As has been suggested, try contacting their support team and hope for a resolution. DO double check that the email address you are entering is correct. You never know sometimes, maybe you used a different address with them instead of what you use elsewhere.

Welcome back! Nothing much changed. Members still waiting for a rally to the moon, Many external (and internal) factors are still tryng to kill Bitcoin, Many arrests went down, Many hacks/scams/etc, Several new Bitcoin businesses popped up And since the begining of the year forum members have been at it with each other regarding the block size. Don't know if I forgot something, but I am sure some other member will fill then blank

He is right but obviously he did not think it through since when someone does a >50% attack then he would need to sell the illegally won bitcoins. Who will buy them fast enough to make the attack worth it?
Only other thing is to destroy bitcoin. That could be easily done by probably any secret agency. Hacking pools and big miners and do 51% attack. Bitcoin would be done.
The question is who would do this for what reason?
Snowden is ignorant of bitcoin. There are better ways to harm bitcoin than do a 51% attack and bitcoin has much more serious problems like scalability. It will take some time, but eventually he will transform his opinion as he is a tech savvy person. He is not that far from that... yes no need to destroy btc tis doing a fine job on its own Sad, but true....

Maybe we should do our own "stress test" of coinwallet.eu... Just sayin'.
I think that was the whole purpose of the OP Just sayin'

BitcoinXT is a promising alt.... It seems to be gaining popularity fast LOL!!!! Just kidding.... Well, though I have not invested in it, Monero seems to be doing quite well.

I'm heading to Copenhagen this weekend. Flight paid with bitcoins, hotel paid with bitcoins.
I saw on coinmap that there are several places where I will be able to use bitcoins including a Bitcoin ATM where I can get some local currency.
That's great that you can pay your holiday with Bitcoins. A few years ago we could only dream about that. In those days you was happy when you could buy a pizza with bitcoins. Good for him but I doubt that are so many ways to earn bitcoin in those amounts to do such big expenses. I don't know any business which produce or pay in bitcoin (except the owners of mining pools). So can he share some of their resources with us? Only for curiosity and if secret no name. Only the type of activity. Don't you know that Elwar converts his entire paycheck into bitcoins through Bitpay? It is a well known fact on this forum. Indeed, everyone knows that. Just the other day he posted a thread [1] on how to use your Bitcoins to purchase items/services from hundreds of places. [1] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1168853.0

He might have trouble getting donations or moving money. Bitcoin would be his solution then. I think at one point he will look into it more thoroughly. Maybe a bitcoiner already explained him that his fears are not really funded? I am pretty sure that he does not understand Bitcoin completely. His response on the matter was rather vague.

The script needs work (e.g mining 25-30 bitcoins a day - huh?), but it's funny.

Being one of the biggest wallet service providers, one would think they would have better methods than only Twitter to make these anouncements. If you have planned maintenance schedules, why not post it on Bitcoin forums for everyone to prepare? It reminds me about the days when you got to a closed door at a fiat bank... oh it's still like that. The only difference being that you not prompted by the ATM to say this service is termporarily down... you have to go to another service to find more information about it. There must be a way to notify people in advance? The forums here do the same when they are offline. I guess it's because they had no way of knowing they would be going offline or something.

If you are tech savvy then you can probably set this up yourself and avoid any fees. If not then your best bet is use a third party service like bitpay.

You can not simulate or test the social and economy impact of 8MB blocks in the test net, that's the key difficulty
No one can see the future of a complex decentralized social and economy system, the safest way is to make the change as small as possible, one small step at a time
I do like that idea, however that means we would have to hard fork on a regular basis. I do not think that this is practical or even possible without splitting Bitcoin, especially as more people become involved, it will become even more difficult to reach consensus. It would be better if we do not have to debate this again in a few years from now. This is a great example of something that makes perfect sense technically, which however might not be as practical or feasible from a political perspective. Not necessarily. If consensus is reached, a time/size limit can be imposed for every 2 years let's say then the blocksize can be increased gradually.

Just shooting a bullet into the air, but could it be that they are in some way affiliated to WU or MoneyGram ? https://www.coinwallet.eu/options and in doing this, they want to highlight the inefficiencies of Bitcoin for people to stay with WU and MoneyGram? It's a long shot, and I am just making a assumption based on their linked services. What else can they gain from dumping massive amounts of money into a bottomless money pit? These tests can become very expensive and I see no reason why people would just dump money into a fire?They have no other way to try and convince people that bigger blocks are needed NOW, which is false. So far they are not doing a good job, but hey, what are their options?

Personally I'm keeping as much as possible in cash, physical gold and of course bitcoin. Just wish I could accumulate all of those at a much faster rate, don't we all Same here, but I am not sure about the market crash. We have heard about that before but it didn't really happen. It's just a different date everytime this comes up.

Well, there was several films made about Wall Street and how they bailed out. Why not for Bitcoin too. It's not really the greatest promotion, but hey, what can we do?

The Okcoin allegations refer to the exchange using "inside information" (commitment of traders, concentration of stop orders/margin calls, etc) to trade against their own customers.
This. It's is the wild west of finance so you should assume if it can be done to make money it will be done. The exchanges have all the information about order placement so they can do whatever they want. True, however I believe it's illegal. But, without proof it's just accusations and nothing more.

Participate in Faucets and Signature Campaign to earn Bitcoin without investment.
^^^This. It doesn't matter how much or little you make at first. You have invested zero money and just a little of your time!

We Will Be Back Shortly Blockchain.info is currently down for maintenance. For status updates please see Twitter https://twitter.com/#!/blockchain. Apologies for any inconvenience. Yeah, it could be because of the stress test (if it started). I remember they had server problems when the previous stress test was running.

You mean something like thisblended with something like this?

is bitcoin going to survive the bitcoin stress test
Not quite sure what do u mean "survive" the stress test. A stress test cannot kill Bitcoin, therefor it will definitely survive. It can only slow down tx confirmation times, but there are still ways around that.

If he is talking about coinbase, then yes. The system there works like a bank and it would allow users to transfer coins instantly.
^^^That. He is obviously trying to promote coinbase, therefor explaining how things work through their service.
