Possibly part of the explanation for low Gemini volume, and even lower volume on the weekends, so far.

Gemini does seem to be slow as fuck to get deposits.

On 10/16 I sent a fiat deposit to Gemini and I sent one to Coinbase.  I received my Coinbase deposit on 10/22, and I just today received my Gemini deposit.  Actually I recall initiating the Gemini deposit process several hours before I initiated the Coinbase deposit.

They finished the vast majority of their buying well under the sub $10 range.

[NSA360]

I thought they bought at that range... ok... thanks

Anyway, i found this few moments ago, while i was searching to confirm that.

Just curiosity:

RUSSIAN FINANCE MINISTRY PROPOSES A 4-YR PRISON SENTENCE FOR BITCOIN USERS

I do wish they'd make up their bleedin' minds.

Russia is this years China  

Russia is a plutocracy, China is a dictatorship, and America is an oligarchy. None of them care enough about their future to do something about it with this amazing technology.

"I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, make straight the way of Satoshi."-- Sergey Panteleevich Mavrodi, Russian criminal financial visionary and a former deputy of the State Duma, founder of MMM Global Republic of Bitcoin pyramid scheme.

I don't know where you sending it from, but it's both pretty sad. If I send funds to Kraken, it's there the next day. And if I'm lucky, the same day.

Not true. They have said their average buy in is "around $100".

That's Americans for you. They put up with banking that's stuck somewhere around 1832. I think they still deliver cash by stagecoach too.

And that's why the US Dollar is world reserve currency, and GBP is ...didn't you guys have a some sort of an empire to exploit once? What happened with that?  When did everything begin to all go so wrong?
I remember you guys even had an auto industry, to use up all that natural rubber from the colonies no doubt -- cars with rubber douche bag suspensions and bikes with those clever isolastic frames that totally didn't handle like a worn-out shopping cart or ever leak oil, all equipped with excellent Lucas 'Prince of Darkness' electrics (which cleverly used natural rubber insulation)?

But you shorted so that means it will go up.

You are not the first person to find yourself in that situation, so someone made a thread explaining how to get your private key from the encrypted "wallet.aes.json" backup file emailed to you when you created your blockchain.info wallet.

Once you have your private key the guide explains how to import it into electrum, or multibit. However, the guide was written before multibit changed to multibit HD, so you should use the instructions explaining how to import your key into electrum.

This is the OP of the "how to" thread.

Blockchain.info Wallet is the most popular online wallet for Bitcoin. So when it is unexpectedly down for maintenance, plenty of users are caught off guard, unable to send Bitcoins for a payment or to exchanges.

Some advanced users would have exported the wallet or private keys in various format, and keep them in a safe place, ready to be imported into other Bitcoin clients. However, most users would just have the encrypted "wallet.aes.json" backup file emailed to them, and wouldn't know what to do with it.

This guide aims to help users to prepare themselves for a quick access to their Blockchain Wallet funds with "wallet.aes.json" backup if Blockchain.info is offline. I will try to improve this guide as it goes.
