Hey Bears, how does it feel?

Actually I am relieved. The curve wasn't actually hyperbolic yet.
Might be something like 500 by next week and 20 in a month.

Dump = Relief?...well then you might need some government fiat toilet paper to wipe your butt after you dump.  Cheesy

If I'm wrong I'm wrong, nothing at stake here, I am not even short Smiley

Guess I was wrong. But I'm staying out of this, I made $2k and quit while I'm ahead.

They didn't disable it, they just moved it.  All api requests that don't require authentication are now at data.mtgox.com instead of just mtgox.com.  Supposedly this will help the trading lag since a separate server is now handling data spewing.

I'm astounded that it wasn't separated onto multiple front end servers in the first place.

Mtgox has a shitty setup from a technical perspective.  They claim some big improvements are coming, but I will be surprised if they are able to keep up with bitcoin growth.  In fact, I hope they won't so we can have a more distributed exchange scene.

Looks like Mt. Gox finally disabled the v0 API. Went back to look at my logs and they've been 403ing for the past two days or so.

What a shame. I'd like to have participated in this flash crash.

58% faster than normal last time I checked. Normal is 1 block per 10 minutes on average.


Correct - My math was off, I confused 1 block pr. 10 minute with 10 blocks pr. hour, so you're right.

Something happens in 24 hours......

The supply from mining is going to drop by almost 1/3.  Right now the supply is unusually high do to many ASIC rigs coming online and those people are selling right away to pay for the rigs. 

The price will probably go back up 10-20 hours after the difficulty change. 

Is that so, isn't the network made such that the btc supply is constant, no matter how much hashing power there is, ie. 1 new block giving 25 btc on avg. every 10th minute ?
The network tried for 1 block every 10.  It makes that adjustments every two weeks or so. Right now production is unusually high and will be corrected in 18 hours.



Bitcoinwatch reports on avg. 9.08 blocks pr. hour, so it's not a whole lot more than normal, perhaps 10% faster than normal then ? Don't know what that avg. is based on though, if it's the last hour or the last 24 hours.

Basically until ASICs will barely cover cost of electricity.


Please tell me if my maths is wrong. A BFL single 60gh/s, 60 watts, $0.07kw/h would cost about $.1/day in power. At current prices and a difficulty of 6,500,000,000 you would still make $.20/day. I forget how to convert difficulty to terahashes. Would 6.5 Billion difficulty translate to ~65000th/s? If so, that's ~43000 BFL 1.5th/s minirigs.
