Explanation

In other news, 24 hours and still no sign of my 10.8 BTC from Gox withdrawal.

Is it worth to open a ticket or should I just wait?

Have a look here: http://skanner.net/MtGox/mtgox_tx.php ...and you will know.

Yep, it's there. Apparently it is large transaction size and can't be processed.

Do I need to contact Gox to double spend it or they'll do it on their own?

Yes.
If you transfer it to your own adress you might have the time to wait and observe what's happening - still I would recommend you heading for a ticket
If you transfer it to another exchange for trading purpose - I would get me a ticket as soon, as possible!

Bitcoin Foundation should do some damage control. While they're at it, kick out Karpeles' fat ass.

They should probably disband as the confirmation of bitcoin's failure has been confirmed so strongly, especially in Russian and Chinese.

Whoa now! Some of us still have assets in Mtgox. Please don't upset Karpeles until after all the withdrawals.

Are we going to see 750 soon?

It may be wiser to start an independent entity with a completey different set of people.  The other Foundation board members presumably were brought together by Shrem, were his friends, or brought him in; how can they dissociate the Foundation from him?

In any case, methinks that Bitcoin would need some international Users Association with no exchange members in its board, to set standards for exchanges and rate them for compliance.

Especially, since I noticed one Russia news sites literally stating that "a creator of digital currency Bitcoin got arrested".

News channels are on a new "bad news roll" and don't bother with the actual correctness of the information they impart.

I got a block once, so I'm a creator too!

BRB getting arrested!

Most recent headlines:
"Bitcoin users charge mainstream media with spreading FUD"
"Bitcoin users cling strongly to Austrian economics in the face of government attacks on bitcoin, citing 'guns pointed at everyone' as its principal success"

awesome site. How do they identify gox-transactions?

this one is quite funny: http://skanner.net/MtGox/getaddys.php?txid=f0c654525ce92daea9770d959e588c852fd3b4ed0cb9f380c94ae8d396b7bc4a

There is a data stream provided by GOX itself: https://data.mtgox.com/api/0/bitcoin_tx.php

Its a long read but looks like they have a number of what shrem thought were secret emails. Also worth noting they had search warrants back in Feb 2013.

All numbers were collected by hand from the site http://bitcoinwisdom.com. Beware of possible errors.

For each exchange, the numbers include only the trade volume to/from the currencies listed in the rightmost column. The BTC-e volumes now include retroactively also exchanges to EUR and RUR (together about 1 kBTC/day or less).  Trade between BTC and other cryptocoins, such as LiteCoin, is NOT included.

Coinbase volume is not available, neither at Bitcoinwisdom nor at Bitcoincharts, but they are said to use Bitstamp for currency conversion.

Dates on the header line are UTC. Specifically, "01/15" means "from 01/15 00:00:00 UTC to 01/15 23:59:59 UTC". (Beware that Bitcoinwisdom uses your local time, so the date may appear to be off by 1 day.  For example, if you are 2 hours west of Greenwich, it may show "01/14 22:00" when the UTC time is "01/15 00:00".)

Anyone with knowledge of candlesticks?

Good morning.  I see I got an order filled at $757 on Bitstamp while I slept.

Thank you bears for your good teamwork.

Sarah Meiklejohn, author of the paper, “A Fistful of Bitcoins: Characterizing Payments Among Men With No Names,” noted in December that such actions would even be “easy” for law enforcement officials.

“The FBI now has all the data for Silk Road, they can see how much these guys earned, and they can see the addresses they used. So, it really seems like they have a lot of what they need to be able to prosecute them,” Meiklejohn told CoinDesk.


Since I am only able to see press release, do you think DPR is looking for some plea deals to bring down the full structure?

The 30k coins almost ready to be sold are straight from SilkRoad, while the 144k coins where from his laptop and his personal wallet.  If he ever decides to plea and surrender those coins it may buy him less time behind bars while helping to prosecute others like Shrem and Faiella.



** Edit and just like that fluidjax posts the complaint**

Did anyone of HSBC got locked up behind bars so far? Why is there so much news about some peanuts laundered? O right. FUDsters at work.
