well i deposited 6 bitcoins into my bitcoinica account as well as got ONE free dollar from bitcoinica for openning an account. With bigger transaction fees and crap it will stop the massive sell/trade bots that plague Mt.Gox. Well I was wrong.. 2 days later i can't even get my money out or trade it for cash... proof is below... I tried mulitple times to get my bitcoins out or trade them for usd AT THE MARKET PRICE!http://s3.postimage.org/wwyjqiy0q/bitcoinica.pngOh btw I wasted 5 bucks trying to get it my damn money out, lol.. +1 USD to -4 USD! cmon WTF is wrong with this exchange? my 1 USD proof: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=44454.msg538049#msg538049If bitcoinica do me justice I might rename this to "Get my Money out B**&^%%$*! thread"

I think its not a problem with ff actually but the image url you posted does a redirect to HTML format so it isn't compatible with directly putting it in [img]

Maybe withdrawals have to be verified by an actual person? That still doesn't explain why you were apparently able to go into a negative balance, with just withdrawals, though.

Maybe it's only allowed because of the 6 bitcoins in there?
That'd make sense. The pic does show a "net worth" of $28. 6BTC x $5.50 per BTC - $5 in withdrawls = $28.

Am I reading this correctly?
You were trying to withdraw BTC by placing market orders?
Why didn't you go to the 'Withdraw' page?
Or am I missing something?

I don't understand it either. Anyway, hmongotaku, if you don't understand what bitcoinica is then don't use it. Bitcoinica is for users with background in Forex trading. It has advanced (and dangerous!) trading options. Besides, they are not an exchange per se. Bitcoinica trades at MtGox. If you want to run away from them, use CampBX or TradeHill.

I'm the founder of Bitcoinica.
The confusion is simple: Bitcoinica is not (yet) a place for you to change your Bitcoins to USD. It's a trading platform for investors and speculators to gain profits from the trade. Bitcoinica is a professional tool.
You can't go to a forex broker and change your dollar to euro because you want to travel.
Bitcoinica uses net accounting system, all the profits and losses will only affect your USD account, but you can use both currencies as margin to trade. You're not trading BTC at Bitcoinica, instead, you're trading BTCUSD, which is a contract based on the ratio of values of these two currencies.
Since your USD account is negative, you can't withdraw. But I have settled your account, by using part of your BTC balance to fill the gap in your USD. Now you can withdraw BTC to your wallet!
I'm sorry that Bitcoinica is not for you at this moment, but we're developing features for people who just want to exchange Bitcoins too.
Currently we have more than 800 registered users, and most of them like Bitcoinica very much. (Most likely because they know what they're doing.)
We will keep you updated.

I'd ask the OP or a mod to change the title, seeing as how it was a misunderstanding.

Actually I have done the code and testing for account settlement for a while. It seems that now it's a good time to introduce. Whenever you have a negative balance, Bitcoinica will display this message: And then you have the option of either settling with BTC or depositing more USD. The system will automatically handle the currency conversion process. Then you will be able to withdraw BTC. I hope this feature can help people who unfortunately made a loss.

But you need 2/3 of a btc to cover the -$4 So you might get 5.3 btc back.
