and what kind of reputation I have. Are you on the #bitcoin-otc Web of Trust (WoT)?

Yet it proves my deposit address was funded over three days ago and yet they still haven't credited my account. The website clearly states three block confirmations until your balance is available.
Then please use the proper description. If your account history doesn't show a BTC deposit then that's a different problem than what you had originally reported (as a "hacked" account would require the deposit to first be credited to your account before it could be withdrawn). Either way, the solution will come from contacting BITSTAMP support.

Unfortunately for me I am in the middle of no where
A priority mail envelope costs somewhere in the range of $5. Find a trusted trader willing to trade with you, for cash, and send the money via USPS. The #Bitcoin-otc Web of Trust (WoT) can be used to get the trust history of some traders who will do this. I have also seen individuals on the forum offering to do this type of exchange. Casascius is one. Also: Well, now I'm set up to find money in my mailbox (or rather, have it given to me by the postal carrier).

Excellent although it's very sad to see so many religious fanatics polluting the comments. Actually the tone from them was less hostile than previous mentions of Bitcoin there. At least that's what it seemed from my glancing over.

I registered on Bitstamp.net end deposited 130 $. The problem is when I'm filling the gap (simple order) and writing 130 $ it shows appr. 0.1 bitcoins. As the rate exchange is about 30 $ for 1 BTC it should give about 4 Bitcoins. I don't know what the matter is. Anyone can help me?
I'm not sure what you are saying, but BitSTAMP is a market exchange. Without knowing your knowledge of how market exchanges work, forgive me if you are already aware of this. To buy 4 BTC immediately on a market exchange you need to enter the order (bid) with a price not necessarily at the lowest ask price but at a price high enough that all 4 BTC you want to buy are listed at. For instance, if the order book (ASK) looks like: QTY AMOUNT 0.5 $31.00 1.0 $31.50 2.0 $32.00 2.0 $33.00 2.0 $34.00 then to get 4.0 BTC immediately you need to enter the order as 4.0 BTC with a price (bid) of at least $33.00. If you were to place an order for 4.0 BTC at a lesser amount, like $31, the order would only get "filled" with 0.5 BTC -- as only 0.5 BTC are available for sale at that price. If you leave the partially filled order there, eventually it might get filled if other sellers place sell orders at that level.

is it possible to undo a transaction as long as it does not have any confirmations? if yes, how?
You can't "undo" but you can create a competing transaction and try to get that mined first. Most nodes will not relay a double spend so you'ld need to somehow get the transaction sent directly to a miner who would include that double spend instead of the original transaction. But even then it becomes a race. If the transaction has a good chance of being mined in the next couple of blocks your miner partner would need tens of TH/s of mining capacity to have a 50% chance or more of being able to mine the double spend. That gets very expensive to do. :-)

Id like to sell BTC and receive WU. Does anybody know of any genuine sites offering this service?

As you all guessed, I'm not using two-factor authentication / yubikey.
Did you mean to say you weren't or that you still aren't? Because unless you can say with certainty that you aren't using a machine that has been compromised, then even after changing your password your remaining coins are no safer now than before. Get 2FA. If you don't have a smartphone or other second device that can run it then move the funds to an EWallet that uses SMS-based 2FA.

Let me guess, you didn't use two-factor authentication?
This happens A LOT,
It sure does ... MtGox account got cleared out - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=85533.0All BTC disappeared from my Mt.

The transaction I tried to send (ea0491518bb8c52f1ba514a67d5c67db0ed8ab70b78b2a19d1e1de5c9edc95c8 to address
I don't see that transaction on Blockchain.info so either the transaction is an invalid transaction or it simply hasn't been broadcast yet. The client doesn't give an easy way to tell which of those two it is, but if you leave the client running for about a half hour or so it will re-broadcast any transactions made that haven't yet gotten a confirmation. Of course, if your blockchain hasn't synced then the balance shown won't necessarily be correct. It is pretty difficult to create an invalid transaction yourself [Edit: with the Bitcoin-Qt client] unless maybe you are running the client in two separate places and spend from both without the blockchain having gotten synced first.

The bitcoins held by BITSTAMP are in a hosted (shared) EWallet right? So you can't look at the blockchain to check your BITSTAMP account balance. With a hosted (shared) EWallet, that Bitcoin address is tied to your account so the wallet provider knows of your bitcoin deposits. But what happens from there at the blockchain level is no longer tied to your account.

Are there any margin trading platforms for bitcoin that are still operating? I've heard about the Bitcoinica hack, but are there still margin trading sites operating today? (that hopefully has better security measures!)
On ICBit.se are BTC/USD futures contracts, with up to about 10X margin. On MPOE are CALL and PUT options contracts, which give leverage and buying on margin can be requested. A service called BitFinex is derived from Bitcoinica source code. 1Broker provides leverage. - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade#Financial[Edit: Don't discount the counterparty risk however. Do your research.]

This is something that I am asking to hopefully save some time in unnecessary research and development. I think BitCoin does offer a mechanism to make it so that more than one signature is required to transfer BTC from an account? Please advise if you're aware of such a solution, or the merits/uses of such.

now when I reinstalled bitcoin (on the same computer) my wallet is actually a different address. Just to clarify, with the Bitcoin.org client you don't have "an address", you have a wallet that contains many addresses. Each time you click Receive money a new address is generated. So just seeing a new address doesn't mean anything Also, installing the client again doesn't overwrite or replace an existing wallet.dat The wallet.dat contains the private key for each address in the wallet. Without those private keys, you can't spend the funds. I do not have a backup (or the one I had apparently has no coins), You can click on the Transactions tab to see all activity that occurred. If it shows no activity at all, then for whatever reason it is currently an empty wallet. Also, until the blockchain sync has completed, your balance shown by the client may not show properly.

If you prefer to get your bitcoin with cash, I think BitFloor allows you to make cash deposits at any Bank of America branch.
And BitMe.com allows cash deposits to be made at any Chase bank branch: - http://www.BitMe.com
