bitfreak! said "This entire thing is mind blowing... a lot of people just got royally screwed by Gox and I feel sorry for them." A lot of people are having a good time laughing at us, but they don't appreciate that several weeks ago Gox started disallowing BTC withdrawals. In other words, they closed the god damned bank door. So how in hell were people supposed to take their coins out and excape this mes? They couldn't. It's not as if they were dumb just for trading on the most active exchange in the world. True enough, Gox was currupt as hell... but Gox offered by far the highest liquidity in the world. And any smart trader knows that the way to make money is to go where the money is traded. You don't make any money trading horses if you hang out at a stockyard that trades 5 horses a week. Bottom line... Gox closed the door weeks ago and wouldn't let traders out. They literally stole the coins. Criminal charges will surely by laid. And yes, I feel sorry for the victims too. Only classless assholes would laugh at them.
Yes hindsight is 20/20 and a lot of dumb people like to try to feel smart but claiming they knew what was going to happen. Gox has been having problems for about 10 months, but was still churning along, making millions in commissions, and there was no reason to think they were going under. Only recently after they shut down BTC withdrawls did it looks bad and of course was too late to get out. |

Good question. If it was easier to get money in there, I would have done it already but you have to wire it there and sems like a hassle.

Yes it is absurd. The USA wants its citizens to have zero financial privacy. They would probably revoke physical cash if they could figure out how.

(1) The following statement is true:
Women ≠ Men
(2) The following statements are false:
Men > Women
Women > Men
(3) Anyone who refutes (1) and/or (2) is a fucking retard.
Don't expect most people to understand what you just said. But yes absolutely true, but doesn't work for people who are only capable of black and white thinking. |

It has nothing to do with BTC, it's just an ordinary credit card crime that involved BTC.
Wow some people are so easily confused and that's what the authorities count on. Simple minded people believe eveyrthing they are told. |

Wow OP is a smart dude. With all the nonsense and idiocy on the internet, I'm often impressed by the level of intelligence found on this forum and a few others.

When I make a new wallet, I make 300 new addresses with it..only takes a few seconds. Then I back it up after that and you don't have to do it again, as far as I know. It's my understanding that you only have to back up when you generate a new address and add BTC to it.

This is good but one obstacle in the USA is how to get funds into the other person's bank account. Chase is already making it so you are not able to deposit cash into someone else's account, and other banks are likely to follow.

Google it more...it's not a lot of buys and sells...it is attacks on the website itself.

I was about to bail on Multibit because of some issues, but been using this new version 0.5.16 for a few weeks now and it hasn't given me any problems that past version has. So I'm sticking with it and will donate some more money if it keeps working for me in the future. Actually will go send a few mBTC right now..

Yeah unusually within 24 hrs but has taken days in the past for them to get back to me and get my lost BTC back (from messed up transfer)

I"m sure he is telling the truth. i have made the price go up at mt gox as well. In fact this probably happens a hundred times a day or more.

yes got one this morning but don't remember seeing one in the last couple of months before this
|
|
|

but it should be fairly, if not reasonably, obvious that the "I'll think about it" was merely a brush off.
Of course...god some people are dumb. |

So no one has any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help on this one.

There was a huge seller (1500+ BTC) on Bitstamp at 535. It would have been very easy to close out our shorts at 537 or so IF Bitfinex didn't go down. I shorted at over 680 so I still made a profit when the site came back up but i would have made $8000 more if the site didn't go down.
I didn't lose money but it's not a good feeling to see your profits disappear by the thousands with the site halted while all the other exchanges are operating normally.
