Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

The whole situation is honestly kind of nuts. I didn't really have many coins on Mt.Gox, I only moved over what I had planned to sell in the immediate future... so however it turns out, I'm not terribly worried. I'm of the opinion that Bitcoin itself isn't going to take a big ding for it. The one thing I really would want to know is just...

Exactly what in the hell happened?

Ok, that is funny... even funnier, My wife didn't get it.

wolftaur, I have been watching this for the past three days.  I actually think the article is a good recap of what I have seen. I think MtGox has a lot of question to answer and Keven was interestingly in the right place at the right or wrong time depending on how it turns out.

My question is will we ever know what happened.
