I have just added an ask order for Moneretos as an item 
Probably it's better to restrict it. It's a bit illogical (but fun).
It was already reported before, but probably lost: after Roopatra bought 1 Beer from me in item history the buyer and the seller are messed up.

Just entered the following command and thought that it will add ask for 490,000
sell cvs 1 490,000
But instead I got COMMAND RESULTS:
Sold 1 units of cvs at 215000 m/unit, for a total of 215000m.
Before that the same happened with
sell cvs 2 490,000
it was just sold to the highest bid.
Am I doing something wrong?

The commas are the problem with your entry. The entry was evaluated as - sell cvs 1 490.
This issue is being worked on currently. We are looking at implementing a option to have a confirmation message other other options.
The following would work
sell cvs 1 490000
sell cvs 1 .49mil
BE VERY CAREFUL WITH YOUR CLI ORDERS
I should know - I made some misplaced orders as well.
Thanks a lot!

So no economic reasoning whatsoever to the choice of approx 0.9% inflation?
There is plenty of economic reasons, first being to secure the network,[/b] without network no transactions, like rpietila said its close to what gold is now. 1% is bellow the long-run ideal inflation on a large scale economy (believed to be 2%). 1% runs of the risk of deflation with eventual lost coins it will become de-facto deflationary in the long run.
I didn't say tail emission was a bad idea. I agree with it. It just shouldn't be a "magic number" value. And Monero is NOT gold. Most everything about it is quite different than gold. There seems to be no logical reason to choose that value based on "that's how gold is".
It wasn't logical, it was indeed a magic number (at least 1% was; 0.3 coins/minute is derived from the 1%/year) chosen at the start more or less arbitrary manner based on subjective views of what was useful to do. If it turns out to be a disastrous choice with horrible consequences, then Monero will fail. This is an experiment.
Sure, we can just say "hey it is an experiment". But wouldn't it be nicer to have a logical economic reasoning with maybe not precisely predictable results, but at least an intelligently planned results? I already see interesting brain storming in the last few posts. Generally the less magic numbers, the better. Something for Monero Research Labs maybe...
EDIT: If I'm dragging this on in the wrong thread just ask and I'll happily move it elsewhere.
I think it is befitting to realise that "intelligently planned results" does not just happen, especially in such an inherently wishy-washy subject as economics. It's akin to hubris to believe we can "fix" it with the "perfect formula", because the world and the economy is such a dynamic place. There are too many variables inflicting upon that little special reward percentage for THAT to be the 'magic number'.
I can get behind the "let's experiment based on a finger in the air" approach as a 'better than' solution. Especially because no currency is eternal, and eventually something else and better comes along and Gresham's Law applies.
With a low percentage of 0.9% I do believe that coins lost will be larger than the emission.
Economies are the living entities. The same may relate to the currencies. One point of view is that they are being created and ruled by human beings. But another one that they use human beings for their own needs of existance and development. So who knows probably the magic numbers are not so random... They could be a part of global plan of Monero as an intelligent system to conquer the world and make it a better place by attracting the right people who will provide the right set of various variables and opportunities to get strong evolutionary advantages in the long run.
I didn't want to withhold this from you guys, it is pretty hilarious in fact -> http://pastebin.com/pPNf8y6L
Might have, next to the awareness Peter Todd raised, sparkled some of the rally.

Where are you trading at and with what app? I'm using Poloniex for buying my Monero, but the UI is soooo slow and nearly broken on my android.
Polo crashes my phone, and my mediocre laptop barely functions. Crazy resource hog. Since I don't trade much, I can put up with it to buy my moneroj. It sure would be nice to have a 'light' version with fewer features though.
I also don't trade much and would not attempt it at Polo on my new android phone. I find it almost impossible to scroll through the order book. I did cancel an order once.
To check the price I use bitcoinwisdom, no lag at all. One stop shopping
There is a great free Android app, zTrader:

You can add Polo API keys there and trade Monero or anything else. It works flawlessly.
Excellent idea!
Have you considered developing in Unity? (http://unity3d.com/). It's one of the most popular multi-platform game engines now. It's usable for 2D as well and one code will work everywhere including browsers, desktop, facebook and mobile devices. Other popular choice around professionals now is LibGDX (http://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/features.html)
But anyway you will need some server programming as well. Such games are always front-end (any engine like these or just html5) + back-end (server side, where all DBs are kept).
3 weeks sounds too much optimistic for the first real alpha version even with minimal functionality. Such projects always take more time than we think in the beginning.
It's very important for the developers to plan all future architecture in advance before actual programming. Otherwise you will build a house without a basement and after that will need to repair and repair it each time when adding new functionality.
Other popular conception is to build a simple prototype. Three weeks look real for it. Test it for playability and after that plan and build a new concrete basement for the real game. If there are enough people in a team both tasks can go simultaneously.
I wish you success with such a great project and will be happy to beta test.

The features of the new forum.monero.cc look very useful for keeping internal discussions well organized and more relevant without additional efforts for eliminating interventions of trolls.
The new forum are in deep need of organic ignition as well.
So moving will serve both goals while keeping the ability to broadcast important announcements and results on BCT.

First little batch of physical Monero coins is ready. It's brass, silver plated. Pure silver coins should come later. Each coin has unique ID that can be binded at our site to Monero address of your choice. Site is not finished yet, we are currently testing and polishing it. But in general it's working as alpha version.
Here is the short video of the Coins:

If you are interested to get a Coin and did not contacted me before, please PM.

Can someone put everything that happened very briefly for a non computer nerd in laymans term? Is BCN attack legit? what is going to happen? what the hell is this.
Executive summary sir:
There was a threat.
To the extent that the threat was credible, it was mitigated in the code.
During the mitigation, most exchanges stopped transacting with the monero block chain, but kept exchanging openly.
There were some brief DDoS attacks and minor alerts, but no substantial problems
Business as usual resumed shortly after the mitigation work was completed, with some nice enhancements to the code that prevent this sort of threat from reoccurring.
Lessons learned discussions are still ongoing but at minimum, the enhancements are sufficiently innovative that they may be adopted by all other coins to prevent this type of threat in a distributed fashion. This is a win for crypto currency in general.
Perfect executive summary.
The fact that the price is still .0034xxx (actually, now .00337xx) makes me wonder if the market is still cautious about the threat.
Seems as though you see it exactly the way I do, which makes me believe I'm seeing it right and the market is just a bit behind or slightly less informed. I'm sitting here wondering if there is something I am missing, because this price does not make a lot of sense to me.
Guess that means I better buy some more. Edit: I just posted in another thread that by my reckoning, XMR is on a 15-20% discount right now at .00337773. Just placed a couple of orders, not much below where we are, that I hope will fill.
I was expecting it go back to 0036 today, I'm glad I was wrong, it seems people still waiting for a cheaper entry point.
Once again price correlates with BTC falling. So it's not so obvious if there was actually so much influence of all the latest events and discussions. Everything is OK. It's just bear market. It will change in proper time.
So, in any case, to break the ice, I think exhausting crowdfunding via Kickstarter and Anon should be a priority and DEFINITELY precede any further discussion of more controversial funding methods.
Totally agree.
EDIT: It's a psychology thing. They either wanted to gain more BTC (rpietila admitted this and I did so too) and/or hedge on possible BTC failure. Are you kidding me? This is expressing so little faith in Monero, if an alt has any chance to succeed it needs fanatics who aim at No1.
Please link where I have said my aim is to gain more BTC? If I read my mind correctly, it has not been my aim since summer-13.
Hedge is something I have talked about. USDXMR in my understanding would immediately gain a lot if something serious happened to Bitcoin, making it a perfect hedge.
I also believe Monero has the chance of taking over Bitcoin.
The more I've thought about it, the more this last point seems possible.
Bitcoin seems to really be getting away from it's roots and is seemingly poised as a Visa/MasterCard competitor, rather than a currency competitor. Also, the fact that it's not truly anonymous makes it's utility as "e-cash" limited.
I would be absolutely shocked if the NSA and other 3-letter agencies didn't already have automated tools that make tracing bitcoin transactions back to individuals a trivial task. The IRS and other tax agencies around the globe won't be too far behind.
Anyway the success of bitcoin is in best interests of Monero. And despite all the strangeness of it's stagnation the overall economy is still expands...
BTC whales embracing Monero is a double edge sword, mark my words...
and why do you think so?BTC are never enough - it is better to have an alt based on BTC haters.
We will see, I try to help the project from the backstage (smooth can confirm)...
This presumes continued exponential rises in BTC. Those may be happening in XMR instead from here forward.
XMR market cap is 1/1000 of BTC
XMR has a head start on doing things that BTC doesn't do.
If you think a BTC whale needs to finance its BTC purchases by selling XMR, think again.
There is a possibility that at some moment BTC being loaded with all regulatory weight together with expectations can become too heavy to fly high in the sky fast enough and that will get one more chance for Monero to get accelerated by nitrous oxygen ignition.
This is of course very good for the coming monero economy.
Coming economy... When? if bitcoin will get speed in 5-10 years, then Monero - 20-40 years at least. Not sure if I'm ready to wait that long
And then there is this announcement that US Regulators will allows swaps of BTC. Seems most people like the idea but I know that everything that the Banksters touch turns to shit polished up to look precious.

My link at the bottom says exactly how I feel.
I guess it's only one variable in a complex equation. So actually there are different directions how it can play out in reality.
