Good morning guys, what is up ? did I miss anything, I dont want to go through the last 20 pages so can anyone summarize what is happening ?

I have been up for 20 hours and still have no idea what's going on. Sure, some news this morning regarding gox, mark etc but the dump have been going on for a good 20 hours now. Would like some clarity as well

I once played a single game of Pacman (flipping the high score a number of times) on Atari from the time I got up until my parents got home. I was afraid they'd get mad I had played the whole day so I shut it off as they pulled in. My eyes still hurt.

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.

If this is the case.... in my personal estimation that would be the best outcome of this entire debacle (assuming it really is taken over by competent people). You don't get the bad press of a major exchange completely failing, you get Karples and his cronies out of the picture, and hopefully true market forces can restore order to this circus. If the exchange becomes is compentent, solvent and transparent, would be a great thing for everyone.

seems like wishfull thinking

but hey, they made a site for it and everything, http://mtgoxtakeover.com/ not sure if this is some sort of elaborate scam tho...

The fact that you can't withdraw fiat or bitcoins from a Bitcoin exchange was the first serious indication that there is foul play going on. Wink

Weren't there other signs:

* The price 10% over other exchanges

* The replaying of transactions during the December/2013 crash

The exchange rate being 10% over other exchanges was due to the fact that you couldn't withdraw fiat.

But yes, there were plenty of other signs. There were signs back in 2011.

Considering we are deflating from a bubble, I doubt Gox going away is going to bring up the price immediately to $1000+ like most of you are thinking.

To me it seems the same, as if people would have told that "Spacewar!" will be the computer game that will be played by everyone for several decades.

"Spacewar?" ....perhaps Space Invaders or Asteroids. Personally, I was all over Phoenix.

space invaders. still playing it on atari simulator.

This is actually good news. I applaud Mark and the MtGox team for making the right decision as I had to do the same. Speaking very lengthy to Mark and the team over the weekend, I see good news on the horizon for people who have funds stuck in MtGox (I also have funds in MtGox stuck) - Charlie

@bitnub 1 point 1 hour ago
When you say funds... do you mean USD, BTC or both?

A small amount of BTC.

Gox is so bad that for some reason they think I'm Romanian or something like that so "cancel" order link is now named "annuluy" Grin

Same on my account. And I think it's in Polish. Perhaps related to their polish bank account ?

Might be.
