The target audience is people with 'general PC knowledge' hence the overall simplification.

yes people like me who don't know what the hell you programmers are talking about

 btw can anyone explain how to partial quote?

sepa is sort of a domestic batch process for the Eurozone...what I gather from Wikipedia anyway...only 4 years old ,not well implemented yet..similar to ach batches rather than instant wires...might be wrong though

 I see 4 types imagined

domestic batches       (sepa,ach) usually 3 day before batch is processed
international  batches (not sure but pay processors like dwolla seem to fit the descrip) 7 dayprocess?

domestic individual instant wires ( what sepa is trying to implement ,swift) instant meaning same day
international instant wires                         (swift w iban account number) same day by 2pm plus hops

id appreciate any corrections as i'm interested in understanding normal processing time versus the current gox times..thanks

why choose 3 as a place for seperators....why not one after 4 places as in 1.2345,6789

much easier IMO although I prefer none

on that note ,realize that in usd , the value to make  the last digit worth even a cent has to surpass

drumroll...1 mil !

a dime       "      0.1         "    "    "      "            (at startup)
1 usd                0.01                                      (few tears ago)
10 usd              0.001                                    (recently)
100usd renders 0.0001 equal to one cent         (currently)
1,000usd          0.00001                                 (possibly)
10,000usd        0.000001                                not likely
100,000usd      0.0000001                              dollar died by this time
1million usd      0.0000,0001                           no contest- btc declared world currency

therefore anyone betting in the last four digits are joking around wasting time or expecting future winnings to be  worth  a few thousand dollars if the last scenario happens. betting at the fifth level and waiting for economic armegeddon might be worth it   but most likley no one w food gives a rats ass about btc and people are knifing each other for that to happen!

btw is that an android v 20 you've got there (stab,stab!)

insolvency just means assets that are not liquid enough to meet operating cash flow(incuding customer withdrawals).... maybe partially insolvent is the better term as 10 million is held illiquid in court...they still hold assets  so are not bankrupt meaning all assets are falling near or below zero net worth and cant meet liabilities...standard function; total assets(a)=  total liabilities(l) + net equity (E) even if equity is zero...they definitely are not bankrupt but its possible insolvency applies even if just at the edge of meeting operational cahflow

even if they win the case but lose the other fed case they may still be insolvent but less likey to fold as loans could be floated since they  are provably a money maker with amount of daily v
olume ( although most of that volume was in april and may only)

yeah I think their defense about breach of contract for noncompliance in registering is legit (although I think excessive regulation requirements are hindering startups)... would rather see gox win whos run the biggest exchange for 4 years than a business that isn't sure what its own buseness entails...seems theyre off on other ventures now funding companies while holding money of customers elsewhere...gox is in the right imo and the lab is wrong...a failed experiment hence why lab was in the name...lol

it would be pertinent to have gox get loans floated to them to stay solvent  until they receive the money back if they are expecting their evidence will win outright ,then payoff the loans w trust account won at trial

btc is high right now...buying now will bring losses unless you think its going 'to the moon' in the near future...realistically. wait until a low point near 115 or even 100 ....and asic miners ,,well you heard about them...in other words....WAIT!

hopefully the other 5 mil of customer accounts was not used as startup or operating cash to buy licences shortly after the temporary deadline expired...that would be simple fraud just the same as mf global..customer account cash should stay separate from operating cash

at this point im no fan of gox but in all honesty I think their motive for having the us proxy accounts(mut. sigil. ; wells fargo) was to keep most of the u.s. order book money necessarily off the books and out of the handling of dwolla except for that which was moving in/out as fiat transfers.... imagine 10 mil is on the books of u.s customers  but only 25%  (2.5 mil) was moving as fiat withdraw transfers with 75% or (7,5 mil )staying on the exchange and on the order books..there would be no reason to put the whole 10 mil in control of dwolla...even acting as agent in money transmitting doesn't mean they should not use the proxy accounts to keep effective control of u.s. order book money. ..and moving only whats needed monthly or quarterly for adjustment of the 'withdraw to fiat' percentages over to the acting transmitter agent 'dwolla'... the funny part is the new agreement was  an exclusive u.s contract...were they going to effectively snub dwolla?(an iowa based company) ,,,or is dwolla more involved than first thought?(buyout of dwolla maybe?)owner of dwolla would stand to make a nice profit in a buyout...or was it a pure snub that was happening behind their backs...interesting

anyway I don't think the proxy accounts would need to be registered on the receive side from dwolla as long as the withdraw side of dwolla was the agent of transfer to customers in fiat and the withdraw account maintained correctly by gox...whers the law that says you cant transfer money to the agent of transfer so they can handle customer requests?.............its possible the silent shield was not from from federal prying eyes but merely a shield(firewall) between legitimate order book money and dwollas fiat withdraw account in case people at dwolla decided to run with the money they didn't necessarily need to have on hand.........anywho !!!

$5,000,000 constructive trust ...?
That's a good move and a good idea.
I suppose so ,however I was questioning ,does that mean a wind down of gox w full customer payback or is this trust to create a handshake to go forward on the deal...the statement of' not getting the transmitter license points to the previous rather than the latter...would a trust point to the windown of coinlab leaving gox in a position to stay solvent (once the trust is safely remitted back to gox) ? then of course theres still the 5 mil taken by  the fincen treasury fellas ! btc seems like a joke right now and I thought would have potential beyond this amount of fraud but as a percentage of market cap in scale to the whole economy it seems on par and equal to fiat in that regard
