Mybitcoin is a scam.  I have no idea why anyone would still endorse them as a legitimate service after how many people I have seen losing BTC through it.  I refuse to use it, and I will refuse to pay any website through it.  I hope others do the same, and help get the word out about how mybitcoin is a scam.

Wow, that's really disturbing. One of the 1st things I did was sign up for MyBitcoin because I thought I saw it on a "beginner's guide". I'll have to inform whomever wrote it to remove it!

What's the address? Just check it on http://blockexplorer.com/. Maybe there is a problem with your bitcoin client.

very depressing as that was my first mt. gox transaction. spent $30 and I can't justify losing money to bitcoin. seriously considering forgetting about bitcoin entirely.


 consider starting a new thread asking what happens if somebody send btc to an invalid address.... may be somebody can give light about this. may be the transfer will return, but i dint know....

So you have sent Bitcoins from Mybitcoin.com to a local wallet successfully?

 every day! :-) i got payments on mybitcoin and send them to my local wallet. also sometimes paying directly from mybitcoin for goods or services.

It was a previously used address but as far as I can tell those addresses are valid forever, right? If it were invalid would the Bitcoins return to Mybitcoin.com?

 i think they last forever.... but the strange is it is not showed in blockexplorer. dont know what happens if you send btc to an invalid address...

Why is Mybitcoin.com advertised all over the place like they are some sort of reliable bitcoin service? I sent them a little over 2 Bitcoins and they appeared in my account very fast. I then withdrew them from Mybitcoin.com and sent them somewhere else only to find they never got there. I tried using their internal messaging system and no reply. It has been almost 24 hours and my Bitcoins are still missing. The balance on Mybitcoin.com is back to 0 and the transfer history shows they were sent, however, the address I sent them to does not appear in the block explorer. I am sure they were never sent and Mybitcoin.com has my balance at zero. I ask again: Why is Mybitcoin.com treated as a legitimate business? Once this happened I searched for info about this company and all I found was several people saying they were robbed too. Mybitcoin.com deserves to get sued and the Bitcoin community needs to blacklist them publicly so newbies don't get discouraged after being robbed.

 Strange. i am using mybitcoin as a payment gateway and had no problem with them.
