This is an absolutely terrible way for Bitcoin to break out. I was at least hoping firstly we were going to see articles about the positives of Bitcoin before we started seeing about the illegal stuff. Everything we've been working on for months has been to protect Bitcoin from attack. Things like this are frightening if this is a prophecy of future news reporting on Bitcoin.
Please be only a one time thing.

Pasting my message from here. ----------------- I got SoS to accept Bitcoin, http://www.symphonyofscience.com/ If you haven't listened to this music then do so- it will cause you to appreciate science so much. I've been playing it near everyday since the last year XD Man so happy they accept Bitcoins. Donate to them. Their work is absolutely incredible. It's because of SoS that my sister is studying astrophysics.

Do you accept donations? Maybe even donations in Bitcoin? Sure 1G7fayKPwtbQ2JJgBE8QWWjnif3foiYN49 That'd be most welcome since I only have 100 BC (I'm a bad hoarder).

Hey,
Just wanted to say that the above was very helpful for getting me to visualise a user on the site. Thank you.

For people who enter their details wrong: don't do it. It causes me a massive headache when balancing the sheets. In any case, usually the bank pretends they processed the payment then my sister gets a letter in the mail 1 week later saying it was rejected and the funds re-appear in my bank account. I then have to manually trawl backwards through email/records to see whose it was and add the funds back to their account. So it will take a while.
Also, can people stop spamming my email with silly questions? It's common that I get emails from people along the lines of "I just deposited GBP. Where are my Bitcoins?". Silly email = swamp my inbox = important mails from people with real issues get missed.

Hey,
When explaining to people about bitcoin, do yourself a favour by talking about bitcoins being introduced through the process of verifying transactions. The verifiers gain a reward for securing the network against attack.
People understand faster than when I use the ill fated gold mining analogy. Verifying more accurately conveys the nature of confirmations. Mining has the negative connotation of being a way for people to get free (gratis) money.

Here are the majority of reasons why people's deposits don't go through and I have to do them manually:
- You misspell your deposit code. - Your bank fubars the reference field adding junk or dropping it entirely. - You try a deposit on the weekend when banks are closed.
For withdrawals it happens that often people forget or mistype their sort code. Even then, withdrawals take a few days.
Anyway I run the service so people can get GBP in the UK and it's tireless work. If you want, then the source code is open for you to setup your own exchange. Sometimes it's hard to respond because I get upwards of 20+ emails a day.

Don't forget that banks don't process payments at weekends

Hey, Help me out by buying a bus ticket for me on eurolines.nl (they accept VISA) and I'll send BC with a small bonus. Tickets are 138 EUR or $196. From MtGox last price that's 196/6.36 = 30.82 BC. I'll give 31.25 BC. First come first served.

Yeah google changes the OpenID string depending on which method you use to login (say youtube vs gmail) eventhough they're linked. That's why I recommend MyOpenID.
