He's not being ignorant.  He's right, people need to read back, even just 2 pages, and he'll find the answer instead of being lazy.

What happens to be people who put money in on the last day of the round?  They won't get their money back right?  So then someone did in fact "run with your money."

If you're trying to be legit, I'd suggest you take ponzis off your list of reviewed sites.  They inherently only last for a short period of time, and someone is going to get screwed one day if you keep recommending ponzis.  Just some advice.

Kyrashi this is why I hope Gox itself gets Goxxed.  They need to make an example out of Gox, that just because you're dealing in Bitcoin doesn't mean you will not be held up to the standard of the laws.

I'll be honest.  With the recent dowturn in BTC it has made me nervous about gambling in BTC.  I have switched to fiat.  The problem in BTC is that I had 1 BTC on a gambling site and the value of the 1 BTC went down so much, it's like you need to double your btc just to break even.  Once it gets more solid I still think it's great for gambling and other transactions.  But now Im counting my blessings I had little money at bitbook because of this issue lately. (and I in fact still can't get on the site)

He said something about how you have to deposit to new addressees now.  I'm worried for you that means maybe they don't have access to the old addresses.  Not sure but look back in this thread, a couple pages ago.

I don't see how they could "no longer exist."  Or do you  mean they are somewhere that no one can access?

Having the same issue and tried everything.  Can't get onto the site.  I'm in incognito mode.  WTH is this?  Is site still ok or is he saying to withdraw everything?

I thought one of the benefits of Bitcoin was that all transactions are final.  I'm not expecting to ever have someone be able to randomly "cancel" a transaction.  I guess other than some sort of involuntary fork.

JEremy, I am skeptical of your story, and always have been.  Post the evidence that it was Bitbook who did this or stop with your nonsense.  You shoul dhave a screenshot of your bet history, showing the money you won, and then do a shot showing your current balance and that you didn't withdraw the btc to some other account.

I know, he does seem to be at least trying to act like this is no big deal.  Well, Mark, this isn't Magic cards we're talking about here.  And if Gox tried to hide the fact that they were in trouble and still solicited funds, from depositors or investors, it's game over.

I'm assuming it's an attack of some kind.  But, I don't see what the problem is of posting more updates about what's going on.  It would take 5 minutes.

No, I do care.  Sites like Bitbook get away with not providing ANY info about themselves.  That's what happened with StakeBTC.  They got a lot of BTC, then when someone tried to get a big deposit they just decided, well it's not worth it, let's take the BTC and run.  THat is a major issue with BTC used for gambling.

There are posts all over the place.  I think it might be explained in the Meta section.  Bascially make some posts and browse, and it updates once every week or two.  What I'm saying is that there's nothing you can do today to increase your activity right now.

It was on zerohedge.  I think they get their material from the news feeds, reuters, AP etc.  I hadn't seen anything about this anywhere other than there.

Zerohedge is pretty reliable as far as I have seen.

This is just out:

FBI Launches Probe Into "Criminal Violations" By Mt.Gox


*FBI SAID TO BE PROBING POSSIBLE CRIMINAL VIOLATIONS BY MT. GOX
*U.S. SAID TO REQUEST DOCUMENTS FROM BITCOIN SERVICE PROVIDERS
*MANHATTAN U.S. ATTORNEY SAID TO BE REVIEWING MT. GOX SHUTDOWN


Finally, I guess the authorities couldn't turn a blind eye any longer.

I've seen people with multiple entries in the 3 ticket tournies, such as j3.  Is that allowed?

He never should have admitted that document was more or less true.  Operating in the negative for years is grounds for being sued, possibly personally.

Also this statement: any BTC I own personally were on MtGox...notice the way he sayd "were" on Mt. Gox.  Meaning...Gox is no longer there, and the coins are no longer in his control?

Wonder if it was a type of scam to try to get people to deposit and then he'd shut down.  You really shouldn't leave people's BTC hanging on the site with no real timeframe for re-activating it.

The tennis rule is not confusing.  It is clear.  You gotta learn the rules before you take your complaints public.  The O/U and the spread won't count if it's not completed.  It makes perfect sense too.

Anyone have Devvarman ML though? That would have sucked to be on Del Potro ML.
