Next update is on thursday. Until then, who knows?

There are plenty of threads speculating about what's next, but the reality is that noone other than the Gox-folks know for sure (and maybe they don't even know).

If you have your money or BTC tied up in MTGOX, I feel for you.

MTGOX just needs to return the money to its users and close its exchange. There are plenty of better options for BTC users out there now and after their past mistakes combined with this one, I just don't think they'll be able to compete.

I thought I read somewhere that withdrawals were supposed to resume around then, but I am not sure.   They definitely don't always go with what they say in their press releases...

Hopefully they will and people will just take their money and leave mt gox for good they have lost my business for sure.

Remember how everyone was pleading with Gox to add LTC to their portfolio?   I wonder if the addition of LTC would bring down the value per coin at this point...

if gox used ltc, there would be no need for bitcoinbuilder et cetera

in fact this is the strongest evidence I have ever seen for the need for altcoins, and the need for a good exchange, to diversify into several coins

any other coin would serve as a vehicle to get funds in and out, in such situation  ;D
