I had some problems as well, 2 transactions took over 6 hours to confirm.
Pretty annoying when you're trying to pay for something :-/

Wouldn't it be possible in theory to see where this extra volume is coming from?

You might want to be a little more specific about what kind of reviews you want.
Looking for reviews on physical products or services? Any product/service categories that you want to avoid (i.e. gambling, adult content, etc)?

I think we'll see the prices fluctuate for at least a couple of days and hopefully they'll stabilize above $300.

Your post has inspired me to start solo mining myself with 2 antminer S3's
I hope I'll get as lucky as you..

Looking at the current situation, I'd say chances are slim that we'll see something like Bitcoin-XT take off.
Plus reward halving is beneficial for miner since it creates hype and drives the prices up, in theory at least

Looking good but I thought there would be a stable release around now.
Also waiting for Windows binaries.

You can indeed try the currency exchange thread or the loans thread.
Or you might be able to find someone on http://www.paxful.com

This is pretty neat, I might add some altcoin prices for personal use.

It would certainly be a great alternative over payments by phone credit, those fees are pretty huge.
But I'm not sure if Bitcoin is mainstream enough already for that to work.

Buying loads of coins at around $100 was not a bad decision for me.
It was pretty clear that the $1000+ prices were a bubble, I sold most when it hit $1100, I believe.

Just kept a few to play around with and tripled them over time.

I would really recommend buying them from the site itself, to avoid getting scammed.

I'm guessing if these prices hold up, we'd see a lot of people going back into mining again.
Good times ahead, I hope.

I almost always give something to homeless people and have a conversation with them. They usually thank me and most of them are pretty friendly when you treat them like a human being. (not saying you didn't) 
It's pretty bad in Brussels, I know they're probably using the money to buy alcohol or drugs, but since they're living on the streets I don't blame them.

Never really liked that phrase either, I think it does sound immature.

Agreed, these prices are clearly driven up by the Chinese.
No way the gambling section has this much influence over the price. 

Wouldn't it be possible for someone to start development again?
I mean with this kind of trading volume, the coin still has a lot of potential.

I have also deposited 2 days ago and the amount is not credited in my account.
Ticket #858.

Thanks!

Edit: Ticket resolved, thanks!

I honestly think Russian Rubble would be one of the worst investments atm, their economy isn't doing too great either.

I really hope the market adjusts soon, luckily this isn't the same situation as in 2013/2014 with Mt. Gox.
