Their are heaps of ways... but its 2.57am and I have to get up for work in 3 hours... I'll post up some useful info when I get to work...
This post was just a place holder so I do not forget lol
spk soon.
Cool, I wanna see some useful info. i think currently there is no easy way to do it. oddly enough, it's still a bit of a struggle to even buy bitcoin, especially if you are computer/tech illterate. some may find it hard to believe, but there are many people in the world who struggle to even open a folder on a laptop (my aunt).
Not helpful. |

I was wondering, how can I get money from someone anonymously? I want the method to be really simple for the other person to do.
Should i get a MoneyPak? Or a VISA credit card from here and have them bank deposit? or should get them to buy me a giftcard and then sell the giftcard for BTC?
I want to use the money to shop online on different websites.

Great news!  MtGox became a epic joke long time ago and only greed and stupidity forced people to trade there or send any coin/fiat into this black hole.
MtGox has been operating as one big mixer - closed system with no exit for fiat or BTC.
Interesting where did the coin go and if coin is really gone, how did they manage to lose it?
Makes sense, hope it doesn't turn out to be a huge ponzi. I think it will end up that way. Similarly to how Ultimate Bet turned out for online poker (if you were a part of that) The article that OP FUDster linked to says the have the money and coins: Roger Ver, who declared last July he had looked at Mt. Gox’s books and determined they were indeed still solvent, said he was still optimistic the exchange would fulfil its obligations.This was after the USA Gov raped them, Gox still had enough money. The problems were dealing with the banking industry and very poor coding. That was last July. After that they have a $75million lawsuit from Coinlab ($38million in "stuck" withdrawals + btc fees accrued would almost enable them to settle the lawsuit). |

That is SO TRUE man! You are right, if only there were more exchanges just like Gox that would let us trade in USD and withdraw the USD, we wouldn't rely so heavily on gox.
I guess in a way, gox became a necessary evil. After all, it was the only exchange that attracted all the big investors and allowed people from all over the world to deposit and withdraw fiat.

I don't think it matters much, centralized exchanges will be phased out soon enough anyway with projects like Ethereum, NXT, Mastercoin, and others exactly because of these kinds of issues with central exchanges.
Gox had a good run and will always be noted as the first of its kind, but its time for it to die as it is doing more harm than good anymore to the bitcoin economy.
Yes, Old things have to die for new & better things to take its place. |

You are obviously being a big troll lately... You've already said... I hold no bitcoins or any other coin for that matter anymore. I sold all the coins and wanna get out of this f**ked up scene.... And i really think its not going good the way it is going.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=453230.msg4997987#msg4997987If you don't actually own any Bitcoins and don't want to be in the f**ked scene, then stop being involved by posting FUD. Unless you're trying to drive down the price, all your latest posts seem to suggest that. What FUD? My withdrawal has been stuck with gox for a long time. I am fucking sad here and you think I am trolling? Dude, if you cannot feel others' pains, then don't say anything at all. What happens if everything is fine on Monday? Wait for it. Stop spreading panic. Many people here have funds stuck there. Benson, I am more panicked than most people here. I have a lot of money stuck with gox and I have also lost a lot already. So, don't think that i am trying to spread panic. I am only trying to see what people think will happen if gox shuts down. Will the price hold steady like after SR takedown or would it plummet? |

It is actually a technical glitch. A serious one, but I don't think they've run out of bitcoins, they've just been forced to stop withdrawals until they fix their software, it was doing withdrawals wrong & some people may have exploited that. They probably lost some bitcoins as a result, hopefully they can afford to replace them.
It's not going to kill bitcoin, there are plenty of other exchanges. If you put your life savings into bitcoin then you're a fool. It's gambling, only bet money you can afford to lose.
Again, Do you really think they can fix a REAL technical issue in just 2 days? If they were this competent, wouldn't they have fixed it a long time ago?gox usually fixes all the issues they've had over the years.. what's your point. this time it's "different" . jeez the fudsters. if it's a technical issue and the coins are still there things will be fixed. quite simple And if it really is a technical issue that they can solve, then why did they release an official statement only after so many people started asking them questions on friday? Why couldn't they just have released a press release a long time ago stating they are facing problems so they would like to stop withdrawals temporarily. |

This is some speculation that MtGox does not have adequate BTC on hand to cover a significant volume of bitcoin wallet withdrawals.
By halting withdrawals it buys them time to (among other things) either; a.) increase their bitcoin balance, b.) come up with another excuse not to give customers access to their bitcoins, or c.) hope that this 2-day delay will somehow slow the bleeding once they re-enable withdrawals on Monday.
That is what most of us are worried about. IF mtgox does declare that it cannot continue operations, does that mean all our money goes down with them? Or would they be professional enough to give us back what they owe us? |

For the big operation, It usually cannot be fully solved within 2 days, but providing the progression about following up.
Real players do not select mtgox as their primary, they possibly select bitstamp or campbx for fiat withdrawal.
But bitstamp doesn't let people from all around the world withdraw fiat, right? Unlike mtgox did. |

As we all know by now, mtgox is in big trouble. They say they will release a new statement on 10th Feb 2014, which most likely would be "we have sent all the stuck bitcoins back, but fiat withdrawals still won't go through".
What if, none of the future btc withdrawals don't work either? And mtgox finally admits to going belly up, like 2 months later?
What would happen when mtgox finally admits that it is in big trouble and can't serve us anymore? Would the bitcoin prices fall sharply AGAIN? Or would the prices hold steady (because its not like all exchanges will shutdown).
What I personally think will happen on Monday is, mtgox will release the "stuck" bitcoins back to the owners, and the respective owners will again try to withdraw all their btc holdings because not a lot of people trust mtgox anymore. And what happens when mtgox again receives thousands of withdrawal requests on monday? The coins get "stuck" again (i.e. if it indeed is a technical issue)!
Do you really think that they can fix a REAL technical issue in just 2 days ? If they were that competent, wouldn't they have fixed the technical glitch a long time ago?
I have some money held up with mtgox, and I really do hope that i do get my coins back, but I like to live in the reality. I know, there is something BIG going on inside mtgox - Either they are keeping the coins for themselves as part of an elaborate ponzi scheme OR they are in big trouble with the authorities and hence, can't release any coins until the authorities let them do so.
Either way, this DOES NOT LOOK GOOD. Like many will agree, its best that mtgox pays us back what they owe us and shuts down for good. Because all these price fluctuations caused by the mtgox uncertainity is making many new small-time investors lose their life savings.
