So my account has finally been verified, it only took a couple weeks. Was thinking about depositing some money to get some Bitcoin, but reading the last couple comments, i'm now nervous to do so.
Maybe I'm just paranoid since the gox thing, but I'm not really a fan of losing money.
Are there any users here that are using them without issues?
I haven't done anything recently, but everytime I've interacted with CaVirtex they've always processed my money quickly (according to their schedule). I'm sure others will have negative stories (all large services do). I do know someone who had some issues trying to withdraw some fiat through CaVirtex back when Bitcoins were trending up. The reason given at the time was excessive demand slowing down the process, which I believe. They did receive all their money a week or two late, but without having to complain. |

So has anyone read the share registration document yet? What is with that clause stating you have to be an accredited investor? I, and I doubt many others, meet any of the listed rules to be considered an accredited investor, which includes things like being a millionaire. I cannot sign the contract in its current form. What are we supposed to do now?
I'm starting to feel like we've been duped after all. This requirement was never mentioned once anywhere! I'm back to being extremely worried again and somebody needs to address this ASAP.
I came to post this. It seems like I'll have to go open an account with an "accredited investor" and get them to complete these documents in my name. Is that right? I would have sold my shares on Havelock if I had known in advance. Based upon this link: http://www.osc.gov.on.ca/en/21943.htm, that isn't good enough. Accredited investors can only purchase shares for themselves, and not for another person. Though IANAL and IANAA, so I might be reading that wrong. |

If anyone is a lawyer or knows one familiar with Canadian law perhaps they could contact me or comment on what appears to be a breach of contract. It seems to me that they cannot delist from Havelock without being open to being sued?
IANAL, but based upon what I asked some people who are more familiar with trading, the documents CaVirtex put out are not "formal" documents. While you might be able to argue in a court it was still a contract, the court may not look so happily on the situation, as you did invest using a non-official currency (if the court would consider it a currency) in a foreign country. In fact, because of the edge of the law you are trading on, it makes sense for CaVirtex to delist. If you assume they are honest, then trading in a virtual currency on a foreign exchange does nothing to help them appear as a valid corporation, and probably skirts the edge of corporate law anyway. That being said, I am an investor to and hope that we are taken care of appropriately. |

Isn't the first block unspendable?
I didn't know that. I just remember reading things that made it sound like it was spendable. Anyways, moving up a block: 12c6DSiU4Rq3P4ZxziKxzrL5LmMBrzjrJX still has its 50 coins. Same principle. |

bitcoin fails anyway
thats why satoshi left dev and cashed out
When this address: 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa ( http://blockchain.info/block-index/1) is zeroed out, I'll believe he actually cashed out. |

I'd like to be let you out of the newbie section. I've been reading and dealing with bitcoins since at least January 2012 when GPU's could still make blocks and have high level knowledge of the high level details. I've read several of the lower deep down bits and have a general understanding. I'm more of a lurker on this forum, so I haven't made any posts yet. I don't have any specific issues to post about, just want to be involved with the bigger community.
I'm not sure what to use to prove my knowledge level. I understand the basics of a block (containing a list of transactions, including the generation transaction), why generating blocks isn't a set number of hashes (changing the nonce to try and find a sha256 hash that is numerically smaller then a constant, defined by the difficulty. Since each tried nonce is a guess, it is like wining the lottery finding the right number), why the previous description doesn't fully describe what is going on (hash contains other details, including merkle root of transaction list, which contains another nonce in the generation transaction). I basically understand client communication, with the IRC server being a seed for connections, all clients communicating with random other ones (up to 8 by default), transactions being pushed around over p2p network. Client side is done by JSON with the various requests in the default client.
