MtGox website down. Watch them disappear!

[quone17]

Gox is destroying bitcoin.  THe price there is collapsing (I don't know why) and the other exchnages and bitcoin press are being dragged down with it.  What a bunch of stupid selfish jerks at Gox.

Gox is destroying bitcoin

If a tiny company like MT Gox can single handedly "destroy bitcoin" then it wasn't worth very much in the first place.

I doubt that's true anyway. It's just the gossip story of the moment and since the market is tiny and doesn't have anything else to concern itself with, that's what it's decided to obsess on for now.

Well I think that BTC is hanging on very well with all that is happening.

But Gox is going down it seams...

Their site throws an error. Placing bets as to whether they just jumped ship...

it maybe a good sign they seem to test some things.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dear MtGox Customers,

Thank you for your patience this week while we are working on re-initiating bitcoin
withdrawals. In addition to the technical issue, this week we have experienced some
security problems, and as a result we had to relocate MtGox to our previous office building
in Shibuya (details can be found here https://support.mtgox.com/home). The move,
combined with some other security and technical challenges, pushed back our progress.
As much as we didn’t want to only provide an “update on an update”, this is the current
status. We are committed to solving this issue and will provide more information as soon
as possible to keep everyone in the loop.
We are very sorry for the delays and deeply appreciate your kind understanding and
continuous support.

Best regards,

MtGox Team


This is fucking unbelievable...

This is fucking unbelievable...  

This guy pretty much called it :\  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=475802.msg5246924

I wonder what's up with the office move?  Too many protesters show up?  Landlord didn't like the situation?  It's possible to interpret "security problems" as physical security issues...

Edit: I guess I'm late to the show.  The new office is just a front: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=477103.msg5261072#msg5261072

How long are you guys predicting before we see sub $100 coins?   I would buy sooooo many if I could get them at $100 right now...  I would get at least 50 more

This is fucking unbelievable... 

This has got to be a result of employees fearing their safety.   It sucks for just the average employee that is just there doing their job, as there is nothing that they can do to fix the situation...

who would have ever guessed that we would be close to seeing sub $100 btc on Gox (of all exchanges)??

What's the fastest way to deposit fiat on Gox now?

How fast is OK-Pay?


(Yes, I'm aware of the risks.)

[raspcoin]

scam,scammer. Obviously, mtgox itself is stealing btc and $ from its users. if you are one participant, you'd better keep your account silent without any trade. if you can join it now, just go to buy bitcoin and keep them.

There is a reason why the price is so low. The bitcoins currently available for trade may not even be real.

It is possible that the price has been manipulated in order to attract new money to the exchange. I hope you really are aware of the risks.

I would put it at a 65% chance that you would never again see money deposited today on Gox.   My fear is that the implosion of Gox is going to encourage governments to come out even harder with the ban hammer after there are so many people who have been screwed out of their money...
