Sorry to be a bit off topic, these questions are vital to many people, so please answer:
1) The moment we pass the new verification stage, are we allowed to look at our account, or are there more delays at that stage?
2) Is MtGox still solvent? and/or Have they claimed to have enough funds?
3) Are there any verifiable sources about their (rumored) possible legal troubles in Japan?
1) Passing the verification may take some time if there is a lot of users. We'll try to make it as fast as possible. 2) No funds were stolen3) Legal troubles?  |

i know nothing about tradehill, but as a technical claim about https, this is entirely incorrect. the ssl certificates used by https authenticate a domain name; they are entirely independent of network-layer addresses.
SSL negotiation takes place before the Host: header is sent - so name-based virtual hosting doesn't work over HTTPS. Therefore with the exception of multi-domain or wildcard certificates, you're pretty much limited to one "site" per IP, unless you change the port. If you're saying it's possible to do name-based virtualhosting (and by extension, shared hosting) over HTTPS on a single IP, please share the details of it. |

my apologies. i'm tremendously out of practice. this is what going to six hours of meetings a day does to a former programmer. :) what confused me is that you can, of course, simply distinguish on port, so the claim that the ip address (rather than the connection) needed to be unique is what raised a red flag to me. but of course, this isn't relevant to the point you were making; that tradehill uses port 443 is useful evidence of the kind you were suggesting that it's operating on its own network address. |

Why is it that Mt. Gox keeps claiming that no BTC were stolen?  ?? I had 20.19 BTC stolen 2 days before the news of the database leak became public. I reported it to Mt Gox before the news became public and I have the automated email they sent back as proof. I have not heard a peep out of them about it. I have seen many other similar stories, where people got their BTC and/or money stolen out of their accounts as well during this same time frame. Mt. Gox's claim is that people that had money stolen had matching login information, so it couldn't have been hacked so they are not responsible. I'm 100% positive that my BTC were stolen because my password was cracked from the leaked database. Mt. Gox should be liable for this, and I believe I should be reimbursed. I've posted to every single thread I've seen regarding Mt. Gox and stolen money, but they have yet to reply even once. I for one will jump on any class action suit I can find. |

To the people threatening to sue MtGox - you guys need to get your head's examined. Any of you remember the May Flash Crash? It happened on the ACTUAL stock market - the one where the big boys play. Proctor & Gamble was trading at $0.01. Guess what happened? The trades were reversed - AND this happened without ANYONE getting "hacked".
Stop feeling so entitled - when Mtgox re-opens you'll have your bitcoins / USD back in your account. Also stop complaining about security - 90% of the people here complaining about the lack of security on the site know ZERO about the issue at hand. It's not like MtGox kept all the passwords in a txt file somewhere on his server - He made a legitimate attempt to keep them secure.

And there's your difference. If the sstock exchange had freely given an auditor information he shouldn't have had, which resulted in the flash crash you can bet your ass someone would have been sued. |

Are you kidding? WAY more people have access to the Nasdaq trading computers (Nasdaq employees) than people who have back end access (legitimately) to MtGox servers, so I have no idea what you're complaining about.

Force Majeure clauses literally translate as an act of god. ie, an event it is impossible to ever fully prepare for or deal with effectively. An example of this would be an earthquake, which no matter how strongly built or how earthquakeproofed a building, worksite or suchlike it is it will have huge ramifications that will effectively cancel a contract. Same with tornados, volcanic activity or tidal waves, etc.
Force Majeure does not Cover gross incompetence such as failing to correctly store data or information. The only time you could reasonably claim force majeure with respect to website operations would be if the server farm caught fire or there was a power failure for an extended period of time.

Not true... you could reasonably claim force majeure if you had schizophrenia, or extreme mental retardation. |

lol, in this country.. america.. one can sue anyone for any reason at any time.. u just need to convince a judge or jury (wonder how popular the frenchman will be to a US jury) Someone once sued mcdonalds for their coffee being too hot.. lot of bored, out of work, lawyers in the US. So if you really lost money with them i'd find the US entity they transact with and just call a lawyer up in their state and ask for a free consultation. If you are smart you dont even need a lawyer really you can just do it all yourself and start filing subpoenas with the county clerk for 25$. It's up to their lawyer to contest your subpoena. Get a court date set, and subpoena everything you can. Oh and by the way, I'm sure there were plenty of lawsuits about the flash crash in may.. yer a deluded if u dont think that. The above is NOT legal advice, consult your own lawyer to see how you should proceed with your individual situation. http://www.vanosteen.com/mcdonalds-coffee-lawsuit.htm - they wont 2 mil+ on it http://money.cnn.com/2003/01/22/news/companies/mcdonalds/ - lawsuit blaming mcdonalds for 'making them fat' haha they lost that one god bless america |
