Title: Re: New record: over $1M USD turnover in 24 hours at MtGox Post by: Bazil on June 07, 2011, 12:30:28 AM big surprise since mtgox has been so stagnant all day that I'm afraid it will start breeding mosquitoes.
Title: Re: New record: over $1M USD turnover in 24 hours at MtGox Post by: stic.man on June 07, 2011, 01:08:05 AM it takes newbs over a week to get into gox via dwolla here in the US, it may be quicker for other countries, not sure about them
Title: Re: New record: over $1M USD turnover in 24 hours at MtGox Post by: herbertfilby on June 07, 2011, 01:14:09 AM I concur on the Dwolla processing. People's transfers are probably (finally) starting to go through. I expect another leap in price now that people who have been itching to get BTC can finally get in.

not bad for one day, I wish I would have made mt gox :( Title: Re: New record: over $1M USD turnover in 24 hours at MtGox Post by: torbank on June 07, 2011, 01:27:44 AM Next stop: $1 Billion
;D Title: Re: New record: over $1M USD turnover in 24 hours at MtGox Post by: NO_SLAVE on June 07, 2011, 01:30:56 AM yeh, it would be a bit more If I could actually get money into the system. ::)

I imagine they have a pretty healthy profit, but profit margin should be around 50% or so.
Though I agree the fee is kinda high if volume really picks up. I think a $100,000 trade doesn't really cost that much more than a $10 trade. It should be a flat fee based model, like most stock brokers. Or at least do a flat fee past a certain dollar amount. 1 million * .0065 = 6 500 not bad for one day, I wish I would have made mt gox :( Title: Re: New record: over $1M USD turnover in 24 hours at MtGox Post by: lemonginger on June 07, 2011, 01:50:59 AM and maybe it will be, as soon as alternate exchanges become popular and trustworthy.
Title: Re: New record: over $1M USD turnover in 24 hours at MtGox Post by: stic.man on June 07, 2011, 01:52:26 AM gox said themselves there should be some more exchange competition which is half the reason the fee is so "high"
Title: Re: New record: over $1M USD turnover in 24 hours at MtGox Post by: weinerk on June 08, 2011, 06:25:26 PM Today - already over $3M USD
Title: Re: New record: over $1M USD turnover in 24 hours at MtGox Post by: Grant on June 08, 2011, 06:29:30 PM Today - already over $3M USD Geez, i thought 2 would be a record enough. Ok folks the bubble is certainly canceled the volume supports the new hights! :) Title: Re: New record: over $1M USD turnover in 24 hours at MtGox Post by: Freakin on June 08, 2011, 06:31:28 PM Gox is also planning a subscription based fee service instead of a percentage per trade.
