I don't understand the mass sell-off and panic.
You can still use Dwolla -> BitInstant -> MtGox
Or Dwolla -> CampBx
Or BitInstant Cash deposit -> Key -> MtGox
Or Bank Transfer ->MtGox
Or Dwolla ->Okpay -> MtGox
Should I go on?
O FUG THE GUVMENT TYIN TA SHUT DWN BITCOIN
Guise, srsly, our market cap is what it would probably cost to shut it down. We're such a small piece of the pie I can't see any major body (for the time being) giving a second thought to the power we attribute to bitcoin.
SSSSSHHH! I wanna buy cheap coins. |

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Your mistake is to overthink this.
If the market say sell, you sell.
Really, the market doesn't care for reality.
It does eventually, but you are correct that it can ignore it for a while. |

From Mt. Gox FB:
Statement Regarding Dwolla:
Like many who have contacted us, MtGox has read on the Internet that the United States Department of Homeland Security had a court order and/or warrant issued from the United States District Court in Maryland which it served upon the Dwolla mobile payment service with respect to accounts used for trading with MtGox. We take this information seriously. However, as of this time we have not been provided with a copy of the court order and/or warrant, and do not know its scope and/or the reasons for its issuance. MtGox is investigating and will provide further reports when additional information becomes known.

When a foreign company like Gox goes through the AML process, do they agree to jurisdiction in the States for related matters? If so, and if Gox employees are implicated in something...

I can't say I'm surprised by DHS's move. We all know the Achilles Heel of Bitcoin are the exchanges. Target them, or their funding sources, and you effectively cripple bitcoin. Sure, a bitcoin is still worth a bitcoin and no one loses (unless the exchange goes down and takes your cash with it), but without a fast, cheap and convenient way to convert to other currencies the usefulness of bitcoin is greatly diminished.

not that it will happen this time, but i really wish
that gox goes away...
I'll be fine with that as long as CampBX (or someone in the US) continues making it easy (i.e. working with Dwolla) to get my fiat out of the exchange. Maybe we need more Dwolla-type things in the US? Yeah, we need more Ashton Kutchers in the world.  Did the actor invent something like Dwolla, like, in the real-life meat-space? Or is this a reference to the TV show? If it's a reference, I can only muster a panting laugh, a la Sheldon Cooper. (swing and a miss) Kutcher was an early investor. http://blogs.desmoinesregister.com/dmr/index.php/2012/04/10/ashton-kutcher-dwolla-investment |

This affects dwolla, and dwolla only? Will they target banks to not accept/send wires from/to Gox?

They can't do that without some form of sanction which isn't going to happen. International trade agreements come into play here. |

The UIEGA thing kept banks from doing business with offshore poker/gambling sites. Why couldn't they just announce the same thing with bitcoin exchanges? |

I liked Dwolla for the ease of shorting to my bank acct via ACH.
Are there any other reasonable options for ACH to banks of small amounts of USD?
This is shitty.
