I'm glad you got your coins. There's nothing worse than wondering if you got scammed.
I will say Mt. Gox is some healthy competition but the actual ease of his site makes its tempting as my main source
You should probably post that in your original thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=92561.0
Thanks for posting the link... now this is all cleared up
It might be interesting if you could store the blockchain and wallet.dat on a rewritable bluray disc instead of your hard drive. Then you could simply use bitcoin from any device that accepts bluray disks and bitcoin.
Exactly my thinking...
Hard Drives fail and burn out.. but if you keep a disc in a nice sleeve it will last forever.
That way it would also be alot easier to physically store your bitcoins.. rather than a decaying thumb drive; a stack of blurays!
Its my opinion that any online wallet or computer wallet is at a huge risk and you would only use those as a buffer between your bitcoin use and bitcoin storage
Forever until the first fire turns it into a Frisbee.

Im sure if you show this to your mom she will give you a cookie
I have no idea whether Bruce has scammed you or not.
However, I have shipped thousands of Priority packages, and that delivery confirmation shit is not as reliable as I would like. Sometimes stuff gets accidentally scanned prematurely and shows up as "delivered" 2-3 days before the person receives their package. It's not corrected by whomever screws up, I guess they figure if you really cared you'd have used UPS. So every month or two I get frantic people telling me "you must have sent it to the wrong address!!@# It shows delivered but it's definitely not here!" They usually get it within the next few days.
On the upside for USPS, I've never lost a package inside the US, which is pretty impressive. On the rare occasions people think their package was lost in transit it's almost always their fault - someone else checked the mail and stuck it in a corner, and they come back a week later and apologize.
Best of luck either way.
