Bitcoin isnt opening - is my wallet corrupt? [GOT IT FIXED!!]
I get this error when I try to open bitcoin:

I am using Win 7 64bit with an encrypted wallet and Bitcoin v0.6.2-beta.
To fix it, I tried running bitcoin after moving all files (except wallet.dat) out of the Bitcoin AppData directory. It didnt work.
Then I tried installing bitcoin on a second computer, redownloading the entire blockchain on that computer, and then copying my "wallet.dat" file to the Bitcoin AppData directory. This didnt work either. I got this error.
Lastly I tried running bitcoin with "-detachdb", but that also didnt work.
Is there anything else I can do?

Since this isn't re-opening is there any way that the details of the "attack" could be partially revealed ? As to what went wrong? Maybe help out others who are developing 
The site may possibly re-open. Two people have offered to take over.The hacker used an sql injection to gain access to the database. All the passwords were hashed with salt so they are harder to crack, but not impossible.
Maybe you stole more than just 4, I just find it weird how it will never open up again. It was a great website, if you check the messages between the buyer and I. He was about to release the bitcoins to me, but couldn't find it. So could you please release them now?
I contacted him. Once he confirms it, I will send you the bitcoins. I can see the messages but I just want to be sure.Does anyone have any further info? Seems strange that they will 'not be returning'.
I'm extremely pissed off.
1) Administrator isn't responding
2) I had 4 BTC worth of sales (Roughly $65)
I have a feeling this may have been a scam.
What? Why would I create a website just to steal 4 bitcoins from you? I told you I would contact the buyer less than 5 hours ago. At most, two payments were intercepted by the hacker, but neither of those were from items you sold.1) Administrator isn't responding

Site was hacked and will not be returning online.

jakea1011 - problem solved 
I sold something and mailed it off a week ago... ...I just hope the buyer (who should have received it by now) goes to the site and marks it as having been received... ...otherwise I'm out my merchandise and out my bitcoin payment.
(I didn't bother sending it with tracking because that would have ended up costing more for shipping than the item itself.)
You can contact the buyer and ask him to leave feedback. If he doesn't respond or leave feedback in 3 days, I will send you the payment.(I didn't bother sending it with tracking because that would have ended up costing more for shipping than the item itself.)
I have mixed feelings about the auction house. I'd love for it to work, but right now there are just too few eyes seeing what's for sale -- so some items that would sell easily on eBay won't get a bid at bitcoinhop.
If you have rare or unique items, it would probably be better to sell on ebay. But if you have computers or electronics then you will get a lot of bids. Another problem is the instability of the value of a bitcoin. It's hard to put down a price knowing that the amount I'll receive in USD could be greater than or less than the value of the item I am selling.
That's because bitcoin is very new. Within a year or two, the value of 1 bitcoin will probably be more stable. another point is that your site hold the coins another few days which prevent me for example on getting a less risky estimate of the value.
This is to prevent fraud. But once you sell a certain amount of items successfully, you can become a trusted seller and receive bitcoins right after the buyer pays.It's a pitty there's not "wanted" section.
This is still coming soon.Right now Im working on a few other things like a FAQ.
what happens if the buyer claims the product was broken or the box shipped was empty?
Does the seller not get his money?
This will be handled on a case by case basis. There is no perfect solution. Does the seller not get his money?
Have you thought about putting in some Affiliate ads, might earn a few xtra pennies for you.
There are loads of affiliate sites out there.
Also if you use an ad rotator, you can rotate Banners,.
Tradedoubler offer ad rotaion facilities.
I might put up ads in the future to help cover costs. Is tradedoubler better than Google Adsense?There are loads of affiliate sites out there.

If you click Buy Now, you will be sent an email with a bitcoin address to send the bitcoins to. Once your bitcoins are confirmed, the seller is automatically notified by email to ship your item.
Someone asked for an option to see items which ship to your country. I just made this the default setting. So now by default (when logged in), you will only see items being sold in your country and items which are shipped worldwide to your country. There will also be a button to see all items from all countries.
Re: BitcoinHop beta - the best bitcoin auction site with BUYER PROTECTION
@zer0 - I understand. I might have to add a terms and conditions checkbox on the signup page.
But your payment has been received.
Well, I bid and won a tshirt, yippee.
Now I'm just waiting for the status to change from unpaid to paid since I paid this morning and it has like 20 confirmations now. Is the "status" of payments handled manually?
You can ignore that. That section is for the seller to confirm he received the payment (which is not even relevant). Im going to replace that very soon with the actual payment status.

How does the buyer protection work?
For instance, there's an iPad 2 up for sale right now with a min-bid of 5btc. At the current exchange rate, that's a really cheap iPad 2. If the auction closes and the exchange rate doesn't fluctuate enough for that person to make as much of a profit as they were probably hoping, what's their incentive to follow through?
Is it simply an escrow mechanism so they won't receive my btc until I approve it, or something else?
(I'm very tempted to start bidding on the serious items, but I don't want to get scammed and this sort of thing is prone to that.)
If the buyer claims he never received the item and the seller doesnt have proof of shipment (tracking number, delivery confirmation) then the bitcoins are returned to the buyer.For instance, there's an iPad 2 up for sale right now with a min-bid of 5btc.

Re: BitcoinHop beta - the best bitcoin auction site with BUYER PROTECTION
If there aren't fees, how do you make money with the site?
There will be fees in the future. But there will never be fees for listing, uploading images, adding a reserve, or buy it now. There will only be small fees, like 0.02 bitcoins, for items which are sold and also fees for featured items.Is there any benefit to making the address to send payments to a "per auction" address instead of one address for all things bitcoinhop?
Im working on this, it should be updated soon.@toast - thank you!
