I asked and was told that such an option does not exist.

Trying to invest... but apparently BTCT.co isn't accepting new registrations? Anyone know what the deal is there?

Soon, wait for the Winklevoss ETF.

Very little volume, very few clients. Really no point in trading there yet. Total volume over the last 24h I believe was 2.5 coins.

Nothing new in the last month. Was this thread abandoned, or are these meetups no longer taking place?

The other 3 @ 1.8

The issue is that MTGox is not processing withdrawals for the most part. If you believe that your withdrawal will eventually pay out, then it's more of an issue of having funds stuck for an undetermined amount of time, as opposed to being cycled into additional arbitrage betting. Apparently, some are receiving withdrawals in JPY. Generally, bank exchange rates back and forth, in addition to wire fees, will eat away at profits from these bets.

Looks like his issue was resolved. How about yours?

To the best of my knowledge, nothing has changed here. People are still waiting for their withdrawals from July etc.

It does look like the price of btc has stablized between the exchanges who are actually processing withdrawals, however. Very unfortunate, as this ruins our wonderful previously available 10% arbitrage abilities.

More opportunities exist including other brokerages, can you add btc-e and virtex? More realistic due to withdrawal processing issues with gox etc.

Inability to cash out of Gox makes this difficult.

Please elaborate on why you believe this to be true.

I can sell my bitcoins to Bitcoiniacs for $101/btc. If i click on your link for localbitcoins, I can sell my bitcoins in Vancouver for $133/btc.

No, if you want to sell your BTC to them, they will pay $101. If you would like to purchase BTC from them, they're asking $124. About 20% more expensive than local competition, but cool and convenient.

MTGox current value: $130
Their offer $101.35

I do like their sign, and it's very cool that we have a local B&M for this however. Would be a good option in an emergency.

I'm too new to send a PM here. Please send a message my way with an alternate method of contact. Thanks.

Have you tried conducting six figure transactions through Gox? This guy is willing to provide cash and gold plates, clearly anonymity/privacy are of concern here.

You can also load your backup file using a program such as Multibit in order to retrieve your bitcoins. It's setup so that even if something happens to the blockchain site/database, your bitcoins are safe. Please keep us updated regarding your situation here.
