Both of these require you to register your prepaid card and receive a personalized one in your name.

AmEx Serve - You can do transfers between cards, called Serve to Serve. I believe AmEx Bluebird has the same thing.
Netspend prepaid debit - Flashpay transfers between cards.

I have both so sell your BTC to me!

I am logged into localbitcoins and notice that Dwolla is gone, GreenDot is dead and Google Wallet is dying.
All of the methods for flipping a quick $100 on to a prepaid card for me are gone.
I don't use PreyPal.

What or some methods now for US residents to convert small amounts of BTC in USD without a multi day account transfer?

I have a few different pre paid Visa cards to choose from
There isn't a wide variety of choices for quick transfers except face to face transactions which can take a few hours of your time. Advcash and E-coin are great choices but the loading fees are a tad bit on the higher side with lower limits.

Otherwise, you can try to find a local ATM that allows the withdrawal of money. It only takes maximum an hour or so after verification to sell coins.

You're not kidding about fees.
yeesh, e-coin

the same will happen, with cryptsy like it happened with bitstamp, no coins back, they are gone, nada, zero, they are in the hands of thief



can you name me a single complex technology the flew perfect on the first try?
There is a REASON bitcoind is v0.1 at this time.
Running an exchange still has some work to do as well.
When the technology reaches v1.0, you can rest assured. But by then you will have missed the boat and just along for the ride.

Well, the major establishment-controlled media sources came out with the bullshit lies that ISIS is using Bitcoin, sooo...
That's probably a decent assumption.
This coin is probably going to start rallies on the news of any major group using it, even if via hacks or shady behavior.
It was a hack site by a Russian converting to China fiat last week.
Interesting.

What the hell are you smoking?!!?!?!

Please stop with these conspiracy theories. This forum is already full of junk, don't make it any worse.

I don't smoke, I don't do "fantasy assisting elemental hilucinagenics" either, it is supposed to be a real discussion! Did you even bother to read it and do some investigation in the 3 minutes you were online here?

"Bitcoin was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto, who published the invention on 31 October 2008 in a research paper called "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System". Notice the B in Bitcoin is the same B as in the Bethesda Softworks logo. There have been a number of posts online regarding Satanic and Illuminati based images throughout many of the "Elder Scrolls" games and the "Fallout" games replicate a future of an apocolytpic disaster where mankind is forced to live in vaults (which makes alot of sense). Lastly The US launch date of Fallout 3 was 28 October 2008 and the European launch was 30 October 2008. If techies were too busy playing Fallout 3 of course they wouldnt notice the publication of the Bitcoin paper. Sleight of hand?"

Look at the dates, there are NO coincidences. No one noticed the Bitcoin paper because everyone was too busy with Fallout 3 to not even see digital currency had just been created. Pow!

No. Most of the original team that helped put together the first release of bitcoind still surf this list.
Satoshi was brilliant but there were many aspects he needed assistance on from the community (the original ones)

Re: [2015-11-26] Running a Bitcoin node just got cheaper with the $5 Raspberry Pi
by

If you always wanted to run a Bitcoin node but did not want to spend $40 plus shipping on a Raspberry Pi, fear not because an even cheaper alternative is here. Today, the UK based company released the Raspberry Pi Zero, a brand new model priced at only $5. It includes a 1Ghz processor along with a Micro SD slot, USB outputs, HDMI output, and a few other components which are included in the other Raspberry Pi models.

Surprisingly, the tiny board is 40% faster than the original Raspberry Pi 1. At such a low price, you can setup a bitcoin node for about $15, factoring in shipping and the micro SD card costs. The Raspberry Pi Zero comes preinstalled with full Raspbian, along with an installation of Minecraft. The Pi Zero shows just how cheap computers are becoming, which is leading us into the next revolution – IOT.

You can run FreeBSD out of the box, on 512mb and still have plenty of room.
That's without swap to.
With swap you can run apache, mysql and possibly bitcoind at the same time, without a problem (unless you drop in PEAR or some other high level memory hog)

Pi Zero looks great, however it's no good for running a node as it only has 512mb of RAM. I've been down the node route and you ideally want 2GB, but at least 1GB and limit connections.

Are you trying to mine on that node??     Cool

Anyone posting for excessively over market prices is a con, guaranteed you will lose you money.
The only ones offering those really high prices have only one or 2 trades in their history, for a reason.

Re: thoughts on HFT trading advantages

Bitcoin exchanges are far too slow for actual "high-frequency trading". For regular HFT, milliseconds may matter, while on most cryptocurrency exchanges you're lucky if you can get a response within half a second for placing an order. Fetching things like the order book often takes longer and many exchanges have tight limits on how often you can query the API.

HFT just refers to taking advantage of a timing difference for profit.

If you move your VPS closer to a Cryptsy server for the purposes of getting updates sooner, technically you are dealing with a HFT environment.
No much, but still.

The only difference between Cryptsy and NASDAQ servers is Jersey.
Both are Linux
Both use socket technology
Both do the same job.

Have you read Flash Boys by Michael Lewis?  You might get some ideas in there that could be applied.  I think there is a question of whether any of the bitcoin markets are liquid enough at the moment though.  :-)
even if you are you picking up nickle and dimes all the time on a market, there are hundreds of markets.

Exactly.  They add up quickly as long as you can execute the trades properly.

the algorithm for a scalping seems very straight forward.
buy coin
calculate fee
is lowest sale price still a profit?
if yes{
  post sale  .00000001 lower than lowest seller
}
if no {
  do nothing, leave it on the board.
}

thoughts on HFT trading advantages
by

on 20/11/2014, 19:01:28 UTC
I am curious about what the possible advantages would be to programming an HFT trading app.
Any pre designed software has an update time of about 45 sec.
If you made a scalping app, continuously playing the spread, buy low/sell high, always picking up nickles and dimes, what would be the advantages or disadvantages?
I see algorithmic trading on Cryptsy all the time, but none appear beefed up for speed.

Does the software have a dll interface or some place you can 'hook in'?

What do you mean?
Java doesn't have DLL but JAR (it's the same).

do you implement your own triggers or does it come with predefined triggers/algorithms?
I have a trading algorithm I am working on but all my work is in c++
