I say that Dwolla is even worse than Paypal, becuase at least Paypal gives you some recourse and tries to figure out who is at fault when there's a problem.
Wrong.. When you get PayPalFucked, you get no recourse either.. They got me for over $5k.. and only after valid, written threats of legal action did they do anything.. I refuse to use Paypal again.. After reading this i'm thinking twice now about Dwolla..
But.. why can an exchange like CampBX use Dwolla for selling BTC, but not you or me?
Re: Is it a total scam? The "5 Bitcoin Independence Day Raffle !"
I hate to be a wet blanket, but ".5 btc bode rdeem@mtgox.com" looks like a description (of the key file?) ending in an email address, which, obviously will end in .com ... many Windows computers may confuse this to be an old "MS DOS" COM executable file..
if you forward the message/file to me I will take a look.. I'm on a Mac so I'm not worried about your silly virii & trojans.. (although i will still be careful

)Re: The general population is insanely ignorant about Bitcoin - and here's proof.
of course they are ignorant/don't understand/are frightened of it.. it's new, it's 'techy' and it's radically different from anything we've ever had before.. what did you expect?
I remember when I tried to explain to someone about P2P music sharing back in 1998 or so.. he said something like:
...every cassette tape you put into your tape-deck actually exists. You could trade that cassette with someone and for an 8-track, that you could then take to the music-store and exchange for a vinyl album if you wish. That p2p/digital music doesnt exist anywhere and could vanish instantly. It will never catch on...

probably go back to your Cave dwellings they are tons of information you couldn't bother to read.
Hey thanks for that very thoughtful and helpful tidbit of knowledge.. I have read through much here in the forum, and since I clearly have more of a social life than you, I don't understand it all (because I'm out having a life and such..). Thus, I came here to ask the helpful group for help and advice.. Others have risen to the occasion.. You have failed miserably.. But it was entertaining so for that, I thank you..
I'm just getting into BTC and mining, and figured I could plunk down a few hundred$$ of my hobby money on a ASIC (or other) hardware solution. I was all ready to throw all of my money at Butterfly Labs, but I dont really feel like waiting a year.. I'm also not to keen on what I'm reading about their quality of customer support..
So, what other all-in-one solutions are out there in the sub $500 range? And no, i am not interested in building my own PC based kludge..

I am new to Bitcoin so I feel uniquely qualified to add my 02uBTC.
Until the use of Bitcoin is as fast and easy as something like Paypal, it cannot catch on with 'regular' people. Right now it is just too confusing, difficult and slow.

Paypal! That gave me a good laugh.
If you login to your Paypal account through a VPN, you account is AUTOMATICALLY locked for 24 hours +. Every time.
Paypal doesn't have 2 factor authentication, and they can and do freeze your account at any time for arbitrary reasons.
Paypal isn't the standard of excellence, they serve as an example of how NOT to run a payment system.
My reference was "fast and easy as something like Paypal" - as in, fast and easy for grandma to setup and start using.. Read it again and you may notice that nobody said anything about a standard of exellence or how to run a payment system.. Not sure where you dreamt that up from.. But.. Yah..
Right now it is just too confusing, difficult and slow.
Can't agree with that - I pay for my VPS using Bitcoin - takes only seconds and is easier than any other way I've ever done a payment over the internet (and costs me no intermediate fees).
How long did it take you to figure out that you could do that?
How long/confusing was it to fund your wallet?
How much research did it take for you to find/configure your wallet?
How long would it take for you to explain all of this to grandma, and Suzy in accounting? And would they be able to have it all setup, and be buying things in 10 minutes.. Like with PayPal?

Alta Loma/Rancho
I've been trying to use this to receive a payment for a few days. I've recived a notice that I got my payment, but when I "ACCEPT" all i get is "Failed to accept idtip=xxxx because unauthorized accept"
