Brother, where are you getting that Error Message, are you logged into Gox?

This is the message you get if you try to do a trade.

It seemed to have stopped exactly at 3 AM global middle time, according to the bitcoinwisdom trade updates anyway.

Same here. And for grins, I tried to do a password recovery, which produced an error.

Still at the mercy of Gox - like many folks, I hope they at least allow external BTC transfers soon

MtGox login works only on Firefox here, not Chrome or the old Opera Presto.

Blockchain.info seems to working just fine.

I've been unable to login using Chromium, Chrome and Firefox.

I can confirm it isn't for me, and all charts/stats sites report no trading at all in the last 45 minutes.

So they decide to not suspend trading when they suspend withdraws, then wait until the GoxCoin to GoxBuxs exchange rate crashes 90% and then they halt trading.  Thus ensuring that the frozen low Goxxed exchange rate will be part of all the media stories tomorrow.

Nobody can be that incompetent can they?

If that's what it takes to see their final blow, I'm willing to restart climbing back from $135 in a Gox-free BTC economy.

I just want Gox to be closed. Someone has got to pull the plug ASAP

I'd not be surprised if he was the one to dump 10K on bitstamp last night at 579.34 and thousands since then...relentless selling, not matter what price.
I guess it does not matter when you have them for next to nothing.

Biggest heist in history?

Seems like it was more to keep it from going sub 100 again.
Look at the very light volume since trading has been halted.

Gox is dead, and it's actually a good thing for BTC, just like the shutdown of SR before the rally to $1000.

Time for the Foundation to weed out their sponsors (https://members.bitcoinfoundation.org/current)

I would bet all my BTC to a pinch of shit that its a knee-jerk reaction to the "crisis strategy draft" that was uploaded to scribd

I had a look at the bit coin foundation web page. The picture of Mt.Gox CEO has been deleted from the advisory board (he resigned yesterday), but no official statement about his resignation and the dead of Mt.Gox
There is one join statement of the remaining major Bitcoin trade companies in The Coinbase Blog

hi, new to the forum, a bit longer to bitcoin and goxxed. I think this is the very first right thing which i wud expect. Stop Trading untill the problems re solved.

Of coz u normally wud think that a problems had to be solved within 24h when u driving a website with a few clicks a day....

Also i recieved money cashed out 11 Jan and a answer to my request regardiing withdraw. Very soon its says. For the first time i see light on the end tunnel. Hope its not again the oncoming traffic.

Can anyone believe that all but 2000 Bitcoins have been stolen in a slow process over 3 years without anyone at MtGox noticing that there is a leak? I mean, they must have accessed their cold storage or at least check the addresses on Blockexplorer or Blockchain.info?

This document is a fake, IMHO.



Title: Re: Trading stopped on Mt.Gox
Post by: T.Stuart on February 25, 2014, 08:26:02 AM
I've never seen such a bullshit fake piece of shit document before in my life!

I know Gox sets the bar pretty high when it comes to incompetence, but even they wouldn't write this thing!

(BTW this doesn't mean anyone will get their funds back of course)

EDIT: sorry for the understatement there: "is an impossible act to follow when it comes to incompetence" is more accurate.

Dear MtGox Customers,

As there is a lot of speculation regarding MtGox and its future, I would like to use this opportunity to reassure everyone that I am still in Japan, and working very hard with the support of different parties to find a solution to our recent issues.

Furthermore I would like to kindly ask that people refrain from asking questions to our staff: they have been instructed not to give any response or information. Please visit this page for further announcements and updates.

Sincerely,
Mark Karpeles
