I have heard of some bad stories about them.

However I would try contacting them again via their support system, instead of reddit.




Let us know what happens.

I have done this, multiple times. Email, their contact/support form, and their 'live' chat form.

According to the company they are working on this. Will update here if the money's not in my account within 24 hours.

5  Other / Beginners & Help / my issues with Bitcoin, despite loving it. on: April 08, 2013, 07:37:17 PM
I did a couple videos on my YouTube channel that have been popular w/ the Bitcoin community, now even appearing in the first page of results when people search for Bitcoin on YouTube.

Despite loving my experience so far, and the helpful/passionate community that BTC has exposed me to, some lingering issues:

1) Constant talk of being in a bubble is annoying. People should stop treating this as an investment, and treat it as a community/passion/idea.
2) Related: the psychological mosquito of knowing I've paid hundreds of dollars for a digital currency I was interested in a year ago, and should have bought then.
3) Takes, in my opinion, too long for transactions to settle. It has been a couple hours now, and I still have an unconfirmed transaction in the ether (will that eventually go into my account?) and the vast majority of my balance is not yet available to spend... quite unnerving. At least with PayPal, despite the fees, there is no ambiguity or possibility of a payment slipping into 'unconfirmed' never never land.

Don't get me wrong, I think Bitcoin will eventually eat up PayPal's $145 billion payment volume, before eventually wiping out PayPal and the credit card processing model altogether. But if other users have to experience these anxieties on a daily basis, I'm not sure if it will ever go as mainstream as I'd like it to.

Your thoughts?
