Back up the file (preferably before the computer erodes into a pile of dust) and start a script picking away at the file. Eventually (potentially in a couple of years, but by then BTC will only be worth more!!!) you'll get your coins back.

A lot? One at $148 no doubt, one at each of the $100 marks, and a monumentally sized one at the $1000 mark. 

When reading an article that calls something "the Harlem Shake" of pretty much anything, you instantly know youre being trolled.

Aurum Exchange wont give me coins for LR for whatever reason.
Gox is down.
Xchanger is out of BTC.

I have only $50, but it'd be nice to exchange that to BTC a the current BTC-E rates (normally I'd say gox, but as you know, it's down).

Anyone interested?

perhaps the best way of responding to this would be instead of inadvertantly DDOSing mtgox with a billion pageloads, focusing on getting this thread up to 1000 replies for lulz.

This is my favorite thread. I stay on it for hours looking at the huge HTML overflow of a page selector.

Just got an email from gox that my wire went through, even though their website is down  I guess thats perfect timing though, because now I can buy @ $110-ish.  I'm also honored that their support people decided to process my wire rather than work on getting their site back up, now I feel very important. 

Liberty Reserve. Thats what I did (a mite too early, I might add).

This is going to serve as a visual demonstration of how my software works from now on.

Lets hope not.

What needs to happen is somebody (preferably somebody large with money) to say "I'll buy bitcoins for $x.  Not any more than $x, I'm not gonna facilitate a bubble. But I'll buy them at $x." That would truly support the currency in the long term.  Also it could make that person a fair amount of money on every bubble as he is essentially always buying at the bottom.

Perhaps, but then it gets too complicated. If the price went up to $1000, I'd wait longer than a 30% decrease to buy it again, but if the price dropped from the current price down to $100, I'd buy as much as possible.

Basically, this poll applies during current market conditions.

Somebody, quickly, sell me you're bitcoins before the price goes down further!

[Reposting this from newbie section because this seems like a more appropriate place.]

You wake up tomorrow (or the day after, or the week after) and some people (it must be the government!) decided it'd be time to take profit and dump a ton of BTC on MTGOX. Ticker is back into the $110-ish range and falling. At what price do you decide to buy, and how much do you think you'd risk, or would you just run away as fast as you can?

Personally, I think $100 is a great level to buy at. I'm not saying that BTCs are only worth $100, I'm merely saying that $100 is a level I think that many people will be sad to sell below and is thus a major support for the price.

Yay, spooky stories!
Also google 'Liberty Reserve complaints' and read about how LR is 'stealing peoples money.'
Also google 'Egold complaints' and read about how E-Gold exists only to support ponzi schemes.
Also google 'Bitcoin complaints' and read about how Bitcoin was 'hacked' and how some transfers 'never confirm.'

You can find some person that feels like complaining about anything.
This is pre-bitcoin technology. You know, when there are people doing work, not computers, and where those people occasionally make mistakes, and where money takes time to transfer (time, as in days, not minutes). Just because they haven't adopted Bitcoin technology that will solve these problems yet doesn't make them 'evil' it just means that they haven't used Bitcoin yet.

You don't 'have to' rely on WU any more than you 'have to' rely on MTGOX. WU will (may) provide an easy way of exchanging to/from BTC, as well as potentially instantly-confirmed transactions using BTC. If you don't want to use it, then thats fine. I fail to see how WU getting involved is any different than, say, Microsoft implementing a new proprietary Bitcoin wallet in Windows Blue or any other corporation trying to make money off of bitcoin. They are corporations, they try to make money. Bitcoin is a good opportunity for them to do this. If you want to use their services, and pay for them, then thats fine. And if you don't, then I dont give a fuck TBH.

Oh my goodness, talk about a conspiracy theorist.

Its open source. When money randomly disappears, people will notice "hey, wtf, my money disappeared, maybe I aught to look at source." Then they will see the fact that it is a scam, and nobody will use the web-wallet or software any more.

Furthermore people are very slow when it comes to switching to new software (http://www.ie6countdown.com/). The bitcoin community being what it is, people would probably find a change like that in less than a few days. The scammy developers would thus lose much more than they gain.

The issue here is, obviously, that they CAN'T STEAL FROM SOMETHING THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO. How exactly are they going to go about stealing from your wallet that only you have the encryption key to, huh? About the only thing they could try is to get you to pass to them your key by modifying the JS upon login.

Laiki Bank is part of the EU.

How is it so hard to finish a wire. They say 1-3 days, in a few hours its gonna be 4, and they haven't given me my bank wire and BTC is climbing higher still. The effective exchange fee on that wire is something like 50% considering you factor in the rising rate of BTC. 

Treasuries are not in a bubble (tons being printed every day) but BTC is (strictly controlled quantity by math). Yea, that makes sense.
