Good that law enforcement does their job efficiently.(Utterly lamentable that substances are outlawed, creating an oppressed situation for mankind, leading to victimless crimes and criminals, more law enforcement and more oppression) Them... FBI can already sell? Thats one of the sellers not the admin of silk road. Ulbricht case will take longer i guess, as he is accused of attempted murder, he just won't plead guilty and go to the guillotine.

It's unfortunate that new adopters typing "bitcoin exchange" into Google will still see Gox at the top of the search results. That's exactly what I did back in April/May (although I was partly influenced in sending them my cash on the basis that they were the biggest guys around at the time and claiming to have had 80% of the market a few months earlier, a claim which they obviously can't now make).
n.b. I'm now on Bitstamp
It's a pity we can't warn new folk to avoid Mt.Gox. How can they best be warned that they'll get their USD stuck there (EDIT: and now maybe their BTC too) so that "I can't get my money back" doesn't become a story which the mainstream media pick up on, thereby hurting Bitcoin's credibility in the eyes of the public/future investors?

I think this will be a blitzkrieg. Also they are after Black Market Reloaded sellers http://m.ice.gov/news/releases/1311/131107newark.htm?f=m

Surely it is 100% possible that at any moment, one or more of the big exchanges like Bitstamp, will have their bank accounts frozen for any reason, causing the same effect as Gox. Nobody knows what goes on behind-the-scenes, never assume anything!

Its fairly common in open source to expect a degree of intelligence and hope anyone below it will learn from their mistakes, I'd swear some projects even leave in clunky stuff to encourage folks to learn some coding to fix them. As Bitcoin gets more popular it will go further and further down the idiot scale and owners of virus infected plague pits will loose a lot of coins so for now the rough edges on the ease of use and gox will just singe these liabilities before they get honey glazed and spit roasted from having to be responsible for their own security. Shesh, Harsh words stan.distortion. So you are sounding that even a pc is only to be used by the techno-elite. I think the protocol/environment around bitcoin needs to mature to the point where it is easy to use as an iPad. strawbs, I recommend people start on Bitstamp, and if they feel like being "Mr Monopoly Day-Trader", they can switch to gox with a small portion they don't need 'right away' ( as in, eeek, gotta pay my rent...where is all my fiat ). I think despite some problems, it performs better under stress than bitstamp.

I get the impression China is going to wait till after the weekend to reach 2000. It looks like end of week profit being realised. Which could trigger something interesting... PS Agreed stan.distortion, it is still a technical hurdle to have a secure wallet. But good that this is being tackled. Update: Just checking the 24 hr high low of Gox. high: 338.35 low: 281.00and another update: mtgox | high: | 338.35 | low: | 281.00 | btc-china | high: | 1994.80 | low: | 1712.90 | bitstamp: | high: | 319.23 | low: | 277.78 |
