A Great Time to Start Something!
I've just sold a portion of my bitcoins at 26$ hoping to rebuy at 18$ 14$ and 10$

Good chance to increase my bitcoins wallet count

Rebuy at $24!

Host in Luxembourg. Transfer domain offshore. Use CloudFlare to protect it from the DDOS attacks that will be coming. Then, BALLIN'

Why Luxembourg? They are part of the EU. If I were to choose a country more resilient to political pressure I'd go with Switzerland.

opensource the mtgox and silk road...

How much is copyleft source worth? I bet it could be made to appear for some reasonable number of coins.

If the price is right, I'm sure the programmers would be happy to release their code, especially considering that their site is underr imminent threat of attack by "the authorities", so now would be an excellent time for them to dump their operation.

Bitcoin is decentralized you can't shut it down.
They can harass MtGox to hell though or DDOS it into oblivion and screw with the price, since there's no real competitors for MtGox

Everybody create a MtGox clone that accepts and pays out in LR, HDmoney and EuroGoldCash

No real competitors to MtGox, eh?

Hosted by Godaddy and reg'd through Godaddy. Domain pull and server seizure imminent by feds.
If the escrow wallet.dat is on jomax.net servers this service is doomed.

Wow. Look at those falling bitcoin prices though.

Already down almost $10!

I guess the fantastic gains were a bit fragile.

Dude, that was mean!  I had to check!

We should check and see what percentage of their campaign donations come, directly or indirectly from banks.

bitcoin - the aerogel of money
The internet is the steam engine.

Bitcoin is the railways.

And Chuck&Joe are the stagecoach lobby calling to crack down on railways because they cause motion sickness.

I suspect it's going to be a rough couple of weeks for Mark Karpeles.

I wish them the best of luck.

Let's all keep in mind it's Bitcoin they're afraid of, the SR is just an excuse.

They send a letter to cry baby to DOJ, DEA ... I am thinking they will be disappoint.

The 'tubes man, always thwarting a good senator's will!

It sure was a quick jump from targeting the drug site to "We need to kill bitcoins!"


I'm afraid so my friend.  The SR might even be a setup from a government agency in order to entrap people and of course target bitcoins.  BTC has the power to upset the Feds monopoly on currency issuance.  That is a thing that all central banks of the world are going to be up in arms about.

And the government doesn't care a lick about drugs, that's a bunch of trash.  Our 'gov' has been dealing in narco-terrorist activities for a long while and loves the fact that they're illegal it creates a black market and ungodly profits.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

I don't believe in God, but if I did, it would be the Internet God.
