Yes. Gox is allegedly fixing the problem involving transaction malleability.Did you expect them to fix every other problem they have as well (for example, making transaction with immature coins)?
Where is Gox getting immature coins? Those come from recent mining. Why would any miner with perfectly good Bitcoins sell on Gox right now? Were these coins actually mined recently?

Miners. Stupidity. Yes.

The mtgox problem isn't solvency, so much as it is competency.
Exactly. MtGox is either criminal, or extraordinarily incompetent.


Past history points towards the latter.

At some point extraordinary incompetence becomes criminal.

Edit: Although anyone using Gox in the future is also a moron.

LOL. This is Gox we are talking about. Band-aids. That's all they can do.

I hope they can use a large enough Band-aid to resume withdraws and allow those poor folks known as Gox customers to get their funds out.

Don't expect much more from them.

The recent price rise at Gox just screwed me majorly.
+1  Sad

So you've both sold goxcoins for less than $200?

Why is there so much tolerance to dishonesty in the bitcoin community?

Does it have something to do with the libertarian philosophy, in some broad sense of the term? Perhaps those loyal clients think, "The guy is not a scammer, because anyone who lost money to his scam is stupid, and stupid people deserve to lose their money"?

Quite the opposite. People have been trained since birth to allow others to take care of their money for them. They expect a safety net. So, they act accordingly.

When they come upon something which requires user responsibility to protect, they flounder. They don't know how to protect themselves. Bad things happen and they look for someone to blame.

It's not tolerance. I don't enjoy watching scams unfold. I fear that Bitcoin's main flaw is that people are irresponsible and won't be able to handle controlling their own money.  

Then I realize that I managed to do it. If I can do it, anyone can do it.

There is also the notion that Bitcoins aren't money, but tokens that represent money. The same reason casinos use chips instead of cash. When people are holding casino chips, they are more likely to simply gamble them away. It's an abstraction layer. What people need to realize is that Bitcoin is less of an abstraction than their precious fiat. That's going to take time for most of the world.

All this fiasco will likely cost them in the long run is market share.

Hopefully a large chunk of it.

I forgot to mention one thing: MtGox has earned over 6k BTC the past two weeks. Assuming they lost an amount of user deposits, then their liabilities keep shrinking over time as long as people trade maniacally on high volume. Pretty funny.

I'm beginning to think Gox is less incompetent than I previously thought!

Not really, a fully functioning exchange which draws in more traders would make more than this over time. I expect Gox's volume to dwindle to nothing before long. They took a free monopoly and did everything in their power to destroy it!

Then again, people will probably praise Gox once they allow withdraws to trickle out. "Gox saved Bitcoin from malleability!"

Going through my Gmail account to try and find where this crap is at ! It might even be on a stupid photobucket to be honest ... this just sucks because now my roomie who brought this to my attention is claiming it was his $ that purchased the BTC, but that does not matter I just want to salvage this computer, if the drive was wiped is there a way to send it in to a forensics lab to retrieve old data to obtain the wallet??

So you and your room mate both waited four years to decide it might be a good time to look for 1000+ bitcoins?

Either you people are insane, or this is all bullshit. I know which way I'm leaning.
1192  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: February 22, 2014, 10:30:46 PM
All in all, it was probably pretty idiotic to value goxUSD 4-5x higher than mtgoxBTC for the sole reason of having a slightly easier time to sue, regardless of how their solvency stands.

Do ya think? LOL.

Of course, I don't put anything past someone who thinks it's a good idea to keep large amounts of Bitcoin on Gox.

Did you just wake from a coma as well?

negative, but I was in a bad car accident in 2010 and was on bedrest for awhile and thought I traded the BTC for WoW GOLD ...(found out about BTC after i sold WOW Gold to someone in 2010 that mentioned BTC)

So, why did you wait four years to make this thread?

This should probably be in the alt coin section since it's not really Bitcoin press, but why didn't the guy choose to mine Bitcoin instead of Dogecoin if he had access to a supercomputer?  Cheesy

Supercomputers have sucked at mining Bitcoin for years now.

It's hard to change habbits habits. Gox is engraved in genes of bitcoiners morons - at least the ones that have +1k btc stash will eventually have nothing.

FTFY!
1197  Economy / Speculation / Re: what happens to BTC-e & bitstamp price if Gox open withdraws? on: February 22, 2014, 04:48:31 PM
Speculators stuck on Gox will switch to other exchanges once they are allowed to pull their funds out of Gox.

A few moron whales will stay on Gox because they are too clumsy to move.

Other exchanges will start to have problems with the influx of new customers.

New exchanges will spring up, hopefully learning lessons from those that failed.

Gox will slowly fade into oblivion.

Holding is easy. Trusting these exchanges is what takes balls of steel.
1200  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Missing Bitcoins from armory on: February 22, 2014, 05:16:03 AM
Found a block chain explorer and the payment address has never been used.
Hmmmm, I'm reading the confirmation email from Poloniex, and it has a confirmation link address which I need to click.
Maybe thats why It didn't go through.
Leave it with me, Thats likely the explanation.

Yep, it sounds like the funds were never sent, which would explain why you can't see those coins in Armory.

Good luck getting it sorted out.
