Everyone who's hitting these issues, what does your history look like? Is there any indication as to when your money vanishes?

If there is something that will make Bitcoin succeed, it is growth of utility - greater quantity and variety of goods and services offered for BTC. If there is something that will make Bitcoin fail, it is the prevalence of users convinced that BTC is a magic box that will turn them into millionaires, and of the con-artists who have followed them here to devour them.

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

for me, there's a btc withdrawal on btc-e, blockchain shows the transaction at 35 confirmations, but no corresponding credit to the gox account. it would have hit around the time mtgox was down (for the second time, about an hour after resuming trades). anyone have insight on this? it was a relatively small amount but it does make me realize the level of trust we're placing in a company against whom we have no legal recourse.

I placed a couple of orders while it was lagging last night, they appeared straight away in the web interface but when refreshing it tries to fetch your current orders again and it took forever, like they didn't exist.

New orders are immediately queued in a FIFO queue -- which is a very cheap operation.
They are then taken out of this queue, and matched in the orderbook.
When this queue is very long, there is a considerable delay between submitting your order and, that order getting matched, so it can appear that (for example) the market price is well bid at $150 , you submit a 'sell at $130$ order, and then you see the market trade at $100, your order not executed.
Gox need to indicate WHEN there is a fast-market , and ideally estimate and publish the lag.
