The most interesting notion that Gox may be being purchased by outsiders makes a TON of sense!!

Imagine you're Mark-- totally sick of running your company, dudes are getting in your way while you're carrying your scrumptious coffee-beverage to work (idiots), and no one really understands your pure awesomeness... you have maybe 10,000 BTC (idk!?!?) and someone offers you millions!! to walk away from gox == yummy coffee-beverages without idiots.

What would you do?

Win-Win-Win

It actually adds up nicely.

Nice. And maybe you can insert a nice little backdoor in the code before you sell it, too.

That'd be visible in the source code repostory history,... wait. Maybe he doesn't have that... anything is possible.

Now, THAT would be typical bitcoin-drama.

I almost forgot that's how it goes.

Just a short question:

What trading software do you use, if you use any?

OK, ignoring that I 'use' gox to trade, when we aren't in a post-exponential shit-storm, I keep a subscription to Sierra Chart and run it on a virtual PC to watch the chart and do my TA magicky stuff. The problem with the exchanges is that they essentially 'break' when you can really make good money, forcing your orders to the sidelines (they're non-reactive to market and limit order on volume spikes) and so it almost doesn't matter anyway. I'm prolly not the right one to ask.
windjc, seleme, aminorex, adambtsgtsrtdtdtsdts... who else trades a ton?

Hope that helps.

Too... much... sense... does... not compute...

Simple explanations go against the goal of a quarter of the members here, which is to talk up their books and make money at the expense of others. Sock puppet accounts, multiple personalities, bad manners, liberal profanity and a tenuous grasp of English are all optional but encouraged. Acting lessons are recommended to create convincing personas. If you don't see pages full of ignored posts you're not doing it right.

Well, THAT's true. You got me there.

Honestly, I suspect Mark's ability to ignore the mounting nastiness of this situation is waning, no matter how intelligent he may be-- no man is an island, and the amount of pressure, no matter his intention, in this environment must be quite high. There's even crazy German dudes threatening him, publicly. At some point, everyone breaks (loses) and takes an 'out'.

Mit.Gox CEO宣布退出比特币基金会比特币价格继续下跌
Today at 05:54:49 AM

Reply with quote #1
几日前，Mt.Gox被曝将可能面临被关闭的命运。据悉，近段时间出现的一个漏洞导致该平台无法验证比特币交易的唯一性，进而导致刷钱行为出现的可能性。随后，Mt.Gox被迫关闭掉比特币的提现功能来遏制该种威胁。因为这次的事故导致了比特币价格开始出现了下跌。

现在看来，这种消极的情绪在比特币市场中继续蔓延。日前，Mt.Gox CEO宣布退出比特币基金会。比特币基金会是一个致力于监管比特币这种虚拟货币流通的机构。
Coinbase发现了Mt.Gox CEO Mark Karpeles提交的博文。虽然该篇文章并未交代Karpeles离开的真正原因，但是从种种迹象推断，其出走很大可能则是因为Mt.Gox在过去几个月内遭受的技术故障。

Extrapolating from Chinese --> English on google translate, it's all stuff people reading this thread already know. It seems to say that Mt. Gox had to close bitcoin withdrawals, prices crashed as a result, and he's out of the Bitcoin Foundation.

Blitz:The price affects the perception of the news

Sheesh! Leave you kids alone with my market for a while and look what you've done to it. Grin

Alright, I seem to have digested the most recent newses and mostly agree with your collective assessments.

Now, some one with loads of experience, please tell me why Stamp is ~10 bucks below BTC-e.

Anyone who trusts the words of "Charlie" is dumb.

Anyone who trusts anything posted here by anybody, especially new members with a tenuous grasp of English, is dumb. Besides he confirmed it on his official twitter feed.

How does the same person confirming what they said previously make the initial claim more valid?

Shrem linked to his official Twitter account confirming that he was who he claimed to be on Reddit. Unless someone hacked his Twitter that's good enough for me.

Something interesting is happening at the moment I think. Gox remove their tweets, relocate their office and that link few pages back saying "light at the end of the tunnel for gox customers". Maybe the exchange really is being sold to some more competent people? We'll see, we'll see.

Indeed, lot of stuff happened in few hours. Resignation from Bitcoin FOundation, tweets deleted, something's going on.

Mark really throwing his toys out of the pram.

They've been acting dodgy for the past month and now everyone thinks something is wrong? I cannot believe people have wired money to them!

Greed.... i hope those idiots lost all their money.
