We are pumping without media attention.
You know what happens when the media **** will notice and promote the pump?
Its gonna get nasty.


They won't even notice until $1250.

I'm sure we'll see a few media outlets report on medium gains, but you are right, it would have to be a substantial upward trend before they start going gaga over it again.

I cannot even login, am I the only one?

When I enter the 2 factor code the site says: AND IT IS GONE

Are they hacked and all my login info gets to the middle man? Will I have 0 account balance tomorrow?

I'm experiencing the same thing, any one have any news?

Just to update everyone, I tried a test transaction and everything was processed and withdrawn within 10 minutes. It sounds like others are seeing the same thing.

How about you sour lames relax and take a moment to take care of yourselves? Let others do what they want, but hey if you need a mob mentality to get you through your days then do your thing. See how no one cares about what you do? That's how it should be, take some time to think about that.

They are just rebranding the company to "Gox" and pushing it as an acquire. New board and management of course so if they can clean up the image, they may have a solid thing going in the future.

I don't think the weight of this situation has really hit a lot of people here quite yet. Before you start thinking about "ever using them again", let's focus on the current and then cross that bridge when we get there.

Mtgox is in very deep on multiple levels, in order to "save" this company not only would it take a PR miracle, the entire trading engine would have to be updated. If a company were to come in and clean up the image not only would they have to take on all of the lawsuits, regulation follow up, office space situation, and develop a brand new trading engine, they would have to deal with digging out of the negative reputation that has been deeply rooted into its customers.

Why not just invest all of those resources into opening a newer, better exchange? No need to keep dinosaurs alive, we can always revisit them in the museum Wink

it just means we need to be patient while they take twice as much time as the competition and deliver a solution half as good.
Wrong answer. We do not "need to be patient." Mt. Gox needs to be killed off in a bankruptcy and their assets distributed to their depositors.

No "killing" necessary. Now that the pressure is on give them space to answer clearly. The waves of hate and panic only distort things further.


Give them space!? Is this joke?

OP, you're posting here like you've got some sort of new message shining light onto the world.

You've only joined the club of people who will end up eating their words. "Veteran" users have been through this time and time again, the fact of the matter is: You have no clue what the future holds and I'm shocked you would even attempt to predict the value of such disruptive technology. This idea is bigger than your tiny mind and all of its processing power and where it goes will definitely not be foretold by you.

The only thing you can keep saying is "Wait and see, it's the end, you will lose all your money" while most adopters are up thousands of percent since entry. The only person who needs to do any waiting and seeing is you, the next year will bring such powerful movement and change, your head might actually explode.

Re: Anyone else got bitstamp btc withdrawal problems?

Same, got withdrawals unblocked after contacting support.

But, nevertheless, looking back at how it has been done I dont beleive it is about our security at all.

Think about a massive security breach through a phishing attempt from the Bitstamp POV. If it's a good phishing scheme, hundreds of users would probably fall for it (maybe even thousands? who knows), especially during these fragile times. So, instead of dealing with lost BTC and the PR nightmare, why not restrict all movement and one by one reinstate accounts after each user has had a moment to take a look at their computers and change their passwords.

Seems like a much safer alternative that makes things a lot easier for both sides.

Either no one checks their email, or you initially registered with your bogus email (which I know many of us do) and you're not getting their messages. Whichever it may be, here's the email that was sent out to all accounts that ran into this security measure:

Quote
Bitstamp has detected an increase in the number of reports of phishing emails which were also received by some of our clients. Our technical team responded by examining the threat and setting immediate security measures in place to prevent potential risks.

As a precaution we have also applied this security measure to your account.

If you have received any emails with suspicious content and have opened links or attachments we highly recommend that you immediately contact a computer expert.

While we appreciate that this comes as an inconvenience we are convinced that our security precautions are in accordance with your expectations in keeping your account secure.

If you consider that your system was not affected we kindly ask you to contact security@bitstamp.net to re-enable the withdrawal function on your account.

Please be advised that Bitstamp will never ask you to reveal your password.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,
Bitstamp Team

you end up waiting inside of that restaurant for 7 months and you still haven't got your food.


Most people can't live without food for more than a week. Your argument is invalid.

Wow, your density is in the super elite levels.

It's not an argument, it's a different way to look at exactly what is going on with mtgox. People have been waiting over 7 months (or more) for fiat withdrawals, do you really truly think that this restaurant scenario would happen? My goodness.

Re: [2015-02-15] Mt Gox is deploying and testing a fix

I stand corrected - Gox IS dead, and Mark knows it, he just needs to stop people from withdrawing all their funds. Classy. Just the kind of "goxxing" I would expect from an inexperienced businessman.

This.

That was exactly what I thought when I read that. He's putting limits on withdrawals of YOUR coins. There are two groups of people gonna win this one. Those brave souls who bought at ridiculously low prices, and the upper management of Gox. The company itself? Unless they can sell it to somebody who can restore it's rep, they're done. They don't have the FDIC or similar "safety nets" to get a tax funded bailout.

Guys, there has always been a withdrawal limit. I'm not pointing that out to defend mtgox or justify their behavior, only to get everyone on the same page.

I think on Friday a lot of people here will feel very silly. Gox will do what they said they will do and that's the end of it.

Ok, obviously this is not getting into many people's heads. Let's try this:

You walk into a restaurant with your significant other for a nice dinner, this restaurant asks you to pay for all of the items you plan to consume that evening up front and then puts your order into the kitchen. Now, you wait for your order to come, but as time passes nothing happens. This is when something goes wrong with the doors and now no one can come in or out of the restaurant, you end up waiting inside of that restaurant for 7 months and you still haven't got your food. Something happens to be wrong with the chef and the locking mechanism on the doors, but no one knows exactly what and they won't tell you about what is going on.

If this restaurant happened to fix the problem with the door and their chefs, would you ever come back to dine there?

wow. I'm really surprised by all of the hostility... and centered not around my speculation, but around how much you hate this guy and think there's no way he could be qualified enough to think through things carefully. if I'd done a google search for Mark Zuckerberg's qualifications, I'd have found a psychology and computer science major .. who dropped out of college as a sophomore.

it's just like any of us who work.. you learn the job when you get the job. he's been running it- poorly or well. he knows what it takes to run a large business

Is that you, Mark?

They are a senior management team of a huge business.

I stopped reading there. Mark is a developer who ended up purchasing mtgox, he has no business development/management history whatsoever. We aren't talking about MBA's here, we are talking about Starbucks FRAP's and PHP code. Exactly the reasons why we are running into these huge problems.

Hmm or maybe they have also just canceled their old bank account last year in April. I can't tell you much more about this case, but I am checking some informations since I just received the information that deposit to a closed bank account is no problem, but withdraw is a problem.

Seriously guys? Please start reading posts! Someone helped immensely by posting their horrid customer service experience emails right above your posts.

What made you think that using the service was a good idea after that? Your money is your power, please be a little more cautious with it. I wish you all a smooth and speedy recovery, I would love to see some redemption for this company but for now it is clearly looking like a scam.
