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!

If you are a UK taxpayer, please remember to tick the Gift Aid box when donating as this will increase your donation by at least 25% at no cost to you.

If you can spare a few cents, or more, please visit the official page below.

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

Thanks in advance!

Living Room / Re: BTC Trades halted after major drop in value.
« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on April 11, 2013, 06:18 PM »
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
-www.mtgox.com

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

[/edit]

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?

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 :(

You will also notice I got rid of the "Pending" and "Completed" graphics in this version.  I decided I hated them.
-Stephen66515 (April 03, 2013, 03:43 PM)
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?

Living Room / Disney to shut LucasArts games studio, lay off workers
« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on April 03, 2013, 02:55 PM »
(Reuters) - Walt Disney Co (DIS.N) plans to shut the 30-year-old LucasArts studio it inherited with the acquisition of George Lucas' film company last year, and focus on licensing its "Star Wars" brand externally, a spokesman said on Wednesday.

The closure will involve an unknown number of layoffs. A "small team" will remain to handle licensing partnerships but all inhouse development has been halted, including its much-anticipated title "Star Wars 1313", said Miles Perkins, a spokesman for Lucasfilm Ltd.

Film producer, screenwriter and director George Lucas is best known as the creator of the "Star Wars" franchise. He sold Lucasfilm to Disney last October.

It is unclear how many people are employed by LucasArts. A source close to the company said that affected workers will be informed on Wednesday.

The Lucasfilm spokesman declined to disclose the number of employees currently at LucasArts or those affected by the shutdown.

Disney, which last year announced it will pay $4.05 billion for Lucasfilm and has its own interactive games division, is several months into an internal cost-cutting review. The decision to shutter LucasArts comes as the developer and publisher, once known for humor-tinged adventure games like "Secret of Monkey Island", has struggled in recent years to produce a hit in an industry increasingly dominated by action-oriented games.
