Known issue.

Their bitcoind is choking or they ran out of hot pocket coins.

Thanks for the reply, but what does this mean? How long would it normally take to get them? Is it worth trying to take more out?

Pass the salt this popcorn is delicious.  Can't wait to find till we hit bottom and level off to buy back in.  It's getting boring watching all this sad speculation instead of making money.

You won't get a chance with this lag...

Obviously BTC is a threat to big government and big banks, so they can't just sit idle and watch.

Obviously.

I think that gox will not restart trading at 02:00 UTC.  Cool

I think they may try, but the rush will screw it again.

Cut their losses is what a lot of people need to do.

okay, the price is $181 so, people should feel comfortable at $150 by tomorrow, and $200 by the weekend, with $20 swings as people think they are smart and cash out into the hands of the investment bankers that just tested the currency to see if it holds water.

they pumped, dumped, and are now standing aside and watching, eagerly waiting to buy all your coins for anything below $174 each. they just want to see the bottom and determine if the confidence remains before they rebuy.    if you can wait until next week, i believe this will become obvious.


How d'you figure that? You may be right. But all this is, is a ponzi scheme. And don't get me wrong, I profited from it. But I still feel bad for the believers whose chances of actually turning this into a legitimate currency have been all but been ruined.

There is no circulation of BTC. A currency is valued on consumer confidence in that market, growth in that market, growth=cash earned and cash spent. This doesn't exist in bitcoin. No one is spending them (proportionally to their market cap). It's a joke. If you don't ahve circulation of currency, it's not a currency, it's just a hyped up dream that people stick their money into but will never some to fruition.

It will drop, and hopefully grow back organically. If people do start USING and not just KEEPING them, then BTC will become legitimate. But will they?

The thing most of you are ignoring is the fact that back in January 90% of bitcoins were bring held by speculators. Speculators that believed more gambling operators and websites would start accepting the currency and turn it into a legitimate currency for online transactions. The other 10% spent it on (mostly) illegal gambling and drugs.

Come March 98% of those holding bit coins are purely speculating, and only those from back in January and prior actually believe in the currency. Most of those that "joined" bitcoin since January did so purely to make a profit, without believing, or caring, whether the currency was viable or not. These are the people selling now.

Bitcoin will drop to $20 and will rise back up to $40-$50 based on some of the "unbelievers" becoming converts and the rest suffering from "under performing stock syndrome".

Hopefully, when/if (and I say if because this crash has damaged credibility in a big way), bitcoins get accepted by some major gambling operators along with other online sites, then the currency will again grow organically. but don't hold your breath.

It is showing on blockhain.info - so why oh why is it not on Bitcoin-QT?

Should I start using a different Bitcoin client? Any recommendations?

Have tried rescan, but transaction is still not showing. This was a withdrawal from my MTGox account over an hour ago. Normally transactions are spotted almost instantly.

Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance.
