on 19/04/2013, 03:53:04 UTC
My wallet balance when viewed on Blockchain.info isn't matching what I see in my Bitcoin-Qt wallet.

Here are the transaction showing in my Bitcoin-Qt wallet: 19JjdmUFikrRgZ1FtJvajQL8cX1QN9ZcHx

In 8.58094
Out -2.5005
Out -2.5005
Out -2.0005

Balance 1.57944 BTC

But, when I view my wallet address at Blockchain.info I see this: http://blockchain.info/address/19JjdmUFikrRgZ1FtJvajQL8cX1QN9ZcHx

Please help me understand...

I've got a one year old MackBook Pro:

2.8 GHz i7, with 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

Is this suitable for Litecoin mining? If so, is there a good client for OS X?

Agreed. Mt.Gox has un unstable monopoly and will be a target.

Buy from smaller outfits..

cash out and buy silver?

I wonder if it's good to cash out of BTC now and buy silver, which seems to be in a nice dip.

Thoughts?

How can selling increase the supply, when it simply changes hands? The supply does not change.

Think of BTC being held as BTC that doesn't exist in the market.  The market only accounts for BTC up for sale, so there's a finite amount being sold at any given moment.  If more people sell, there's more BTC available to buy,  increasing supply within the market.

When you say "the market" you mean Mt.Gox, etc? The less the exchanges have vs the amount in circulation means more in individual wallets?

What confuses me, is that even the btc in Mt.Gox are in wallets...

selling increases supply which lowers the price, there is a finite amount of bitcoin so supply and demand seems to be the determining factor.

What causes the price to drop?

If many people sell at once the price will drop - is what I hear, but if people are selling, aren't people buying those same BTC?

Who knows what the Fed might do. Kinda scary that we can't see if they are buying btc. It wouldn't surprise me if they bought to create a bubble, then crashed it, to scare out btc investors..

I was just scammed by the user CheapShit - bitcoins@post.com. I sent money via PayPal but didn't get my coins. I sent as a gift so I can't dispute the transaction.

PayPal: "We're sorry, but this transaction cannot be disputed because it is not a purchase of goods or services. Please contact the recipient directly."
