Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

It will be still the flagship. In the 2011 flash crash, people said Gox is done for sure, that was when TradeHill was supposedly the next best thing. But Gox still came out squarely on top. Besides, any time you see even hear the name of any Bitcoin exchanges in the media, it's almost always going to be about Mt.Gox. |

Mtgox is the plow on the front of the train.
Takes a beating pushing snow out of the way... and cows... How well it works affects how fast the train goes... But the train is far bigger than the plow.

MtGox is the only one that takes the banking/legal side of the business seriously (they have to, because they're too big to fly under the radar). I don't really like keeping money in MtGox either, but I really wouldn't want to keep any significant money in any other exchange for longer than absolutely necessary.
This is not to say MtGox can't go instantly tits up and take everyone's money with it. Just that it's significantly less likely than with the smaller exchanges.

This. People are still denying that fact that Mt Gox has a direct effect on the market as a whole. |

I won't be surprised if Gox uses much of it's funds and comes up with a fix for the withdrawal ahead of everybody else.

I would. Withdrawal problems have never bothered them before. Admit it...
A flagship she may be, but unfortunately her crew are barely fit to pilot a rubber dinghy. I Wish GOX would Hurry up and die already. As long as the biggest BTC Exchange is run by incompetent idiots (i'm referring to Gox's activities in general, not specifically this latest debacle), this kinda thing is going to keep happening. |

Aaah, the nostalgia. Back when people still thought mtgox would always find a way to get back on its feet. Not this time, friends They're already 2nd rate in volume, behind bitstamp, btc-e (most of the time) and the Chinese (whose volume is inflated, admittedly), and by this time next year, if they still exist, their volume will be a quarter (or less) of the then leading exchange. |
Not sure which Bitcoin wallet you should use? Get Electrum!Electrum is an open-source lightweight client: fast, user friendly, and 100% secure. Download the source or executables for Windows/OSX/Linux/Android from, and only from, the official Electrum homepage.

You don't stay in business by bad mouthing the reason you have a business to begin with. |

What is this thread even about? Gox was $100-$200 more than all the other exchanges due to withdrawal problems, and now it's OVER $200 LESS than the other exchanges, due to withdrawal problems. And Bitstamp has already announced they'll be resuming BTC withdrawals later today.
Gox has finally goxx'd itself, for good. It's not going to survive this one...

Everyone bitches that Gox is the worst stain upon Bitcoin history, but forget that everyone loved Gox when they proclaimed the price to be an ATH of 1200.
