I also like calling a scammer a Karpeles...

anybody? anybody?

And once you've been scammed by a Karpeles that's known as being 'Frappuchionoed'. Cheesy

Gets creepy when people start to see you "Around" and then start to make fun of you and then are named 'hailariousandco'

Should be fuckinghilariousandco

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 justice

You don't even need three words, just the one, but I think goxxed will become known for many different things - being scammed, shoddy service, exchanges holding funds for ages etc.

Goxxed is a perfect word to describe what happened. Using well known nouns as verbs is a common phenomenon. Google it. Grin

goxxed has its own entry in the urban dictionary which I think is very apt.

I think Mt.Gox's name being used to describe "being screwed due to incompetence or fraud" is a fitting end to this sad joke of an exchange.

I think Goxxed is proper term. Everyone in community knows what it means.

Life is short, practice empathy in your life

Goxed = scamming nerds in a technologically sophisticated way. Etymology: 2010s from Mt.Gox, a former Magic The Gathering cards exchange turned into the world's biggest bitcoin exchange and subsequently pulling off the biggest online heist in the history of the internet.

What does everyone here think about dropping the term, "Goxxed," and start using the term, "fractionalized" or even "banked"?

Gox was never a bank, even a fake one. They didn't lend or invest money. They just stole it.

I disagree, "goxxed" is a pretty awesome word. It has the right amount of glottal "pungency" that allows it to carry the implied negative connotation that is embedded in the word.

[On a side note, I chuckle a little each time I hear it because I've been hearing that word for a while (with a completely different meaning) in the semiconductor industry.]

After all, fractionalizing has been around long before bitcoin and MtGox.

It is a unique process, so ripe for an uniquely new word.

Besides, you are of course right about banks. Nothing to add there.

A Great Time to Start Something!

Gox was/is a huge part of the early years.
Goxed is probably the more common spelling.
The word isn't terrible........the damage was.

Because Mt Gox was not named Mt Fractionalize or Mt Bank.
