I apologize, and I believe you were also a victim as you stated. Those damn keyloggers can be quite dangerous; I learned that the hard way. I'm hoping the price crashes so I can buy in again, this time paper wallet only.

So you're saying that some virus put that forum post announcing collectcoins.net through your account? Is that even possible?

Do not help this guy with anything.  He stole over 8 bitcoins from me last night. Yeah it's my fault for falling for his ploy, but he's still the thief.

Bitkoinzz got his thread removed an hour or so ago.. See my post at reddit:

Anyone know who this guy is? I'd like to get my btc back......

Still can't get the windows wallet to even work.. this coin is am-a-teur.

map??

Unfortunately, the windows client does not work for Windows 7 64bit =(  Any ideas?

Well, if that's the case, how does one actually figure out how much more electricity mining is costing over and above just having the computer on?

I'm pretty new to mining and have a question. I see a lot of talk about electricity as a cost of mining. Is this a cost of having the computer on vs off? In other words, if my computer is is mining using the GPU, does it use more electricity than if I'm using my computer for everyday stuff like email, web surfing, etc? I'm confused on this subject. I leave my computer on just about 24/7, so does that cost the same as mining 24/7?

Is there a fix for this? I just installed Electrum and getting the same error, checked the directory and that dll file does exist so I dunno what's up?

Cash under the mattress is the way to go these days.. I don't think there's any issue, at least at this stage of the game, with sending the BTC over the internet, and taking the cash in person....Anyone know how to make email notification of replies work on this forum?

long shot my butt! If the IRS smells another way to extract money from us, they will, end of story. They'll end up going after outfits like coinbase and bitstamp and discover how much they paid out to whom and congress will make a new addition to the already gargantuan tax code about being taxed on the sale of bitcoins.  I'm a little hesitant of meeting someone in person to do the exchange.. this is starting to feel like an action movie with me as the star!

New here, not a troll.. made some major profits since buying bitcoins a year ago, now want to dump them for $$. In doing all this research, it appears the only way to avoid any tax is to do in person transactions for cash via a site like localbitcoins.com.  If I use a site like bitstamp or coinbase, they're going to deposit to my bank account so there will be a paper trail.  Do I have this about right?
