Re: Proof/clue of an acquisition of MtGOX

IT'S A TRAP.
Think about it. No serious company leaves comments like this in their source code. What is even a point of such comment? For the worker in night shift to let him know what he should work on? For their PR dept which apparently edits HTML?
It's clearly their intent for us to see that and follow a certain plan, just like that pump few days ago when they let through few transactions and the price jumped to $300.

im not sure what their motivations are if they wanna pump though?
- to sell? isn't it much easier to move coins to other exchanges to do that?
- to go bankrupt in some weird fashion? sure like going bankrupt directly is a bad idea that they have to create extra drama.

It fairly clear that the leaked document is written by the folks that have acquired mtgox. It lays out what they are going to do with the failed company. It says they will rebrand and relaunch as Gox.

if this is true and the believe they can pull it off...and gox really did just lose 6% of their funds as claimed..if they believe in bitcoin 'rebounding' from the low prices they can get gox for now....and they do wait a month

it is possible this may just work

but man that is a lot a lot of ifs

and how would they know anything he tells them is true? as far as the real status of the company at this point?

anyway we will see

Searing



where did the 6% come from? is that a statement mt gox made?

Re: US freaks out on MT. Gox meanwhile China hoards all the coins....

Wow, that's insane. China's just sucking it all in, like a big fuck off vacuum cleaner.

In the last 15min, China brought about 6k BTC, 38BTC were brought by the US and 2.5B in EUR lol

There was a significant fee reduction on BTC China, good move by their management to keep trading going, the market liquid, so we are less likely to see huge price swings as GOX mess unwinds...

The Bitcoin community of active miners is larger than the staff of Google, yet their stock is valued over $600. That hardly seems fair that we have to pay so much for something issued by so few people.

Are you kidding, are you so blind that you don't see how much value Google provides? Everyday, I pay nothing to do ~20 searches a day, get best email service in the world, get best calendar in the world, and get a couple minutes of entertainment from YouTube.

Maybe I should correct myself, I am sure even blind people get a lot of value out of google.

Re: Just lost 190 bitcoins through Mt. Gox

i'm going to be honest..

at this point in time.. there is no way this can be adopted my the masses who barely know how to use computers, are vulnerable etc..
people still fall for nigerian scams.. not everyone is "elite" as some members on here may think they are.. and frankly will never be.
the general population of the world will never be able to use this with so many security pitfalls and lack of guarantees (and no way to verify things).

by stating "bitcoin" owner beware.. doesn't really mean much. i'm sure if some big business like a hotel had all their coins stolen then most of the hotels would hear about it and never touch this thing.
the scammers (as will as in real life too) can easily ruin the whole ecosystem since it's much easier to jack stuff than in real life (bank heists are tough), you can do theft worth a lot of money and probably nothing is easier than with the bitcoins.

i'm not trying to be negative i just want people to understand with the way things are on the internets by solely claiming user beware does not create a good ecosystem

i totally agree, to be honest i think OP's situation must occur in real life online banking, poker sites, etc.

having no centralized agent controlling bitcoin is a double edged sword, like OP suggests everybody needs to be careful and MORE knowledgeable.
basically no centralized agent is going to protect you in also in the fine prints.

Re: Thoughts on the releases of ASIC miners

Anyone know how reputable are these guys?

ASICs are notorious for being constantly delayed because the cost of making a mistake is extremely high. As for which people will benefit, it's gonna be neither or both, BFL and its customers.
