Bitcoin will be either shut-down or it will be overtaken and used as long ago announced one world currency. There's no other outcome, IMO.

I see the beginnings of a remake...

A plucky, middle aged man of indeterminable foreign origin opens a fictional stock exchange. Follow him on this raucous adventure as he gets busted by the State's Attorney. He can't afford the $50,000 for his own attorney so he decides to go at it "Pro Se." Will his hail mary "It's all just a MMO" specious defense keep him out of the slammer or will he be doing hard time? Find out in

Why should mpex be trusted? GLBSE just closed down.

Well, I wasn't sure if it had been tried. Since it was not written explicitly. At least, I thought. "the owner of the contact address does not respond", almost explicit...

I've learned not to think too much for other people. Especially when free coins are involved.

Hi, here's something perfectly useless and banal I've spent fifty seconds on (only because I am retarded, normally it would take five). I refuse to put any thought into this (or anything else), but please consider me for a large windfall (at least comparatively to my meager means).

They both used Bootstrap, like almost every other failed BTC venture website that the retarded forum population wasn't slamming for "bad design"?

Don't post off-topic replies.  This thread is about GLBSE history and not child porn, spam, how better other exchanges are than the now dead GLBSE.

It was not until I mentioned my GLBSE account hadn't been emptied, hours later, and was kind of curious about why, that it was actually compromised and emptied. I had changed my passwords far prior to it being emptied, but GLBSE didn't have login sessions expire back then, and sessions weren't logged out when I changed the password, which is just bad.

How do we know which email address is associated with that public key?

the little scammer to sleep nervously thinking that a giant nasty, hairy, troglodyte is coming for them

Can you for once shut the fuck up with the advertisement for MPEx?
It's like listening to skipping record and it's getting old.
I understand that all this is making you feel fuzzy and warm inside and that kicking GLOBSE when it is down has inflated your ego, but it also makes you look like a baby that took candy from another baby and now wants everyone to know how good it tastes.

I have a brilliant business plan and here it is:

I'd like to buy 10,000 BTC worth of ASIC hardware and mine on it like everyone else.

I'm really good at mining, like f'in tits out awesome at it.

I have a 5970 that generates bitcoin like all day.

I also am probably like the best video game player I know.

Once I start mining bitcoins like a mf'in boss I'm going to start the new GLBSE, except it's going to be called...wait for it...wait for it...

G to the L to the B to the S to the mofo down home bustin' EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

That's right yo, fat stacks and back cracks.

I know I'm going to rule at running an exchange for a few reasons:

1. I'm the best miner in the world
2. I read some shit about picking stocks and it's easy.

So I wanted to make this fair to my bitcoin bros and brought this here first before it blows up.

This offer expires in 72 hours.

After that I feel sorry for you guys because I'm going to mine every coin out there before you.

Peace.

This is the complete trading and dividend history for GLBSE since the initiation of 2.0.

Trading History
Dividend History

The only problem is it does not include IPO sales as the twitter feed never seemed to record these trades.

I also estimated the revenue generated by GLBSE from this data assuming 0.5% trading fee since inception and 8 BTC listing fee for each security.  It is not completely accurate as some of the listings rolled over from GLBSE 1.0 and the fees associated with transferring assets between individuals and the IPO sales is not included.

From 4/2/2012 to 10/4/2012:
187 contract listings
66519 total trades
6006474 total contract volume
35911.75164BTC total volume
2823.6BTC total revenue from trading fees
1496BTC total revenue from listing fees.
4319.7BTC total revenue.

Nefario never goes in MPEX threads and calls them criminals or scammers for example in response to the same words from MPOE-PR.

Gox fulfilled the tiny orders I made correctly, they were placed higher than the current lowest ask at that time (and so were never intended to be sold immediately). It was shortly after having completed these orders that I noticed the missing 8.08 BTC. I brought up the history on my account, and saw that the 8.08 had been sold into the bid wall. I looked back to the browser tab where I had been placing my tiny trades. Those who are familiar with the mtgox.com web platform will know; if you haven't refreshed the page or browsed away, then the values in the fields corresponding to the most recent trade you made will still be in those fields (except the "Amount of BTC to BUY" field, which usually, but not always, becomes blanked). The evidence of my most recent trade was still there, being as it was that I hadn't refreshed or browsed away. And it was one of the tiny 0.0205 BTC values that was represented, nothing remotely corresponding to 8.08 BTC.

I am beyond mad with these people. I am genuinely not sure how to handle this, because they continually deny that this phenomenon is taking place at all, and yet offer no reasonable explanation for what is actually happening.

mtgox makes much more than satoshidice, basically gox makes 1% of the monthly volume, the volume is usually at least 1M BTC per month, some times more than that,
I've seen several 2M months. so gox makes at least 10k BTC per month. satoshidice makes about 2k-3k BTC per month and they depend on luck, they almost went bankrupt at the start, and had to raise house edge significantly. mtgox has two employee though, also they pay for pretty good hosting.

This is disappointing especially as they were represented at the Bitcoin2012 London conference and all seemed to be going well for the director of the company... hope people get their BTC back.... time to switch to PPC i think
