Boy, I'm really trying to follow the instructions here, but I can't even find a wallet.dat file on my system. I recently started using ubuntu 10.04 (like it), but linux is a daily learning challenge.  Where is wallet.dat?

I calculate you are charging $62 for one silver coin. I laugh at you!

Question, does this equal a continued BTC inflation express?

Answer, yes.  One of the most compelling aspects of bitcoin is that it appeals to the dark, smoldering fury the educated and aware person feels when he sees the banking class hurt his relatives, children, and friends. It's not funny and bitcoin gives the good people of this world a chance to fight back.

Yeah getting money into mtgox with Dwolla is a process.  In the mean time the price of bitcoins climbs.  I resorted to trading on the forum and on bitcoinmartket.com which allows pp.  But it's at about a dollar more than mtgox right now.  Probably because of the increased risk.

I don't know how to use that site. It's appears user unfriendly, I'm afraid. Is there a manual somewhere?
106  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Now Mt Gox! on: June 02, 2011, 09:28:07 PM
I felt a RUSH of excitement when I read the email that my dwolla transfer had cleared. So, I opened Mt Gox and transferred it in, but still I see the big '0' in my balance.

Now I must wait again. 

All of this bullshit with the financial system makes obvious the need for an instant payment system (hello bitcoin).

Damn!
107  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dwolla on: June 02, 2011, 08:08:29 PM

It takes forever but that isn't really dwolla's fault, it is related to the us banking system. I would think dwolla should take credit card transactions though, that is a downfall.

Mmmm...not so sure...the funds were transferred out of my bank 2 days ago but they're not in my dwolla account yet. No response from customer service either. Dwolla is not ready for prime time.
108  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dwolla on: June 02, 2011, 06:45:42 PM
I am very frustrated with the slow motion process of getting money into dwolla. They say it takes 2-3 business days, but it's more like 5 to 7 for me.  There has to be a better way.

I read a site every day, whatreallyhappened.com, and bitcoin has now appeared there on May 25:

May 8:

and May 6:

India and China haven't woken up to bitcoin. This is true for most people on the planet. But they will, oh yes, they will.

My business is based on a niche. It's for people that want to buy/sell BTC with anonymity. Therefore, tracking a package defeats that purpose. If you want security, I would recommend that you use a wire transfer and buy/sell on Mt Gox.

But wait, how does tracking some random letter compromise one's identity, or amount purchased?
111  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Warning: Bitcoin4Cash fraud! Won't ever do business with Madhatter again. on: May 18, 2011, 10:12:08 PM
It's entirely possible that neither side is fradulent, but that a failure of the government managed postal system is to blame.

Sending cash in the mail has always sounded a little daft to me. At the very least shouldn't it be sent in a trackable way, like return receipt or something? Madhatter's site (and others) should recommend this, in my opinion.
112  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Warning: Bitcoin4Cash fraud! Won't ever do business with Madhatter again. on: May 18, 2011, 09:58:10 PM
I'd ask to see the email, but I'm not sure what it would prove.

It could prove a lot! I'd like to see the email correspondence. Let their words speak for themselves!

I still think anyone who uses OpenID login should have these buttons on their site, it makes it so much easier and less confusing. http://code.google.com/p/openid-selector/

I like those buttons, but in my case my open ID url appears to be my blogspot address, which I didn't know and since it's not one of the choices I'd still be stuck. How am I to know that google owns blogger? Don't they own everything that MS doesn't?

I'm in California and I did a locked in rate transaction with bitcoin4cash at $1.44. It took about 2 weeks for bitcoin4cash to receive my cash and I received all of my coins at $6+.

Are you saying he gave you the higher rate even though you locked way low at $1.44? If so, that would be heroic of him.

bitcoin2cash's openid system is a little tricky and you have to make sure you remember your openid url exactly.  Otherwise you will not be able to login.

Yes, definitely. The best way is to bookmark your URL so you won't forget it easily.

I had given the whole concept of openID little thought until I got a "Login Fail" error when I tried to login to bitcoin2cash.  After a slightly tedious education I succeeded. It's a little creepy to me, though.
