They sent me payment details ,I replied to info@hitbtc.com requesting your swift/BIC to make a small transfer.
In reference to the previous post it was a request to send funds,my mistake.
They say it can takes hours to withdraw BTC ,I assume that is for large BTC withdrawals that may be handled manually ,so I will test the withdrawal of a small amount of BTC and hopefully it is quick .
May be put in the FAQ the amount of BTC at which manual transactions will occur.

I got it this Morning which is Monday ,maybe they process them manually ?

If they are short of fiat it would be very beneficial to allow the price to drop as low as possible to incentivised traders to withdraw bitcoins when they allow it .

I registered and the message was wait for an e-mail ,I was expecting the e-mail confirmation to be virtually instant like other sites I register at ,but after hours still no e-mail.
If it takes hours to send an e-mail I cannot imagine how long bitcoin or fiat would take .
Will see what the forum finds out before using them.

Restarted my computer and the client found my asics again ,so for now am back to full speed .

Glad am not the only one ,mine got down 2mhps out of a total of 3.7mhps .then they stopped completely yesterday restarted them but still only 2mhps ,they stopped all together again today ,restarted just now and still only 2mhps.  I reported this a few pages back ,My hardware are asicminer usbs on windows vista 64bit and 8gig of ram .

Who would have dreamed printing money would be so popular   hehe.

What I believe these graphs are showing is the sentiment on a very short timeframe ,but longer term I believe some of the reasons are :

One main reason buyer interest was lower during December and January was the chinese announcements forbidding 3rd party payment processors from working with bitcoin exchanges ,the deadline 31st january ,so large investors are reluctanct to enter the market till after this deadline .

Second ,news that the FED are holding a very large quantity of bitcoins from the silk road closure ,until large investor know with some certainty how these will be liquidated they will stay on the sidelines .

I believe these below reasons are possibly reflected in your timeframe .
We have recently heard of MR Shrem being arrested for alleged money laundering adding further uncertainty.
We have also seen speculation recently that MTgot has issues leading to yet further uncertainty .

Until we see more certainty with the above issues new large finacial investors on the scale of Fidelity are going to be wary of investing ,these types of institutions are what will drive price higher .

My personal opinion is to buy a bit more bitcoin on bad news and reap the rewards later ,the only news you should sell on, is that there is a flaw in the bitcoin protocol ,all other bad news is an opportunity to lower your dollar cost average to maximise gains .

It would be interesting to know which exchanges or what individual exchange you gathered this data from ,we know to disregard gox since you can only buy coins there ,so bitstanp,BTC-e or perhaps some others may be a better reflection .

I have seeded the bitcoin acceptance with a few friends that own businesses ,I have left it for now to give them time to research but I will hopefully be able to add a few more soon in my area .

The hardware is asicminer usb 335mhps each.
I will check if it happens again whether the reading per asic are frozen in the client ,assumming this is what you mean ,I will also check for error messages next time .
Will see if the client is Accepted proofs of work? Rejects? Miscalculations?
and answer when this next happens ,which hopefully is never lol.

The desktop is not frozen this time just that I'am not actually mining but the client shows that I'am .

It happened again  the client showing 3690mhps but I log onto bitminter and I'am not hashing anything ?

Using 11 asicminers on windows vista 64bit ,q6600 quad core processor ,8gig ram .
Did a snippet image but cannot paste it here .

edit : just restarted client to see how it goes .

my overall ram usage was 2.4 out of 8 gig so I do not think it was related to ram usage .
Funny really because for a month or so I noticed lots of stales and errors now it seems the client is not reporting actually what my physical miners are doing at all .

That is exactly what I did and I like my first attemp ,now a want an online shop to sell grocery for bitcoin in the uk ,got the cash and carry account got a domain now I just need to sort out the actual online shop and presto grocery for bitcoin ,no cards just coin please .

Hello just wondering if any one else has the same issue .
On my windows desktop the bitminter client says I'am mining at the normal 3690 mh/s but when I looked at my miners the lights on them were constant green ,so I go to bitminter website and find they stopped working 22/01/2014 at 22:28 ,I actually stopped on the block at 20:16

This has happened a couple of times were the desktop client shows its running fine but actually I'am not mining at all .
I leave mine running 24hrs and notice that the client functions become unresponsive ,for example the tabs for devices,tools and help stop working .

My question is why does the desktop client report full hashing power when they are not working at all ?

Hello I went through the learning process a few months ago ,I'am also from UK .
I recommend getting a hub from here
 http://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer-hardware/all/usb-fwire-io/usb-hubs-and-accessories
The code is LN9748.
It is 7 port hub but you can only put 5 usb's into it .
2 ports are for charging stuff .
These 5 work at a solid 335m/hs in this hub .
I tried cheaper hubs but they do not seem to supply the power needed per port and you start getting errors ,this hub is not cheap but works flawlessly .
Currently it takes about 2 months to get 0.1 btc with 11 usbs which is fifty pounds worth .
Just to give you an idea what return your looking for .

It is cheaper and easier to do it yourself .
I did a simple one myself ,first attempt ,diggin4coins.com .
You would just need one with a shopping cart .
mine cost seventeen pounds .

I would just like to thank any one who actually contacted e-bay .
We have at least got them to adjust their policy regarding the sale of bitcoin.
I noticed that their are currently no bitcoins at all for sale there which is either a wise decision by sellers or a clearout by e-bay .

So come Feb 10th on their UK site which is the one I spoke to ,they will have a dedicated area for selling bitcoin and similar currencies .

Congratulations all !!!!

I'am amazed ,I got my first enquiry for work from coinmap .
What is surprising is that I have not advertised "DIGGIN4COINS" anywere else yet so this has come from this site .
I have only had it on coinmap since the previous post so bitcoin is spreading in the Uk.

Yoohoo ,it would not without your help .

The only price they can set is the price of the mining equipment they manufacture ,that is also determined by what people will pay .

The difficulty controls miners not the other way round ,it is a mechanism to control the release of new bitcoins at a rate of average 10 minute intervals .

What is beautiful to see is that no-one or group have any control ,for the first time ,control has been automated and bitcoin is the first technology to be based on the new decentralised technology .

If a developer decides to build an auction platform from the decentralised network e-bay will cease to exist along with payPAL and its fees
