Topic: "Goxxed" is a terrible word - page 2. (Read 3503 times)
Never used gox, but still got craptogoxed and lost all my zeitcoin. Worser things have happened.
As long as there's a Mt. Gox or Gox exchange re-opening soon, getting "Goxed" will remain as part of our vocabulary.
Let's hope they learn after their relaunch. Personally, I'd rather them be completely gone, but I still want to see the community that traded with them get their restitution first.

Courts and lawyers will eat up a huge % of the remaining money.
Gox is probably dead forever.

Agreed.

Karpeles Tunnel Syndrome - exchange to exchange to exchange
I agree on retaining Goxed as a new term. I've used it several times in 4 days, it just kinda rolls out intuitively with regard for people getting ripped off.
Karped - scamming one
Goxed - scamming many
KTS - exchanges biting it in succession
works.

It was a huge part bitcoin history for better or for worse. The term likely here to stay.
but saying "you been goxxed" is excellent. because just those 3 words gives people knowledge that
1) a person was scammed out of funds
2) the scam happened in december 2013

'Goxxed' is a term that was in general use well before December 2013. This last event was not Gox's first round of screwing users.
Gox started Goxing way back in June 2011.
When all the email addresses were released (after a hack/notebook computer theft) was the first time I got Goxed.
Soon after Gox helped make BTC crash all the way down to 1 penny, and many people got Goxed!

saying "you been scammed" is not very descriptive.
but saying "you been goxxed" is excellent. because just those 3 words gives people knowledge that
1) a person was scammed out of funds
2) the scam happened in december 2013
3) the scam involved the exchange MT.Gox
4) the perpetrator was mark karpales
5) the perp' got away with atleast 740k btc
and soo on.
so i love the term as 3 words can open up so much information, where words such as:

Quote
"fractionalized" or even "banked"
do not even do the event justiceGetting 'goxed' should become the de facto word describing getting scammed by crypto-currency businesses. It will go down in history and as a reminder how amateurish bitcoin was in the early days.
no, it should be used for the singular event
such as getting zhou tong'd is a known term for the bitcoinica event. (sorry noobs, thats before your time)
such as "i was at 9-11" is a known term for being at or very near the towers at that disaster.
to try watering down the pure disastrous and epic meaning of a term by linking it to any bad experience simply dilutes its meaning entirely, and it no longer becomes epic. so please keep terms for singular events, otherwise they become meaningless.
goxxed should remain solely for a event involving MT.Gox, pure and simple
Part of me agrees with this, but part of me feels it'd be shame to limit a word that has such a unique kick to one event.
I think because of the newness of the event, the words does dilute its impact at the moment; but given enough time, that diluting will occur likewise. Personally, I see it doing the opposite, those in the know, will still understand the impact of that word, but it'll also add a tinge of richness to the already jumbled up English vocabulary. I'm not trying to appeal to ignorance (argument-wise), but there are lots of words that have etymologies that are vastly different from their present-day connotations.
It's like only calling Ponzis a Ponzi if they were carried out by Charles Ponzi.

Goxxed sounds good enough, also keeps the name of the company which cheated everybody. After all, humans have short memories
Goxxed sounds like a new trend word, that will probably get in the dictionary soon. Sounds good enough for it.

Not at all. That's not how this works. Plus Mt Gox might not even exist anymore.
What does everyone here think about dropping the term, "Goxxed," and start using the term, "fractionalized" or even "banked"?
After all, fractionalizing has been around long before bitcoin and MtGox.
