Mark Karpeles sure going to spill his Chai Tea Frappucino with soy milk and honey roasted almond topping all over his keyboard once he sees that.

Haha. Gox really needs to be boycotted by everyone though.

There won't even be a boycott needed. I think mtgox will close shop by themselves next month.

That's funny. They kept Mt. Gox in the price index when it was 15-20% above everybody else. But as soon as Mt. Gox dropped below everybody else, it's out.

One of the China-based indexes did that, too. The effect has been to pump the price of Bitcoin for months.

Classic Bitcoin cultists.

Mark Karpeles is Bitcoin's Edward Snowden. Blowing the whistle on the corrupt Bitcoin foundation who are trying to sweep their mistakes under the rug.

Lols, you are really comparing those two? Or you're trolling again?

I want to see coinwarz remove gox completely, so I don't have to look at their bullshit figures ever again, and a lot more things to happen...

banned but not broken

Good to see some development.

Don't cheer yet. This problem is only solved after MtGox is closed and the risk of another "MtGox" emerging is minimized.

thank you!

About time. I have often been annoyed to see the alleged Gox price absurdly at variance with every other reputable or semi-reputable exchange, but yet have it cited repeatedly in the media and elsewhere as if it is an actual price. A real price is something you can get for the commodity. An exchange that doesn't let you cash out for weeks does not have any business issuing a price, and nobody should take such a price as anything other than fiction.

These clowns should be drummed out of the community.
