rescanning/rebuilding also solved it for me.

I have the same error resulting in the failure to send bitcoins. (running Windows 8.1 64 bit. Bitcoin Qt/Core upgraded and synced)
Is the cause and solution of this problem known ?

I am a Trusted Account holder and have been using MtGox for more than 3 years.

Quite some BTC coins stuck now for 6 days. USD stuck for more than 5 months. No response to multiple support tickets. A tweet to Mark Karpeles with my support ticket reference got no reply.

Can anyone recommend a lawyer, preferable Tokyo based, to formally notify MtGox and its directors and put them in breach ?





 

Hi,

What is your outlook (price target) for bitcoin in the next 2 years ? (in USD/BTC)

Please vote and argue your case.

With the risk of introducing bias, here is my vote/argument: I believe bitcoin will be worth between 50 and 100 in the next two years. A total market cap of about 200 mio USD today for a technology like bitcoin seems small. I think a total market cap of 1 billion within 2 years is realistic, which would lead to a price between 50 and 100. A market cap of 1 billion would be achieved when 1 million users each hold about 1000 USD worth of bitcoin. Main drivers:
1) regulation (government ban or not ?)
2) ability to scale (how many users/transactions can the network handle?)
3) the rise of other, better crypto-currencies
4) acceptance by businesses (will there be many "Wordpresses" in the next two years ? will Google/Amazon/Facebook/Apple on day accept them ?)

Most interested to see your votes and hear your thoughts.

Great job. Very well done. +1 for an iPhone client.

+1. very impressive demo. the prospect to run bitcoin in the browser to multiple computers, run it on a mobile phone and have secure wallet storage in the cloud looks very promising.

Another vote for Sheffield.

i m interested.

Very well done. It deserves a place on www.bitcoin.org and the bounty.

Hi,

I wonder what kind of contractual documentation - if any - bitcoin traders use to document their OTC transactions. I believe the bitcoin community would benefit from having a standard contract for the purchase and sale of bitcoin. Such standard contract could be posted on the bitcoin wiki for example

Such contract could be quite simple. Below a draft for discussion purpose.

Do you believe bitcoin traders would use such contract to document their trades ? Why (not) ?

Any clauses that need to be added/modified ?

Views and feedback welcomed.

very cool.

cannot find my IP address on the map and had bitcoin online for the last 4 days. does anyone know how frequently the map is refreshed ?

someone suggested to have a counter to indicate how many nodes are active. that would be very useful.

related to this, does anyone have an idea how many bitcoin users there are today ?

cheers
