Thanks, Imperi. I think I know why I was rejected now.

Really? By what definition of 'anarchist'?
Excluding the anti-bitcoin trolls here, I'd say most of the the rest would be supportive of the intrinsic aims of the bitcoin system. Which are to provide a means of freely trading independent of governmental inspection and control.

Are you going to claim that is _not_ a fundamentally anarchistic objective?

Remember, 'anarchism' does not imply public disorder. It implies absence of a centralized means of _enforcing_ (someone's idea of) order.

A society can be both 'anarchistic' and ordered, peaceful, prosperous and stable. It all depends on the people involved, and their ideals.

so, 48,685 people are not serious about bitcoin, but maybe at most 12,315 are serious.

less than 20% are serious.

hrrrmmmm.

1222 confirmed, 426 refused, 10667 pending........


what about the other 48,685 accounts???

Very amusing to see people all excited about a virtual currency independent of government, then want to use the legal system to recover their losses when things go wrong.

Lets just review some basic facts.
The very existence of present national governments depends on their ability (in cahoots with the banks) to create and control the (fiat) currency universally used for commerce. Undermine that fiat, fractional reserve money machine, and all current governments would rapidly go pooof and vanish in a cloud of spitting, self-devouring chaos.

And this is _why_ we all like the fundamental concept of Bitcoin, because we hate the government and everything it stands for, right?

Except... the legal system is created, maintained and enforced by government. It is _part_ of the government.

It's true there's a long, long way to go before Bitcoin or anything like it makes an actual dent in government power. But the principle and intent are there. So going crying to the lawyers about your Bitcoin losses has a pretty strong small of hypocrisy.

On the other hand, starting a class action suit might be a good way to find out what the establishment wants with regard to Bitcoin. See how much official cooperation or obstruction you get.

All that I can say about that is take a hint from your great-grandmother and learn a bit more distrust of banking institutions.  I had a trade account at MtGox as well, but I have less than 5% of my bitcoins holdings even exposed to the Internet in total.  MtGox had less than 2%.  Yes, it sucks.  But never risk what you can't afford to lose, and there is no logical reason to keep a vast sum of coins at MtGox, or any other exchange, unless you intended to risk them in speculative plays.

He's talking about the email that redirects you to the "Submit Proofs Page" I believe.

I filled in the blanks and it says I'd get a recovery email asking me to provide proof but I aint got that email? Can you help?

I'm beside myself with worry here like a little bitch thats lost her knickers in the sandpit.

kthxbye

1)  Bitcoin transfers are cheaper.

2)  Bitcoin gift transfers do not require that both parties are registered with the same website.

3)  Bitcoin does not discriminate against users who live an certain countries.

4)  It's impossible to violate the terms of service or policies of Bitcoin.

5)  If you are from certain countries, using Bitcoin doesn't contribute to the tax base of your perceived (true or not) oppressor or occupier nation.

6)  Bitcoin transactions between two people can occur off of the Internet altogether, as there is no server necessary to actually perform the transaction.

7)  If you are the vendor, Bitcoin won't take back your sales revenue because someone says their account was hacked or because they claimed that you defrauded them; nor can Bitcoin reverse any transactions for any  reason without your consent.

 Bitcoin won't submit tax reporting on you if you exceed $600 in sales in a single year.

But you're right, there is no obvious benefit to using Bitcoin over Paypal for legitimate transactions, to you.

It's got to be only since the rollback was complete and they started processing account claims. I've got a log from the past several hours if anyone wants it.

Also, this was just asked:

"<MagicalTux> [13:18:59] <Ooofo> MagicalTux, on these corrupt histories, do you at least know what the balances are supposed to be? <- yes"

So he knows what the balances are, it's just sounds like accounts with really old early transactions don't add up to the balances. Thus he needs to process them differently or manually correct them, I assume.

Phew. That's quite a bit less disparaging than the thought that people could lose money because of corrupted histories.

If you were there, did you ask how many days they have known this?

Well, I ended up getting the dreaded rejection letter.  I just resubmitted with ip, account balance, dwolla account number, and dwolla to mtgox deposit history (date and time).  Hopefully all that, in addition to using the same email I use with my mtgox account, and confirming my 21 character mixed password will be enough to claim my bitcoins.

I just made a Subscribe by Email link for anyone who wants to get it by email.   Go to http://BoxRead.com and click...

So lets see if I have this straight:

1) Everyone complains how easily MtGox got hacked.

2) Everyone is trying to claim their account back with least possible information possible.

Conclusion: Facepalm
