You don't really speak English very well either, but my experience regarding Bayer is the same as yours. He never got my money because there were too many red flags, but I suggest anybody trading with him have him send the money first. He said he's nick is lox on Bitcoin-OTC, you should probably get him to verify that as well.

I can hardly believe it, it actually works! 2x 6950, GUIMiner, W7 64bit. 1-2% CPU usage, no noticable loss in performance.

Yes.

The time stamps are when the client first saw the transaction, not the time of the block it was recorded in. Don't know why it's done like that. Everything you've done after June 8th will get todays date or later.

The withdraw URL on MtGox looks nothing like 0/withdraw.php. I think you're doing something completely wrong, but it's hard to tell what without a detailed description of what URL you are trying to open and what you're clicking. Which browser/version are you using?

Wanting to buy some coins, and having seen how the last trade price tend to be a bit lower on TH than MG, I decided to give TH a try. This is my experience after buying a few hundred coins.

- Bots
This is what ruined the whole point of using TH. The reason why the last traded price is some times lower on TH is that the spread (difference between buy and sell price) is often larger than on MG. However, if you try to take advantage of this by adding an offer that is slightly higher/lower than the current ones, the bots will add another offer that is $0.0000000002 or so higher or lower than yours in a few seconds. Most trades on TH are small and far between, so most likely your bid will never win unless the price on MG changes enough that the bots can use it for arbitrage. The spread on MG is much lower, so usually you'll get a better price by just buying/selling at market price.

- Fees
Cheaper on MG unless you trade for less than ~$300/month.

- User interface
The most important part to me is order book/last sales. Not very good on either site, but at least MG's web based order book is not completely useless. I ended up making my own script that uses the API. When you try to add an order TH does no calculations for you. MG will calculate either the total of either BTC or dollars, depending on which number you change. This makes it much easier to avoid mistakes and spend or get exactly the amount you want. The only plus for TH is that the pages seem to load somewhat faster, but they are both much slower than they should be.

- Funding account using Paxum
Seems to only be processed once a day on either site.

Edit: Fixed spread, don't know what I was thinking.

You too, gigasvps! My virtual Mastercard didn't work with Paxum and OKPAY still haven't responded to my verification process so it was nice to at least get a few. Also bought some MG$ from Yankee.

Problem is it's just ridiculously slow and/or expensive to buy bitcoins for Europeans at the moment. I've applied for an account at Paxum and OKPAY, but it seems to take a while and I was hoping to get some coins quickly. There is no moneypak here, and I can't find a way to fund any of the exchanges with what I've got.

I still need to buy some coins. I've added some different ways I can pay.

I'd like to buy some coins, minimum 5, I'm paying $2.70 each. I can pay using Paypal, Neteller or Moneybookers.

Judging from the current hash rate another PPS pool is not what miners want.

Heard about the boy who cried wolf? You greatly over estimate how exciting people think yet another wannabe exchange site is.

I'm just curious. US companies are some times asking for one when they want to verify info, but I haven't seen it used for this elsewhere and it never happens in my country. It doesn't seem very reliable to me.

+1 kcmastrpc, sent money quickly after we agreed to the deal.

When I'm doing it for profit I can't be bothered when the price is under $4 at the current difficulty, but right now it's getting cold so I'm just switching on as much as I need for heating.

I've got 3 miners, two of them gives 2.7 MH/W and one 2.4 MH/W at peak efficiency measured for the complete system at the wall. If I want more heat it's less, though. Unfortunately I've spent a lot of time testing different combinations of software and settings to get that result and I would be shooting myself in the foot if I just gave it away.

I ended up trading $25 or more with challengeaccepted, BitCoinWebHost and brendio. No problems so far

Thanks, I think I'll get the money I wanted now. I'll summarize when I know which trades goes through.

I have some money on MtGox. I'll trade them as a MtGox code for PayPal with someone who has verified PP and a decent history on this forum or OTC.

- 4% fee and max $25 (so $24 MtGox for $25 PP) if you haven't done much trading or only in the last 60 days.
- 1:1 up to $100 if you have a good trading history.
- You send first as gift.
- My PP account is verified.

PM me if you're interested.

Bought an Amazon GC last week. Email response from the site came within a few minutes, and the GC came after about 12 hrs.
