Leaked Mt.Gox "feature" to lock all BTC for 6 month

Hi,

does anyone know what "locked till..." means?

That doesn't sound so good... I logged out, logged in and thank god it was gone! Now I see my normal balance.

Update: Might be a feature under development that someone accidentally released early.

Glitches, courtesy of Mt. Gox ;-)

I'd say they accidentally deployed a new website feature which is to lock all bitcoins for 6 month. They'll probably announce it soon enough. According to the date from the screenshot, they'll lock them in tomorrow.

Looks like they've finally decided not to pay.

Reminds me of the Greece/Cyprus haircuts. "Just give us a little more time and extend our credit lines. We promise we'll pay!".

And it's gone!

You are a brand new poster, registered today.

This pic looks photoshopped.

I blacked out identifying information and added marker with the "Windows Snipping Tool". Of course it looks photoshopped.

I wouldn't be surprised if they are really planning to lock everyone's bitcoins inside Gox

photoshopped of course Cheesy

look at color code

Agreed, more attempts at spreading FUD in attempts to make money.

Why is it showing 2 BTC wallets? Is that a feature on Gox accounts?

The price shows you took the pic at least 12 hours before posting. But you make it sound like it just happened. Why did you wait? to ponder whether or not to release this?

I'm naturally dubious given the circumstances and the fact that several other posts with unsubstantiated claims have been springing up this evening [and you've been hard at work all day photoshopping, etc.]

I didn't wait. The price is about 2 hours old. Maybe you're confused by the fact that is is denominated in €, not $.

Yeah sorry it is in Euros Grin

Sorry but still dubious.

june 24 < haha not june 24th

FAKE

I guess the Chinese developers didn't attend their English lessons Grin

I also doubt the website would use slang like 'till' instead of until

Welcome to the forum.

Maybe it was GIMPed or some propriety app on an iPad. Who knows or cares. What matters is that it is a fake.

true. in which case it should be "til" and not "till" anyway.

I dont know if the poster of that pic is trustable or not.

If the pic would be true and MtGox does lock bitcoin withdrawals for months, but allows only fiat withdrawals during that time, probably bitcoin price in MtGox will plummet. $10 per BTC?

Locking BTC for months in a company that will go bankrupt in weeks is a a recipe for panic selling.

OMG ITS ON BITSTAMP TOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Obviously I'm trolling...
