He was kicked yesterday.

I'm a stakeholder of 100k.  No intention of selling soon.  Also mining what I can.

Awesome, thank you for the insight.  Very good to know.

Quick question for those more informed than me.  I had 38 BTC in a wallet backed up on November 7th.  Today, I loaded that wallet up in Bitcoin QT and sent 36 BTC.  I then deleted the wallet and put my normal wallet back in place, assuming my November 7th backup was all I needed.  However, I then put the November 7th wallet back into Bitcoin QT and the balance is zero instead of the expected 2 BTC.  The 36 BTC transaction from today also does not show up in the transaction history.

To see if rebuilding the block chain in my client helps, I copied the November 7th wallet to a fresh install of Bitcoin QT on another computer, but it will be hours before the block chain is done downloading.  What would you say I should expect to find after it's done rebuilding?

The reason I ask is because I remember reading once that when you send part of your BTC balance, the whole balance is sent and then part of it is sent back to you.  Would using the November 7th wallet make it so I don't have access to coins that the more up-to-date wallet I deleted contained?

Thanks in advance!



Edit: Well, the block chain finished rebuilding and my 2 BTC are back.  Woot!

I also have some BTC stuck in escrow.  I believe I'll probably get it in the end...Not worried at this point.

Pretty sure that was an inside job.  The guy who ran it isn't even going to report it to the police.  The hacker risk is still there, nevertheless.

What should I do about a situation where the seller has refused to release a BTC refund from escrow when the two $100 Amazon gift cards that I paid for had previously been redeemed on another Amazon account?

He asked me yesterday to give him 10 minutes to look into the issue with Amazon support.  4.5 hours later, I told him I'd be requesting a refund if he was unable to provide working codes within the next 16 hours.

I requested the refund and he declined to release the funds from escrow.  I'll gladly release the funds to him if he provides working codes, but I'd rather lose what I paid to an eternally unresolved escrow dispute than to release the funds to a crook.

Here's the listing in question.

I'm wondering as well. 

Is the problem related to the idiot Fed's money services business regulations?
For this, I have no advice and I wish you luck.  They have to change things because FinCEN makes no sense on the issue right now.  They're morons.

Are you just sick of listening to people whine when any little thing goes wrong?
I have never heard a bigger bunch of crybabies than some in the Bitcoin community.  Just gotta be thick-skinned to get something like this done.  Bitmit is awesome.

Are you looking to do greater things?
Don't forget that the guy who created eBay became an instant billionaire after their IPO in 1998.  I suspect something similar is possible for one of the the eBay for Bitcoin sites, and yours stands out most to me.

In any case, I'll be very sad to see Bitmit close down.

Finally realized that I needed to go to the listing, click Options, and choose "Claim Bitcoins back". Thanks!

However, I'm now waiting on the seller, who cancelled the order, to release the funds back to me.  Wouldn't it make sense to change it so that this isn't required if the seller cancels an order?

Please add LTC! :-D

That is WONDERFUL news!  Thanks!

All I know is that I sent five $1000 money orders to them around July 20th and it took about a month to get all of it credited to my account.  $1000 was credited approximately every six days.  What can I say?  They're either idiots or horribly understaffed.

I looked at the last few days of posts and didn't see anything on this, but I might've missed it, so I apologize if that's the case.

My friend and I have both noticed that E-Mail notifications for idle workers stopped functioning a few days ago.  We tried disabling and re-enabling the notifications, but that had no effect.  Anybody else experiencing this?

That is correct.  Note that they use laptop RAM and that you'd need an mSATA SSD, as there is nowhere to fit a 2.5".

This is the one I used.

I set it up with TeamViewer and then shipped it to them.  However, Joe gives all his customers a static public IP, so he had to hook it up to DHCP so I could remote in and configure the static info he gave me.

It's doing a great job with four 500GH (480, really...) rigs and six Single SCs, so that's the same as running 38 Single SCs on the i3 NUC.

I later purchased an i7 Gigabyte BRIX for home use and found the BIOS options to be far superior to the Intel NUC, so I'd have to recommend the i3 BRIX over a NUC.

They disabled my BTC withdrawals for 90 days about a month ago because I attempted to deposit funds via Dwolla.  However, Dwolla required some ID verification steps before I could deposit the funds, so there was no reason for CampBX to do anything to my account.  I opened a support ticket and they re-enabled BTC withdrawals after about 3 days.

On the other hand, I've been waiting almost a month for them to credit a $1000 money order to my account.  The only reason I use them is because I can easily withdraw funds via Dwolla after I sell mined coins.

Still waiting for them to deposit my last $1000 out of five $1000 money orders.  Ridiculous...It's been about 4 weeks since I sent the money orders to them.

If what you say is true, he's just spreading lies, not FUD.

I'd recommend opening a support ticket.  They do process money orders, but it must be on their lowest priority list.


I tried to post a comment on their knowledgebase, but it doesn't work.

I'd say no.  20x current hash power in 3.5 months?  Nah...

I appreciate the suggestion, but they're only 4.3 TH, so I'd be almost 1/3 of the pool.  I'd hate to deal with the risk of that much variance with difficulty increasing so much every retarget.
