You should save at least one BTC on a paper wallet (with at least one extra save copy and no traces of your private key left on a PC), instead of playing around with it, then chances are you will still have it when a BTC is worth $500+.

Pssssssst, don't tell anybody, really nobody, keep it secret for you:
I already have the amazing amount of 0.8 BTC safe on a paper wallet!!

I'm really clever, ain't I? Grin

Please take it for fun:

I also see it as an investment, but I wouldn't rely my life savings on it - if it's away, it's away.
I think, I will buy another 2 or 3 BTC the next time I have some bucks (that I do not really need to feed my cat or pay the insurance) and have an interesting time on the Internet in playing around with them...
And I will be happy in ten or fifteen years, when my then five BTC are worth $500 each...  Grin

This is not an issue of wallet compatibility, they just don't send anything - that's all.

Sorry, I thought, my sarcasm was obvious... I do not really expect to get anything back...

If you meet a stranger that wants $300 from you and tells you he will be back tomorrow at the same place and give you $350 then, would you do that?
Would you do that, if he has done that was $10->$12 the day before?
Because that's exactly what you did here.

Have done so in real life, got back the $350 and was once more convinced, that not all the people are bad... Have to overthink my pic of mankind... Wink
I more thought, that I walked into a casino, with the possibilities to lose something or to win something, but not to be robbed.
And yes, I was (and am) aware, that dealing with BTC is something like playing (I even might have thought a very little bit, that I could be one of the lucky ones in a beginning pyramid scheme and get out soon enough...).

I tried their service, first with 0.25 and 0.01 and 0.25 (on 05/01; 05/01 and 05/05) and received payments a few days later (0.2911 on 05/07; 0.0112 on 05/08 and 0.2765 on 05/11); so I thought it would work and invested my only three BTC in some tranches (05/07, 05/09, 05/11 and a "weekend-promo" with 2x0.5 BTC on 05/12).
After asking per Mail on 05/17, I received the well-known automated answer - so I do fear, that my blockchain-wallet is not compatible with their service, although I have received payments to that adress yet.
No payment, no further notice until now.

I think, it's issues like that, that hold "normal" people away from using BTC at all; - "it's all a big scam, I know a colleague who was ripped off..."; "they are all dealing with drugs there..."; "why is there no government control?.." and so on...
For my own, I'm happy to have followed one of the most important statements on BTC: "Never invest more, than you are willing and able to lose." I was aware of the danger, but I thought I would lose it because of my own incompetence - being scammed is not a good feeling.  Sad

Hello to all;

I'm from Germany and came here as a "victim" of the bitcoin-24.com-Crash, because some of the information given about the issue is placed here in the forum.
I did not invest really much in Bitcoins - always having in mind, what I read (about six weeks ago) as one of the first things about it: never invest more as you are willing to lose completely. O.K., so I was prepared to lose something because of my own incompetence, but not this way.

To speak in numbers, there are about 3.6 BTC and about 2 Euros from me locked in bitcoin-24.com - not very much, but it makes me feel angry, that it's not my own fault loosing it...

What makes me really upset is the way the information from and about the debacle(?translation, right word?) is spread around the whole net.
