42  Economy / Service Discussion / MtGox has announced they "found" 200k BTC (we all knew already, didn't we) on: March 20, 2014, 05:51:14 PM
those 200k BTC that went through the MtGox API and everybody assumed they had.. well, apparently MtGox has now announced that they are in fact in control of the coinz.

A leading trading site management company "bit coin (BTC = Bitcoin)" virtual currency on the Internet, the 20th, I had described the company has lost the bankruptcy in February "Mount Ngoc, Inc." The (Tokyo) Of the approximately 850,000 BTC, has announced about 200,000 BTC  has left.

This raises an interesting question.

Assets in BTC / debt in BTC

is not equal to

Assets in fiat / debt in fiat

which means that MtGox may be forced to sell that BTC in order to threat all creditors equal.

45  Economy / Service Discussion / Press Release 20140215: MtGox may resume BTC withdraws sometime late next week on: February 15, 2014, 10:35:38 AM

Dear Mt. Gox Customers,
In order to implement our solution to the “transaction malleability” issue being faced by bitcoin exchanges and businesses, we are going to have a 6-hour downtime on all bitcoin deposits and internal bitcoin transfers in addition to the current pause on bitcoin withdrawals. Trading will otherwise still be open as usual.

Maintenance Schedule (approximate):
6pm ~ 12am JST (February 15th)
The above downtime period is approximate: it may be shortened or lengthened as required. Once the implementation is complete customers will again be able to deposit bitcoin, but we will be doing extensive testing before bitcoin withdrawals are reactivated. We will publish an update on the situation on Monday .

BlockChain.info have implemented changes to address the malleability issue. Our solution should work in the short term, while a longer-term solution is being discussed with the Bitcoin Core Dev team and the Bitcoin Foundation. We are also discussing this with other exchanges and businesses.
Thank you for your support during the maintenance, and we will update you on the progress shortly.
Best regards,
MtGox Team

^^ I realize this is mostly hogwash - main point here is that there will be an "update" on Monday. This could mean that they will manage to make BTC withdraws work late next week or at worst by the end of the month.

Some translations:

"In order to implement our solution to the “transaction malleability” issue being faced by bitcoin exchanges and businesses"

As these links explain:

http://cryto.net/~joepie91/blog/2014/02/10/why-mtgox-is-full-of-shit/
http://falkvinge.net/2014/02/11/the-embarrassing-fact-mtgox-left-out-of-their-press-release/

This an example of mtgoxproblems.gif, not anything faced by other exchanges or businesses. "Transaction malleability" is not the real issue, just something MtGox likes to claim is the issue since that sounds better than the ugly truth.

"Once the implementation is complete customers will again be able to deposit bitcoin" -> Translation: We will change the keys in our SQL database since our demand for a new primary database key to the community was met.

"BlockChain.info have implemented changes to address the malleability issue." Truth as documented at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/3656 : blockchain.info added and extra ID solely to accomodate MtGox.

Anyway, good luck getting your BTC out of MtGox & good luck not being the last ones out who realize MtGox is now a fractional reserve who can only keep operating as long as everyone doesn't try to withdraw their BTC. If everyone does try to withdraw then the last ones trying will experience what happens when you try to withdraw empty IOUs (unless they dig into their own BTC stash and cover what was stolen, which may very well be possible).
