Why not use the weighted prices from Bitcoincharts?

My gmail account was among the leaked account details. I just logged in a couple of minutes ago and Google prompted me to change my password before I could access my inbox. I'm guessing someone cracked the MD5 hash and tried to access my gmail account. Good thing I didn't use the same password.

There is a $1000 per day withdrawl limit, so in order to get more bitcoins out, they had to crash the market close to 0 first. And that is what happened today.

Actually people on #mtgox say the limit is 50BTC or 1000 USD per day.

No, they really did get hacked- or at least someone leaked their accounts. Find yourself here:



Then, someone started cracking the MD5 password hashes and then, with passwords in hand, trying various accounts until they found one with lots of money. There is a $1000 per day withdrawl limit, so in order to get more bitcoins out, they had to crash the market close to 0 first. And that is what happened today.

The End.

My email is in there. The leak is real. fuck

Definitely not. Mining requires a pretty large up-front investment nowadays, both in time and money, and I can't afford it right now. Also, mining is getting increasingly difficult. I'm considering investing some of the bitcoins I bought in one of the companies listed on http://glbse.com.

These restrictions suck. You need to be an establised user to be able to post in the forum, and you became an established user by posting in the forum. Kind of a chicken-and-egg problem.
