I have no idea why someone would leave 5k in one of these accounts.  That is ballsy and without a good password its mostly your fault.  Good luck.

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Because you can buy coins just right now if you decide you want to without having to wait days for your wire to clear.

Mt. Gox needs to add security features.  Pins and two-factor authentication would be a good start.

Imagine how much you'd have in your account if you sold a couple thousand coins Wink

This would be a very much appreciated feature. I like the idea of being asked for my PIN, which only may have 3 retries until the account gets blocked. Only question is, how do you reactivate the account if your email is compromised...

I would not leave it there for long. I was selling some coins and found out later that I could only send $1000/24hour back home. In any case, Mt.Gox has responded now to my ticket and as soon as they have a bit of time they will look into this. There might even be some resouces left. I'm starting to get a bit of hope.
