Oh gawd. If you've just called it and the MtGox lagscam is transitioning towards the "unlock riches" model I'm going to have to apologize if I've ever been mean.

stop spreading FUD plz. Thanks Smiley

mt.gox is fine.

And who is that exactly?

Mr. Herp Derp of the Internets, esquire. You've not heard of him?

I changed to Bitstamp. Working fine. Fast withdrawal, and generally better functionality. Arbitrage is a pity though, but that is basically a result of the malfunction at gox.

wasn't it only fiat withdrawals that needed verification?...now you need verification for coin transfers too?...when did this change?

More than a year ago, when they started asking driver licence and utility bill for KYC compliance, I decided to remove all bitcoins from MtGox..  To do so, I had to send them my personal information.. I was outraged to being force to send them personal info to withdraw BTC !

Did'nt used MtGox since then, and happy to use alternative exchanges to trade.

Later, I read somewhere that they made mistake in the documents handling, and there may have lead to leak of info (not sure about the validity of this info)

I'm amaze that Gox still have that volume market share after all the stuff that happened.. to date...

Mt. Gox has been a honeypot (where willingly or unwittingly) since mid 2011.

I thought everyone knew that already?

dyodd.

This makes sense to to me.  So the volume is close on bitstamp because that is where people are going to actually move money in/out of bitcoin, while all the day traders are sitting on gox.  Anyone buying bitcoins would be crazy to wire to mtgox instead of bitstamp.  I had a look at the order books, and bitstamp has about 5000 coins on each side within $10 of the current price.  Mtgox has 20-25k coins on each side.  So that is some 4-5x deeper.  Still, the trend is moving towards bitstamp.  

At the moment are 93,768฿ and 13,428.655$ in Mt. Goxs order book. You have to use full depth, e.g.:

https://data.mtgox.com/api/1/BTCUSD/depth/full

There's probably a lot more money on Gox. But what is in the order book is definitely there.

What safety deficiencies are you talking about?

You have no API keys. You always have to use your password that gives you full access to your account. Even for a bot, which runs on a dedicated server.

You have no hardware tokens (YubiKeys e.g.) for the 2FA. Only the Google authentication with your mobile phone.

And please stop claiming Gox be a Ponzi. This just creates fog on words. Gox offers a service, Ponzis don't do.
I wouldn't put money on MtGox having turned into a ponzi, but currently they are only *claiming* to offer a service. That's exactly what ponzies do too.

ok, the withdrawel-issue is annoying, and you're right, it seems they don't offer this service for real. But they have a lag machine, that's a service ...

FIFY. Also you forget the lying machine. Also "a service".

+1 lol
