Why would anyone obtain this account? Is it of value?

What are you talking about? Do you suspect that this thread is a scam?

Ethereum trading is open for a few days now. Why did you buy or sell? It will be interesting to see what motivations people have for trading.

Please only comment if you actually made a trade and put money where your mouth is. We don't need further loose predictions from non-stakeholders here.

Would a moderator please close this endless stream of scam messages? This thread helps no one.

Great job.

What is "Early adopter cold storage"?

Talk to bitcoinbuilder.com. They represent tons of MtGox customers.

Doing further research it seems that 0.9 seems to have coin control. That's great news!

Googling for "coin control" it seems that this is a non-standard feature not available in the official Bitcoin-qt. I do not like to trust other clients or branches. I'd like to have that feature available, though. Better than locking outputs.

Raw transactions seem error-prone to me. One mistake and the coins are gone.

Looks like I passed in true instead of false. With your example I tested it to work. Thanks!

As a feature request, it would be useful to have the ability to lock all outputs except for a given list of outputs. That would make it easy to send from a specific output bypassing the usual coin selection logic.

So why did you stop buying?

According to the history of those addresses at most two victims have been scammed. Are there other scam addresses?

Well, it looks totally legit to me. I think you should open the attachment!

I would very happily buy from that person at a near-zero price. I don't see a problem with that situation.

Furthermore, why would he sell off at low prices? He will not do that.

Yes, I did this. When I initially left it out I received an error. After filling it in the error went away.

Source? Proof?

In Bitcoin Qt, I tried to lock unspent outputs. My intention was to lock all but one to force a particular output to be selected for a transaction.

I understand it should work like this:

• call lockunspent with a list of outputs
• call listlockunspent and observe that all specified outputs are actually locked

Unfortunately, none are locked in my testing. What am I doing wrong? There was no error message. I entered the command in the debug window.

Edit: I reviewed the source code and I did not find any obvious usage errors on my part. Debugging the client is beyond my abilities, though.

Could a mod please rename the thread? The title is misleading and it catches more attention than it should. Wouldn't "Has MtGox shut down?" have been enough?

I get that question a lot.

I'd say they accidentally deployed a new website feature which is to lock all bitcoins for 6 month. They'll probably announce it soon enough. According to the date from the screenshot, they'll lock them in tomorrow.

Looks like they've finally decided not to pay.

Reminds me of the Greece/Cyprus haircuts. "Just give us a little more time and extend our credit lines. We promise we'll pay!".

And it's gone!

I am not sure this a suitable to be on by default. This will cause a great amount of lost bitcoins because unsophisticated users are careless.
