Never heard anybody say good things about gox.
They served me well but that was last year.. the only glitch was dumping a transaction to JPY rather than keeping it as GBP. I wonder they might just seize up and obviously then there is a risk for anyone holding anything there. I don't know, if MtGox is legally bond to return 100% or only as much as they can - fraction to all, in the way that Governments would/will do to fiat ye olde bank savers. It would be interesting to see what happens in that situation. I guess there'd just be a lot of lawsuits. |

the OP thinks that the price dropping from over $1000 to the prices it sits at now is a bad thing?
if gold went from $1310 an oz to lets say $600, you really think everyone would be running away from gold, or towards it?
the same applies to bitcoin.
Nice analogy. Yep, looks like it's reached a stage where it's cheap enough again... the buys are flowing in quite nicely now, staying above 600... even with mountainofcocks trading at nearly half  Happens all the time. Price falls and the people who believe in Bitcoin / want to get in buy more and the price gradually rises. Rinse and repeat. |

According to the last 10 news posts at blockchain.info, there is a lot more to it than a penny in someones mailbox.. it seems to be a little more complicated than that
You are saying that you believe that send you a satoshi is the same thing as the ongoing DDOS attack? There is a real attack going on which has absolutely nothing with this thread. You are right to some extent but still .. if you receive 1000 pennies, instead of 1, your mailbox is getting problems; if you run a business then such an extremely clogged mailbox could cause serious damage even if you manage to clean them out after awhile. If such spamming is used in a serious and malicious way, it would not really be good for BTC would it? What consumer would want to use a wallet with hundreds of such transactions in it? Spam mail does not cause damage to my email software but clogs it up nevertheless. I am afraid that this is the beginning of something awful. We witness the birth of crypto spamming.  That started a long time ago , one of the reasons the minimal transaction fee was imposed. But will blockchain.info show the public note while it's still unconfirmed? If it does, then this is a very successful spamming technique for advertising penis growth pills. If someone is using a vanity address they should always have to pay the transaction fee. That would stop the spam! It wouldn't. They'd just use a normal one. |

You can just quote the post and the code is there. Best to post an image of the sig if you don't want people to copy it. Thank you very much, I'd appreciate it if you can delete the code I've deleted my original replies. Done, but now you need to get bitgeek to do the same |

bitcoin itself wont be regulated.
USA only has power over the us dollar. so the only thing bitcoin related that would be regulated is the exchanged that change fiat into coin. this means the exchanges that only spaw coin for coin EG altcoin and no fiat involvement. wont need these bitlicences.
the important thing to know is that USA can only regulate FIAT. other currencies are not in their juristiction
They'll just tax it when we spend it or exchange it for cash. |

I don't want to sell my BTC for fiat cause i'm pretty sure, in some weeks we're back at 1k$.
But a little bit of uncertainty is in my mind, so what do you guys think about changing some BTC into NXT as long as the price is so low? Today the first client-software was published and others will follow in short time. I watch this nxt-network since november, the community and dev-team is gorgeous and the price is stable since weeks.
The dev-team is gorgeous? You can always invest in some alts, but they're just as risky as BTC really. I'd just stick largely with Bitcoin though. |

I think that mtgox is dead, even if it solves all the problems (which is nearly impossible) noone will touch that piece of crap for sure.
Well that's what I've been thinking for ages but it's still going. I don't even understand how it's even managing to stay afloat. Never heard anybody say good things about gox. |

The governments aren't just going to sit back and let us use Bitcoin freely. They'll want their cut. Regulation is natural process really.

I quit reading about five lines into this guy's letter. Does not come across as genuine to me. That's all I know about this issue.
Indeed, certainly didn't read like he was "sweating" whilst typing it up. Sweating with excitement about all the free coins he's just got, or maybe out of fear if he gets caught . He seems like a hypocrite too, he slammed DPR for allegedly ordering hits now he essentially says do what you want to the people if you find them. |

Any chance the US would ever make it illegal?
There's always a chance, but I don't see on what grounds they could make it illegal. Banning it wouldn't make it worth any less any way. It'll still hold value to others and people will still use it. |

Where are the developers standing up for this and speaking up for this, maybe missed there comments in the 16 damm pages of BAD ATTENTION, but come on DEVs stand up for your coin... I am sure you were prepared for some of this... SPeak up ? or are you just as scared as the OP?
I think the devs have got better things to do that answer threads on here all day. |

If you believe in Bitcoin then use this opportunity to buy more. Or just hodl the coins you've got. Bitcoin always bounces back.

now start accepting Litecoin overstock!
No way. Litecoin is a worthless altcoin. It's not worthless, but it really does need some merchant adoption to grow. |

One of possible ways to regulate bitcoin's price in a bad way is simply close down major exchanges. Think if they manage to close gox, bitstamp, btc-e, coinbase and localbitcoins.
This will affect price seriously. Just my IMHO.
They'll never be able to close them all, so it'll be futile anyway. |

Fiver just announced they're paying out in Bitcoins now. See if you can sell yourself over there.
Fiverr is already full with people selling every single thing they can sell that too in 5$..! Do they actually pay out in Bitcoin's now, or can you just pay the site in BTC? Hopefully it works both ways. |
