Nah, sometimes withdraws takes a while. They may say it's "network congestion" or something... 3 hours isn't much, give it another 21 hours at least. Actually I'd wait 48 before contacting support. You could look for the transaction id in unconfirmed transactions, if it's there no need to worry. Another option, if you can't find the transaction is to search for it here. If you find it you can build the transaction yourself (convert from base64 to hex) and broadcast it into the network using tools such as https://coinb.in/send-raw-transaction.html - I recall reading about people doing that to speed up the transaction. I wrote a PHP script doing this job, you can use this: <?php
function hex2str( $hex ) {
return pack('H*', $hex);
}
function str2hex( $str ) {
return array_shift( unpack('H*', $str) );
}
if($_POST)
{
$txt = base64_decode(trim($_POST['tx']));
$hex = str2hex( $txt );
echo 'TX:<br/>';
echo '<input type="text" name="" value="'.$hex.'">';
echo '<hr>';
echo 'Send TX <a href="https://coinb.in/send-raw-transaction.html">here</a> or <a href="https://blockchain.info/pushtx">here</a>';
echo '<hr>';
}
?>
<form action="" method="post">
<textarea name="tx"></textarea>
<input type="submit" name="go" value="Create TX" />
</form>

Yes, if you want to avoid US law you need to:
- Not serve US customers (I recommend IP blocking)
- Require identification of users to ensure that they are not from the US and using proxy/vpn/tor to access your site (if your business is content provider with no login/members you're fucked)
- Host the site from servers outside of the US
- Do not use domains such as .com or any other US domain. Go with ccTLD, I believe .co.uk will be fine.
- Do not use payment processors or any other business located in the US. That includes gmail, paypal etc
- Host javascript/css such as jQuery & jQuery UI on your own server instead of using google api.
- Stay far away from CloudFlare, Amazon, ddos protection etc from the US
- Never travel to USA (obviously).
- Don't be an American (obviously)
If you do all this, I still believe you can be tried for extradition if you're in the wrong business, but at least then you have played all your cards right and have a good defense.

Btw, how's that cloud computing thing working out so far?  |

curious, did anyone here buy at under $1?
was looking at historic prices, it looks like you could have become a millionaire with an investment of $100 at one stage.
so annoying that I didn't even hear about bitcoin until the start of the year since I've been into computers for more than 30 years and often read slashdot etc.
I bought bitcoins at $0.49... but only about 40 dollar worth... the price doubled shortly after so I didn't dare to invest very much then thinking it would fall back down..... regret... so much regret |

I feel uneasy too... if they sell the bitcoins, that will put USD in the hands of the government instead of someone else. That is never a good thing. Imagine if they managed to confiscate the entire 600k and sold it? that would drive a massive amount of USD away from bitcoin and into the US government. There is no way this can be a positive outcome.
The best thing that can happen would be if they destroyed the coins, that will make all our coins more valuable.

if not, those 5 percent of all coins will be forever lost. What is to prevent him from say, telling a vistor the private key? |

That he was an an-cap? Well, so is probably 20% of the community here. That also includes Jeffery Tucker, Roger Ver, Jeff Berwick, Stefan Molyneux, and quite a few others. Maybe Mike Hearn can publicly debate them sometime, if he's got something more than insults to bring to the table. +1 It's really disappointing to see such pathetic outbursts of authoritarianism coming from Mike Hearn. He lost all respect I had for him today. Don't get me wrong. I'm glad he did, now we know his true colors. |

I sold most of the coins I had on mtgox at $138, but still hold the vast majority of my coins, since they are in offline wallets and I can't sell them. Big question now is where to place the buy order...

The problem with running a black market is that anything you write will be analyzed. Any specific writing pattern you have could be matched. Say you often spell a word wrong or use a specific phrase. Those will be searched and if they find a match on the clearnet you can easily be identified. Now there is no secret that hidden services on Tor are not anonymous [source], but he could still have been anonymous if he paid for the server anonymously etc. It will be interested to see if any information on how he got caught will come out. It's a sad day for bitcoin. He is unfortunate to be a US citizen. He may never be released from prison after this. And what will happen to all the bitcoins hold by people on silk road? |
