on what exchange? btc "value" is all over the charts, especially last year.

if that's how you determine basis, well just tumble your coins by sending them to your own addresses every few days to keep the "basis" jumping about with the markets.

what's going to happen is the IRS is going to try and say everyone's basis is 0 unless you can prove you paid X for whatever which is almost impossible.

that would be why you enable 2 factor or yubikey....

and not use guessable passwords, and disable java/javascript on websites by default.

The writing has been on the wall for months. Idiots who loose their shirt because they left it there out of greed for a fake higher price deserve it.

Move to a better exchange that isn't powered by a drunken hamster.

Yeah, you are going tog get raided by thew cops for growing pot, or something soon, lol.

If someone can afford to drop >$10K+ on hardware, they can drop $200-$500 to drop a new power outlet in and have it wired professionally, or co-locate their equipment.

Everyone but the guys selling the machines are getting hosed now. The low hanging fruit was the first 4 months of last year and the end of the gpu game. ASIC has disrupted everything and tipped the scales in favor of the big boys, old money BTC hoarders and corporate mining and speculators day trading and manipulating the market.

If you aren't in neck deep now and have a few TH and/or have at least several hundred BTC, the mining game is over. Spend your money buying bitcoin on bad news days when it dips and hold.

Go for it, just expect them to close your account give you a pittance and a NDA and forbid you from ever doing business with them again.

/sued paypal many years ago and won.

All of mine showed up. Couple days late but fine, still cost me $$. This month, the delays have been horrible and when the price is so volatile that it jumps 10-20% per day the losses are not cool.

I'm sure this is just growing pains and such, but still they need to get their act together. It was awesome a couple of months ago. I'm sure they are swamped. But they also need to provide the service they say they will, on the dates they commit to and to respond to support emails within a reasonable period of time. Having to rant, PM, or hunt someone down on IRC to get answers is not exactly something that's ready for the public or even the average bitcoiner.

That said, they are still light years better than mtgox.

Coinbase has been having problems since the end of october. I have yet another transaction MIA.

Wonder if they know that by putting a time definite date on transactions and then missing that date that they fall under contract tort and securities laws? It opens them up for consequential damages and breach of contract as well as mail fraud and a whole slew of things.

They are playing with fire and I'm considering pouring some legal gasoline on them.

This might be a decent excuse had you posted last week; or had your support staff not outright lied to everyone for past 4 days.But still, no one has still received their money or a reply.

I am going on a week + now with nothing but lies and sorry messages.

Same thing here, I also noticed that ALL my prior transactions now have a date of Oct 31st, under details. I'm assuming they had a major DB fuckup.

Batch 2 did not ROI unless you were one of the very lucky few who got them early

Have the same issue. Sold coins Oct 29th and payment went into a black hole.

Transaction shows as complete

Case #: 39660

Talked to Rees and Lianj, Both say it should have been pushed through Nov 1, Friday, but still nothing on my end.

Every other sell I've done has hit overnight so I've no idea whats going on now.

I'm still missing funds from bitcoins I sold several days ago. Never had a problem before. Put in a support ticket, still got nothing.

so if they post that now all transaction have a 50 btc fee and post it and 1 minute later enforce it against you, you are ok with that?

Volume today was me moving/combining my mined coins into usable addresses. I'm pretty sure I killed the blockchain for 2 days straight. I literally had to use 1/2 million transactions to not be over the size limit for every single one. crazy. Also someone made out on fees.

LTC on gox, because using BTC there now is an epic fail....

I wouldn't trust them with a dirty sock.

I have a HUGE amount of I0coins. who wants them?

Nice to see iocoin back.  I had pretty much given it up for dead.

How do you prove ownership of a bitcoin account number? ( insert wharrblgarbl about private key here )

It's not a tangible thing. There's no door to open, no physical goods to steal. It's intangible.

If you have the private key, you own the coins.
