There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

I dont follow. What is a  "Goxbtc"?

And if withdrawals dont work, how could anyone buy them?

And what deposits? Deposits to gox work. Withdrawals dont.

The press release wont come or it will say they are delaying withdrawals, 99% chance of that at least.

A goxbtc is a btc that is trapped in mt.gox, one that they aren't letting people withdraw from mt.gox. Internal btc transfers still work between users on mt.gox, so people are selling them off the exchange & getting better prices than they would selling on mtgox. There's even a website set up to automate it, https://bitcoinbuilder.com/ So we have new currency pairs to trade now, since they stopped withdrawals, goxbtc has disjointed from btc. there's goxbtc/usd, btc/usd & goxbtc/btc

How does it work exactly? I mean it sounds nuts. Why would anyone pay .7BTC for a goxBTC?

I can buy a GoxBTC for .5BTC.

Because deposits take some time to get in, so they can't buy the cheap btc on gox directly, it's the only way to buy in. You're right though, you can buy elsewhere & possibly get better prices.

How much would you want for your goxbtc? I might buy some from you for the right price, and we can use some third party escrow.

I think it's Mark. Gox is so dead that he has nothing to lose now if he takes the money & runs. Who else is selling at under $350?
