Why spoiling good news with this shit?
My apologies. Just wanted to point out one of the risk factors. But still, how are they dealing with the volatility issue? by doing this... "We have a bitcoin wallet where we enter the price of the shoes, the system generates a price in bitcoins according to the current exchange rate and the customer can pay using a QR code", he explains how the transaction is carried out in practice. Acquired bitcoins are immediately exchanged back to crown or euro." This helps to avoid loss incurred due to fluctuations of the exchange rate" he adds.

How this can be considered press news?

Oh god... this is not going to end well. The guy who stole all those BTCs from the Sheep Marketplace was originally from Prague, right?
Why spoiling good news with this shit? There are two dimensions of bitcoin: one is people trying to take advantage of anonymity in black markets (and mostly these attempts finish badly either for market operators or black market users as history shows), and the other is the expansion of legitimate businesses. The news are to show the better side of bitcoin.... There were a lot of assholes around (pirateat40, naima, DPR, Tomas Jirikovsky) and there will still be, but the mass perception is what really counts. |

http://euro.e15.cz/archiv/prvni-kamenny-obchod-v-cesku-prijima-bitcoiny-1044873translation: Men's luxury shoes shop will become a part of Czech bitcoin history. It is the first brick and mortar shop in the domestic market to accept bitcoins. Starting from last week it is possible to purchase shoes of different luxury brands like Church 's, Alden, Vass or Alfred Sargent for bitcoins. "Above all we want to attract young people. We were inspired by Western Europe. In Berlin or London you can pay this way normally" says shop owner Michal Kucera.
Mr. Kucera opened the store in Prague's part Ujezd last spring. He focused on brands which were missing in the portfolio of other stores. "We have a bitcoin wallet where we enter the price of the shoes, the system generates a price in bitcoins according to the current exchange rate and the customer can pay using a QR code", he explains how the transaction is carried out in practice. Acquired bitcoins are immediately exchanged back to crown or euro. "This helps to avoid loss incurred due to fluctuations of the exchange rate" he adds.
Until now it was possible to pay in bitcoins in Czech republic only while shopping online. During 6 years of existence digital currency has gained a favor among hundreds of thousands of people. Huge interest drives up the value of Bitcoin . Its price in the last two weeks got over a thousand dollars. Last Friday it was possible to buy one bitcoin (BTC) for $990 at one of the biggest bitcoin exchanges Bitstamp. While still at the beginning of this year the currency was traded for about fifteen dollars.
Bitcoin has gained many fans mainly because of it's anonymity. It's not possible to determine the identity of the owner. The second advantage is the independence of the central bank or other central authority. The disadvantage are large exchange rate fluctuations or hacker attacks .
There are clear rules on how the currency is issued, the supply is predetermined and can not be changed . Currently, there are nearly twelve million bitcoins in circulation worldwide
More and more positive news are flooding Czech press. E15 is a business focused magazine with 60 000 printouts daily. Adding to above news there is also the first pub serving beer accepting bitcoins since the beginning of December.

One possibility why you are seeing 0 balance is because you ran a bitcoin client on another PC. When you first run a client it creates a folder with a new wallet.dat file.
What you need to do is to replace a wallet.dat file in the bitcoin data folder with the one you have restored from the old HDD and resync the client. Pay attention at when the block 170102 is being downloaded, you must see the balance then.

Is it ok to exchange between alt coins and BTC on BTC-E? I would then transfer the BTC to my wallet and coinbase to get fiat.
yes, it always worked for me. There is no need for account verification to do that. |

or you may want to try and post your problem here... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=29698.1540it's in russian, so use Google translator or something. it seems that a lot of problems are being solved directly by a forum user btc-e.com, try contacting him in the thread or by PM. |

I see, actually I've heard a lot of complaints about them, but personally I have only traded between BTC/LTC there and that was reliable. When it comes to fiat, I better use bitstamp and mt.gox (however mt.gox is ultra slow with processing fiat withdrawals, you have to count with it).
I hope they'll process your request, keep pushing.

weird poll,
if I vote >800, >900, >1000 isn't that the same as only voting for >800? it would have more sense to have intervals 800-900, 900-1000, 1000-1100.. imho.

Have you sent them a SEPA transfer or a regular domestic transfer (since their bank subsidiary is in Czech rep.)? I wanted to do that as well (to use a domestic transfer), but before sending them any money I have risen a support ticket.. still no reaction though.

...here my wallet check it out on blockchain
1GDCa1L4Z8DBZQv8gWK8k1HZkMdFy4mbGU
so you are the 500th wealthiest wallet out there (check http://bitcoinrichlist.com/top500)?I have 1600 bTC.
blockchain says you have 2270 BTC I had over 5,000+ but all I can remember is this account.
wut? have you at least tried to recover them? I don’t know what to do with them. Should I take them out or should I keep them?
if you are not trolling (which I heavily doubt) then you should take one third to enjoy your life, third to establish a business and third to keep for future. |

greedy pig 20$ are possible but not very realistic, before that 10.000 people will buy coins at 100$ ^^
OP is talking about LTC, not BTC price. It's quite obvious $20 in BTC world is unreal. |

No point of listing such people here, better just ignore them..

Germany is actually taxing incomes from Bitcoin speculation if you do not keep the btc for at least 1 year. It is taxed in the same way as any other foreign exchange trading. Well expect the government cant search my BTC wallet  I always wondered... How can you tax a (pseudo)anonymous currency? From legal perspective it's quite easy - the same way you tax "cash". Make it your obligation by law to provide tax returns in bitcoins. |

Worth trying to recover it. Unplug your HDD, attach to another PC and run some utility like testdisk or something. There is a chance the bits remained untouched and you will be able to recover it. There should be professional services who can do recovery in your area.
