Any news on this?

[pointbiz]

did a forum member create mybitcoin?
looks like a lot of effort went into the site for it just to be abandoned...

[drsaul]

I agree..  and just after i had learned to use the sci toolbox..   
I hope it comes back up and they start charging a small fee.

I just managed to get two bitcoins sent to my wallet at mybitcoin last night and I was expecting to check on them this morning. If the site never comes back up am I just SOL on those two coins lost in transaction?

If the site never comes back, then you've lost your coins.

"mybitcoin.com" is effectively the same as giving someone else your wallet.

Not a good idea. I also recommend against using services such as "dropbox" for storing wallets.

probably, yes. Transactions are net reversible. But you may try contact site owner directly, if possible.

Down for me.

I hope the site come back, mybitcoin its a newbie option tu use bitcoin, not the best, but the easy (SCI).

[fyrebryan]

same problem.  hopefully it will come back up, though if it doesn't i'm not going to cry.  i only had 1 btc there.
still in the process of deciding if i want to mine or not.

[pennytrader]

you should look up for transaction id.
