I've said it elsewhere:  Exchanges need to charge for putting an order on the book.
Otherwise you'll get all of the order book dirty tricks that are present on the Nasdaq etc.

By a strange coincidence, 15K BTC bought at exactly the same time!!  It's almost like there's a conservation principle!?

Why O why is there not a fee for putting an order into the book?  Are they trying to replicate the stupidity of the NYSE trading bots?

or put more simply: "The price will not fall below $90 unless it does."

But it will never cross the $95 line!

Thanks again for the hard work under duress.

I also would like to see the canonical post on how to make sure coins are safe. 

For example:  Armory and offline?  Like this dude: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1d26gw/cold_storage_how_i_did_it/

It's pretty analogous to gold.  Gold & silver used to be valid currencies, then gold-backed and silver-backed currencies, and now plain fiat currencies are the method of daily exchange.

So in short, people are not incentivized, which is why economists on balance don't believe it is a currency that is worth a damn.

The usual quote that goes along with this is Gresham's Law:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gresham's_law

I think this is correct.  Just hit "refresh" and watch the minutes tick up.

Anyone know why You get the following error when you enter 2 searches in quick succession?


It looks like the posting software thinks searching = posting. 

Why exactly is the community supporting open source for ASICs, when only a chosen few are allowed hardware?

The point of open source software is that it can be run by anyone.  At this point, open source is providing incentive for ASIC mines to hoard their chips for internal use *cough butterfly cough*.
