getting hiiiiigghhh 
Gettin highhhhh and buying 1000s of bitcoinsssss for SR
bought out or taken down?
Volume is over 20k in 15 mins, so I assume bought!
Hey zhou, I was trying to write a Java application to use with the Bitcoinica API, but I seem to be having trouble with the authentication? I can put in https://username:password@www.bitcoinica.com/api/orders.json?n=5 in my browser and it works fine, but I get an Unauthorized exception thrown when I try it in my application. My application grabs all data that does not require authentication just fine, but anything that requires it throws exceptions. Any idea what is the problem?
This is the code I'm using to request the data.
public String getSomething(String urlStr) throws IOException {
URL url = new URL(urlStr);
HttpURLConnection conn =
(HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
if (conn.getResponseCode() != 200) {
throw new IOException(conn.getResponseMessage());
}
// Buffer the result into a string
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line;
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line);
}
rd.close();
conn.disconnect();
return sb.toString();
}

I'm no Java expert, but it sounds like your HTTP library doesn't handle un/pw in the url like you are expecting.
A quick googling yields this, which may help:

Ah, thanks, that helped a lot. I'll admit I forgot to google this time...

Now, anyone who's had the questionable fortune to read some of my other posts can easily see that I don't have no truck for no hoodoo nohow. I may view all the Semitic religions as an ancient curse on humanity, but I just can't get too worked up about Ouija boards and the like.
I used to frequent another investment discussion board where one of the folks ran an astrology thread and would regularly clue us all in to secrets hidden in the stars. I don't recall anyone, at least for not very long, getting bent out of shape about it, it was just for fun.
That's my take on this discussion, have fun. I hope I'm not insulting astrology fans by patronizing them, that's not my intent.

Exactly, once they start telling us to track down and kill the manipulators or non-believers in astrology, then lets get upset, mean, and critical. I think its silly to believe things without empirical evidence that they work (not trying to get into an argument about what evidence there may be for astrology), but its still fun to check out, and maybe it will even give you some insight/useful advice (like be careful about your overleveraged position on Bitcoinica because mars is over there).
whats the astro forecast for this week?
just generally & not taking these Bitcoin charts in to account, then I'd say that with Mars & Pluto standing still in the zodiac then appearing to change direction, these both being symbols of strength & energy we may see shifts in the balance of power - perhaps those who thought that they were pulling Bitcoin's strings may find that they've been outmaneuvered (think Wall Street - the first film & also literally). The gloves would be coming off & I'd expect things to get nasty - get the weekend popcorn in. Sparks should start to fly on Saturday & Sunday will be grim for many (forced liquidation being the order of the day I imagine) the aspects being serious, discouraging & a time to need to face present realities
But whooo is getting zhoutonged Otoh? I need to know whether I should be long or short.
And the Elliot Davers have been making money FYI.... or at least Wave's have, but he accounts for more than just Elliot Daves.
I'm not so sure that this data is correct, does it really move that fast?

BTC/USD Long Position
We charge you USD Sell interest, and pay you BTC Buy interest every hour.
BTC/USD Short Position
We charge you BTC Sell interest, and pay you USD Buy interest every hour.
We charge you USD Sell interest, and pay you BTC Buy interest every hour.
BTC/USD Short Position
We charge you BTC Sell interest, and pay you USD Buy interest every hour.
And BTC sell interest dove an hour or so ago, thus the positive swap rate.
Check out the interest rate chart on bitcoinica (http://charts.bitcoinica.com/interest_rates), the dips are where the short swap went positive, this dip does seem to have lasted longer than the last few though.
Edit: and as I predicted it just flipped back. I may start a subscription service for swap rates....
Not still, we flipped back to -.15 or so within an hour, and we will probably flip back there again within an hour.
Its now 4.40 5.45 5.5 etc up to 5.00

Blue= Monthly nasdaq composite close Nov-95 to Feb-2012
Red= Monthly Unadjusted Gold Ounce/USD Jan-1976 to April-1992
Should we use gold to predict Nasdaq?

from this graph alone it looks rather like Nasdaq leads gold.
Nasdaq graph starts 19 years after the start of the gold graph.
Sorry. I'll process it for you within 24 hours.
I have credited you $25, should be more than enough to cover your losses. Again, we apologize for the problems.
Thank you Zhou, just wondering if that should be reflected in my account yet because it hasn't shown up, or if I should wait another 13 or so hours? Just wanted to make sure it didn't accidentally get sent to another account or lost on the interwebz somehow, my Bitcoinica account name is matharis just for reference again.
Sorry to keep pestering you, but the $25 it still hasn't shown up in my account? Did some other lucky Bitcoinica user get a random $25?
Still nothing....
Before I start, I would like to clearly state that I know nothing about Economics.
Alright so with April 20th coming up (420), I assume business on the Silk Road is going to be a little more then usual. So I'd imagine that soon people are going to be buying up some BTC and get their 420 orders in. Just guessing here. So with that said, will this drive the value of the Bitcoin up/down in the coming weeks? I am a miner, so should I start saving up my bitcoins, and sell them in a few weeks? Or do you think 4/20/12 will even have an effect on the Bitcoin?
Thoughts?

I don't think it would affect it that much since I doubt there will be THAT much volume going through silk road (but it does seem to have gotten pretty huge). Mostly I think it will have little effect since sellers would be cashing out their coins/ having their orders hedged, which means the money would pretty much be in and out of btc, netting little effect. Though if it does have an effect I would think it would be pushing it up, some of the people buying on silk road may start using btc for other online stuff as well.

Did I somehow do you wrong and end up on your ignore list? I've tried to be courteous, but I've been waiting almost a week for anything from Bitcoinica support, I posted in the Zero-Spread thread (even defending you against someone who said you were trying to rip us off) probably close to a week ago as well and you never responded, I posted on this thread three days ago, I PMed you with a link to my post describing what happened and inquiring whether my position could be restored (150BTC short, base was around 4.845) with my account name (matharis), and despite answering multiple other people's questions in the meantime, here I sit with my questions unanswered. I would have previously recommended Bitcoinica for people who wanted to trade bitcoins, but now all I can think about is the deplorable customer service that I have yet to even receive. This is beyond ridiculous, you respond to the crazy guy who is trying to sue you, but you won't even give me the time of day?
Edited to change steal to rip off and to include what my position was.
Hi,
I'm really sorry about this. I thought I had compensated everyone affected. In your case, you should be liquidated at $5.4+ because the market price actually went there.
If you have any stop orders which were executed at high prices, you can receive $0.13 per BTC for them. Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with our ask ticks.
Thank you for responding, I understand now what exactly you meant with the short liquidation ticker problems, it wasn't as clear in the speculation thread. 99% of my frustration was the lack of response to my questions. I had 200 btc executed ~$0.40cents above my stops (range from $0.39-0.41 or so I think) between my 150btc short cover and then the buy order that was bought and almost immediately liquidated. I also understand not reinstating my position, but I figured I would at least try, I would appreciate the $0.13 compensation though.
Also, do you happen to be planning on implementing stop limits at any time?
I was just wondering when you might get around to that compensation? Don't know if you're busy or something, haven't been very active lately, on this thread at least.
