If you go to school in japan, then you could just open a personal japanese bank account (so long as you have a studnet visa).

Might be a bit late to do the paperwork (school start next week). MtGox should fix their banking issue before I can get a student visa. |

I suspect people are more concerned about getting their money out at all, than just waiting a month. Why else would you pay a 20% premium?
If you were buying coins now, you wouldn't be wiring funds to Gox and paying a 20% premium. The only people who would pay that are those who (unfortunately) have fiat funds there waiting already.
Also, Gox would be for traders. Try trading on Stamp, it is hard. You could keep your coins on Stamp and trade with some on Gox as there is the action. I trade regularly on Stamp, without any major issues. TBH, it tends to be a bit less erratic, IMO. Try making trades of +300 coins at Bitstamp without MAYOR slippage and then report back please... Even on Gox, the slippage is a huge profit killer for traders - on Bitstamp is just impossible to daytrade for anyone with a little more than play money. |

Just a random question here. Since Gox supports several currencies, do those markets also adhere by the going exchanges rates of the dollar and the euro? For example, the dollar drops versus the euro one day, would the Gox market reflect this or would there be a significant delay of a few days?

Does this graph indicate that the last 48 hours was a mini-bubble? What do you guys think?  |

Gox charges flat 2.5% "from their bank" to exchange, though as was pointed out earlier in another thread, often the spread between difference currencies on gox is <2.5% |

You can play the arb yourself sometimes, it has made money ie the GBP or EUR asks don't react as fast as USD market sometimes so I like to park currencies across usd/eur/gbp for those opportunities  |

That is nice to see, thanks for the post. Has Gox addressed this publicly though? Why just in a thread (and who are those characters? Any Gox affiliation?) |

While they have been improving, Gox has always been bad addressing the public and communicating. It is like they freeze up and get scared as to how people will react until finally it is too big of an issue and MUST be addressed. Doing this instead of having relieved the pressure earlier when the community wasn't as pissed. At least it always feels like that. Or... they just don't care. haha |
