MPEx and Bitcoins general questions and support

Hi!

As you might have noticed, MPEx is now advertising on DigitalPoint.



Let's get a few things out right from the start :

I. Bitcoin is a new, cryptographic virtual currency. The short story is that each coin exists as the solution to a mathematical problem and can only be spent by the person knowing its secret key. There's a hard limit on the total number of Bitcoins that can exist, the entire system lives as a p2p network, it's been going for about three years now and is all the rage.

The long version can be found on the bitcoin.org site, or on the dedicated wiki, or in general via google.

II. MPEx is a Bitcoin-based stock exchange. This means there's a number of shares you can buy, and also other type of contracts (such as options).

MPEx has been in constant operation for over a year now, is the main exchange for such things in BTC etc.

MPEx is based on GPG, which means you can't make an account, in the traditional sense. Instead, you have to register a GPG key (there's also a fee), and then you talk to it by sending GPG signed messages. The FAQ goes into detail.

There are also brokers who you can use, such as coinbr.com or private individuals (ask on irc, for instance on #bitcoin-assets on freenode).

This thread is so that you may ask whatever questions. I'll stick around for a while. Don't be shy, ask away!
