[retrovide0]

The domain of Bitcoin exchange wm-center has been shut down by the government

the onramp to BTCbitcoin is getting more difficult every day with each shutdown

but are they down for good? Mega upload is back and wm-center claims they will be back

we currently can not serve US-based customers and US citizens. We will resume our services on US market as soon as will finish the process of obtaining required licenses, we expect this will happen in the fall of 2013, and we'll post update here as soon as everything will be ready.

This shit pisses me off, fuck the government and their paper currency

[Eva Braun]

I dont get how the government can shut down a domain :/

[rolloffacliffpleaseanddie]

I imagine the next to come is MTGOX.

Feds own domain registrars (.com,.net,.org etc)

[foxhole]

hopefully btc-e.com

[foxhole]

Actually, I bet they cant shut down btw-e.com because they are located in russia.

But MTGOX could easily still serve users on a .co.jp domain, right  ?

Probably, I just want MTGOX to die. They almost killed Bitcoin completly with not letting people trade.

when gov shutsdown its people...

THE PEOPLE WILL SHUTDOWN ITS GOVERNMENT

[worldinacoin]

But Mtgox is by far the largest Bitcoin exchange, if anything happen to them, all of us trading Bitcoin will be in deep shit.

Not necessarily, I imagine people would just begin using other exchanges.

Ideally, yes. But in today's world you'll just be killed as a terrorist.

Actually, I bet they cant shut down btw-e.com because they are located in russia.

The evil country can seize the domains mtgox.com and btc-e.com because the evil country holds the rights over .com addresses, but they can easily switch to btc-e.ru or mtgox.co.jp which would not fall under the authority of the evil country.

[counter]

I would assume GOX because they seem to already be in their sights based on past actions.
