Guys, (and gals) This was a LONE member. A regular person like you and me. And they sent me a SECOND identical email now, too. Looks like they couldn't confirm who got a notice/email, and whom didn't. I suspect they were cut off mid-stream by their email client / provider, and decided to "chunk" it out. If they hadn't have placed their referral code, I would not have complained. If it were me, I would have worded it like the following... "... no one exchange is infallible. I highly recommend diversifying. In case you haven't heard of them before, TradeHill.com is an excellent exchange, in my humble opinion. If you want to use my referral code (that gives you a 10% discount on fees) then I would be much obliged. My code is: TH-#####."

I'm so glad it was reduced from 50, apparently. I have a background in running forums, and 50 sounds like a ridiculous amount. I have also just noticed that the online time is "paused" when the browser window/tab is not in "focus." I need about 1.5 hrs to go before I can post where I want.

Other / Beginners & Help / Tradehill member SPAMS the emails in the MtGox dump

on: June 19, 2011, 11:22:01 PM

I just got an email, not 3 minutes ago, from a person that admits they got all the emails that were posted to the 'net, which came from Mt Gox's database dump. And then they provide a link to Tradehill using their referral code "TH-R15683." Is this genius, or crossing the line? Quote from A Bitcoin Supporter Bitcoin@unknown.com to <me> date Sun, Jun 19, 2011 at 6:14 PM subject Mt Gox has been hacked mailed-by bonecrusher.gulfsouthmedia.com Dear Sir or Madam, A few hours ago the Bitcoin trading website Mt Gox has been hacked. Malicious individuals have been able to obtain a database containing usernames, email address and encrypted passwords. This information has been posted publicly on the internet. As a Bitcoin supporter I'm now sending a message to every email address contained in the hacked database. This is to warn you that your username, email address and password have been leaked. I therefore strongly advice you to change your passwords. If you have used the same password on different websites it's highly recommended to change your password on all of your accounts! For a more secure alternative to Mt Gox, the community appears to be moving to TradeHill. So this is no reason to lose faith in Bitcoin itself. It must be seen as a warning that not every website can be trusted with your data however! Their link is http://www.tradehill.com/?r=TH-R15683 (Note: You can remove the Referral Code when registering if you want!) This is certainly not the only website where you can exchange Bitcoins, also check out http://www.thebitcoinlist.com/dp_bitcoin/bitcoin-exchange/

I heard TradeHill's referral codes use to give 30% discounts, now they are only 10%.

I'm David. I learned about bitcoins back in March while I was watching videos on TED. Somehow I got to a video of someone introducing BTC to a crowd, live. I was interested. I tried to buy $10 usd worth (it was at 90cents) but was leery of sending cash through the mail. Now I'm kicking myself in the assets. A tenner is not a big risk.

Now that mtgox closed their exchange, how can I tell if I got hacked? I have read people mention that they checked the "dump" and found their info in it with their email changed (or not changed). Where is this dump? EDIT: Google Mail just asked me to verify myself due to suspicious activity. I did use the same 9 char. password as my email on mtgox. I'm scared.

Economy / Trading Discussion / BTC, an alternative to Paypal?

on: March 15, 2011, 03:55:59 AM

Hi. I came to BTC as an alternative to paypal. I provide online services and get paid via paypal. My account got locked up, and I need a new way for customers to pay me. The question is, how can my customers and I use BTC for this purpose? I want to tell them something like: "Go here, buy some bitcoins with your currency; then send me the coins." And most importantly, I want to be able to take my coins, and convert them back into my own currency. (USD) Is there a way to do this? Thanks.
