Re: Mt.Gox AML/KYC Process Explained

Have you already acquired BTC and are interested in trading to profit from price fluctuations, or do you want to buy your first bitcoins?

If it's the former then you could try BTC-E or bitfinex, as they don't require you to submit your dox, stool samples, etc. if you're not planning on withdrawing or depositing fiat currencies.

If it's the latter then most exchanges will ask for the dox, but you can avoid this hassle if you decide to buy through localbitcoins.

Thank you malevolent for your posting.
In answer to it:

I did earn some free BTC already. I don't think it's enough to trade with (yet), but I AM interested in the subject. I guess the wisest thing to do, untill that time, is to read more about it and gain more information on how trading with it works. Maybe it's the thing for me, in future, too? From what I've read till so far is that some earned a decent amount with it. But, I've also read about people that lost a decent amount.
And so your answer leeds to the following question: 'If one (a newbie like me) wants to have more information about it, what sources (articles, website, books, documentaries if there are any, etc...) would you recommend?'

And about the 'latter' .. thank you for this tip. I will get into 'localbitcoins' as well, and try to learn more first.

So, I guess you can read from my posting, I am really still a newbie on all of this stuff, but willing to learn. Thank you for making a little bit wiser. If you have more tips or suggestions ... plz do so!

Back to the subject of Mt. Gox ....
Quite disturbing news I've read. Mt. Gox suspended withdrawals. I've read something about technical issues and hope they overcome it in short periode of time. BTC rate plunged into the deep with -20% and more, and japanese are selling like hell!! Those are the stories on the internet I've read. All the more reason, if one is a newbie like me, to first gain more information on trading with BTC, before doing so.

I have accounts on 8 trading sites including Gox but never put any money in Gox as I am from the UK and they had just lost their Barclays account to sent £££s in and found I could use OKpay but getting my docs verified on there took a few weeks. In the meantime I looked at many sites and found localbitcoins the easiest to use and to buy but not cheap. Adding all the charges to transfer GPB into USD then to the trading sites I found if I picked a dip in the BTC price I could buy it overall at a good price at localbitcoins and with a lot less hasstle.
I spread my BTC in a qt wallet to hold and on several trading sites as i no longer trust any will ALL my money. Also some Casascius physical Bitcoins.

Ahh so I'm not the only one. I was following the tweets and trying to get the Windows mining up and going, couldn't find the .exe, the appdata folder wasn't created when they said to put the config file in the bitcoin appdata folder, confused as all hell, thought I was retarded... Turns out it wasn't just me. That makes me feel less dumb now.
The windows maxcoind.exe was bugged and it wouldnt run on my win7 PC but would on an XP one which I tried an hour later. They released a fixed file on github but many didnt see it. It did work on win 7 after but maxcoind getbalance and getaddress didnt work. well not until after I tweeted are we running a botnet for you and suddenly it started working 10 mins later, coincidence?

can anyone tell me how this maxcoin thing failed?
Completely missed the boat. Was working on Smartcoin.
Always in for a good laugh.

Devs delayed 24 hours because of "Bitcointalk DDOS"... When they finally launch, they launch an hour late with no windows wallet, no directions (despite the fact they said they would post them)... and no EXE miner, only the uncompiled code

Lost two evenings of my life to this crap... fail devs tease and tease and postpone and postpone thinking they are the center of the universe keeping people waiting and then launch without Windows wallet and miner lol. "Fair and easy for everyone to mine" lol.

Q: I am on Windows... can I mine?
A: Yep, there will be a client for all major OS.


No there weren't. Haven't bothered to check if there already is but no point anymore.

Either they are incompetent, stupid, and arrogant, or they just wanted to instamine themselves when 90% of the people can't mine because they don't release the tools to do it.
Sort of reminds me of the Justni Beiber story where he left crowds waiting 2 hours, many not being able to stay to the end because they would miss the last train.

I guess this forum is filled with 12 year olds. If not then... what is wrong with you guys. It's like you guys have no restraint and have never had anything delayed before.

TrainCoin. Just you wait.  Wink
Train coin is delayed due to the wrong type of leafcoin being on the track
