It was launched in July 2010, and by 2013 was handling 70% of all bitcoin transactions.[1] In February 2014, the Mt. Gox company suspended trading, closed its website and exchange service, and filed for a form of bankruptcy protection from creditors called minji saisei, or civil rehabilitation, to allow courts to seek a buyer.[2][3] In April 2014, the company began liquidation proceedings.[4] It announced that around 850,000 bitcoins belonging to customers and the company were missing and likely stolen, an amount valued at more than $450 million at the time.[5][6] Although 200,000 bitcoins have since been "found", the reason(s) for the disappearance—theft, fraud, mismanagement, or a combination of these—were initially unclear.

Best exchange to trade or buy on? OK so let me clarify what I want to do is: 1.) Put in fiat for exchange to BTC 2.) 3.) So far that what would you recommend? I heard Coinbase was connected to the goldman sachs (aka the evil empire) true or just rumor? If you're in the U.S., CampBX is quick and cheap for buying coins. Once you have the funds, look for the right combination of high liquidity and low commissions for trading. Getting fiat out is problematic right now.
How the Bitcoin protocol actually works Many thousands of articles have been written purporting to explain Bitcoin, the online, peer-to-peer currency. Most of those articles give a hand-wavy account of the underlying cryptographic protocol, omitting many details. Even those articles which delve deeper often gloss over crucial points. My aim in this post is to explain the major ideas behind the Bitcoin protocol in a clear, easily comprehensible way. We’ll start from first principles, build up to a broad theoretical understanding of how the protocol works, and then dig down into the nitty-gritty, examining the raw data in a Bitcoin transaction. Understanding the protocol in this detailed way is hard work. I’ll describe Bitcoin scripting and concepts such as smart contracts in future posts. It may seem surprising that Bitcoin’s basis is cryptography. My strategy in the post is to build Bitcoin up in stages. This strategy is slower than if I explained the entire Bitcoin protocol in one shot. First steps: a signed letter of intent
China's Google Is Now Accepting Bitcoin China's largest search service, Baidu, announced it would now accept bitcoin for its Jaisule service from the 14th of October. Jaisule is the firm's firewall and DDOS protection service. The service essentially protects websites from malicious attacks that attempt to crash it by overloading it with external communications requests so that it cannot respond to legitimate traffic. A similar US-based service is Cloudflare. With a market cap of over $50 billion, the company may be the largest one yet to accept payments in bitcoin. The crypto currency has made impressive recent strides toward going mainstream, with bitcoin ATMs and grilled cheese trucks popping up in Canada and content management system Wordpress accepting payments in Bitcoin. And it comes as law enforcement ramps up crackdowns on illicit Bitcoin-based groups like Silk Road. Bitcoin has basically made up the value it lost in the wake of Silk Road's seizure and now stands at about $150 on the Mt.
Pecunix Un experto te explica todo lo que hay que saber sobre BitCoins Franco Amati, de la Fundación Bitcoin Argentina, nos revela las cuestiones más importantes de esta moneda: cómo se consiguen, qué hardware es necesario, dónde se compran/venden y mucho más. La fiebre por las BitCoins no se detiene. Cada vez más servicios online las ofrecen como medio de pago y existe toda una comunidad de personas que compra y vende esta criptomoneda. La comunidad argentina de BitCoins es la más importante de la región, por eso entrevistamos a Franco Amati, de la Fundación Bitcoin Argentina, para que revele todo lo que hay que conocer acerca de esta moneda digital. ¿Cómo se adquieren las bitcoins? Puede ser brindando un servicio o vendiendo un producto a cambio de aceptar el pago con bitcoins, comprándolos en efectivo o con transferencia bancaria entre personas (conectabitcoin.com,latincoin.com, localbitcoins.com), o mediante los denominados “exchanges” (bitstamp.com, mtgox.com,btc-e.com). ¿Qué hardware se requiere para minar? ¿Qué software es necesario para minar?
Bitcoin: More Important Than You Realize Neal Stephenson’s novel The Diamond Age takes place in a future where encrypted currencies and e-commerce have moved most economic transactions into “darknets” beyond government’s capability of monitoring and regulation, causing tax bases around the world to implode and bringing on the collapse of most nation-states. Encrypted currencies and darknet economies have been promoted by such thinkers as David de Ugarte and John Robb as a real-world model for resilient communities in the impending age of hollow states. So you can imagine my reaction to recent news of Bitcoin, “a Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.” Jason Calacanis and his colleagues at LAUNCH describe Bitcoin as “The Most Dangerous Project We’ve Ever Seen” (May 15, 2011). Not only is it “the most dangerous open-source project ever created,” but “possibly the most dangerous technological project since the Internet itself.” The beauty of Bitcoin is that there’s no central server network to shut down.
