In order to get the maximum amount of activity points possible, you just need to post once per day on average. Skipping days is OK as long as you maintain the average.

When I copy and paste the address from you post it has a space (or other invalid character in it) 1G5apmPvo2iTtmkNWAHTCET7 Y842Ufijs8 1G5apmPvo2iTtmkNWAHTCET7Y842Ufijs8 is valid.

Maybe Gox is striping the character. If I double click to select the address in myself's post only part of the address is selected e.g. But If I double click the address in your sig the whole address is selected. Somewhere along the lines an invalid character got inserted.

Somewhere along the lines an invalid character got inserted. This solved the issue for me. I was able to send coins using the address you removed the illegal char from. Thanks!

I have seen this happen if you post an address on Facebook. Facebook inserts a non-printing character in words above a certain length so browsers break them rather than widen columns. That non-printing character can be copied and pasted and will make a perfectly normal-looking address get rejected.
The most sensible remedy is for input dialogs expecting a Bitcoin address to strip these out.
Short of that, just retype the address by hand without copy and paste.

Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

If you look at the html source (use 'view'->'source' in Explorer) of your post you will see: 1G5apmPvo2iTtmkNWAHTCET7 ​Y842Ufijs8 Where you pasted your address. The '​' is not a printable ASCII character. Your browser chose to show nothing in that place. But if you copy that string those invalid characters are there. Sam

Input validation for the win. No seriously a good idea. One I will tuck away (and likely forget until something stops working. ).

short term workaround; copy paste the address to notepad and from notepad to wherever you want. That will also remove nonprintable characters. I use it often to copy paste HTML tables to OO Calc and get rid of the HTML markup.
