Gox is also planning a subscription based fee service instead of a percentage per trade.

What? Really? That would most certainly reduce volume.

gox said themselves there should be some more exchange competition which is half the reason the fee is so "high"

and maybe it will be, as soon as alternate exchanges become popular and trustworthy.

I imagine mtgox hires multiple people to run the thing efficiently, and then there are fixed costs of server/office. I imagine they have a pretty healthy profit, but profit margin should be around 50% or so.

Though I agree the fee is kinda high if volume really picks up. I think a $100,000 trade doesn't really cost that much more than a $10 trade. It should be a flat fee based model, like most stock brokers.  Or at least do a flat fee past a certain dollar amount.

1 million * .0065 = 6 500

not bad for one day, I wish I would have made mt gox Sad

I concur on the Dwolla processing. People's transfers are probably (finally) starting to go through. I expect another leap in price now that people who have been itching to get BTC can finally get in.

it takes newbs over a week to get into gox via dwolla here in the US, it may be quicker for other countries, not sure about them

big surprise since mtgox has been so stagnant all day that I'm afraid it will start breeding mosquitoes.
