OK, it's me. First, I am a miner with ~700 MHash/s. I do it on two servers that I just added two 5830s (first server) and one 6850 (the other one). Those boxes are not mission critical and would run 24/7 either way. So my investment was just a mere 300 EUR in the cards. And a lot of electricity I don't have to pay for Second, I plan to open a German spice webshop with a friend who sells spices (mostly saffron). And I will be accepting Bitcoins!

Have you already tried to contact they're suppoort? They ansewered me quite fast, last time it happend.
Yes, they answered after 24 hours. They demand my photo ID. Seems to be Mt.Gox started to gather personal info and photo IDs of traders by random locking accounts and taking money as a hostage. I have strange conversation with support. First they states: Thank you for contacting us. In response to an increased incidence of phishing and hacking attempts made against Mt.Gox and its users, stricter security precautions have been implemented to protect our users and their funds. Should suspicious activity be detected in relation to an Mt.Gox account, the ability to withdraw funds will be temporarily suspended until it can be confirmed that the owner of the account is in fact still in control.--This... "precautions" startted apply after 09/12/2011. --And it's lie, they fully blocked my account for 7 hours, and after 7 hours they blocked withdraw only. Then I refuse provide my ID without strong evidence of "phishing and hacking attempts" they change their mind: The indicated phishing and hacking attemps were not performed by you but by other users trying to access your account. This is only a security measure to ensure the rightful owner is trying to access and withdraw from the account.-- They refuse any compromise that I suggested and they refuse to return my money. Newbies be careful! If you want to trade on Mt.Gox you must provide your photo IDs as soon as possible to prevent loosing profit or money by sudden lockout your account, and if you want trade anonymously (as I did) please consider another trading place.

I'm a light user of Bitcoin, very interested in how it works both from a developer's technical view and a social view.

Hi,
Been lurking for a long time. I've also been pool mining for a few months now. Finally decided to register so I could contribute.

How can they look at my picture and certify it's me? With Netteler, they asked for my drivers license upon registration on the site, and it's quite legit, since it's a legal way to prove your ID so they could send me their credit card. Although I agree that MtGox should assume the same level of responsibility, I find it illogical to make that to unlock one account instead of making it mandatory in registration. To be honest, I wouldn't trust that method: if their database was hacked once, what would happen if the hacker had a picture of my drivers license?

They can request another photo ID and compare photos, and they demand utility bills. Although I agree that MtGox should assume the same level of responsibility, I find it illogical to make that to unlock one account instead of making it mandatory in registration.
They doesn't have Terms of use and Privacy Policy, I request Privacy policy twice, first they ignore my question, and then I repeat my question they say: We are a secure verified company. Please read the following announcement. https://mtgox.zendesk.com/entries/20395323-mt-gox-k-k-tibanne-now-verified-by-verisignBut it only confirms company identity and properly SSL encryption nothing more. They not promise anything and guarantee nothing. https://knowledge.verisign.com/support/trust-seal-support/index?page=content&id=AR1367&actp=LIST&viewlocale=en_USTo be honest, I wouldn't trust that method: if their database was hacked once, what would happen if the hacker had a picture of my drivers license?
I refused provide any personal information without any guarantee and properly Privacy Policy and loose my $160.

Well i am Adrian from Venezuela and i was just joining, after lurking for quite some time, to give positive feedback to Jeremy West from SpendBitcoin. Used his services to buy a 40$ giftcard, and i was amazed at how fast it all was, after the 12hs that is (12hs for confirmation purposes). Thanks for everything dude!, great service

Hello!
I'm unabashedly an alter-ego. Sometimes I want to say things that are too dark, off-color, or politically unpopular to say as myself.
Despite my name, this account isn't to reply to myself to create false consensus. I only use it for anonymity.
