Things too good to be true usually are... except for the guy who bought $27 worth of bitcoin in '09 and is now a millionaire.
Even worse is the guy that paid 7M for two pizzas he ordered with 10,000 BTC he'd mined in 2010:  Embarrassed

http://www.forbes.com/sites/ericmack/2013/12/23/the-bitcoin-pizza-purchase-thats-worth-7-million-today/

Moral of the story: Never sell-out cheap. You never know!

OMG yes that's crazy.. fact is, how could he think that 10.000btc would be worth that much now?

I certainly have a hard time "believing" so to speak that the coins I hold will be worth something in a few years, so yes I relate to the story hehe

Anyone heard from the pizza guy? LOL

No I'm saying the pizza salesman. The guy or company that received the payment.
The pizza guy has spoken about buying the pizza since. He said he doesn't regret buying the pizza for all those bitcoins, because if he had not bought the pizza then bitcoins may not have ever gained value. I will try and find the source.

+1 to everything Iconic said plus one thing (that he said last time)
Don't buy everything at once. Divide up your btc in small increments to keep the rise going. One massive buy will shorten the spike, whilst several small buy orders will lenghten it.
Sure, you will lose some satoshi (or hundred of satoshi, at present rate) in the short term. But in the long run, you help everyone (you included) getting even more money.

Iconic, please confirm I understood correctly.

Yes you understood correctly Smiley.

When someone puts up a sell order for 4 BTC it slows the momentum down, and often cause the price to retract.

Help? Just compiled the newest blackcoind, but it's not connecting to any peers. It just keeps trying one peer over and over (74.220.199.8:6181) and getting a connection timeout. IRC connect fail. The old version was working fine... wth.

Anyone know some nodes I can throw in the conf file?

Bump... please help, we really need some nodes to resync our blockchain!!!

1BC = 0.0007( 8 ) BTC can there be a such exchange rate or not?

Earlier today prices even higher were noted on cryptorush.

Well ltc is 0.03 so why couldn't blackcoin go 0.0007-8?

I agree, look even stupid shitcoin of Greececoin is higer now and you cannot compare BC community with a stupid aurora wannabe

thrasher.
I'm thinking about starting the first exchange that uses blackcoin as the primary coin of exchange. The code I have been working on would be similar to mintpal.

For example we would have:
BC <-> BTC
BC <-> LTC
BC <-> PPC
BC <-> DOGE
etc...

This would allow multipool exchange operators to directly exchange into blackcoin making it cheaper and easier for everyone. We could even do trading discounts on targeted currencies.  

How much interest is there in this idea? I love the idea of a blackhole currency that absorbs weaker altcoins.

I wrote about this exact thing a few pages ago. This is what BC needs to set itself apart from other AltCoins. It would be nice if we could convince Mintpal to do this, like they did with LTC. It will make BC value explode overnight. But unfortunately BC is not proven yet and I think you would have to create the exchange for this to happen. 

I have a lot of the code finished, and have been writing test code for it. If there is enough interest I might be able to start with a few currencies to test the waters. Otherwise I could always hold back and create complementary mining pool software go alongside it.

Fantastic idea! I would further the meme of Bitcoin 2.0. And would motivate people in actually bringing BC to BTC parity. The biggest challenge is self-censorship and your exchange would help in alleviating this.

As a further bonus, it would help making PoS more popular, which would address the carbon footprint issue.

We were talking about this on irc yesterday.  I think an exchange using BC could do 0% fees and use the BC stake to make their profit instead.  Could be a nice hook for an exchange to grab some market share.  Haven't really looked at the numbers to see if this is doable, but at least they could lower fees.

edit: i take it back, the value of BC would have to be a lot higher before this could work.
