If anyone still have fiat stuck on Gox, please PM me and I will get it out for you at 100%. I can only do this for fiat.
February 16, 2014, 06:12:16 AM
lol @ anyone thinking the Gox staff is going to "cut and run". Have people become that stupid? I guess the current price is a reflection of massive herd mentality and stupidity. Oh well, more profit for me.

Put a buy in a $4 as its all the gox bux I have. Lets see if it gets filled.
However with these prices and residing in Japan with access to a "faster" deposit I am seriously considering injecting a little fiat.
Talk me out of it?

Having the same thought...
So talk us both out of it.
I'm very jealous of both of you. I would've deposited last week, sold the GoxBTC into real BTC and come around for round 2 by now.
Instead I'm waffling around trying to decide if it makes any sense to do an international wire.
February 16, 2014, 06:11:44 AM
What is really bizarre in all this is that holders of GoxBTC can currently exchange them for realBTC at 0.78 at bitconbuilder.com,
Perhaps MtGOX clients are not aware of that possibility.
Perhaps there is some snag or limitation. Can they reallly do that with any amount of goxBTC?

Checking my account info thought...
I got an email on Feb 3 that said:
We are pleased to announce that you are now able to enjoy our new and improved Japanese Domestic Transfer method to fund your MtGox account.
Starting from today onward please use the following banking information to start funding your account.
If you lost this email do not worry as this information is also available on the Funding option > Add Funds > Japanese Domestic transfer tab.
However I can not find any "domestic transfer" option in the funding.
Even if I wanted to it seems I can't. Probably for the best.
Can anyone else in Japan confirm that they have a "domestic transfer" tab?

Gox is very keen to offer Funding options, deposit through Moneypolo , Astropay etc. But no new options for 'Withdrawals'
Does it ring a bell ?

Look at the http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/ daily volume. May be all other markets are complete joke?
I like the looks of Bitcoincharts plots, but apparently they have some ideological grudge against Huobi and OKCoin, and will not even mention them. Their volume piecharts are meaningless (and do not say what time interval they cover)

So talk us both out of it.
Sounds like the plan at Gox is working.
I believe it is probably likely that Gox will not open withdrawals tomorrow. And, if they do come back with a reply that is vague (likely) it will cause even more dumping driving the price lower or at least keeping it in the 200s. So if I could get money there by Tuesday morning there may still be a shot at cheap coins.
On the flip side, if withdrawal opens on Monday then (best scenario) I've tied up my money for 3-4 weeks trying to repatriate it to my account, or, (worst scenario) Gox is insolvent and I've thrown good money after bad. Decisions... decisions...

Why would you buy goxBTC at .7 when its closer to .45 atm 
Cause Its still a profit in btc, until you convert it to FIAT. Its a great deal ( big margin) if currently you have FIAT on Gox.
February 16, 2014, 05:58:50 AM
45k btc to 0 on gox, I wonder how many coins are going to fly from gox on withdrawal re-opening

I'm pretty sure most of that is Willy(?) selling into their own walls...
Willy is the mad bot buyer. Billy is his alter ego
So why the bid sum keep diminishing ?
I'm pretty sure Billy prefers gox-usd rather than gox-btc , cause Billy thinks gox bankruptcy is highly probable..

I am thinking they will make another announcement tomorrow as the offices will be open again. But by then it might already be too late.
I suppose the real question is what is the likelihood of them cutting and running? That is the fear that's driving all this madness.
Take a risk and maybe loose a tiny bit of cash if they run, or perhaps score the last sub $300 coins in history?
