Wahhhh I payed a tenth of a penny!!!
Actually 10x that, a whole penny at current exchange rate of $9/BTC.
this guy called "magicalTux" on this thing called "irc" can fix your problem in like 10 minutes i hear.
Can and will are two totally different things. Gox seems to be taking on too much new stuff w/o proper staffing and procedures to cover things. As a new bitcoin miner and user my last experience with things taking about 2 weeks to get me my money on Gox have soured me to that exchange. I moved everything over to Tradehill and will proceed from there, no interest in going back at this point.
There's no technical reason for Mt. Gox to lock the second profile. If they left it open then you could use it for whatever you wanted, static password, Challenge-Response, a Yubico OTP, whatever but nope, they decided to lock it in to Mt. Gox only. I suppose an argument could be made that it makes it so that if you hold the button down past the first profile's time it'll activate the second and still get you in but that's about it. Hopefully they'll just give out the key soon so people can take advantage of the other profile, especially since they're paying a premium for a pre-configured one. (Ya I know, labor to configure/ship etc them)
Yes, I have seen some of the 3D images. I sent a PM to TraderTimm asking him about his model. I think what I really need is a much more simple model than what he has created though. The model I need is for a 3D printing project, and I was envisioning a very simple coin with the Bitcoin B on both sides and not too much else. I posted a 2BTC bounty for it, for what it's worth if anyone is willing to dabble. That thread is here:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=36069.msg444840#msg444840.
You'll probably get it now, along with it rotating and whistling Dixie. I just thought of something. How can you see both sides of the same coin at the same time? You can't do that with a real coin. I just tried it.
With a mirror?
Negative side, it's bound to Mt. Gox so you can't use it as a normal YK on any other site.
Did you try it on http://demo.yubico.com/php-yubico/one_factor.php ?
It is pitty if the key cannot be used outside MtGox (yes, I've read their EULA
AFAIK yubikey has 2 slots for secret key, they can be switched by long tap. I wonder why they removed Yubiko key instead of using the second slot. If they would leave Yubico's secret key then the key could be used on other sites for authentication...I was under the impression that MtGox used both keys.
Download the personalization tool and take a peek at it:

I have two Yubikeys on the way for password database use (ie: Passpack.com, Lastpass.com, 1Password, etc) and have been reading up on them. Going to try to get the wife to use one... *crosses fingers*
Re: Mt.Gox / exchanges should confirm bigger transactions by phone/SMS
this way the user has some time to discover the "hack" and contact us.
Just make sure your support response times are fast enough to support those cases otherwise the delay is useless.
Earlier this week I did a stupid thing sending funds to Dwolla...I copied the wrong account number and used that to send to. It wasn't a HUGE amount of money and the account I sent it to was actually DwollaX, their promo account that sends you $1 to try out Dwolla so I thought it would be a simple thing to get it back but it's now been a couple days and the only thing I get back from their 'support' is "We're working on it, and haven't been given an ETA". I keep asking for some form of ETA on when it should be resolved and they keep saying they weren't GIVEN one...well, you'd think they could ASK.. Just feels like I'm getting the run-around...
Anyone else have experience disputing a transfer and know how long it took to be resolved?

12 character limitation on passwords?!!? I think my library has better password abilities... Do you have any form of one time password abilities for 2 factor authentication?
I use password management, most of my passwords are 30-60+ characters of random crap. And as for how I manage that on my phone, I have my encrypted password database on there so it's just a passphrase away from being entered.

Seriously, when asked
Could you give us as much info as possible on all your security measures?
andWe had it audited by a bank auditing company. It exceeds banking compliance standards.
you can't do better thanEverything is encrypted with high grade encryption, salted.. etc etc.. Comodo "green bar" SSL, firewalled...
andoh Trust me...

BTW: PCI Compliance is a complete crock of dog poop. There is no standard testing procedure and the tests performed are often outdated and crazy picky about some things while compeltely ignoring other important things. It's all a sham to make money and worse than TSA's security theater at the airport. Website disappears with a 404 error because they deleted the page?? Not confidence inspiring.
I may even have re-used the pw

or that my very simple pw was guessed somehow

Seriously - once you start you'll never understand why it took you so long.
One new completely random password for each site. Always.
(And just to pre-empt some common responses from those who don't verify what the site is about - no - your passwords are never transmitted to nor stored with LastPass)
And if you don't trust the way that Lastpass works:

and
http://agilebits.com/products/1Password
Are two of my favorite password database apps. 1Password is nice because it's very cross-platform between Mac, PC and iPhone etc...
This is an example of a password I might use:

Randomize your passwords and make them long. Use a password manager and keep the password database on a flash drive. True, if they get the database or log your passwords you're screwed but you're pretty much screwed at that point anyhow and this will cover the most obvious attacks, bruteforcing the encrypted password database.
I cringe when I see some of the passwords people use and how often they use them on other sites! BAD BAD BAD! NEVER EVER EVER EVER >>EVER<< use a password on two sites, and your E-Mail password should be the ultimate utmost strong password and protected like a 500 lb block of platinum. Think about it, when you forget a password what do most sites do? E-Mail it back to you or send you a link to change it. If someone gets that E-Mail password they can have a field day getting into your other accounts.

+1 for changing this.
As the value of BitCoins goes up this idea of "bitdust" is just robbery. The transaction has to balance it's own books to the parties involved regardless of current value. The fact they arbitrarily decide to do this gives me less confidence in BitCoins and the people making these decisions.

If I tried to explain how all the fees worked in this thing to a newcomer they would look at me and yell scam!
The client should clearly present exactly all fees with details as to why they are being charged. Not doing this is simply unacceptable!
