Ugh...this is worse than we thought.
Is this the first double spend?

I think the exchanges should stick to trading bitcoins with other currency. Not hours.

Would the "Cyber Christ" say: "Render unto the Federal Reserve what is the Federal Reserve's."?
They can have their notes. I will have my coins.

According to http://www.thewhir.com/web-hosting-news/bitcoin-value-drops-23-percent-after-software-glitch-discoveredBitcoin transactions were temporarily suspended on Monday night after a technical glitch with Bitcoin mining software, according to a report by Ars Technica.
After the glitch, the value of Bitcoins plummeted by 23 percent, dropping from $48 to $37, but the price soon recovered to $44, according to the report.
Major Bitcoin exchange Mt.Gox resumed Bitcoin deposits at 5:30 am EST Tuesday. So MtGox is going to suspend trading when bad things happen? |

I sent 1.5 BTC from MtGox to a WalletBit address: Bitcoin withdraw to 1QARSgpZ2um4n9JFBhMYTxBYXZsxEhEUb6 late last night using the Green Address option on MtGox.
I think it was right around the time of the bug because the price crashed soon after and as I watched blockchain.info it went from an estimated 6 minutes to confirm down to 0 and then replaced with "Unknown".
The confirmation still sits at "Unknown" as of this afternoon.
Will it ever go through or did my BTC get lost in the ether? I had to send 2 more BTC this morning because of the price change, I was trying to pay for my hosting service.

You don't broadcast it until the time lock is expired.
So does that mean that the original client has to be running when the time lock expires, in order to broadcast the transaction? |

I'm sorry to hear about your loss.
The time lock feature has always worked. You can create and sign a transaction that won't be confirmable until the niece is 18. The bitcoinj library has a command line tool that can be used to create such transactions. The private key for the receiving address could then be put onto a USB key.
However, Bitcoin is highly experimental and anything could happen in the next few years. In your position I would only be willing to put a small amount in, and the rest would go into a bank.
Thank You. I do have the bitcoinj code so I will go that route. I agree that putting all of it into Bitcoin over such a long time period is a high risk. I will likely combine it with gold or silver and put it in a safety deposit box or have her mother do so. |

Has the time lock feature been implemented yet? My wife passed away and she wanted the money from selling her boutique to go to her neice when she turns 18. She is 12 now so I would like to put a portion of that money in a bitcoin address I created for her and lock it until she is 18.
I understand that it is likely not in any of the clients, but does the protocol support it?

Looking for calling card codes to call back to the states from Afghanistan.

I have wanted to do this, the local farmer in my home town that does this had a waiting list and I never made it on.
Perhaps to save on shipping you should teach the cow how to use GPS and just have him walk to the destination. That will guarantee a very lean cow.

I am currently using ZapTel calling cards which gets me calls from Afghanistan to the US for about 2 cents a minute.
I am trying to move as much of my spending over to Bitcoins so would rather buy calling cards with Bitcoins. I have seen wireless cards for sale but not long distance cards.

On another forum I am on there is a +rep/-rep (reputation) system. After a while, you get little green dots (kinda like the little bitcoins) for a lot of +rep that people give you. You get red dots as people give you -rep. Hazek knows what I am talking about. Also, this thread would be better off in this category: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0 |

Update: I got the web site files on my host. http://www.bitpools.com/index.htmlThe 1 BTC was well worth giving me a jumping off point and the look is better than what I had spent a day or so working on myself that could be better spent on the back end stuff. Note, the BitPools site is very much in alpha stage at this point. |

If they were called bids, then I would assume that I could increase my bid at any time - which would actually be pretty cool. If I'm not seeing my 0.0005 BTC "bid" getting through in 30 minutes or so and I'm getting kind of frustrated, I could double or triple my bid to increase the likelihood of it going through in the next few minutes.
Okay, fine then, they are "tips" or "gratuities"  -MarkM- Hmm, TIPS: To Insure (ensure) Prompt Service. |

Might as well go all in on Bitcoin. If it fails that means that the government won, and they will take care of you in your old age.
God bless socialism.

Bitcoins for stolen movies would probably win over Netflix for bitcoins.
Doubtful, since TPB still handles that for free  True, but having a good service that filters out or rates the bad files would be worth the BTC. Here in Afghanistan we get our stolen movies from the locals for about $2 each. People would pay for convenience. |

Someone else will probably jump in but the odds of it happening are to the point where you would need all of the time and energy in the universe for it to happen. Maybe slightly less if you are lucky.
