Mt Gox has been in its death throes since 2011, yet somehow it manages to stick around.

They are probably half way to the bahamas right now.   Does anyone know where the higher ups from Mt Gox are from.  Not that race has anything to do with it, but Japanese people are typically people of honor, and would never screw clients out of money.

I only got interested in bitcoin in 2013 and I never considered this exchange a valid one. I guess some people are either naive or it's their only choice for an exchange. I've always ignored it even though people quoted it repeatedly because it's price was 'higher'

I was wondering this too.  Even the japanese Yakuza have more honor than this and give back to the society.   The president looks european (possibly russian?).  I know people protested outside the headquarters, but are there even employees inside?  My best guess is that they packed up shop awhile ago.  Could have even been a makeshift 'front' for a headquarters.  Who knows.

Do you guys think mark would sell it for a $1 million? I would love to purchase it, with all the staff, software, and licenses. Mark is not CEO material, he had a gold ticket in the palm of his hands.

Good question. I wonder if this one could be community funded. How about a hostile take-over ?

a bit surprised gox has stuck around as long as they have with all the problems they've had over the last couple years.  i always felt bad for newcomers to bitcoin who would sign up to gox because that's the exchange media always talked about when talking about bitcoin.

glad i got out when i did.

I wouldn't normally post a refferal link outside of my sig because I think it's unclassy, but this is unique times. if you've dealt with gox and are looking for something different, try out coinbase.   https://coinbase.com/?r=526fd45f189d21efb1000138&utm_campaign=user-referral&src=referral-link

I would so be in for this! I never wanted to start my own exchange but I would gladly help restore Mt. Gox back to the glory days when Jed was running it!

Haha we should just get PhinnCage  Bitcoin 100 and have people round up enough BTC to just do a total hostile take-over.  I mean it would be like, " Look we have 500 BTC , its over , you are out , we are moving in ..."  ....  The only thing I ask is we restore the name to  mt.cocks :) haha jk

Mt Gox would be the easiest site to restore back. This is all we would have to do. We purchase with the licenses, that is the hard part. We shutdown the service, allow liquidation of all assets. We open USD, bitcoin, JPY, EURO to be withdrawn. Once the site is completely we are done with that, which will be a headache but necessary.  Then we do a full code audit and patch up the alleged trade engine that they have created mitius or something. Restart the service and start a private beta for accounts that are willing to input $100K of fiat currency or bitcoins. Then slowly restore it then scale it and open it up and bam you have a full exchange.

You sir are a brillant man. I didn't even think of just buying out the licenses I mean what the hell are they going to do with those ? Then like you said liquidate  all assets.  Re-open in USD, Bitcoin, JPY, EURO for withdrawl.  This suppose speed demon trade engine midius or whatever its called would be the key purchase to scale out.  I like the idea of a private betas for accounts willing to throw in 100K   heck , make the people who participate in the hostile take over automatically start out as beta testers .  If there is one exchange that could have this happen in a quickly and timely fashion its this one. Bring back Jed as CTO haha  ?

It has continually baffled me how it's managed to even stay in business. Never heard anyone have a good experience with them.

They are probably half way to the bahamas right now.   Does anyone know where the higher ups from Mt Gox are from.  Not that race has anything to do with it, but Japanese people are typically people of honor, and would never screw clients out of money.


That's a bit of a mas generalisation, but Mark Karpeles is their CEO, but they're owned by a Japanese company. Whether it's owned by actual Japanese people I do not know.
