Ah .. and you can install "VirtualBox" which can install windows in a virtual machine and you can run it from within linux .. works VERY smoothly!
good solution for software that just does not run nicely on linux

It's only new at first :) . Should be used to that in this industry.


You can also run some version of MS Office with Wine but it's not for the faint of heart.


What do you mean by intelligent copy? Do you mean copying from one sheet to another?
Example:
in cell 'A2'   =A1+1
if you copy A2 into the 9 cells below it, this should work like a counter. Just try it and tell me if it works, as expected.


It works as expected. I put 100 into A1 and then A1-10 into A2 and then copied it down a bunch of times and I got 100,90,80,70...

Lack of arbitrage is the problem, isn't it. And this 'should' solves it.

They should open in LibreOffice. It installs with Ubuntu

Yes, does this thing have intelligent copy/past.

The default is not behaving intelligently with formulas?
you can install libreoffic on windows and give it a try

I gave it a try under Ubuntu. See my previous post. It makes me type the formulas again after copy/Past in a new cell. Is this fixable.
The only other thing I do not like about Linux is they have come up with a new term for pretty much everything...

Win binary is coming soon I hope?!
It's still Release candidate. Give them 12h 6h to find the last bugs :)

Or am I better off switching to Linux?
generally spoken?

I have one more stupid question - is there a program that I can easily transfer all my excel file to some free spreadsheet app onder Ubuntu?
I have like 50-70 of those in MS excel, that I need on daily bases...
Thanks.

When viewing the market as $ per BTSX... the current price is $0.038
You can place a short order at up to $0.042, the short order will only execute against people asking $0.038 or less per BTSX. 

No need to be the "first to submit" unless you are attempting to short at more than $.042...

Edit: On the short BTSX page if the median price is 26.5 (or $0.038) it only lets me enter a short higher than 26.5 which is <$0.038. So how do I enter a short at up 24 ($0.042) as per the example above?

In the command line wallet, how can I see which delegates I have already "approved" (or disapproved)?

So essentially you get to keep long exposure to btsx while earning interest on it at the same time from bitUSD at the risk of margin call if price of btsx halves or something?

Yes... and if you are pro-active that risk is minimal.

bugger, I meant to post this here.

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=8500.msg111203#msg111203

Going short/long at the same time is equivalent to holding BTSX with an option to double your stake at todays prices at any time.

I don't think this is true.  The second half of this 'double stake' was spent in the initial trade to purchase the bitUSD to balance the short.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I was wrong in my analysis of that position...   it only gains you a share of the rewards on BitAssets while still being effectively LONG btsx.

I hope guys you don't mind me pasting this from another thread as I think it is relevant.

would it be better that the system quit/cancel automaticaly market orders that are for example more than 4 months old, since it could be trapped collateral from users they could not cancel their orders due the current buggy software (?)

As far as I know there are no orders that cannot be canceled.
