That note really is in the Mtgox source code. Make of it what you will.

If a new company acquires Gox would this mean that deposits are safe and normality could resume?  ::)

But the title of the thread is "mtgox acquisition confirmed". There are not have been no confirmations of anything. It goes way beyond the evidence at hand to assert a speculation as if it were a fact.

Is this the normal way to announce something? A blank page and such a source?


Title: Re: MtGox Acquisition Confirmed !
Post by: T.Stuart on February 25, 2014, 09:53:39 AM
Change the title of this thread please.

I suggest: "MtGox Acquisition?"

No it's for sure not the right way to announce such thing, but can be that the programmmer just did a incredible and naive mistake....
If it's true, then, wow, this could boost the prices and then, whoever the investor is, smart move, since whole Goxcoins will gain value again, materializing part of the investment.

I wonder if stamp is rallying right now because people have actually moved on from gox or if it's because of this bullshit.

I believe this is just Marks last attempt to get personally richer out of this bad situation.

Soon as it was discovered the price jumped up, he will be buying/selling on other exchanges as he still has a lot of control over the price.

I wouldn't be surprised if he launches a "fake" acquisition just to fool everyone a little while longer so he can continue to trade on other exchanges.

I'm just teasing a la proudhon
Frankly , I'm more incline to believe its a new stunt from Mark to give hope and gain more time..
Unless there is a strong buyer that manifest itself, goxxers should start legal action!

Looks like their helpdesk (which probably at the end of the day consisted solely of mr karpeles himself) has also shut up shop

I think the rally is due to people assuming that Blockchain is about to announce that they are aquiring Mt. Gox and maybe taking on their debts.

@wazzinc @blockchain That's covered in more detail. The technical team was helping them but at no point aware of the loss of customer funds.

MtGox was aquired by Mircea Popescu.

And it will now have a 30 BTC signup fee and you can only place orders through some obscure interface with GPG-signed message.

Nope it's still working fine. Not sure why people keep saying the support page isn't working - here it is:

There is also this that people should be aware of:

EDIT: Please excuse this. I think it is more FUD. Amazing the clever tricks people are coming up with.

Then of course there's some fun:

https://www.mtgox.com/img/pdf/insolvency-Announcement.backup

Now what is that you may ask?

Well ... notice it doesn't give a 404 error?

Click on this to see what it looks like if it doesn't exist:

Title: Re: MtGox Acquisition Possibility !
Post by: dg2010 on February 25, 2014, 11:12:44 AM
That is very interesting. This means that there is a file on the server called insolvency-Announcement.backup

That's just more BS. You can change the address to whatever and there will be no 404 either. Cheap FUD.

Fud. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Post by: JCviggen on February 25, 2014, 11:15:17 AM
NP, it's just worth pointing out ;)

The difference probably lies in the fact that the server understands the extension .backup but not .backup2

Whoever came up with that is full of shit.

Someone very rich needs to speak up and say they are acquiring mtgox immediately. Something needs to be worked out for the community sake.

popescu is the biggest fucking douche bag in Bitcoin even worse than Mark, If what u said is true then BTC will tank to $0.00001 just because of that news on  STAMP

Interesting, So basically Gox.com was a rebranding strategy and now possibly used for a pseudo Acquisition..
