Never heard of it, just visited it for the first time and got a white page with the error message:
"There was an error while processing yor request.

I will look into this soon too and would love to see or else develop a WHMCS plugin that will support payments and invoices via Bitcoins. It will probably be a bit more tricky than a standard PayPal transaction/invoice but should be possible.

Just put in your wallet address in the search bar on blockexplorer.com

You will need to have your wallet connected to the internet in order to transfer funds to it. The safest way I can think of at the moment is to have a separate machine preferably running Linux and having a switch on it that allows your to give it Internet or not. I would turn on the switch when sending money to the wallet and than turn it off once the transfer is done.

Haha a great prediction but I don't think that will make a large enough impact on the Bitcoin. Serious miners will mine no matter what season it is, even if it's freaking 40 Celsius in their house due to the heat of the rigs they will still keep mining  . You could also make a prediction that the Bitcoin will go down in the summer because you could make your rigs run on solar energy costing you nothing . Not quite 40C in my house (~104F for my fellow non-metric Americans) though it IS that hot outside (I live in Las Vegas). Air conditioning plus two portable window-mounted AC units running at 100% 24/7 can keep my house at 74F/23C at night but during the day it sometimes hits 85F/30C. Not dangerous by any means but certainly uncomfortable. I long for winter. Same here, I live in the East Coast and it been around 80-100 :S (30-40). Been living in my basement . |

bbjansen,
I have explained in other threads that while MtGox has been breached, it wasn't due to lack of security on their site but from an auditor's infected machine.
Honestly, since now MtGox has been breached, they'd tighten their security even more and that's an extra reason for me to trust them & stick with them.
Still a fail on their part. They should be much more secure and use a safe machine that should only be used for auditing and not for playing video games, watching porn, downloading files and other daily shit. |

bbjansen,
You are not alone. This is why Bitcoin is in for an epic crash. There is no confidence in the market nor an acceptable medium for exchange. Prices will be wildly volatile as people will try to cash out while others try to cling on that BTC is only in for a minor correction (ie. buying opportunity).
Once they realize the inherent problems with the system are still broken, they will sell. Luckily for you, you're only a week in. Walk away now or trade the volatility if you feel like gambling. Someone will be holding the bag at the end of all of this, the goal is to make yourself not that guy.
I agree but I don't think trading Bitcoins is the same as gambling. With gambling you have zero, nada control over the outcome. When I was studying the Bitcoin trade and exchange patterns and looked at the past 60 days of trading I see a lot of patterns that occur in the normal stock market and exchanges for silver, gold, and money too. The Bitcoin is defiantly not any different to any other exchange market. The problem is trust. Nobody can trust the Bitcoin at the moment because it's still very young and has no stability what so ever. This is normal with any new currency although most new currencies get supported by their governments/country while the Bitcoin started from pure scratch and is now supported by a few ten thousands of people and no central organization aka a government or bank. You need to build up the trust and this has to be done by the Bitcoin community. At the moment it's epically failing *cough* Mt. Gox. |

No you can redirect people to different DNS's depending on their location. A professional website/team would be able to make a system like that within a few hours...

ahhh give them a break bro... They are trying. We learn from doing.
Are you kidding me? I see people say this so many times on this forum when the topic is about Mt. Gox's crash/hack. We can't give them a break because they are handle REAL MONEY. If this was some stupid game and the money was just virtual shit that isn't worth anything in the tangible world than yes I would agree no big deal; give them a break. But they are handling mass amounts of real USD. REAL MONEY. You can't give them a break. When you launch a business/website like Mt. Gox on the first day your website and security should be fucking perfect. Imagine someone starting a bank and keeps all your life saving. Someone hacks your account and all the customer bank information gets leaked. Would you say "give them a break bro..." FUCK NO. You would be insanely pissed, never use them again, and probably sue them. Mt. Gox is getting to easily away. |

I am quite confused on which Exchange to trust. As a new comer to Bitcoin (1 week now) I don't feel save with any of them. This includes Mt Gox, Trade Hill, 7Bitcoin, and Britcoin. I feel like for Bitcoin to succeed and to be trusted by the masses we need a team of professional programmers, designers, entrepreneurs, and business people to run a exchange. If I got into the Bitcoin a year ago or so I would surely have started my own exchange as I have quite a lot of experience with those above but I feel like it is a bit to late to jump into the exchange business unless another exchange such as Trade Hill or 7Bitcoin fails or gets hacked.

Looks like their claim site is being inundated. Server connection keeps resetting. Probably 1000 people submitting and resubmitting to get their claims in.  Why is it so hard for them to do this right. If you know your server(s) can't handle 1000-2000 form requests at a time than be creative and do it per continent or area. For example only allow people in North America to submit the first 3 hours, than people in Europe, than Asia, etc. I have seen many businesses do this before and I have done it before too when I had to enable a mass password reset on my website/online game which had 34000 accounts. |

That would actually be such a great and big step for the Bitcoin. It will be get a lot more attention and be trusted by many more people.

I am a web developer and designer and I hope to launch a Bitcoin company very soon in 1-2 months. I don't want to state it's name or what it will provide as I am currently registration the copyrights and domains for it and will soon also make my employees sign a non disclosure form. It would be nice if I can still apply for the developer/company perks without giving away to much information. -Bob  |

Bob here,
I am a web developer, mainly focus on PHP/jQuery/MySQL and a graphic designer. I been following and doing Bitcoin related research for the past week now and am very interested and excited by the projects philosophy. I hope to start trading soon once the whole Mt. Gox thing is cleaned up which by the way in my personal opinion is a disaster and an mega epic uber fail on their part. MD5/1 Salt on the passwords? What the fuck where they thinking, they handle thousands of dollars a day.
Anyways this seems like a great community and I hope to stay here for a while.
