To Stephen66515 I would say that there is no need to use that type of language on this forum. Opinions can be expressed without the use of vulgar language.

Vulgar?

As defined by who exactly?

Firstly...I don't even recall commenting on this thread o.0

Secondly, I like to use all the words offered to me by the English language.  Those of you who declared words "vulgar" "crude" or "inappropriate" need to step back, and realise...they are words.  Words are words are words are words.

Just because you and a small sub-set of others deem something to be bad...does that make it bad...truly?

People say eating meat is bad...should we all stop?

People say being black is bad...should all black people stop being black?

People say jews are bad...does that mean they should start spending more money?

there is no need

A wiser man than me once said:

It's not necessary to have coloured socks, it's not necessary for this cushion to be here, but is anyone going to write in and say 'I was shocked to see that cushion there, it really wasn't necessary'? No, things not being necessary is what makes life interesting -the little extras in life.

But...instead of just quoting said wise man...watch/listen here: (Chances are, you will find this offencive)

I offer no apology as I have done nothing that could possibly offend any sound minded person.

Everybody at DC knows what I am like, everybody knows my style of writing, and I think the majority of people know I won't stop swearing :

Nope, didn't restart my PC, and don't plan to until the end of the month at least (At least...planned).

That site says I don't have the plugin installed.  It made no indication of needing to reboot at all, and all browsers have been cleaned and rebooted. So...gawd only knows lol.

Sounds like a lot of effort, and a waste of money tbh.

My only problem with it is...the UK voice sounds more like South African lol

Tried to play 4 different songs, but can only get a black screen.

Any clues?

Oh wow, this is pretty cool!

Certainly makes me wanna hookup the keyboard to the PC...Might ust do that tonight and test this out!

I NEVER post stuff like this, but seeing as it is for a good cause...here goes:

A friend of mine is running the "Race For Life" and is looking for people to sponsor her.

If anybody could spare even 10cents, every penny goes directly to the charity

Events like Race for Life are vital in funding Cancer Research UK's life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. By sponsoring me, we can unite and create a force that cancer can't ignore.

Gift Aid it!

PS: Please only send donations to that page, and not to me.  I do not wish to act as a middleman - Just wanted to share a good cause

Thanks in advance!

I took offence to something? News to me...When the hell do I take offence to ANYTHING 

Tinman, I know you didn't aim it specifically at me

Wraith, You hit the nail on the head

April, I understood how you thought I might have taken that comment as something aimed directly at me

Mouser...Shut up.

As soon as I posted the above, the MTGOX website re-appeared.  Perfect timing really.

Lets see what happens from here.

<Update>

Trading is halted until 2013-04-12 02:00am UTC to allow the market to cooldown following the drop in price. Read more details on the support. Additionally trading fees will not be charged within 48 hours of trading resuming (until 2013-04-14 02:00am UTC).

</Update>


The latest press release from MTGOX currently says:

TOKYO - JAPAN - April 11, 2013   Hi everyone, just a quick update on the situation and what happened last night.  First of all we would like to reassure you but no we were not last night victim of a DDoS but instead victim of our own success!  Indeed the rather astonishing amount of new account opened in the last few days added to the existing one plus the number of trade made a huge impact on the overall system that started to lag. As expected in such situation people started to panic, started to sell Bitcoin in mass (Panic Sale) resulting in an increase of trade that ultimately froze the trade engine!  To give you an idea of how impressive things were here are some numbers that we would love to share with you guys: - The number of trades executed tripled in the last 24hrs. - The number of new account opened went from 60k for March alone to 75k new account created for the first few days of April! We now have roughly 20,000 new accounts created each day.  Due to these facts we have been busy working on improving things since last week and our team has been working around the clock to improve Mt.Gox to catch up with the demand. We will continue to release several updates today and in the coming few days to improve our system overall performance.  Also please note that we may have to close the exchange for two hours in the next 12 to 24hrs to add several new servers to our system.  Thank you for your understanding and continuous support! 
Regards
Mt.Gox Co. Ltd Team.

BTC Trades halted after major drop in value.

As of right now the MTGOX website is showing:

Service is down for emergency maintenance for one hour, until 2013-04-11 23:30:00 UTC. Please retry at that time

MTGOX Released the following statement:

As expected in such situation people started to panic, started to sell Bitcoin in mass (Panic Sale) resulting in an increase of trade that ultimately froze the trade engine! To give you an idea of how impressive things were here are some numbers that we would love to share with you guys: – The number of trades executed tripled in the last 24hrs. – The number of new account opened went from 60k for March alone to 75k new account created for the first few days of April! We now have roughly 20,000 new accounts created each day.

Bitcoin plummeted more than $160 yesterday after hitting a new high of $266. It continued to fall on other exchanges Thursday, trading below $100 in many. Two months ago the digital currency was valued at $20.

As of this moment, BITSTAMP is valuing $72.00/BTC but exchange rates are for information only.

[edit]

After refreshing the MTGOX website, I can now only see the following text

Database access error, please retry later

Panic selling seems to be at the heart of this problem.

Due to the nature of the so-called "Crypto-currency", there is no physical backing.  Not being on the public stock market, or based on any governments economy, BitCoins are notoriously difficult to predict.  Due to this, people rely on each others reactions, in order to figure out when to buy and sell.

Over the past several weeks, MTGOX have been subjected to a bombardment of DDOS attacks, causing some major downtime, severe trading lag, and the inevitable panic selling that comes along side seeing prices fluctuate wildly. 

Amongst all this however, BitCoin saw its highest ever trade value of $266/BTC.

[edit2]
The MTGOX Website is now showing:

502 Bad Gateway

nginx/1.3.11

[/edit2]

If any of you do have real money currently riding on BTC, I would love to know your thoughts on the ups and downs, and also...do you plan to panic sell?

Seems to be going back up now:

$184.5/BTC*

*Correct at time of writing

Seriously though...are we playing the "Who is offended by what" card, in a thread marked as NSFW/Adult Content?

If ya don't like it...don't look at it...

Don't make me get the fucking hose out people.

Oh Oh Oh!

I see it now!

Cheers!

Will sort this out

[have]

Ah, didn't realise that Phil...Will get it to save that info within the app. (In the next update)

No you shouldn't, unless you need/want/install RegaLink to be portable, only then it should save settings in the current directory.

I intended it to be fully portable

However...I don't seem to have a user.config file in %AppData% - kinda makes it difficult to know what is stored there

Ah, didn't realise that Phil...Will get it to save that info within the app. (In the next update)

Thanks!

Not a joke as far as I know, but still funny as hell

$171.4/BTC now o.0

How I wish I bought them back in '12 when they were $5/BTC

Hindsight is a heartless bitch.

v1.1.2 is now released as full version.

No beta is currently available as I can't find any bugs or think of any new features! - C,mon people, Surely there must be a bug somewhere lol...

Hide button is now hidden, and replaced with a context menu item & shortcut key.

[attach=#]

You will also notice I got rid of the "Pending" and "Completed" graphics in this version.  I decided I hated them.

Thank you. That was an eyesore.

Ya know, up until last night, I didn't even notice they stretched when you maximized the window.  I noticed that and went straight into the code to remove them haha.

Is there anything (feature wise) you want adding Phil?

(Edited your topic tile from "Beautifu" to "Beautiful")

  Thanx Stephen.  I have a new ergonomic keyboard that's not broke in.  I type so fast and don't notice the missed letters sometimes.

No Problemo

My keyboard is failing horribly lol

UI Improvement (Not in current version, or new Beta - Will be in next Beta)

Yes...DLC...All this talk of DRM screwed with my brain
