So I have been mining for a while and buying selling, but this is the first time it has took over a day to send btc. the address is ..
19xCssUmAdm8MhjBR2eZfrmtMp2six1THn and that is the receiving address. any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
You haven't provided enough information to help figure out what is happening. If you sent from your wallet and you use the Bitcoin.org client, then that will show you if the transaction has confirmed. If it shows that it has confirmed (six or more confirmations) then the problem is with the service receiving the funds. |

They should be able to any, one or multiple of those: bank wire, flattr, webmoney, dwolla, pecunix, paypal, weepay, etc...
For the same reason that no Bitcoin exchanges accept paypal, wepay, etc, you likely won't find any offer to send non-reversible bitcoins using funds received through these payment methods notorious for chargebacks. Perhaps the Dwolla method could be implemented. The payment service simply sends once a month to your contributors a Dwolla invoice. Dwolla is a push-only payment network thus the contributor would need to login and hit the Pay button each month but at least those funds, once they've been sent, are easily converted to bitcoins (while having a relatively low likelihood of being charged back.) |

I'd like to offer a method to subscribe for recurring donations.
Propster does this. Essentially, the contributor maintains a balance of bitcoins in that person's Propster EWallet and periodically the pledges are processed and the funds transfer. So you simply set yourself up with a Jar on Propster and direct your "fans" there. - https://propster.me |

Ridiculous price aside, doesn't eBay forbid the exchange of digital goods like online game items, electronic currency, etc?
Nope. Not as far as I can tell. - http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/items-ov.html#prohibited Counterfeit currency they prohibit, sure. Copyrighted items where you don't have the right to transfer, sure that's prohibited. But digital goods (images, audio, etc) are not prohibited, online games not prohibited. They allow gift cards to be sold, but only one at a time. Now if you are asking about the ability to use PayPal to pay for a bitcoin sold thorugh eBay, that's an entirely different issue. Also, eBay is almost exclusively run on PayPal now. Are BTC sellers just risking it for the sake of the price gouging opportunity? Here's the latest "unhappy" seller that was accepting PayPal for purchase of bitcoins through eBay: Paypal just bent me over - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=120441.0 |

Didn't Mt.Gox have an issue with their European banks? Right now, isn't it more difficult to deposit/withdrawl from the EU? Its the only news that I've heard that would cause such a sell off..
SEPA is fine, but for those in the UK it's been a rough number of weeks. Mt. Gox has no support currently from their UK bank Barclay's, and Intersango has lost the ability to use its UK bank, Metro. Fortunately, Blockchain.info added Barclay's Pingit and Bitcoin-Central just this week launched its BTC/GBP marketplace, so those in the UK are regaining service through exchanges (in addition to using local traders who have gained activity and grew their client base). Whether that type of activity alone is enough to sway the exchange rate much though is doubtful. I'm not even going to try and speculate as to why this selloff is underway. |

you might as well print the QR code for the wallet URL.
Let's just presume there are non-technical people who will be holding paper bitcoins. (This is coming, trust me on this one.). Currently, there is no easy way for that value to be redeemed by a person in a face-to-face transaction. Adding this capability adds value (i.e. and thus, a comparative advantage) for an EWallet, especially if that EWallet already has the UI support for "redeem" (as EasyWallet already does, but just for its own EasyWallet codes). |

you have to turn it on via the preferences.
Or, to match the terms used by EasyWallet, you need to turn off the "Use Static Address" option under Settings. |

One feature that would be useful would be the ability to redeem a private key. Currently the choices for this are limited from a mobile. The MtGox live app on Android and iOS will do this but only with the app installed and only to a Mt. Gox account. Blockchain.info/wallet will also do this but from their web site only and it requires login, so unless you already have an account it takes a little extra seconds to set up an account. But if Easywallet were to have this feature (to redeem a private key), I could then hand a paper Bitcoin to someone and then that person can use a mobile to go to Easywallet.org, click Redeem, scan the private key QR code and be done. After the transaction confirms they can spend it. That's easy!  |

This is something.  - http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD#rg60zczsg2012-10-11zeg2012-10-26ztgSzm1g10zm2g25That shows a clear week-over-week downtrend (measured Wednesday evening (west) / Thursday morning (east)). Looking at it at the correct time, on Wednesday evening / Thursday morning, the GREEN LIGHT was definitely on (i.e., in a downtrend, current 7-day period versus previous week's 7-day period). So anyone following the weekend dip strategy verbatim would have done the trade hours ago (again, Wednesday evening (west) / Thursday morning (east)) when the exchange rate was $11.50-ish. Anyone who did that currently can buy those back at $11.10, and see a several percent gain even after trading fees. So technically, this Weekend Dip indicator yielded a +1 already, regardless what it does for the rest of the weekend. Now for those who, like me, were only observers rather than sellers -- the question now is .. "is it too late"? The weekend dip strategy isn't useful for indicating patterns within a weekend. It simply says when there is a green light on Wednesday evening (west) / Thursday morning (east) then historically sometime over the next two or three days (or so) the exchange rate will drop. It doesn't suggest how much it will drop, or when. But following the strategy when the green light if flashing has historically been profitable more often than not. This 5% drop in the exchange rate occurred without there being real heavy selling. Because this dip happened pretty early, there will be new funds arriving in Japan on Friday morning (Thursday evening / west), so the "New Monday Monday" may come early ... on Friday, so fellow weekend dip followers, keep that in mind. But if there's no spike back up, then there could be more dipping (resulting in a bigger gain), yet to come. |

I don't understand the comparison of crowdfunding to investment. Investors get a stake in the company they're investing in. Crowdfunders get a hand-written letter or a piece of equipment or other goods, and they know that. There's no expectation of profit.
You are confusing the donation-based (sort-of) crowdfunding that Kickstarter offers and the equity crowdfunding that was signed into law in the U.S. earlier this year. See: U.S. CrowdFunding Bill - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=73858.0 |

I was more concerned about those trading sites like BTCe (the only one I know of atm) Well, there are a number of ways an account at an online service can get compromised. BTC-e differs from Instawallet in that it used for account protection a username and password. Obviously, security basics like not re-using your password with more than one service and using a strong password apply. Because it is hard for many people to maintain secure computers free of malware, several exchanges and EWallets no support multi-factor authentication. When multi-factor is implemented correctly, the spyware/malware can't perform a replay attack to get access to the funds. Also, you are trusting that the EWallet operator maintains secure systems. The track records at the exchanges overall has not been good. So ideally, if you have to have funds at an exchange, you are only doing that when you are actively trading. Otherwise withdraw the funds rather than use the EWallet as a savings account. |

You don't consider card counting cheating? That's awesome! How many decks of cards are used in each game of blackjack?
Dooglus answered this earlier: They use 8 decks and shuffle before every hand.
You can see that 8 decks are used by opening up the 'provably fair' sub-window and counting the length of the "final shuffle" string. Reading the "what is this?" link in the bottom right corner of that sub-window makes it clear that they shuffle before dealing every hand.

Just to verify, the BTC/PGAU market is no longer? Also, looking at the Fees page, I see the LRUSD and LREUR deposit and withdrawal methods are still both supported. So if I sell BTC on the BTC/GBP market and end up with GBPs, can I then withdraw those funds as LRUSD (after some conversion, presumably)? I also see referenced on that Fees page how Mt. Gox redeemable codes may be redeemed for credit at Bitcoin-Central (and issued, for a fee). But the deposit and withdrawal pages reference only a Bitcoin-Central redeemable code. Is the help page wrong? |

What I don't understand is how someone with 3k+ on eBay is able to get away with it and I can't. Call me an idiot if you want, but it's not like I'm the only one that took the chance.
Did you have many chargebacks filed? |

this might be a good business idea: start a company that develops mining software for specific HPC tasks and acts as a mining pool for the GPU/CPU miners that join the pool.
You just described CoinLab's second initiative. CoinLab has two initiatives. The original was a client that mined bitcoins using the gamer's GPU hardware. The proceeds go towards game subscription and in-game purchases
The second, initiative (and now, main initiative, it appears) is to have GPU owners run a client that will do computing tasks on-demand, including scientific or other types of computations, or mining if that yields better revenue. The presumption is that the revenue from mining [bitcoins] using any GPUs will not be sufficient to pay for the cost of electricity, thus most will be retiring their GPUs from Bitcoin mining duty.

Hey guys, today I went to cvs to use my Bitinstant print out to use moneygram. After I did the phone stuff, I went to the cashier, and I told her I'm paying a bill, and she said my name wasn't coming up. I tried again, three times... Every time it didn't work.
They might not be monitoring the forum, particularly with the trade show and other travels I've seen them reporting. e-mail would be your best bet for support: - https://www.bitinstant.com/contact |
