WTS SMC: 100@0.00075 = 0.075 BTC.

What kind of problems?

I did one today for 1000 bucks, went through after about an hour. Obviously not received yet by my bank.

Sending 8.5MH your way for a little while.

And on Full Tilt Poker everybody had $$$ in their accounts. Until they tried to cash out.

There is real money and there is monopoly money. The money you see in MtGox accounts is monopoly money which may or may not be backed by real funds in real bank accounts. There is ample reason to believe Gox does NOT have all the money on their exchange covered.

If Arbitraging Mt.Gox worked, they would NOT be 200$ ahead of everyone else. Arbitration would close that gap in a heartbeat if you could actually get your fiat back out in a somewhat timely manner. For 20-25% people would not mind waiting even a month. The fact that the gap is still widening must mean cash outflow has slowed to a trickle if not dried up entirely. It's market forces, plain and simple, and they cannot be fooled.

Seems like hordes of beggars have made it into their day job (for lack of anything else to do) to sign up for every coin launch giving away coins with no other interest than to dump them as soon as they get them.

Which is the best pool outside of hash.so ?

BTC-e/Stamp are just following Huobi again now.

At that price it's fairly pointless.

Some guy who registered yesterday, and you send coins FIRST ? That's a no-no. If he wants coins, use escrow or let him send first.

Most of the closed banks in Russia did not "crash", they had their license pulled for various official reasons but word on the street is they are cracking down on money laundering. Most businesses around here avoid taxes and the banks are playing their part in that, at a fee of 6-10%.

Selling batch of 100 SMC for 0.099 BTC.

WTS 100 SMC. PM offers.

Good, thanks. I knew BTC-e's bank was somewhere else but not sure where they were regged (Cyprus is always popular with Russians for example)

Is BTC-e registered in Russia or elsewhere?

Successful trade, pleasant to deal with!

What stratum are you connected to precisely? You need stratum+tcp://smc.hash.so:3363
I'm up to 173 right now. I started about 9 hours ago.

PS: actually recommend different pool because hashrate of hash.so is way too high.

I've made 150+ coins from there since this morning with 5MH. They're already in my wallet.

My wallet just reconnected, finally. Not many connections though, we need some more.

Same here. Was working fine but 1 hour ago stopped receiving incoming coins (was getting deposits every few mins from pool) and now no connections available.   

It's very very very (VERY) unlikely to create a valid address with typos.

That said, typing addresses is a bad idea, always copy/paste.

This is assuming the problems at Gox are down to their bank. I think we're beyond that now. Gox can't come out and say "well lads we're terribly sorry but we don't have nearly enough currency anymore to cover all the coins being cashed out from our site" can they? Well they could, but they'd be finished.

Is it a coincidence that the Gox "banking" issues started right about the time a ****load of their funds got seized in the US?
Is it a coincidence that withdrawals are going through perfectly fine from every other exchange including those that are now bigger than Gox?
Is it a coincidence that they have tightened down the verification process, not to mention slowed it down enormously? (In April when they got swamped with signups they were posting that more staff was being hired to handle the inflow, and shortly after verification became very quick indeed - mine took 17 minutes) Now, there is only silence.

The Gox "banking" issues started before summer. I remember cancelling a withdrawal in July after 6 weeks of nothing. In more than half a year, they couldn't find a bank that can handle their volume? Why not multiple banks? Let's not kid ourselves, companies exist that have to make a heck of a lot more payments per day than crypto exchanges, and their banks don't seem to object. That's what a bank is for no? Everything is automated and on the scale of even a small bank the amount of withdrawals Gox would make is insignificant.

Long story short: Gox is most likely a sinking ship, they've ran out of excuses and they are presently in danger of runaway inflation which will lose them the last credibility they have to lose before they implode. The fact that other exchanges are ignoring the price on Gox says a lot about just how little there actually is left.
