No, but I use f.lux for nighttime computer use. My eyelids thank me every night.

Anyways, I do not think mt gox is freezing the funds just to obey the law. Because they are already breaking the law by not collecting and verifying names and addresses of every customer.
My guess is that Mt. Gox only transfers up to $1,000 a day, to stay under the limit in which you are considered a Money Services Business. If you transfer more than 1,000 per day to a single individual, you must register but until then, no registration is necessary and KYC rules do not apply(as far as my understanding goes) http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=158384,00.html

Witch! Witch! Burn the witch!
These are serious accusations in a community built on trust. I hope you have more to back that up than a half-assed hunch.

So what are you hiding from us, mtgox ?
Just because he doesn't answer every question and every beckoned call, doesn't mean he acts like a scammer or is "hiding" anything. What else do you want him to say? He's given you all the info he knows about Baron and the transactions up to date. Shadow, did you ever think that it's none of your damn business, anyway? Would you expect any other financial institution to inform you on the matters of another person's account? We're lucky he's even keeping us posted how he is and not only speaking with Baron privately. Did you ever think that Mt. Gox has a life/business/family to soak up his time instead of sitting on the bitcoin forum answering all of your questions? Some people.... It's been a fucking week. He's told you all he knows about Barons transactions, and is trying to reach Baron further. He reiterated this morning what he knows and what he's trying to do. Give it some time. Go outside.

Yep you are like many others boiling frogs, sorry. Like many others, you can't see the danger until it hit you.
Of course, because anyone who disagrees with your sentiments must be a lost cause. A decentralized exchange could be like the bitcoin concept. No one to hold your funds. No one to freeze your account. No one to prevent you to trade. No one to rule on your money. It is all about the bitcoin way, no?
Again, how would you do something like this with real cash, that is any different than a peer to peer exhcange? No one to hold your funds? Are my dollar bills going to transfer themselves? Fly in the air to the recipient? Oooh magic! Now I'm interested. You don't trust Mt. Gox, that's fine. I don't really care, because you're not forced to use him and it doesn't effect me anyways. Bitcoins decentralized nature is what makes it great, but cash isn't decentralized. So if you want to exchange your bitcoins for cash, get used to the fact that there will be rules. How lenient or not those rules are depends on who the trade is with and where they live. You expect everything done your way, but the world's economy, laws and regulations aren't setup for that

Paypal blocked his account, shadow business practices, fees, limits, hacking, user account locking, etc.
What's next?
Time to the Bitcoin community to code a decentralized exchanger service.
What does his paypal being blocked have to do with anything? It was blocked because users scammed Mt. Gox, not the other way around. And how dare he set fees and limits for his services! I want everything free and at everyone else's expense too! P2P exchanges for other currencies are already happening. How would you create a "decentralized exchanger service" that's different? The money has to come from somewhere, meaning people in "meat space", as nanaimogold would put it, have to associate themselves with that money and those transactions. It is probably in Mt. Gox's best interest to adhere to precautions in order to try to stay within law and keep the law off his back. If you don't want to obey some rules and regulations, you might as well keep your bitcoins and never exchange them, because once you exchange it into cold hard cash, you'll be met with regulation, from Mt. Gox or otherwise.

I guess this guy is trying to pass a subtle message just in case any exchanger "thinks" about froze his account somewhere. In Soviet Russia, exchanger don't shut you down, you shut down exchanger!

I just get used to the fact that every thread on this forum goes offtopic sooner or later...
When you get the same few people filling up 27 fucking pages on one thread, I guess I'd run out of things to talk about too.

I didn't mean you could pay anon's paycheck, just that the news platform known that anon would use, takes bitcoin donations. However they use it is up to them, however I doubt they don't communicate/organize and doubt they wouldn't share the wealth if it did build.

When organizations like Openleaks and Anonymous begin accepting bitcoin, it's impossible to ignore that bitcoin has successfully taken root and will not die. This year is going to be big.

Haven't had a chance to use the service yet, but I hope to soon, possibly today. Great idea. As others have said, thanks for filling a niche.
FYI, Dominos now has a large pizza with two toppings for $5.99 with the code 9159 at checkout online. YMMV. They had this deal earlier in the month and decided to bring it back.
Good deal and good opportunity to try out this system.

Another recommendation for Keepass. You can also use Lastpass, for tighter web integration and form fill options.

Policing transactions would never work without further proof of theft. Let's say an individual with a high reputation, here and on other exchange websites, decides to make a trade for 10,000 BC with a newcomer. Later, for whatever reason, he decides he wants his coins back, even though both parties made good on their side of the deal. He decides to call this transaction stolen to the forum and friends, and tells everyone to watch for the transaction.The legitimate receiver of the coins, goes to the exchange to get his money, only to find out his funds are BLOCKED, because the person with the higher reputation is claiming they're stolen.
We'll be having scams on both side of the board, and just because someone is more well-known only makes it easier for them to scam someone and gain the trust of the peers with their argument. You CAN'T begin to play judge here, or you're going to run into a very slippery slope, with anyone crying "Witch" whenever they want their money back.
These might be special circumstances, and of course special circumstances in the future, but this can't become the way to deal with things.

Madhatter is probably one of the most trustworthy here, not to mention one that has a lot reputation and business to lose if he's found to be a scam.
I'm sure your questions will be answered, just give it some time. He's one of the last people here I'd figure to rip you off.
