Ok, but if I would like to buy new btc on another exchange (who?), what I should have to do 1 second after I've purchased btcs?

Don't treat Exchanges like banks. Banks are for fiat currencies, USD, GBP, JPY, etc. You do not need a bank for BTC.

Transfer the coins to your own wallet on your own computer, be your own bank.

This this and this again!

And again, and again.
There is absolutely no reason to store your BTCcoins online, it just adds a risk of losing everything like you seemingly did.
I recommend multibit as your own wallet, or the official client.

yes, this is the thing that I like about btc, just to use your computer as your own bank, don't forget to take precautions to avoid theft

And Make plenty of Backups of the wallet. Encrypted of course.

With this paper wallet, did you withdraw coins from MtGox into this wallet's address?

no and I think they are gone (stolen) forever. Where do U advice to buy btcs and do U have some tutorial in order to withdraw them 1 second after I've purchased them? Futher where/how I can sell my paper wallet content if the place where I purchased btcs cease to exsist?

Use coinbase or bitstamp and move to an offline paper wallet

Hi to all,
I've bought a yr ago few btc on mtgox and I've forget them. Now I read that mtgox is gone. I suppose my few btcs are gone too. Right? If so if I only created a paper wallet now do I would have something still valuable in my hands?
Tnx

The paper wallet looking like this:

1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and 5xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, the former being the public key which is where you withdraw BTC to from MtGox, and the latter being the private key (MUST keep hidden from prying eyes), marked as X but are just random numbers/letters.

If you didn't use withdraw function at MtGox, then they're gone forever, as MtGox has shut it's doors, probably forever.

It would be nice if someone could really find out the truth as to what happened to this BTC, but no one will ever know...unless it's leaked somehow. The common sense in this matter is, the BTC were NOT likely lost forever, and far likely STOLEN.

If you never used the "withdraw" section of MtGox then your coins are probably gone forever.
