I invite you to back up your claims against Mt. Gox. Certainly what you say is possible, but anything's possible.
So far Tux does the
lie-and-run thing, so you're setting an impossible goalpost. With a (provenly) dishonest operator, the only thing left is circumstantial evidence, unless someone hacks it again.
What's the criteria for your link to be 'golden'ed?
Pissing off a coupla dozen idiots.
Or saying something that a few people REALLY do not like and those people make MULTIPLE accounts. MPOE-PR may not be the most sensitive of people, but what he writes is usually spot on (although I disagree with many of the opinions, I agree with some of the really important ones). Just a question for everyone to think about:
You CANNOT sell bitcoin you do not have (because you have to settle with the unique number that is confirmed in the block chain IF people use FIAT to buy BTC and they remove the BTC from their trading account). This is a fact.
So, if tons of new people came to buy BTC and wanted to store it in their own ways (say kind of like the Winklevoss' already said that they did), and some exchange wanted to keep flow going and kept issuing BTC to people like the Winklevoss' that were withdrawing and the market kept going up at an incredible pace (and now the exchange is short BTC), WHAT IS THE BEST THING THAT COULD EVER HAPPEN TO AN EXCHANGE THAT IS SHORT A LIMITED FLOAT SECURITY THAT CANNOT BE SUBSTITUTED?
