I'm having problems when I'm trying to withdraw my balance from bitfinex it says "Something went wrong" when I click the sms verification. I can't change my phone or make anything.

As I understand it, you can try to disable 2FA and withdraw your deposit through an email confirmation

Are you saying that something went wrong with 2FA around this date?

20 days and/or more than 50% of cup only may harm bullish c&h figure.

Long term downtrend has been broken - that is my main point. Even if c&h will fail, I think we may see only prolonged sideways action what I call silence phase.

Only move below 210 may seriously harm bullish outlook. Weekly picture is pretty bullish so far. Or at least it is not bearish.

How did you arrive at the 210 figure Luc? I thought closing and staying below the weekly 20sma (around 250 now) would start the long term bear, at least from what I remember of waveaddict's analysis

Hi Luc (and fellow BTCers),

What course of study would you recommend for a novice analyst with less than one year trading experience? I'd like to make trading my full time job but the amount of information out there is overwhelming. It's often hard to separate the wheat from the chaff (lunar cycles anyone?). Any advice would be much appreciated.

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions, looking through them now. I'm here because I'm particularly interested in Luc's analysis, strategies, style, emphasis/de-emphasis on particular indicators in various market conditions, and I don't think I'm the only one. Otherwise, I would've just asked for suggestions in the noob section or PMed him

But Master, the hourly sma200, the "holy grail" of all bubbles has been decisively broken on all exchanges and the price remains below it still. This does not concern you?

Edit: Thanks for the explanation. It makes sense that the hourly sma200 would only matter at the end of a bubble.

What exactly do you mean by 'end'? Value getting halved? double digits? pennies?
End of first historical bullish trend 2010-2013.

Does this mean you sold off the last 20% of your coins, masterluc?

The Great Bitfinex Game!

1) Bitfinex will pay a bounty of 1 BTC for anybody that comes out with an idea that actually makes sense in order to improve our liquidity on Bitstamp
2) Anybody that will post an idea that is flawed, doesn't make sense, will never work for the reasons I will be honored to explain or just say things like " why don't you transfer to Bitstamp more money if 2 millions a day is not enough" will have to pay 1 BTC cent to the address:
1J14J1ZR11CsFKXyhneXpfVBp34ovQuh7C

All the coins collected by this game will be donated to www.seansoutpost.com , a homeless outreach in Florida accepting bitcoins.

This is beyond the scope of your question, but why not use Btc-e as yet another pool of liquidity? Have you found Btc-e operators to be untrustworthy?

This is stealing and the behavior of the owners/operators is outrageous, in my opinion. That policy is completely unjustifiable and I hope nobody uses this site until it's changed.

What's the best way to organize a boycott / raise awareness?

In addition to the suggestions in this thread; under each bet on bitbet, there is an unmoderated discussion page where you can talk about this issue with other bitbettors.

Re: Mt.Gox Account secured with Yubikey but still had 29 BTCs stolen

Well it's officially a scam now:

@MagicalTux Yeah, funny Smiley ref the other case, was the Yubikey also off? He lists Google Auth and Yubikey. Peopl need to know for confidence - 17 Sep
   
Mark Karpeles
@MagicalTux
    
@btcdrak what I can say for sure right now is that the currently enabled otps were enabled after the withdrawals.

The OP shows both OTP and Yubikey enabled.

End of story for me.

Nope, based on EVERYTHING that both parties have asserted as FACT so far (i.e. not including any of their speculations), they could both be telling the truth if the attacker disabled, then re-enabled 2fa. Now if Karpeles were to clarify that 2fa was never enabled until after the hack, then one of them is no longer telling the truth, or is at least factually incorrect. Mark's careful language here, "currently enabled otps", suggests that there may have been previously enabled otps as well. He ought to clarify.

it's a unique code each time. and every code is only valid once

Unless 2FA has been implemented poorly. There have been cases where yubikeys have been compromised on blockchain.info, allowing the attacker to get the seed (or reuse codes, can't remember); this is the first gox 2fa breach I have heard of though (unless of course he is lying about having the 2fa setup).

You can always do a MITM, man-in-the-middle attack:
The trojan intercept the OTP, yubikey-code, sms-code, whatever, when it is used by the user. Then it either uses it to directly steal the funds, or, a bit more clever, to deactivate the yubikey. Then it redoes the action the user intended to do with the code, since then there is no yubikey needed any more.
Even addidional layers of security may not help once your computer is infiltrated. How about stealing that additional mail right out of the mailclient? How about faking the whole MtGox site and stealing/relaying/editing at will? That additional layer might even put the user in a false sense of security.

Only one thing really helps: Transactional dependend one-time-codes. I have that on my onlinebanking, for example. I create my wire transfer, this creates a unique "challenge", which is read (via flicker-code, think animated QR) by my tangenerator. This one displays the address and amount to transfer for verification, and creates a response-code. The device can't be hacked (reasonably), as it is very low-level and has no connection whatsoever except a flicker-sensor. If the data is manipulated on my computer at any point, either the display on the device will show it, or the generated response code will not match and will not work.
This is, until now, the only system I am aware of which is failsafe (as long as you watch the display).

This is slightly OT I guess.
Long story short:
MtGox, Yubikey, Google Authenticator, they all are pretty much useless once a dedicated software owns your computer.

Ente

Indeed, given what JRam and Karpeles have said so far, they can both be telling the truth if the attacker disabled 2fa, then re-enabled it afterwards.

Highly unlikely that Gox stole the BTC. The focus on Gox is whether they had a security flaw/bug that wasn't patched at the time of the supposed hack and won't reveal until they fix it/wait long enough without incident for everyone to forget. I'm OK with the last scenario b/c it means that the event is a very low probability one, although we can't be sure until much time passes.

Seems this guy didn't enable 2FA until after the attack. 

Right now, both he and Mark Karpeles could be telling the truth if the attacker disabled 2fa, then reenabled it after he was done.

Guys, keep the conversation on point.

JRam did you withdraw bitcoins recently?

When I pumped BTCs into my account, my intention was to day trade. And I was day trading fairly well up to this point. I never had the need to withdraw any funds from my Mt. Gox account.

I am extremely shocked that MtGox does not have one simple security feature that I have asked for more than a year ago (when I still was willing to do business with MtGox):

Allow users to lock withdrawals to a single bitcoin address

And allow changes only with a signed message (PGP or a signed message from the current address) EDIT: or (per another suggestion in this thread) after waiting out a lockout period long enough for the real account owner to contest a request initiated by a hacker

This would virtually eliminate ALL the theft without ANY groundbreaking innovation (other than a small modicum of easily acquired common sense)

There might still be theft if the person gets their wallet stolen, but that's a burden that sits squarely on the user, and moves the risk completely out of MtGox's sphere of concern.

+21000000

-21000000 MSFT shares

It will not solve the problem if the Bitcoin address is in a wallet that is in a compromised Microsoft Windows computer. One must keep in mind that is the theft is caused by malware on the user's computer in the first place. How is locking the account to a Bitcoin address on the same infected computer going to solve the problem? It only serves to create a false sense of security for the user.

If this was really malware on my PC, the logs would not show the Chinese ip address of 60.166.242.186 accessing my account. After all, wouldn't it be more legitimate to simply use my own ip address to access my account?

The notion that I just 'sat' on my Yubikey sent to me by Mt. Gox is just silly. I had no other use for this piece of junk. I wish I had the wisdom to save some of the images I posted so I could use it to catch Mt. Gox on an inconsistently later but I think this is the end of the line for me on bitcoins. Now that I can't trust the largest BTC exchange, I think I'm done here. Although this might sound harsh to some, I won't be trying any other alternative cryptocurrencies since I see bitcoin as the gold standard. If I can't invest in bitcoins, I definitely can't invest in other alternatives.

Thanks for anyone that helped and believed in my case. I will be pursuing this case a bit further with my local police department but that will be it.

Yes, filing a police report and posting proof of it would also bolster your credibility against Gox as filing a false report is fraud.

I was wrong about the Bitcoin community not being able to do anything except wait for MtGox's response. We should POUND Mark Karpeles with demands for immediate updates to the situation to minimize the amount of time he has to potentially edit logs which would also minimize the time JRam has to potentially edit his logs in response. Perhaps its already too late.

I think preliminary, we can treat this as a VERY good hoax.

Indeed; if the MagicalTux quote from Twitter is to be believed.  Does the OP have anything to say in response to this?  It does seem a shame if JRam tried to take advantage of the bitcoin community if this is true.

I'm out $4,000 but what else can I say to prove my case against the CEO himself? $4,000 might not seem like a lot to the wealthier folks but it is a lot to me. Why would I just sit on my Mt. Gox Yubikey that they sent me and never use it until now?  I have also sent Mt. Gox my real personal info to get the verified account so they should know me very well. The only argument I can make if this CEO keeps falsely claiming that I didn't use my Yubikey is this:

"When you think about it, the IP address that stole my coins was from China and I am based in the US. Any half decent business would find this to be a red flag and delay the withdrawal. Maybe Mt. Gox is deliberately letting these glaring red flags slide? "


Okay, so you deny the allegations. This is going to get messy; Mark could certainly post the logs but it is still effectively his word against yours. He is saying you did not have 2FA enabled at the time of the 'heist'.

You should both now post logs. You can use the API to get info about the account (idk how much): https://data.mtgox.com/api/1/generic/private/info

This would work best if you both posted them at the same time. Perhaps you can upload them somewhere, keep the link private and share it once mark posts logs on his end.

@JRam This would be an even better implementation of the Snowden strategy I outlined above, but do it for everything you can think of: logs, support messages, any other data/proof, etc.

Not really much you can do except wait for Mt. Gox's responses like all of us regarding the specifics of their logs. You should also not reveal MtGox support's private, direct responses to you right away. Wait for them to make public statements regarding this issue. This way, if they lie/make inconsistent statements, you can catch them on their lie/inconsistency (is there is any) by later posting their direct responses to you (think Snowden).

I'm posting to follow this thread, I see three options:
- OP activated his 2fa after the "hack" and used a Chinese proxy/henchman to "steal" his own funds and double up on mtgox
- OP activated his 2fa after the "hack" and plays possum insisting that they were enabled before the theft
- A real hacker disabled 2fa and enabled it back somehow, allowing the theft and only mtgox can tell

MtGox should have the logs to tell exactly when and how many times 2fa has been enabled/disabled on the account.

I seem to recall reading here or on some bitcoin website that MtGox has bought out some small bitcoin businesses and people were complaining that they did this instead of fixing core issues, but now I can't find the link. Does anyone else remember reading the same thing?

Found what I was referencing: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1jsdjh/mt_gox_sponsoring_another_big_bitcoin/

Edit: To clarify, I did not actually come across anything that said MtGox recently bought any businesses. This ad is all there was and I misremembered/confused the ad buy with a business acquisition.
