Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: smoothie on September 29, 2013, 01:20:14 PM Just my two cents as a Father, perhaps focusing on your family is more important than confronting Mark.
Although I agree that it may bring something positive to see him in person. Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: bg002h on September 29, 2013, 02:59:06 PM Try taking a social network trip. Faster. Better. Cheaper.

Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: Come-from-Beyond on September 29, 2013, 04:13:03 PM I will go to Japan and meet up with davidpate + other fellow bitcoiners, film / record it all and find Mark Karpeles to confront him about his lack of communication skills and just what exactly is going on over there at MTgox After reading these words a computer game came to my mind... http://cs138.vk.me/v138687/75/RdZXb0RJmUc.jpg Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: MemoryDealers on September 29, 2013, 04:16:48 PM What are the questions that you want to ask?
Please make a list in this thread. Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: Remember remember the 5th of November on September 29, 2013, 05:00:58 PM Are you going to be buying manga while there?
Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: superduh on September 29, 2013, 05:03:51 PM What are the questions that you want to ask? Please make a list in this thread. 1. are you running on fractional reserve system 2. do you see favorable outcome regarding seized assets 3. when will you push the updates that were promised by you 4. are you planning on closing up like btct Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: Come-from-Beyond on September 29, 2013, 05:22:26 PM 1. are you running on fractional reserve system You shouldn't ask this question. Anyway the answer will be "No". Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: og kush420 on September 29, 2013, 06:43:03 PM and why not get someone who already lives in tokyo and actually speaks the fucking language and is able to communicate to drive there and do this for almost no cost?

Cause why not trick naive bitcoiners into paying a vacation for you?Seems there's alot of negativity here. Kush, if you want to find someone in tokyo or who wants todo this, it sounds great, why not.. . If people pledged the money ~ I'd go and do it. Simple.. . if no one else will, do it yourself. wopwop, I'm not trying to 'trick' anyone. . There is no trickery going on.. I just said I could go hunt Mark down and confront him about his silence regarding so many issues. . If people think it's of worth while, they can contribute, if not, so be it. . It is entirely voluntary. *Edit, and I'd like to add, It wasn't even my idea to do this, or crowd fund it, others suggested so I just put the idea to the community. Don't like it, fine, but don't come in here claiming I'm trying to trick naive bitcoiners into paying for a vacation. Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: QuestionAuthority on September 29, 2013, 08:01:57 PM It may be more difficult to get in than you think. What do the Japanese think about stalkers and how do they handle that?

Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: smoothie on September 29, 2013, 10:15:50 PM 1. are you running on fractional reserve system ^ good, I'd add in; 2. do you see favorable outcome regarding seized assets 3. when will you push the updates that were promised by you 4. are you planning on closing up like btct 5. Given you are the #1 BTC exchange, How come you've stopped providing timely updates and do you feel this is good enough ? 6. What do you have to say about the many customers out there who are angry with you for not providing timely updates regarding their pending withdraws. 7. What are your thoughts on MtGox losing volume to competitors like bitstamp & how do you plan to win back support in the btc community? 8. What can you say reinforce market confidence given your fiat seizures ? With regards to people saying; Quote Just my two cents as a Father, perhaps focusing on your family is more important than confronting Mark. My family is, always has been and always will be my #1 priority. Without knowing me, my family, or our circumstances/ current position.. I would like to point out that any criticism in this matter is completely unwarranted. :) It wasnt criticism. Just a suggestion. Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: Loozik on September 30, 2013, 12:54:57 AM https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/215 I will go to Japan and meet up with davidpate + other fellow bitcoiners, film / record it all and find Mark Karpeles to confront him about his lack of communication skills and just what exactly is going on over there at MTgox 1. Your goal at bitcoinstarter is BTC 25. You won't be able to finance your undertaking with this amount I think. 2. Who will cover the remaining amount? Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: grue on September 30, 2013, 01:04:35 AM why can't we get a bitcoin user in tokyo to do this? surely it's cheaper than round trip plane ticket to japan.
Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: Zangelbert Bingledack on September 30, 2013, 02:27:39 AM What are you going to do, wait outside MtGox HQ all day until Karpeles comes out?
Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: saddambitcoin on September 30, 2013, 04:22:50 AM i'm planning a trip to tokyo in february independent of whatever happens in this thread
i will visit mt gox offices and see whats up, if for any other reason just to take my picture next to their office Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: clipcoins on September 30, 2013, 06:27:33 AM Just my two cents as a Father, perhaps focusing on your family is more important than confronting Mark. Although I agree that it may bring something positive to see him in person. I think his kids would be proud of him. And kids don't need their Dad standing over them 24/7 anyway. Give them some space, Pops. Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: calian on September 30, 2013, 07:11:30 AM Sounds way more cost effective than confronting him on #mtgox. Why not go confront Peter Vessenes and DHS and ask them when they're going to give Gox its money?

Lol, yes I was asking myself the self question. He will refuse to see you, and you will be fucked up :) You should better try to contact him over email or twitter or whatever. And I don't see how this could help. I am pretty sure you can find a Japanese guy to do that himself, instead of making a trip. Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: str4wm4n on September 30, 2013, 08:59:28 AM MT Gox stole 60 of my bitcoins...

Nobody pledged so far Why are you asking so much? And why will I win by investing there? Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: Alpaca Bob on September 30, 2013, 09:55:12 AM People still use MtGox?
Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: bitcoin44me on September 30, 2013, 09:59:57 AM People still use MtGox? Lol, of course. 24h volume = 10k btc. I don't think that any exchange got a higher volume. (bitstamp volume = 7.8 k btc) Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: Jace on September 30, 2013, 10:59:22 AM Why the f*ck do people still care about MtGox? ???
Gox is history, other exchanges run the show now. And that's a good thing. Get your coins out while you still can and ignore this whole Gox debacle. Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: bitcoin44me on September 30, 2013, 11:04:17 AM Why the f*ck do people still care about MtGox? ??? Gox is history, other exchanges run the show now. And that's a good thing. Get your coins out while you still can and ignore this whole Gox debacle. Which exchanger are you using? As I said in my previous post, mt.gox is still the more widely used website so far to buy and sell btc. Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: Jace on September 30, 2013, 02:21:21 PM Which exchanger are you using? Mostly bitcoin.de and bitstamp.net.Quote As I said in my previous post, mt.gox is still the more widely used website so far to buy and sell btc. I guess that's all based on their past reputation. Right now it seems pretty useless to me:It completely riddles me why anyone would want to buy BTC there, because the prices are higher (probably for the reason mentioned below) than any other major exchange. It also riddles me why anyone would want to sell BTC there, because you can't get fiat out. I had to wait 3+ months to get a shitload of Euros transferred to my bank account (and still didn't get it). I ended up cancelling the whole thing, buying back BTC (at premium price), withdrawing them to another exchange and selling them there. To clarify the latter: I'd prefer to keep my money as BTC rather than fiat anyway, but in this case I needed some Euros (wanted to pay off mortgage and stupid banks still not accepting BTC directly :(). Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: CurbsideProphet on September 30, 2013, 07:50:31 PM What are you going to do, wait outside MtGox HQ all day until Karpeles comes out? This is what I'm wondering, what sort of qualifications do you have? If you were some sort of investigative journalist I could see this possibly having some use but right now it just sounds like you're a random guy trying to either get a free vacation or play vigilante. Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: ErebusBat on September 30, 2013, 07:59:56 PM I think his kids would be proud of him. And kids don't need their Dad standing over them 24/7 anyway. Give them some space, Pops. I was thinking more about his wife about to give birth, she might appreciate his presence; however as he pointed out I do not know his situation and have no right to speak.I just know if it were me I would rather be with my wife than jetsetting around the globe. Title: Re: Crowdfunding to confront Mark Karpeles of MtGox Post by: jehst on October 01, 2013, 10:25:26 AM This makes no sense, sorry. Showing up in person isn't going to get you any more information. Mtgox said that the bank in Japan limits how many wire transfers they'll do per day. I believe that. What needs answering is why it's taking so long to establish new banking relationships.

Confronting him would do little to nothing to resolve the problems that GOX account holders have. If you do something stupid you would likely end up in jail.

Might not have stopped the bots from running up the price of BTC at MtGox tho.
