I have little experience with Mt.gox.... but i have heard they are very slow for withdrawing funds..

BitStamp on the other hand I haven't had any issues like this. (Apart from when they blocked my funds until I provided ID, but I think mtgox did this too, and now it's standard if transferring money from your bank)

On bitcoinity, if you look at this market share chart, you will see that with a 6 months span mtgox provided to around 50% of the market, but in the past 30 days it has leveled out with bitstamp and actually bitstamp held bigger market share than mtgox for the first time (i think)... Around 30% each, this just shows how people are losing faith in Mtgox and prefer bitstamp for many reasons...

I personally use bitstamp for the current true bitcoin price , that's not to say I don't also watch mtgox prices but I see it as inflated, maybe because this is where 90% of noobs exchange their first coins, idk.

Also if you buying in for the first time, bitstamps prices are generally lower than mtgox, so more bitcoin for your money i suppose...

I have actually seen them ban lots of users for absolutely nothing.... I think when it gets to busy to read any comment properly they just go on a banning spree.  Anyone who isn't adding "quality chat" risks getting muted.

If you want a bitcoin trollbox where anything goes... Try visiting CEX.io..  There's a lot of idiots there who just love caps and anything else you can throw at them. 

I'm sure anyone who likes the idea of cex has already registered, but just in case you haven't, plz access via this link and i might earn a few pennies: https://cex.io/r/0/david/0/

$750 high on Mtgox... I guess over $1000 by the end of today.

Count me in!!!

OK, I have a problem here i hope somebody can advise me on,...  My knowledge on all this is limited, i did try to search to find somebody with a similar problem but couldn't find anything.  I haven't slept for over 30 hours now and this is really stressing me out, so forgive me if this doesn't make the best of sense....

Right, so I had a bitcoin wallet with 53 bitcoins in it... I then discovered satoshi dice and was hooked, playing it on and off for several hours yesterday.

After playing for several hours I made a bet/payment of 14btc, then followed by another of around 30btc, leaving my balance at 26btc (after winning of previous games were confirmed)

but this is were it gets very weird....  All of a sudden, for all my new transactions stop receiving any confirmations, so the 14btc and 30btc transfer just stayed at 0 confirmations for over 24 hours along with 5 smaller transactions, but the coins left my wallet leaving me with 26 coins.   satoshidice's site acknowledges the payment but didn't process any game, it is the strangest thing...  I have a transaction id but when i search it on their site it shows that they didn't play a game like all the other payments.  it is as if somebody had spent the money out of my wallet before i sent the payment, making my wallet a dud basically, does that make sense?

So although i had 7 transactions at the top of my wallet with 0 confirmations when i made a new payment the following day it received confirmations without any problems.

I was left with a wallet with apparently 26btc, but i knew somethign strange had happened.

thinking i had just lost 44btc somehow, but it got worse...

I decided to export my wallet and upload it onto blockchain.info, this would be a good way of getting an accurate situation of whats in my wallet.  When i uploaded the wallet.dat file and logged in I ONLY HAD 0.1002 BITCOINS.

I know transaction history can be followed, so i wonder if anybody can help me by checking if any funds left my wallet to any address other than  1dice97ECuByXAvqXpaYzSaQuPVvrtmz6

ps sorry for the long winded, messy post,i hope somebody can take the time to read it, thanks.
