Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.

Well talk about bad timing. Literally as the news flash hit, I sent a large amount of coin from one PC to another. The receiving PC runs 0.8 and the sending was much much older. The transaction seems to have worked, and the recipient PC is picking up confirmations, so I am hoping these transactions are all safe.

In fact, I usually don't upgrade my software until there are other versions out after the one I upgrade to, so that I can avoid any issues like this. So everyone just relax. |

The issue isn't with 0.8, it's with 0.7 and lower. Because people like you didn't upgrade, we had to endure this chain fork. |

Granted I'm mining, but just rolled back to 0.7.0 and can update to current block just fine. Seems to be no issue now hopefully.

Oh Loaded, who art up in Mt. Gox, hallowed be thy name! Thy dollars rain, thy will be done, on BTCUSD. Give us this day our daily 10% 30%, and forgive the bears, as we have bought their bitcoins. And lead us into quadruple digits

Revert to 0.7 and all ok
only miners. regular bitcoin clients are ok at 0.8? Yes, you are, just don't send or receive any coins until this is solved, and you're safe. |

I made a purchase yesterday through localbitcoins.com before this all went down. I had that transferred to one of my blockchain wallets. It has at this point over 70 confirmations - is this entire transaction safe? I'm very new to this and I think I picked abad day to buy my first BTC  |

is it safe to redeem private keys on gox?
GoxUSD, GoxBTC and any other Gox-currency is safe, BTC traded on Gox is not on the block-chain, only in Gox database, it's virtual BTC so to speak. The only time Gox touches the block chain is for deposits and withdrawals. So - yes it is safe. This exactly. I'm just kicking myself for not transferring more cash in to buy more.

It has at this point over 70 confirmations - is this entire transaction safe? I'm very new to this and I think I picked abad day to buy my first BTC Perfectly safe. +1. |

If all the pools, miners, merchants, and users upgraded, this would have been a non-issue. And that is true. But I am on 0.7.2, and like I said in my post, I refuse to upgrade software to 0.8 until something newer comes out, or unless my transactions will cease to work properly because I'm on 0.7.2. Trying to pin this on me is comical at best. There are hundreds of thousands of users who haven't even upgraded to 0.7.2, not to mention the ones who haven't upgraded to 0.8. So I am the least of your troubles. |

Remarkable! can we get a dumb down version, of what will happen to all the transactions that happened / happening during this bug? |
