Again, you'd be using a 3rd party to process the payment.  Liberty reserve will take a fee for processing it, and then you need to get the money out of them to your bank.

I'd say go with tradehill. I did a transaction of a similar number of coins yesterday and had it withdrawn to Dwolla within an hour.  A bank transfer would take 1-3 business days, but you'd avoid first going through LR and then to your bank.

They have an instant sell system, and will do a direct deposit to your bank account.

Right now they are offering $27.85 per coin

Well, the refund is pending for 3-5 business days.  That's paypal, not you.  Sorry we couldn't do business.

Well, it's only a $100 I could lose right now.  Not a huge deal to me.  I'm not as cynical and untrusting as I should be.  I'm willing to give people the benefit of the doubt.

I did a test purchase of 4 through Webstore.  I am interested in buying you out.  But I would like to do it in groups of 4 to minimize my losses if something happens.

The money should have gotten to you through PayPal, and you have my bitcoin address in the PM and email I sent you.

I'll let everybody know how it goes.

Thought I'd put my experience here.

I transferred in 30BTC last night.  Put a sell order, they sold immediately.  I put in a request for a withdraw with Dwolla, had the money within the hour.

The process for withdrawing money is a bit confusing (Box A - Box G?), but I'm sure it will be prettied up eventually.

Just wanted to throw my 2Bitcents in.

Very fast, courteous response to my email inquiry.  Less than 1 hour for a withdraw to Dwolla.  This seems like a dream, I just hope that an influx of users doesn't happen too quickly and overload their resources.

Edit:  And since everybody else is doing it... TH-R1366

Blah blah, reduced fees, blah blah, affiliate program.

Well, that was fast.

Requested withdraw on site, followed directions to request from dwolla website, received money 50 minutes later.  Not sure if they manually did it or what, but that beats the 4+ days on MtGox.

Edit: And I received a response to my email shortly afterwards.  Apparently they'd streamlined the process so you only need to type your Dwolla address in to receive the funds, not initiate a request through Dwolla.

I'm very excited by this as a direct competitor for MtGox.  Only having 1 viable option for Buy/Sell meant 1 head to the snake for those looking to shut this down to attack.

To OP.. Sorry for hijacking your thread.

I guess I'll find out soon enough.  Traded some BTC for USD on it.  Initiating withdraw to Dwolla.  I'll let you know.

So awesome!  Donation sent!

I look forward to future updates.  Would love graphs!  I don't even know what kind, but I love graphs!

Paypal and credit cards are too easily reversed.  TradeHill looks like it will quickly take much marketshare away from MtGox.  It is very slick looking, relatively easy to understand, and has a buy bitcoins button right on it so you don't have to worry about Ask/Bid price etc.

You can deposit funds with a direct bank transfer, Dwolla, or Liberty reserve.  Of course if you can find somebody local to buy from cash is still king.

Not running in to that issue at all.  Could just be an anomaly.

This is another random/strange suggestion.  First lower your core clock rate down to like 500MHz, then gradually bring memory down, then gradually bring core clock back up.

Drivers should not matter one bit, but you never really know.

Hmm... interesting.  I may have to dig out my LAMP server and give it a whirl.  I could at least point my least powerful rig at it for 24 hours to see what comes of it. 

My current way seems to be working just fine though.  I know as soon as I get it all setup, point my miners at it, and click go, something catastrophic will go wrong.

Sneak up on it.  Bring down your memory in small increments with Trixx.  Try 100MHz at a time.

One of my 5830s crashes instantly if I bring it from 1000 to 500, but if I go from 1000 to 900 to 800, etc it's fine.

I have no idea why though.  I do know that I get a HyperTransport error on boot after the crash though.  So it could be too much variance in expected rate through the pci-e slot.

What I meant was that you should not invest money in a risky venture you are not 100% willing to lose.  I have money in gold, silver, stocks, bonds, and now bitcoins.

The government could come out again tomorrow and declare gold illegal to own.  It's already happened once in US history.  A huge vein could be struck or alchemy could be proven to actually be real.  People could come to their senses and decide that gold is a shiny doodad with no real value and the price drop to almost nothing.

It could also be stolen from me.  I keep some reserves on hand.  You never know when the entire system will collapse, banks are overrun, and the government confiscates my deposit boxes.

I was just trying to explain that money invested should not be money you depend on for day to day living.  MagicalTux is making too much money off transaction fees to simply steal your money.  I'm sorry to say it, but we are small fish.  If he really wanted to steal he'd wait for some BIG time investors to get involved.

What we are seeing is simply a glitch that can mostly be blamed on Dwolla.  Obviously we are quick to point the finger at the one who last had our money, but all sides of the story need to be examined.

Edit: I do agree with you though.  This sucks royally, and having your money "lost" in a floating transaction is not fun.  But we can't say this is the first time in history money was held up by a third party.  I had my PayPal account frozen with over $8000 USD in it.  I lost access to this money for nearly 3 weeks.  Why?  Because somebody I had received money from for a sale I had made was using a stolen credit card.

After a recent string of bad luck at btcguild with a 3 million share block, and not wanting to switch and have the same bad luck back at slush's I decided to just try setting up 2 miners on all my cards.

To my surprise it worked fine.  I am getting the same total MHash/sec, but split roughly 50/50 between the 2 pools.  Now if 1 hits an extremely long block I won't have to worry about another 5 hours of "wasted" effort.

I'm surprised this isn't listed in a wiki somewhere, but it seems to make perfect sense.  Is there any downside I should be aware of?

Edit: I'm not really offline at Slush's like my sig says.  The sig generator seems to be acting funny.

At current hashrate it's 95% certainty a block should have been found within 2.5hrs.  But the time to hit 100% certainty is infinity.  It's possible, however highly unlikely, that a pool as large as BTCGuild could go 1 day without a block found.  Welcome to the world of probabilities.

I'm sticking it out.  The minute I switch there will be 10 2 minute blocks in a row.

Just a bad run of luck on long rounds.  The payouts on ALL reward based pools fluctuate.  There was a stretch not too long ago where 13 straight round times were well under an hour.  Now we are at an average of 2hrs for the last 10 blocks.

If you want a more consistent, but lower overall payout, then go to a PPS pool.

For me BTC Guild is still the best choice.  Lowest stale % by far, nice interface, pay me now button, ability to get paid on unconfirmed, and complete openness.

Dwolla recently changed completely changed the way funds are transferred in to it with the introduction of their Grid API.  Many transactions are backlogged.  It's not just you, everybody can not currently get funds from Mt Gox to Dwolla.  I wouldn't sweat it to much.  If you have money in bitcoins you can't afford to lose you are doing it wrong, but I expect this issue to be cleared up in a few days.
