and never return.   

So I should try and mod the zen cart files so it gives some kind of warning like 'don't checkout if you don't already have bitcoins and are ready to spend them', but it would also be cool if the system automatically canceled orders after say 24 hours w/o payment.

I love bitcoin,  but it seems people don't want to spend something they think is going up in value.  Gresham's Law and what not.  
People complain that there is nothing you can buy with bitcoin, well now you can buy almost anything with bitcoin but people don't want to spend them except to trade them for fiat.

bitcoin-only merchants might have to start accepting credit cards and paypal if they want to actually sell things, and just use the fact that they accept bitcoin as a marketing gimmick.

If Mt Gox does not become irrelevant, it only speaks to the stupidity of its users.

this... reminds me of the Ultimate Bet/Absolute Poker 'superuser' scandal in which they had admins secretly playing in 'god mode' able to see everyone's cards, and siphoned millions of dollars out of the games. Yet people still play there to this day

2. Download SierraChart feed for MtGox market.

Just curious, I've not used SierraChart before - is there a reason this feed is distributed as an executable file?  After Goxgate and new bitcoin malware in the wild I'm sure we're all on high alert about running executable code claiming to be bitcoin related. (not that I believe this file is malicious, just sayin)

is there no way to configure sierrachart for bitcoin feeds without running this executable?
