Anybody else having this issue? I tried in FF, Safari, and Chrome...?

I feel I am missing something here, so gox halted BTC withdrawals claiming that its is the protocol fault, we all agree on the bug and it has been known for a long time now, what I cant understand is how users are effected.

ok take a moment and hear me out, or in other words try to explain to me how this works:

1- I request a BTC withdraw
2- Gox hot wallet is empty
3- now 1000 user requests BTC withdrawals.
4- gox fill up the hot wallet to make it possible to withdraw or at the mean time they get enough deposits to proceed with the withdrawals.
5- the attacker is one of those users who did request a withdraw.
6- gox send TX1.
7- attacker change the TX1 to TX2
8- everyone get their Bitcoins regardless which tx is.
9- attacker claims that he didn't receive the BTC so they check their DB for TX1 and they agree on his claim and credit his account ( but again why, what about the other 999 user).
10- all the 999 user got their bitcoins and no one complains.


if we agree on the 10 steps above, then there is something fishy here, now when I see thousands of customers complaining about not getting Bitcoin withdrawals it makes me wonder how is this possible !!? because my logic tells me the 999 user shouldn't be effected, only the attacker who can claim on being "effected".

but for the last couple of weeks some people got their bitcoins when others didn't, how do we explain this ? anyone try to explain this to me ?

Now, can somebody hack their news CMS so we can modify the statement?

Not spreading FUD. I would actually say the same to you. There are website that have recently came up just to keep track of all the messed up transactions. Their are people who have been waiting over a week for their BTC. Funny part is, ts always a large transaction that gets stalled for days, weeks. Yeah some get through fine here and their. The majority of BTC is being stalled or held when you try to withdrawl BTC. Funny how deposits work seamlessly, lol dont lye to yourself and the public and say GOX is ok. Its not. Rite now their worse than your average bank. Anyone using Gox is taking a huge risk, and thats the truth not FUD

The reason Bitcoin price doesn't rise because there is No Demand For It.
Yes, the acceptance has grown but people don't have any reason to buy BTC to purchase stuff.

The reason that bitcoin price was exploded in December is a lot of Chinese wants to move their wealth out of the country.
Of course they still do now but it's lot harder, since government is trying to stop it.

I cannot confirm. Using the ignore function is for fascists only.

Bitcoin in China is in the same positions as the Nazi's were in 1945.

Some fanatics (SS) are still trying to save their dream (Third Reich) by trying to bypass laws and regulations enforced by the dominant player (Soviet-Union, it's just a coincidence China used to be/is Communist just like the S-U).

The fanatics in this case are, of course, the Chinese bitcoin fanatics, and/or those who have invested a lot in bitcoin and can not afford to lose. You could view the investors as the Nazi SS Death-Squads who were responsible for massacres. They could not surrender, it was either victory, or death.

They are hopelessly trying to bypass the laws and regulations enforced by the Chinese government. For example by trying to get money into the exchanges by using vouchers. The Nazi's, for example, used the Hitler Jugend (children) and the Volkssturm (grandpa's) as their last resort to fight off the Soviets. They, naturally, failed. It was just a temporary measure to extend the existence of the Third Reich by a few more weeks/months.

You could basically say this about the entire bitcoin network. It was very powerful in the beginning, it gained a lot of momentum, and it looked unstoppable. Until it faced the wrath of the Allied Forces. Ironically, the same countries which opposed the Nazi's during World War 2, are currently oppossing bitcoin:

- Russia (Soviet-Union) is extremely anti-bitcoin. They even mentioned that bitcoin users could face jail time.

-China (Japan & Nazi-Germany were part of the Axis forces. Japan fought China, making China & Nazi-Germany enemies) has banned Bitcoin.

-The United States isn't really positive about bitcoin either. The NY hearing was dominated by the anti-bitcoin speakers. The pro-bitcoin speakers did have some good arguments, but it was obvious that the only reason they were pro-bitcoin, was because they had some kind of interest in the survival of bitcoin (investments). Those who were anti-bitcoin, analyzed bitcoin from a neutral point of view, and explained the risk of bitcoin very well. A currency which can not be trusted because:

- The founder is unknown
- It could be dominated by a foreign nation / terrorist group (51% attacks)
- It is extremely volatile
- It is not backed by anything
- Transactions are public, but you can not trace the people behind the transactions

This is the downfall of bitcoin, unfortunately. World War 2 started between 1939-1941, let's take September 1941 (Attack on Pearl Harbor). It ended +/- 4 years later. I expect bitcoin to be in the single digits by June 2014 (Operation Overlord).

-- Oh my gawd. This can not be a coincidence anymore. Too many similarities with World War 2. June 2014 - June 2014: 70 years since Operation Overlord started. This is it people, this is a confirmation that Bitcoin is going down. --

It was a nice experiment, but the First Bitcoin Reich will be destroyed by the world leaders. It is too great of a risk for the established institutions and governments.
