Hi hfertig,

Thanks for the reply

Yes, we are talking about the same bitcoin24. I can log in no problem with any of my two accounts there. I can as well withdraw bitcoins but no fiat money. Not sure why you can't login thou...

Assuming that there was no problem with bitcoin24, do you see any explanation on how the bitcoins could have gone missing when doing the transfer and how is it possible that the target address does not show up on the  blockchain?

Hi all,

Hopefully you can help me out with a big issue here ...   

Almost a week ago I withdrew a number of BTCs from my account in Bitcoin-24. I sent the bitcoins to my address of mt-gox, but they have now shown up so far (while the amount has been substracted from my bitcoin-24 wallet).

I have searched for the target address into blockchain.info and I can see no trace of this bitcoin transfer ... There also is no track of the BTCs in the transaction record of the site. As far as I know, the site still allows to withdraw bitcoins (this option was previously disabled) so I do not know what could have gone wrong...

I have submitted several tickets to bitcoin-24 (I would call them something else but I am trying to keep calm) with no answer ... 

Is there something else I can do to try to locate these bitcoins? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

That makes sense. Thanks, nitrous

Hello all,

this is my first post which I'd like to open with the following discussion: what the implications are when buying BTC using whether EUR or USD?

I plan to buy my first BitCoins through a SEPA bank transfer in EUR. However, the online exchanger Bitstamp service converts from EUR to USD before buying the BTCs. This happens free of charge, so the only downside I can see to this is the exchange rate being applied. This exchange rate is the one provided by Bitstamp on the next link

However, in a non very comprehensive way of attracting customers, BitStamp uses a exchange agent where some words are intelligibly unless oneself speaks Slovenian, so I am not sure how it is possible that the exchange rate is better than the market one as of today (1.29 vs 1.2802 USD per EUR)

So, apart from the change being applied, is there any other factor which I should consider before buying BTCs in USD? I have seen some charts in which the EUR and USD change vs BTC are shown and they seem to follow relatively close the ups and downs, so it looks like it should be the same buying them in EUR as in USD?

What do you guys think? 

PS: I know there are some other exchange services out there that trade directly in EUR, but, for example, MtGox needs account validation (dont wait to wait that long) and Bitcoin-24 seems to be out of service.

Thanks
