Yet I recently came to the conclusion that BTC market is still a huge FIAT drain.....Most of the traders aren't keeping their gains in BTC (as they should) but periodically withdrawing it in FIAT. They enter the market with X fiat (or alternatively some BTC they bought a lot earlier) and leave with X+Y fiat but negligible to zero (or less than their initial) BTC.

And I don't see this changing any time soon.
When FIAT inflation will really take effect, they will just starve for even more FIAT and sell any BTC they held.

I completely understand how to generate the raw transaction from the transaction ID. And the newest version does not change a thing. What happened was, there's about 200 mining payment inputs, all gathered together for that meager total. So the raw transaction is massive and it simply will never be accepted with the console line limited how it is. What I need is an alternate way of entering, that gets around line length limitations. Anyone?

I can PM a pastebin link to anyone that wants to have a go. Or I can just put the link here if that's acceptable.

Another MN is about to come on-line :-D
Give me about an hour :-D

Anyone that wants to get out... come to crypsy. I'll be waiting there  

I posted and deleted about five of those before you caught one  

You alive Lax?
Your MN partner awaits....

*********** Amber Alert ***************

World equity revaluation in progress.

Markets throwing toys out of pram at mintpal closing QE ending - want more. Trying to pin central bankers backs to the wall before traders turkey out on free money hose drying up.

Plunge protection teams out in force.

London down 2.4% - diving towards the 4:30 finishing line, ballast being offloaded like it was ebola infected horse manure (oops ! now 2.6%)

Q3 and Q4 GDP figures already being revised (which will only serve to endorse todays speculation).

As I'm writing this, London now -2.78%. That rocket is vertical alright but the engine's at the wrong end.

Having to rely on secondary sources for market feeds because Marketwatch has crashed due to nervous pensioners watching their life's savings being poured down the drain by over zealous central bankers who think that money is the same thing as value.

Observers noting that things would be a lot worse if there was a safe haven:

Cash ?? - zero return
Oil ?? - monkey hammered by Opec due to petulence
Gold ?? - monkey hammered by an endless supply overleavered paper shorts

That leaves crypto. Un uncapitalised train about to leave the station. Where is crypto now ? Think 1992 and travel agents vs web sites. One was a multi-billion dollar industry, the other was a geek hobby.

Within a few years they had entirely swapped places.

EDIT: Italy is now down 4.5% Spain 3.5% and London 2.8%. We're now on the back side of a tripple top that started in 1999.

--The only question now is how long it will take the Fed to start back-tracking on its ‘interest rate hike for 2015’ talk. After they do that, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them dip into the QE playbook…again. The big question though, it whether it will be too late to inject another round of confidence into the speculating community.

--They’re wheeling Janet Yellen out to speak at the end of the week, so we may get an idea of just what the Fed is thinking. Yellen must be careful to retain the market’s confidence. That the Fed has no idea what it’s doing is beside the point. What’s important is that the market thinks the Fed knows what it’s doing. Yellen must keep this con game going at all costs.

--Good luck with that. When you’ve got a bunch of panicked, slobbering trader yahoos in your face desperate for some sign that you’ve got it all under control, any minor slip-up can be dangerous.

--When traders panic, liquidity disappears in the blink of an eye. That’s because confidence creates liquidity, and fear destroys it. And right now it’s the fear of huge debt levels consuming economies that is weighing on traders’ minds.
