I doubt whoever is doing that has the best interests of Bitcoin at heart.
CoinLab could have been very successful without any MtGox partnership, if they wanted to be.
This is weak, very weak.

Lame. None of my business anyway; more incentive to stop using the Gox.

For some reason, I chose to not use Gox.

Considering the sort of contract they had in place, repeated breaches tends to lead to lawsuits.
It is sad, but yes it had to be done if everything is factually true with what has been said on the matter so far.

I don't think they should do that, but then again, if they think they could win the law suit, then they'll do it. No they probably don't have the best interests of bitcoin at heart, but most people don't, most people only care about the money.

Huge bummer, I like MtGox but so far it's been difficult to get money out of the exchange in a timely manner.

Suing someone for not living up to their contact (apparently) is a dick move? Since when?

We'll see eh. I don't think Mt Gox are at fault here.
They should both have the same ultimate goals here.
If things were taking a little longer, there were delays (as always with Gox, and most new businesses), they should be understanding - if they both actually want Bitcoin to succeed.
It appears CoinLab are unskilled business people, causing more problems than they've fixed (zero?).
What good have they actually done for Bitcoin so far?
You're really just talking out your ass. You have no idea what's going on behind the scenes. Coinlab would not spend the money on filing a lawsuit if they didn't have good reason to. It's going to cost a hell of a lot of money to sue a large company like MtGox. MtGox must have done something really wrong for them to take it to this level. |

They probably have Bear intentions for the current price per coin. Or are really upset over money lost as a result of their foolishness.

Maybe that's taking it a bit far.. ^  I recommended a couple friends use CoinLab a few months back. They were able to buy 10 coins or so, maybe a few times, after that none were available for sale. Their operation looks very professional, Bitcoin badly needs operators like this. But so far they have not delivered. Oh well, I am curious to see what MtGox have to say after reading the complaint. |

So CoinLab couldn't even sell a few coins to my American friends..
Couldn't they get their hands on enough bitcoin? It's really that hard?

One can't help but wonder if this was their plan all along.
Enter business relationship, write contracts in a specific way which can never be fulfilled - possibly a less experienced Gox signs, thinking they are on the same team anyway.
When they don't comply 100%, they bring out their lawyers and cause them hell.
Prove me wrong children, prove me wrong.. *principal Skinner voice*
This is pretty much my thoughts on the matter as well. Was mtgox supposed to instantly stop servicing existing customers after signing the contract ? How could any sane business do this and expect to survive, Coinlab is not set up to handle gox clients yet - why is Coinlab being such a little bitch about it unless they are simply planning to profit by repeated lawsuits against their "business partners". IANAL just a grumpy outspoken bastard. |
