Do you really believe in that?...
Personally,I dont.
In the post,tweets are from 4th March,so it may be more about the 200K BTC.
And even though they were from today,it's just tweets.Anyone could tweet them.
For the moment,there is nothing to write a post about or speculate.

This is Mtgox issue,not bitcoin.
Despite all the bad news (china,russia,shrem,mtgox..) BTC remained strong and has only moved for a few %.
Actually,all these news are good for bitcoin.With BTC gaining maturity,all those fake developpers,investors and scammers are getting out of the game.

I really liked Mtgox on 2011/2012.I cant deny they were one of the first to provide API and other PHP codes to accept BTC.They really were useful for BTC to grow.
But what they did these last 12 months was worst cos it was when BTC neeeds real and serious entrepreneurs and investors.
As we may all know,Bitcoin (like any market) is very news sensitive.
So I think the sooner mtgox page is turned,the better it is for BTC.

What about my SEPA withdrawal from Dec 20th?!
No news about them!!

Mtgox can only run insolvent!


I see here and there people trying naively to send fiat to mtgox to take advantage of the situation and buy BTCs at a low price.
Those people should be thinking about it twice.
Mtgox is in trouble and been trying to hide it for almost one year now.
Here are some facts you should consider first:
-U.S. Department of Homeland Security had seized $2.9 million from Mt. Gox’s Dwolla account.

-$2.1 seized in Mt. Gox’s Wells Fargo accounts.
Mtgox failed registration as a Money Service Business and has never recovered from that.
This was a personal involvement from MArk Karpeles and the seized account belongs to Sigum Mutulum,which is...mtgox...
-Coinlab has filed a 75 millions $ lawsuit against mtgox.

-Mtgox has been involved in Silk Road bust and I guess is still working with the feds on that side.
http://thegenesisblock.com/mt-gox-seizures-linked-silk-road-fed-testimonies/
-According to what is transaction malleability and how Silk road 2 got hacked,I really believe mtgox lost a lot of money before realizing.And knowing how They poorly managed their business,it's highly possible they only realized when they started running out of BTC.
I think they were losing BTCs since a long time ago but only found the breach these days.I can even imagine them suspecting the staff when they started missing BTC with no reasons...
On the legal side,Im sure mtgox had and is having a lot of issues with LE.
They are definetly involved with investigations centered on Silk Road,Bitinstant Transfers (Shrem's case) and Liberty Reserve.
Dont forget they were allowing to refund your account with Liberty Reserve (which was great for the young BTC currency at that time) with no verification.
Look at the last 12 months:Mtgox ran from an issue to another.Has always been lying or putting the blame on something else.
Plus,they have a bunch of money/BTC to pay back with lawsuits and seizures.They probably lost a lot of BTC with their poorly customized software too.
Do you really think Mtgox would tell you the truth?Or would give any real and serious answer?
So I think for all these facts,Mark Karpeles has been sinking mtgox ship and is already working on his new 3D company and his "bitcoin café".
I didnt find any reason they would resume their service and come back legit.
So please bear this in mind before sending your money to the Titanic...

Thanks again.
The server was set to CET time so I changed it to UTC.
Bitcoind kept on showing -2 timeoffset.
I stopped the server,emptied ~/.bitcoin folder and copied back the wallet.
Now it seems to be working.
Im waiting for the blockchain to sync.
Thank you for your help!

It takes a few minutes/hours depending on the workflow,the hour (CET time for Bitstamp),the day(weekend...),etc...
No need to go further

Hi again,
Now I'm having a "timeoffset" issue.Balance is still showing 0.
bitcoind getinfo
{
    "version" : 80600,
    "protocolversion" : 70001,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 0.00000000,
    "blocks" : 138046,
   "timeoffset" : 2,
    "connections" : 16,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 1690895.80305239,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1373767421,
    "keypoolsize" : 101,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "errors" : ""
}

Never seen that before.I googled it and there is nothing about it.
It may have to do with peer time and the block not getting validated.
I may also be wrong...
Do you have any idea?
Or even places where to ask?
Or maybe,should I post it on github?

Thank you.
Actually Im working on a dedicated server with ubuntu.
I moved the .bitcoin folder and and reinstalled bitcoind (with --purge).Now I'm not getting any errors.But I have to waith until it synchs.
I will let you know.Im affraid my wallet is corrupted anyway...
But first of all, THANK YOU.

Hi,
Im having issues with restoring my wallet.dat.
I only copied a "raw" wallet.dat before reinstalling the system so after reinstalling bitcoind,I copied my wallet.dat to ~/.bitcoin/ folder.
However I keep on getting this error:

bitcoin server starting
root@Alphaprod_44:~#

************************
EXCEPTION: NSt8ios_base7failureE
CDataStream::read() : end of data
bitcoin in AppInit()

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::ios_base::failure'
  what():  CDataStream::read() : end of data

I've already tried deleting all the files in ~/.bitcoin/ but I still get the same error.
did you ever go through this kind of error?
Can someone help me?
I dont remember if the wallet is encrypted (and if so,I use the same passphrase but I dont see how/where to type it for the moment).
Im even starting to doubt if my wallet isnt corrupted...
thanks!
