Title: R.I.P. Gox 13/02/2014
Post by: the joint on February 14, 2014, 03:41:52 AM
I'm calling it.  

Tonight/today (depending on where you are), Gox earns its tombstone.

It reads:

"Mt. Gox - Exchanging Magic for Mountains of S*** since 2010"

R.I.P.  you filthy animal.

It's funny you mention this, because I started this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=459059.msg5066383#msg5066383 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=459059.msg5066383#msg5066383)

Edit: Does anyone know how feasible it would be to determine if coins are being sent to exchanges from addresses known to be owned primarily by Mt. Gox?

I simply dont buy the "delay" in fiat withdrawal at all... never did. I think its simply so they can attract noobs who want to sell btc at higher imaginary price.

I also believe Marks friends and associates have no problem doing arbitrage trading while moving fiat in and out of the exchange without any delays.

This BTC withdrawal issue is an easy way for Marks to reverse the market and continue the same inside trading.

Yes we have issues with tx mutability but most of the invalid tx from Gox is due to their incompetent system made DER tx which is nonstandard to most nodes. Hence open an easy way for the attacker

I agree unfortunately the exchange needs to be regulated or this type of thing will happen.  If you did this type of stuff in the regular markets and this blatantly you'd go to jail.  To me it's fairly obvious they are doing some underhanded activities.
