Option 2) They stall/delay/lie over the period of several months and their market share slowly disperses to other exchanges. Users slowly get used to the fact that Gox might be in trouble. After a while people expect that Gox is in trouble. By the time they finally announce their bankruptcy everyone will be expecting it, and while their will be a lot of any people still left in that 40% market share, and it will affect the price of Bitcoin as a whole, it will not be anywhere near the disastrous results of option 1.
Agree on this one, although to me it still feels like the "bargaining" stage of grief. (disclaimer: at present I have no fiat nor coins in any exchange. Only coins in cold storage.)

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Damn.
NO ONE seems to have been successful in making a USD withdrawal from Magic The Gathering Online eXchange.
Not very reassuring.
I mean, it were just a huge backlog or incompetent management, then at least ONE person on this forum should have been successful.

NO ONE huh? I received a wire from mtgox for a large amount. Took about 1.5 months, and a couple of support requests, but it finally came in. They're fixing it, and within the next month or less, it should be back to normal.
I don't think people realize how much volume gox does... ANY exchange with similar volume will/have run into these issues.

Two more such claims just surfaced:Are any fiat withdrawals possible or not? A while ago they suspended USD withdrawals, but mentioned that EUR and other currencies would not be affected. However, EUR withdrawals seem not to work over the past week.
Who in the forum has the same problem or managed to withdraw fiat currencies?
My SEPA withdrawal from the 4th of June arrived today (950€). SEPA seems to work again. I can not confirm if this is true for withdrawals over 1000 Euros. But I trust Gox. The panic and the allegations go way too far for my taste. Gox has for various reasons lost in a short time many of his virtual withdrawal options (Dwolla, Liberty Reserve, OKPAY). All customers fall back to the normal banking transfers. But they were already at the limit before. One of my withdrawals arrived today. This was, however, the last one I did. Two still remains (which was executed prior to the one I received).
All we need now is photo "proof"

Gox processes a tiny amount of fiat volume compared to other companies.

Gox processes a tiny amount of fiat volume compared to other companies. And way more than any Bitcoin company. Banks don't like regulatory uncertainty, and Bitcoin takes the cake there.

Hi NotMe, I don't want to get into a pissing contest, but it seems that you either work for MTGOX or you're a client hell-bent on continuing to believe that something isn't awry with MTGOX. If in fact the individual you referenced in your remark did receive their USD, then did they submit proof and recieve their BTC reward (I think that it's up to .75 BTC now). Best Regards, Pangia

It doesn't take much effort to maintain my belief that MtGox will return to normal withdrawal times within 1.5 months, so I don't think "hell-bent" is an accurate characterization.

If you do money transmitting business and you are not registered as Money Services Businesses (MSBs), you can get get a penalty or even go to jail. If you do want to register as MSB, you must pay, wait and not do any business. So gox is trapped. Am I right?

It looks like he asked about it, but nobody answered him. Is there still a bounty? Mine came through.

Gox is working on registration. You do not have to stop operations while they process the paperwork.

I did the clickee thing and read EPiSKING's post. He stated that he received his withdrawal, but yet provided no proof as was requested by the OP (The Banker). So in essence, we still don't have anyone receiving a USD withdrawal yet. If EPiSKING did receive his USD withdrawal then there's no reason no to provide proof and collect his reward. I mean I could post that I just figured out how to create electricity by rubbing 2 sticks together, but without proof, all I'm doing is posting an unverified statement.

Gox is working on registration. You do not have to stop operations while they process the paperwork. They might be registering users (cash flow in), but not letting any USD out. That is not the definition of an exchange. Actually, scrap that. They are even having trouble accepting deposits now. "In the past we were able to credit customer accounts before the funds arrived in our own bank account, meaning that it could only take 3~4 days to register. The new process may take a week to ten days to register on your account depending on your bank, as well as weekends and holidays." https://support.mtgox.com/entries/21692589-Changes-to-Deposit-Transfer-Procedures

Gox is working on registration. You do not have to stop operations while they process the paperwork. OK, thanks, good news EDIT: But why Bitcoin Foundation's board member Patrick Murck says: How hard is it to get registered as an MSB?
(PM) There are two significant barriers: money and time. The minimum I’ve seen 50 state licenses done is for $2M in fees and surety bonds, and takes about 1.5 years to go through the licensing process. During the 1.5 years you’re not allowed to operate at all, even under a provisional license. This obviously causes concern for investors, because there is a signfiicant amount of money tied up for a long period of time, and no way to prove the business model before hand. An alternative is to work as an agent under another company’s MSB license, but you still have to make sure you comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML), etc. Maybe wrong quoting by http://thegenesisblock.com/town-hall-discussion-with-gavin-andresen-and-patrick-murck/or foundation is just full of weird people https://bitcoinfoundation.org/about/board

I understand that, and I'm not asking you to believe him or me. I just wanted to share something that seems to contradict your statement that NO ONE seems to have been successful in making a USD withdrawal from Magic The Gathering Online eXchange.
Whether or not you you believe him is up to you. I'm not here to convince you, just to share evidence. I will pm him and let him know the bounty is still available. See, there are ways to resolve these things. You don't have to throw your hands up in the air. Now, please remember not everyone lives on these forums, so it may take some time for him to respond.

Congrats EPiSKiNG on getting your wire. I remember a month ago or so, you posted the Mt Gox chat logs and asked if canceling meant they would put you in back of the queue. Looks like they are getting around to doing them, though it may take a while.
Thinking about re-initiating my wire today and will see what happens.
