Hopefully Mark Karpeles can now concentrate on getting things figured out.  His ego has definitely gotten the best of him.  A little reassurance with evidence of a nice fat BtC wallet balance is overdue.

We can only pray he's using Bitcoin Builder to buy back any missing BtC at 70% off.  With his OWN lootcakes!

Plenty of evidence Mark knew his wallet implementation was problematic.

Thanks Josh for all your efforts.  Everything going smoothly for me: deposits, trading, withdrawals = smooth.

Now we need Gox to restart in the next few weeks.

Roy: Thanks for your thoughtful responses. I also feel clarification of regulation is critical to the well being of BtC.  There does seem to be a healthy dialog.

Roy, as a trusted Bitcoin community member do you feel like you would trust Josh with all of your personal data?

FINCEN has no jurisdiction for Cryptocurrency to Cryptocurrency transfers.  Maybe they would like to; but in reality anywhere outside of US it would be absurd.  If FINCEN pursues this then all innovation will move overseas. 

I have no problem with CoinBase's non invasive process.  NO PHOTO ID.  NO Social Security number.  Plus they deal with MY fiat. 

Really... What's going on here Josh!  Your lawyers are misleading you.  Even at conservative CoinBase as a fully certified BtC <> Fiat buyer/seller up to 50 BtC/day: NO PHOTO ID, last 4 digits of SSN#, random identifying questions from a database!  That's ALL.  And that's FULLY FINCEN compliant dealing with US dollars!  Josh, man; I'd love to use your service. 

Required identity is misinterpretation of FINCEN rules.  No fiat is involved whatsoever.  What's going on here?

Hello JD community.  I've been an investor and player at JD nearly since inception.  I've following the latest lively discussion regarding how to remunerate Doog for all his hard work.  First, I appreciate that Doog tries to discuss his thinking with the JD community.  The current system seems to incentivize Doog's sensitivity to investor issues.  The proposed system rightly rewards Doog with a more steady return for his NOW proven genius insight of allowing investors in the first place. For me, which-ever way Doog thinks would be best is aok.

Please keep up the great work Doog & Deb.  I very much enjoy Doge-Dice, JD poker and contests.  I'm not an artist, but everyone should take a look at the great submissions. Such fun!

Best regards: Player/Investor Gerty
