Hi!

Q1: When people talk of encrypting the wallet.dat file, they mean encrypting the backup copy and not the original that bitcoin is using, don't they?
Q2: Is it possible to encrypt the wallet.dat which is currently in the bitcoin folder? Would bitcoin still work in that case?
Q3: Is it possible to encrypt the entire bitcoin folder? Would bitcoin still work?

Thanks in advance.

Mine was requested online at the bank on Monday, left account Tuesday, arrived in MT Gox account on Sunday at 3am. So 3 business days, 5 actual days. Note: this was a SEPA transfer in EUR, originating from the UK.

I can't seem to find this mentioned on this forum? Lots on how long it takes for funds to get to mtgox, but nothing on how long it takes for a buy command to show up in My open orders, or be completed.

I did see a forum post dated today at 11am http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=15721.0 mention that a bug in mysql was causing the whole trading system to lock up. Is that what is causing the problem?

ALSO: What happens if you try and buy as many Bitcoins as possible, but forget to allow for the 0.65% trade cost? Will mtgox simply try and buy as many as you have money for?

Glad to know I'm not the only one in this boat! I had thought I had made a mistake! (phew!)

Yeah, that "X" now appears at the end of the message that Mt Gox wants you to put, and it wasn't there on the Mt. Gox site when I actioned the transfer from the bank.

I sure hope the funds go through - the money left the account on Tuesday 7th June! It was in EUR for SEPA transfer

Note: Is there a Mt Gox support forum? All I know is the info@mtgox.com and the aml one for USD.

EDIT: (12/06/11): Yay! Me money is in!! Now to attempt to buy bitcoins.....
