only accounts with long time without transactions may be considered lost but its not 100% sure
As I understand it accounts will be there for as long as the bitcoin network keeps working. |

I found out just now that my wallet was completely emptied yesterday. I never had opened the Bitcoin wallet up. I had been planning to move it over to an offline computer this week but alas too late. I have a good firewall, virus and malware protection. The only thing I did on this computer yesterday was install the Bytecoin client and set up solo mining...which I assume right there is the problem which opened the door. Kicking my ass right now but lesson learned. Luckily I never keep all my eggs in one basket. I had purchased some casascius coins and other is in escrow. Ugh I know it is "only" 5 BTC but at prices today I am sick. Noob mistakes for sure!
Sorry to hear that  Bitmining software is a perfect target for unscrupulous malware people, as they know bitminers will have coins and codes lying around. I had mine stored on a wallet server, but now that bitcoin central got hacked I'm building my own codes offline. What makes this 'currency' attractive is also what makes it a goldmine for thieves... |

I have the exact same problem and I went even further to reinstall the Stream SDK but yeah nothing works GUIMiner Vanishes and cgminer just crashes when I try to start it.
HD 7870
Driver: 12.8
Stream SDK 2.8?
Windows 8 64Bit
Had a BSOD before that happend
GPU Caps Viewer also crashes... I hope not that I have to reinstall my Windows...
So I'm not the only one. I've abandoned it now and I'm using cgminer with a batch file to fire it up when I start. Works great, so far. |

I have the Bitcoin-qt cliient installed, and had GUIMiner up and working. It was fine for about a week.
Today, GUIminer just refuses to start. It appear on the task bar, but when you click the icon on the task bar, it just vanishes. If I click it again, it just spawns multiple GUIminer processes, that I have to delete, but it doesn't make any difference if I delete them.
I have uninstalling and deleting both Bitcoin-qt and GUIMiner, reinstalling, then rebooting but it makes no differerence.
Has anybody else had a similar problem?

Due to a mass of trolling, only established posters are able to post in non-newbie sections. You are considered "established" if you have spent 4 hours online and have made 5 posts (new topics or replies).
What would be good is if - in the place of where the quote/reply buttons - usually are, there's a little red notice or something explaining the restriction. Myself and others have spent a few minutes in confusion gawking at the interface and trying to find the relevant buttons with which to post before finally finding that post about Newbie restrictions... Great site with really useful info, BTW!  |

These restrictions were not made clear to me when I registered, so I spent about 10 frustrated minutes trying to figure out how to post...
Thankfully a guy on the sealswithclubs chat helped me out, but come on! Can't we be more clear about this with an email or message?
Yes, me too! Maybe the forum owner could fix it so there is a big notice where the post reply and edit buttons normally are, so that we can see straight away what the restriction is. Just my two cents... |

Thanks for the useful info! I had no idea that Paypal could issue refunds even for cash gifts. Scary!

Hi, I'm Jarred! I have a Radeon 7870 @1.23ghz and an i5-2500k @4.8ghz. I'm an amateur system builder and just starting to get to know bitcoins and mining!
Hi Jarred. I'm doing some mining too. Even if it's not very profitable it's still a way of buying coins with the money spent on the electric! How many Mhash/sec are you getting? Are you overclocking it? |

I can't wait to get into the trades
Its one of the difficulties of living in the UK. Since blockchain.info stopped doing UK deposits, its now very difficult to source Bitcoin in the UK reliably. Yes! I have complained to the Blockchain info website about all their links and ads saying you CAN deposit funds via Barclays Pingit and Sofort. BOTH have been stopped! E.g.: https://blockchain.info/"Buy bitcoins in 10 minutes or less" https://blockchain.info/wallet/deposit-methodshttps://blockchain.info/wallet/deposit-bank-transferSince none of these work I've asked them to remove them and stop wasting people's time with false promises. It beggers belief that they are still posting so many links and instructions that don't work!  |

Hi,
I've just spent a long, long time getting hold of my first bitcoin. I'm now posting an ad on the Localbitcoins exchange offering to buy more, but want to understand the score regarding escrow (which I outlined in a post elsewhere).
I'm currently trying to open an account with Mt.Gox and Bitcoin Central. Mt.Gox as I understand it are the biggest dealers (90% of trades) but they make you wait 10 days to approve your account. My Bitcoin central account got approved within 3 hours though, so I think they have their act together better than Mt.Gox!
Does anybody here have experience of wiring money to Bitcoin Central?

If you post an add offering to buy people's bitcoins for a particular price, am I right in thinking that anyone who replies has to do it through the escrow system?
What confused me is that it says:
"Currently the escrow service is only enabled for advertisements selling bitcoins, and the seller has to have the bitcoins in the localbitcoins.com wallet before selling them. Support for "BUY" advertisements coming soon!"
But the whole point of escrow is that the coins people offer me are held by the localbitcoins site until I've made my payment, whereupon, and released when the seller acknowledges receipt of payment. But what if the seller refuses to acknowledge payment? Is there then a dispute process where I provide evidence that the bank transaction was made?
Some clarification would be appreciated, as mistakes could be pretty costly!
Thanks!
