I transferred in 40,000 XRP 6 says ago, more than half a bitcoin's worth. They left my Ripple account but never arrived on Cryptsy. I created a ticket and my ticket has been escalated to Tier 2 Support and then nothing. No updates, no explanation, nothing. Despite my pleas for an explanation and an update nothing has come out from them. Bloody useless.

'I want to link my Bitcointalk name with BTCJam's. Verification code: 0de9201d-501f-49b4-85af-7fc742a641b2'

I wish you had some videos on how to use some of the more esoteric features of your site.

I just checked and the Ripple turned up about 9.15 this morning.

I made a ripple deposit which has not shown up. Support ticket #14583

That address mined for about 2 months, not a week. See http://bitcoinrichlist.com/address/198aMn6ZYAczwrE5NvNTUMyJ5qkfy4g3Hi?charttype=balance It is possible that as he is trying to recall events from four years ago that he has simply forgotten how long he mined for and the exact number of coins. I think that's quite possible and so either this is him or perhaps he had something nearer 750 and not 7500 coins, and has misreported it, or of course he could just be a publicity seeker and the whole story is a hoax.

The polygraph doesn't work - http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Polygraph. How hard would it be to find the unspent coins on the blockchain?

Let's call two weeks. That would still mean he produced 7.44% of all the bitcoins produced in that time. That means that he would likely been  among the first dozen or so early adopters. Let's say that he was among the first 100 adopters. It's not impossible, but I do not find it credible.

I'm just trying to work this out ....

He's supposed to have had 7500 coins and he mined them in a week on his laptop back in 2009.  At one block every 10 minutes each generating 50 coins that's 300 coins an hour, 7200 coins a day and 50400 per week. 7500 of 50400 is 14.88%.  Now maybe I'm being dumb and I've made some stupid mistake but if I haven't it does not seem credible to me that he had about 15% of the hashing power mining bitcoins back in 2009.

I fill in the form leaving only Address line 2 blank and I get "Missing posted value county!".

I'm in Sussex 10 miles from Brighton. Would be interested in any meet-ups. I'm also a programmer, but a bit old-skool.

Add me please

Someone commented on http://howtogetbitcoinsuk.blogspot.co.uk/ (which incidentally seems mostly cut'n'pasted from WikiLeaksDude's blog) as follows:


So it looks like you're better off using Intersango than Bitstamp.

I thought that wasn't possible anymore?

So lets sat I start with £1000 in my UK bank account and I go through this process. How much of that £1000 will actually be spent on bitcoins and how much will be swallowed up by various middlemen and their fees?

I received a £100 Ukash voucher last week. I converted it to USD and then tried to deposit in cashu. The transaction failed and the voucher was marked invalid. I had to contact Ukash by email. They told me that cashu had stopped accepting ukash. I had to get them to deconvert the voucher back to GBP and I sold the voucher to someone directly for BTC. It took 2 days for Ukash to sort out the mess.

Still here in the newbies section.

UKash voucher exchanged for BTC thanks to user 'Promise'

Cheers.

I'm a proper Newbie. Struggling to buy BTC in the UK I thought I would buy via UKash/CashU/Nordic. By when I tried to deposit in CashU it failed. I sent an email to Ukash support and received a reply that said:

But there was no indication of this on either site and the process was apparently working (redirecting from CashU to Ukash) until deposit failed with no indication of why.

So I now have a £100 Ukash voucher that I would like to exchange for BTC. If 'Projects' is reading this could he please PM me?

Cheers.

Newbie doobie.
