I expect to start acquiring bitcoins soon by selling some stuff on a Bitcoin auction site. I may hold off for a few months before I try to convert any to dollars or euros; my real interest in Bitcoin is to use it as an alternate currency for buying and selling, not to speculate on currency shifts. (No interest in channeling George Soros here.) When I do, I hope that there will be more choices, and that Mt. Gox and the other existing sites will have either cleaned up their miserably inadequate security practices or gone out of business.

I just got interested in Bitcoin recently, and opened a Mt. Gox account, but hadn't done anything with it because I was still figuring out how to secure my bitcoin wallet and stash before I started actually acquring bitcoins. I'm glad now that I did.

You forgot Ebay, which is the one I will be using..
hmm more votes.. looks like tradehill may become the next #1 exchange
When they first opened, they had a lot of spelling errors and copied+pasted stuff from other sites. One thing they copied and pasted even still had the sites name in it.
All is fixed now, but thats very sketchy, like trying to throw something together fast.
I thought I read something about that happening (but actually thought it was TradeHill on that one). I can forgive that based on having to start sites quickly before and having to grab quick filler type text. However the spelling errors, while stupid, seems like a bigger mistake than the stealing of filler text. All is fixed now, but thats very sketchy, like trying to throw something together fast.
There is a strong argument that Bitcoin7 are only tech people who know the back end side to how this should work, or would work, and therefore wouldn't know how to properly make sure the front end, visuals of the site are clean for the general user, and so copied and pasted of course.
Just what I was thinking could be a possibility when I first read this, I just didn't realize it was Bitcoin7.
I need to keep a better eye on them, if they are honest, I wish them well.
Well people also were claiming Tradehill stole Mtgox layout, which is hardly true. Mtgox hardly has a layout to begin with, any website builder tool will have a "default" layout where you fill in blanks with text and/or images. I believe this is the case here.

I will be using "Top 2" for sure, and if I get enough spare cash this weekend, I will buy into some coin from possibly a third.
I know nothing of Bitcoin7, but why is it I have bad taste in my mouth if I say their name? They definitely get shit a lot on the forums, what is the reasoning for that, and have they done anything to rectify their bad name?

Just wondering, I'm kinda stuck between sticking with Mtgox, or going with Tradehill. Bitcoin7 is meh.
