Quote from: stan.distortion on April 04, 2013, 01:11:17 AM Good thing you still have the wallet, leave a random generator picking away at it and it will get there some day, Moores law kind of guarantees it will get there some day. Hopefully before his computer erodes into a pile of dust.

Quote from: keatonatron on April 03, 2013, 04:01:25 AM "What's Stopping Someone From Buying From one Exchange, Selling in Another?" Nothing Although, as others have mentioned, the high price of coins now has made the fees enough to kill any profit potential. Back when coins were $4 each, you'd only incur a fee of less than $0.03 per transfer, which means buying at $4 (anywhere) and selling for $5 (anywhere) would make a nice profit. But at $120/coin (at the time of writing this) you will incure a fee of $0.72 per coin per transaction, which means you'd need a gap of more than $1.50 between your buying and selling prices to see any return. It's possible to find a gap that large over time, but not between exchanges with an immediate buy-sell maneuver Shouldn't the BTC/USD price fluctuate more? Going from $4 to $5 is a 25% increase. A 25% increase from $120/BTC would be $150/BTC.

I don't know why people do these things when they could get a real job making more money. It'd be wise to check your BTC/hr rate doing this to see if you're actually benefiting.

If you're willing to stomach a higher fee, it's easy to use a local payment processor to put funds into a MtGox account or Bitcoin address. You just run over to a CVS or some other store with a red Moneygram phone, and phone in a payment to MtGox or Bitinstant. It's quick and only slightly sketchy looking.

Maybe you could tell us the tx ID or the wallet address so we can look for ourselves?

There's also the Electrum Litecoin client if you don't want to be a full node.

Why would they spend all that money just to destroy it? This makes no sense.

Quote from: eric7 on April 03, 2013, 02:22:13 AM This might be a silly (read: newbish) question, but what's stopping someone from buying a few Bitcoins from BTC-E at 87.849 USD per BTC, and then selling them at MtGox for 118.2 USD per BTC to make a profit? Nothing. And you got the prices totally wrong. It's about 87 EURO / 1 BTC on BTC-E. If there were such a huge difference, people would have exploited it already.
