Oh, I see. Now I realize that Bitcoin market is so much different compared to Forex market. You can easily find a Forex broker who supports PayPal.

I only started working a week ago. I'm currently in school holiday, so I can afford long hours. And since this is a solo project, I have no communication problems. I can just do what I have planned and thought. These negative events are act

Thanks for that! Really. I will consider this and focus on my algorithm design further. I don't mind if you leave the discussion here. Hiding a problem is never the solution. :-)

I will add one more Log out button. The existing one is under the drop down menu of "Account". You should be able to find it. (It works exactly like Twitter.)

If you compare to Forex brokerages, yes. But consider the volatility of BTCUSD, you can make profits despite the high spreads. Usually BTCUSD can fluctuate 5% - 20% everyday, and the spread is only about 0.5% - 2% (one side).

Thanks. Yes, I have a long to-do list for these now: - Tour - Terms of Service - Privacy Policy - Security - Help (probably) A lot of writing work! I'm a non-native English user though.

Thank you for your suggestion. Yes, I will definitely do that if the test run is successful. Probably I will launch the Tour together with Trading API.

Since PayPal is reversible, we don't support it currently. However, there's something that comes into my attention: do fraudsters have any incentive to deposit money fraudulently on a trading platform? What if I limit the account's withdraw

Yeah, I understand your concern. Bitcoinica has several features/characteristics that make itself like no other: - There's no Bitcoin wallet. Most incidents happen with stolen or lost wallets. Bitcoinica holds all the money and coins in tra

Thank you for your encouragement! Wish you good luck in your careers too!

Thanks for your wonderful suggestion! Honestly speaking, I haven't considered this because at first, it's hard to find anyone willing and able to deposit $10,000 (Mt. Gox limits withdrawals, including redeemable codes. Can be lifted though.

The problem lies on margin accounts. If you use any Forex brokerage platform to trade Euro, for example, you won't get the actual Euro anyway. What you get is still US Dollars when you close your positions. Of course, it's easier to withdra

Apparently Apple has noticed this issue and they have taken down a few sites. ( http://appadvice.com/appnn/2011/08/apple-takes-steps-against... ) In fact Apple can try to increase the technical barrier to install iOS beta. (Must upgrade in

I agree with most part of this post. However, I think this article gave us an idea that a business co-founder who neither knows technology nor has the determination to learn technology can't succeed easily in today's context. I don't think

Human beings are naturally divided into three different groups with different likelihood of risk-taking after graduating: 1. I can risk everything to be an entrepreneur. 2. I want to be an entrepreneur, but I'm not ready or I'm unsure to ta

I was born in China, and I feel a bit sad for the boy. He is 17, same age as mine. I'm surprised that his decision was so immature that he didn't consider about his future life. Poor people in China are definitely more likely to rely on dia

That's more than 11 years to complete this task. Who can predict what will happen after 11 years? Generating electricity from nuclear fusion may be possible. Or we may move our nuclear plants to the moon. We shouldn't ignore the fact that 7

The tone of this article is pretty strange. Is Facebook really a great thing for dead people? Or is it simply ironic to have dead people's profiles being more active than living people's? Anyway, I agree that Facebook shouldn't suspended de

It's clearly a brilliant idea to set up a charity escrow service. The buyers and sellers have no incentives to cheat after all as they can't gain anything from fraudulent transactions.

A phrase may represent multiple questions, and a question may have multiple answers. It's definitely much better to provide links relevant to the phrase for users to identity the right answer, instead of giving an irrelevant one.

When this really happens, selling the property is a wise choice, and you can make a lot more at this point. Even if the property market crashes, you can always choose to default. - Nothing lose, this is not your own house.

There are good debts and bad debts. If you use loans to pay a property which earns you $10,000/month whereas your monthly payment to the bank is only $8,000/month, why bother using cash to pay for the property? You can leverage your cash we

Well, I think I may have used the inaccurate term. The cache for SSL has two parts: # You need to reuse the session, instead of forcing the client to do the full handshake every time. # You can consider setting a high Keep-Alive value to im

It's biased to say that torrents and rapidshare are equivalent to illegal file sharing. Illegal file sharing is just how people use these platforms, but not these platforms themselves. Dropbox is just another file sharing platform which dir
