And did you contact them about it?
Sure, i send them a message through the internal msg system. But did you get any reply, and what was in there? |

Amen, and doing it properly IS hard!

*palmface* That was a joke. |

Continuously under development (because users want more and better features) and people make errors.

There was a serious bug in MB some hours before they went down. Probably they just try to fix it.
Any source where you got the info about the bug? I was affected by it myself and another person from my jabber list had the same problem. And did you contact them about it? |

Anyhow, another polish exchanger had a wallet.dat dissappearing problem too today  Fools, the only way not to loose it is to use a payment processor, like Mybitcoin, to store their funds... oh... wait... |

Did anyone remember that advertiser (for VOIP) that they had on the site? Maybe they know more.

And which shop owner runs their webshop on their computer at home? Codes their payment processor themselves and keeps an eye on it that it runs 24/7?
Store bitcoins as a bank? Sure, do that on your home computer. Run a webshop, then you want a payment provider that does all the accounting for you.

Although I can't speak for everyone, I'd believe the majority are not in possession of a VPS or the knowhow. Perhaps you could post a tutorial for newbies?
That, and I don't want to be bothered with all the details of the accounting. It is easier to get just a notification when the money is in. |

The problem I have with your merchant system is that your site is extremely slow processing bitcoin deposits.
Often it is 1 hour or more, and mybitcoin did it in a few seconds.
Yes I realize the risk in this, but the services I sell are time sensitive, I cannot hold it for an hour to see if the customer pays or not.
It would be great your API could instantly tell me when a payment is received (even if I have to wait for it to be confirmed in block chain before I can spend it).
We can make that happen too, a first notification when payment is on the bitcoin network. However we cannot guarantee it'll be confirmed (that's up to miners). What could be a compromise is if you send the confirmation when the payment has been seen on the network and actually add the funds to the account of the merchant when there is x blocks containing the payment. From what I know, when the payment has been broadcasted it is already difficult to change/undo it. <edit> MagicalTux, mailed you. </edit> |

Yeah, MtGox would do for me. Others are no option, because most don't allow automatic sending of payments. I've looked up the whois record of bitcoin. abuse@mybitcoin.com is also down. Googled the address, found this: http://www.nevisfinance.com/Directory.cfm?Idz=1 (same address as under Meridian Trust Company Ltd., with a Tracey Williams-Morton (MyBitcoin owner is registred as Tom Williams), same person?) <edit> Mailed Tracey Williams-Morton with the question if she can bring me in contact with Tom Williams. </edit> |

Not all e-wallet providers have all the features that mybitcoin has.
It is far more easier to have a e-wallet provider interfacing to bitcoind and taking care of all the accounting, instead of doing it all yourself. I've seen already a couple of times that bitcoind died on services. I don't want to have to watch it for 24/7 to make sure it is up.

Is e-mail btw a legal method to send such letter? Could you claim in court that you never received it?

People from the Netherlands have to join a pension fund (done automatically, paid by the boss) and although I don't think it's a bad thing, the people in control (fund managers and government) often do wrong things (risky investments (Iceland, Greece), grabbing money from the funds when there is too much in there due to good financial investments (in the 90s)). I'm 28 years old now and even the baby boomers have to work now longer and get less pension due to the economic crisis, so by the time that I can enjoy my pension I expect to get nothing any more (all finished by the baby boomers who will go with pension in about 7 - 15 years).

In your reply you make many statements, without providing any references. If you want to convince someone in such strong manner, I would suggest you to add those references (else it seems just a lot like a conspiracy theory in respect to his motivation).
<edit>
Also don't attack them personally and directly if you have to, you'll loose credit with them.

I have one, only used it 2 times (small amounts) in the past 10 years and paid back at the end of the month. In that way they are ok.
