Title: mtgox is it a mountain, like Fuji-san? Post by: Bitman_Began on January 04, 2012, 06:32:52 AM Like I always think of it as mt.gox i.e. you say, 'mount gox' but is this an illusion??
Anybody know what 'mt' stands for??? Or even 'gox' for that matter :D Title: Re: mtgox is it a mountain, like Fuji-san? Post by: MoonShadow on January 04, 2012, 06:35:37 AM Magic The Gathering Online Exchange
At least, that's what it was orginaly. The site neither shares the original intent of the founder, nor any of it's codebase anymore, so it's become a kind of branding; like Amazon doesn't really tell you that they started off selling books online, either.

Post by: NeedMyWithdrawal on January 06, 2012, 12:19:08 AM Who would have thought a magic the gathering exchange would result in such traffic, controversy, and profit for the creator. Here's to hoping we get a more professional exchange on day -__-
