Sure, I will, and thank you. Although I guess this is probably less critical since the project is free for anyone and there is no registration required to post listings. I have read the post that you are referring to but I am not treating this as a business at the moment and I do not expect to make money out of it (unless of course there is an opportunity down the line).

'To flog' comes from British slang meaning 'to sell', hence the name of the website given that I'm in the UK. Sorry, no rosy bums there!


I don't quite understand what it means when you say that I am hiding but if you want to know why I haven't posted my full name and surname - yes, I wouldn't want to advertise to google search all my side projects in Bitcoin given that my conventional job and the industry, which I work in, would not appreciate it much. You know how HR people google you before the interview... I am more than happy to let those interested know in pm so they can verify my identity but it's a project that I am doing for free, for fun and I see no harm in that. I hope people will appreciate this... 

Hi,

Just wanted to see if there is a niche for my skills in the Bitcoin economy. I am a native Russian speaker with an English law degree and 8 years experience in drafting and negotiating OTC trading contracts and general bilateral contracts in relation to financial transactions, commodities, IT services, exchanges, brokers, network operators etc.

Generally, I am more comfortable with drafting and negotiating English contracts as the primary source and these can later be translated into Russian, if required (if you deal with Russian companies, you will know that they require translations of foreign contracts for tax purposes).

If you need a contract done as per above, pm me and we can discuss my rates. I am also interested in creating standard master agreements for trading, hedging, collateral etc for the Bitcoin community if there is ever a need for those.

Many thanks,
Jay

Hi guys,

I love Bitcoin and I like working on little projects so here is something I put together and still working on for the community (after browsing Gumtree ):

www.bitflog.com

It's a classifieds ads site where you can list your items for sale. Prices in USD, EUR and GBP are automatically converted into Bitcoin. It's very rough round the edges but it's a start. Your suggestions are welcome! Especially on the categories that should or should not be there.

Cheers,
Jay

Bitstamp processed my withdrawal as well. Lets see if it turns up now.

And it's still not bottomed out yet I'm afraid...

Would be interesting to develop a certain code of conduct, which exchanges could voluntarily adopt. But a true p2p exchange would be much better in my view. Like Ripple, which I find very interesting.

I had an issue too but they eventually turned up. I did a withdrawal this morning and it was processed almost instantly so as far as I know, there is nothing strange going on there. Have you tried support? They recently changed their bank account so this might be the cause of the delay.

ASICs are inevitable and follow the standard free market model. Think about it - gold miners used to mine gold with shovels. Then one day one miner invested in new technology, mined lots of gold with it and profited. Then all other miners followed and switched to new technology. Market equalised. Well, apart from those who were too cheap/lazy/old fashioned and decided not to adopt new technology. ASICs profit those who invested time and/or money in getting it working. First mover advantage is the only thing that drives progress in this case. Eventually the difficulty will go up and ASICs won't be as profitable at which point someone will start thinking of the next generation with improved efficiency.

  Hi, I'm JJ. I'm most interested in how Bitcoin OTC scene will develop as I worked in the financial sector and I think the commercial bitcoin scene would benefit from financial products like swaps and options.
