The BTC rate on the silkroad shop is just over $122 but on mtgox it is just under $125
The silkroad one has been frozen for quite some time
please look into

This would explain why I seemed to receive less BTC than estimated when I purchased btc via bitinstant. Either that or I fucked up somewhere along the line...
-
this may be a stupid side question (sorry not trying to hijack this thread, it is related) where to you find that current bitcoin price on the Main site? Ive never seen it, but Ive never looked for it either, maybee right in front of me? if so I appologise in advance
-
The SR exchange rate is shown in your shopping cart... but for whatever reason its not updating right now

Bitinstant always fucks you over with their exchange rate. Go from Bitinstant to MtGox and then exchange your dollar for BTC there. Then transfer your BTC to SR. That way you know exactly how much BTC you are getting.
And the OP is right, the exchange rate is 122 when all the major exchanges are around 125-126 right now. It should be updated.
Also I wonder what method DPR even uses to calculate the actual USD value of BTC. Weighted averages from a couple exchanges? He should let us know how it works.

BMR has live rate.
change your prices to USD anyway?
always throw an extra 20+$ just incase.
i agree a live rate would be nice but it wouldn't solve everything.

where are you guys seeing this bitcoin exchange rate on the shopping cart screen? I just placed an item into my shoping cart and I dont see it anywhere, ive looked everywhere on my shopping cart screen and on my account and setting page and I dont see it there either.
can you explain a little clearer? Ive never seen this

Above address box:
Total: ฿9.32

You will ONLY see the exchange rate if your account is set to Dollars. So I would assume member above is set in BTC still..
A live rate on SR would be a TOTAL NIGHTMARE! Just ask anyone that has been here over 1.5 years..
Also I know that 122 has been there for a while...don't forget it is a 24hr weighted average... and in the last 24 hours it has been under 122. And it has been at 125 for only a few hours...
Of course there is always a chance something is broke.. BUT just like the 4,778 post before this on the EXACT SAME THING....everything will be working fine.
Also OP... I know unlike most of the post before you....you were noticing it has been at 122.15 for a long time yet btc has moved..
Anyone that is reading this thread...please check out Wiki about the BTC rate and do even more homework to try and understand the btc and the rate on SR vs Mt.Gox. When you do....you will soon realize this is the BEST option as of now. And it actually works great!
Good Luck!

MtGox uses a 1 day average. From my observations it seems like SR does it's averages based on a longer time frame. My guess is it is to combat fluctuations even more.
-
Thanx RxKing that explains why I can and never have seen that (thought i must be blind) I do indeed have it set to BTC . I dont see what the advantage would be to change it to $
-
I thought the SR rate was the BTCE rate not MtGox

Your welcome...
The advantage...if you want to call it one...is that you can see how much something cost in dollars...Lets fact it...all of us only use btc because we have to and it just happens to be awesome...BUT if there was a way to use cash IE money off credit/debit cards we all would.(of course I am saying security wise too) In that, using btc is like getting tokens back in the day to play video games at certain arcades...YOU had to have them if you wanted to play a game..
Well if your account is set to dollars...you can browse and not have to do the math in your head on how much something cost..again a lot of people like to think in btc..and that is great...but most want to know "how much does that cost (in dollars)? And this way you can tell that...right away.
Another thing .......this is the only way to see the exchange rate on SR...if you are not in dollars but in BTC..you will never see the exchange rate...it just tells you that your items are 4.7 btc.
So I never said anything about "advantage" and you never said I did...you just said you don't see the advantage of having your account in Dollars....and I would say..I don't see the disadvantage!
@ ytabletrash....you don't need to guess in here...SR USES a 24 hour weighted average of Mt.Gox...that is not just my opinion or a guess...but a fact :)

@ moon...I assume you don't need the micro loan anymore? I messaged you back to see if you still needed something and I didnt get a message back so I assume no ;) (i'm pretty smart ;) ) But I also wanted to publicly say thanks for the return of micro loan..I DID get the .02 back or whatever it was... You are right I sent you the wrong amount .003 instead of .03 and then after I realized I was wrong you sent it back to me! I think even more though it was so small I could not see it.. So again I am sorry I sent you wrong amount and thanks for sending it back. Your "credit" is good with me anytime and I promise next time to actually give you what you ask for!
