when has gox ever issued an update prior to 7pm local time? i suspect it will be at least 12 more hours.

[rmines]

Exactly..
Also there are a lot of similar threads like this one, so I don't understand why you started this.
We'll soon find out what they'll announce.

Nothing special will happen. We'll get an one page press release telling us that we'll get another update on March the 1st.

My guess as well.

These staggered announcements are just a stalling tactic while Mark and his cronies set up new identities and posh accommodations in remote tropical island locations. This is one way you retire early.

[grahvity]

"Soon."

Meanwhile fiat continues to pour into Gox as speculators chase arbitrage. Dumb asses don't realise they won't be able to get more than a trickle out when withdrawals are re-enabled.

I'm buying some goxcoins right now, at these prices, I don't care if it takes months to get them out, as long as I do eventually.

Well see who the dumb ass is. Its easy to follow other dumb-asses in their thoughts

Expect an "it's always darkest before the dawn" style announcement from gox this evening (japan). i've had the pleasure of working for a japanese company going under before, and this is exactly how they staggered it out.

"Midnight is where the day begins"

I like that. Very poetic.

This ^ would be my guess. More delays like "we are testing extensively for another 7 days just to make sure we know that we know that we know that we know that we know the system is good to go."

That's the gamble.

didn't the staff go back home by now ? This might not happen today

Didnt the last 2 updates happen around 7pm in Tokyo?

It's odd how it takes gox a week to deploy a fix for a problem that it supposedly found and other exchanges fix this problem within a couple days. The last couple updates did happen around 7pm. Probably around the time they leave the office so they don't have to deal with all the backlash lol.

I keep mentioning this but Andreas said that the Gox code was so bad that it could take them 2-4 weeks to update. I think many people underestimate how poorly their code was developed, thus causing updates to take many times longer than other exchanges. We just all default to assume its an easy fix.

I think most people would be patient with code issues and be willing to wait for 2-4 weeks for withdrawals if they felt confident that the cash and coins were indeed there and would be available.  Gox has not been transparent and has left everyone feeling uneasy which is what caused such panic. 

[derpinheimer]

I wonder if Gox made an error and lost all the coins LOL

These are the horrors of bitcoin. So damned easy to lose.
