I just completed the MtGox Bankruptcy Claim via the Kraken website and I'm sure I'm not the only person who has filed a claim over the past week or so.
It was a relatively straightforward process, although I was a bit hazy about which bank account information I supplied to MtGox as part of the verification process, but other than that, it was pretty standard and pleasingly quick.
It took me back to the days when the price was getting hammered, fear was rampant and then the seemingly inevitable failure of Gox occurred. I also remembered a YouTube song from the time, googled it and found it still up but with only 46000 hits:

I'm not saying it is a great musical composition, but I do say that it has stuck in my head as a memory relating to the Gox incident which followed other chaos including Bitfunder going under and TradeFortress collapsing.
Just wondering how many other folks are filing the MtGox claim form and what memories they might recall from those dark days?
I had enough trouble remembering my log in and password! I wasn't sure how much I was claiming for exactly, so had to go back and look how much was in my account, I am quite lucky that I didn't have too much in there when they went under.
The claim forms were pretty simple in my opinion, and the 2 levels of verification required are pretty easy too. I live in Germany though and I am not sure if I need to do the 3rd level for the Gox calim or not.. Then I need to start messing around with photos or photo IDs, that would be a bit more annoying!
One strange memory for me is that my browser still remembers Gox everytime I go to bitcoinity to check the price. Then I get a message saying that they don't know how I got there but it isn't available anymore
