Received, thank you.

It's the same game, yes, if that is your question. I play at the level of 13 kyu so am not a strong player at all. I was also aiming at becoming 1 Dan, then (funnily enough) I got sidetracked by becoming interested in bitcoins a few months ago and dropped Go for the time being.

My funds, both BTC and GBP, got credited to 5 decimal places after the migration.

They could call it OvertCoin.

(Scientology joke)

Doesn't work for me, Chrome and Win7:

23:33:19 > WebSocket Closed
23:33:08 > Opening WebSocket to ws://websocket.mtgox.com/mtgox

Thanks very much. I took your advice. Just in case.

Thank you. I assume account migration means the whole thing will be shipped over, including account balances and order history.

1. In the migration instructions, step 4, the URL is truncated and says https://intersango.com/authenticated/openid. instead of https://intersango.com/authenticated/openid.php

2. I followed the instructions and it says my account is migrated, but my funds (not orders) have not been transferred. Is that going to occur automatically on Sept 19 or do I need to do something else now?

Rhodium is cheaper than gold right now.

Google is your friend. Here's one: http://www.rexresearch.com/christie/christie.htm

I haven't read it; am merely providing a link.

The photo shows it as VIRES IN NUMERIS. Decide for yourself if it should be vis or vires.

They look real pretty, though.

How about getting it working first? Like a client that doesn't take a day or three to download the whole block chain. Isn't there a client coming that doesn't need to download the entire block chain? I'm in no position to demand it, and I don't need it personally, but for someone new it can be offputting. Sure they can see their transaction in block explorer, but. . . .

There is a huge amount of missing infrastructure, like merchant software etc etc etc.

I think it is very premature to try and promote heavily without more of the basic building blocks available to the average end-user or the average merchant. Sure some nerds and geeks can figure it out eventually, but so what?

Couldn't one get some idea by counting the number of different accounts or IP addresses on the exchange? It wouldn't be exact but it would give a ballpark figure.

Why trust the optical storage medium like that? Send the money to a paper bitcoin wallet. Paper lasts much longer, even regular paper let alone archival paper. For better security hand-code the private key with an unbreakable one-time code (see link in my sig).

I just looked at a 6 month chart from Mt Gox. If my link works, it is http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD#rg180ztgCzm1g10zm2g25.

End April/1st week of May: Slight dip then gradual uptrend
End May/1st week of June: Steep uptrend then steeper uptrend
End June/1st week of July: Steep dip, then slight dip
End Julyl/1st week of August: Slight dip, then steep dip
End August/1st week of September: Not quite there yet

Price as I write is .0134. Hurry!

He really means 50% down. 10 - 20 - 40 - 80 - 160 is 100%; 160 - 80 - 40 - 20 - 10 looks like 100%.

It's meant to be a complementary currency and coexist with Bitcoin. Anyway, right now 1 SC is two orders of magnitude cheaper than 1 BTC.

Achtung!

Dollar is not capitalised in normal use. Maybe it should be capitalised when used as a subject, but not as a currency unit. As in, "I just paid 1.7 bitcoins (or BTC) for a book about Bitcoin."

I didn't listen to the audio, but if you read their article dated today you'll see that they had trouble buying bitcoin, eventually getting $40 worth by visiting Bruce and paying cash. They then ate lunch at Meze's Grill and succeeded in paying for it from their mybitcoin account. Later, they lost their change when mybitcoin did its thing. I can understand them not being too enamoured with bitcoin yet.
