Post by: siulynot on March 09, 2013, 02:07:06 AM
What will happen to MTGOX codes, will it become COINLAB codes ? or mtgox codes = coinlab codes???????


Will USA users still be able to move their funds around services that use MTGOX Codes???

No, they will not.

Mt. Gox will no longer be issuing MTGUSD and MTGCAD redeemable codes beginning April 10, 2012.  Other currencies (e.g., MTGEUR, MTGGBP, etc,) will still be issued, though nobody in the U.S. or Canada can have wallets with those currencies so effectively no redeemable codes in any currency are available to those in the U.S. or Canada.

Perhaps I'm seeing this incorrectly but it seems that will put a damper on the USD price at Gox.

It is probably good for Dwolla.

Its too bad really. Mt Gox codes were really useful. You could move fiat in seconds without the expense of wire transfers. Its a shame they are going away.

Laws.  More specifically,

Those who claim to be the masters of people in the United States don't think they want their property being able to transfer funds without a record.

Yes.

From another thread:

I got this letter today from system@tibanne.com

It's kind of weird that they'll still issue EUR codes, because if they did want to comply with European regulations they'd stop those too.
And actually if they really wanted to comply with said regulations they'd stop servicing EUR customers too.

Bad news, but at least now I know.
