I don't get it. Where's Willy getting his USD? The first time around he used $10 million. He's not selling back the BTC or the gap wouldn't have increased to $30. He'd have to be an idiot to deposit USD into his account. The only explanation is he has $10 million + USD in his account. That's ridiculous. 

Nice. Always good to have more competition, but I'm ok with slow and limit for 3%.

What are the advantages of bitsimple? Looks like they're taking 4%.

What will be interesting to me is when Mtgox hits an ATH how will media perceive it? Will it start looking like $1250* (with an astericks) by it like it's been taking steroids or the public will eat it up as is. And if they don't understand the withdrawals problems would that be good for BTC in general just to receive that publicity? Will anyone here even care?

I can just see the interview:

Interviewer: So what does it feel like to be the person buying BTC ATH?

Guy: Was just trying take my BTC to another exchange and withdraw, Boss.

Still waiting for Mtgox to break 900 

Yea really. F*CK You Gox! And all you assholes keeping the price 50 above the next closest exchange. Why do you guys keep buying at that stupid price and let it drop.

Huobi under 4.7! 

Come on Mtgox catch up!!! 

What is wrong with BTC China?

Edit: Oh there we go. Must be refreshing late.

Still at 4814 though.

At this rate, Mtgox is going to reach ATH when all the other exchanges will still be at 1000. 

I was always under the impression "Volume" on both sites was calculated as the last 24 hours adjusted in real time which should be the same. I expect i286 to refresh earlier than bitcoin charts, but not off by 200. Hmm...

Anyone know if the mtgox volume on i286 (1460) is correct or bitcoin chart (1691)?  

That would be the typical business way of thinking. But I'm hoping there are some businesses who will think outside of the box and take that risk eventually. Find suppliers who are also willing to take BTC. Then use that as a marketing strategy for themselves and BTC. Of course merchants accepting BTC at the POS is still a step in the right direction.

Not to mention they should "list the odds of actually mining a block using their AMD cards." Misleading...

There's always 2 things to watch for when a new merchant jumps on the bandwagon:

1. Are they using a 3rd party processor?
2. Are they advertising it on their homepage? Now the Tigerdirect.com one is absolutely huge. But is Tigerdirect.com get less traffic than Overstock? But if you don't take the time to understand the refund policies, you may just stick with credit card if you're not interested in BTC.

What's the definition of a "down" day?

No, but I'm 95% fiat haha 

Buy to Mtgox $955? Because of Google? Come on now.... 

What's better than going to the Super Bowl? Paying for your tickets with BTC to go to the Super Bowl! 

I was just thinking that http://trading.i286.org/ needs a chatroom. The trolling would be much better than BTC-E.
