don't worry about mtgox or Mark Karpeles. just don't leave your coins there for any length of time.

he's proven to be the most honest and most established of all exchange owners. just get your buys done and get the coins out as expeditiously as possible and you'll be just fine.

Also, cypherdoc was an (admitted) paid shill for a failed ASIC "pre-order" company, I'd be very cautious with whatever he says. Grin

ah yes, Kouye, you little rat and KNC shill. no wonder you go silent when asked a direct question:

yeah and you're just an idiot making false claims about a "failed" company that is just about to deliver its product, albeit late. as well as making allegations against me for supporting them in an open fashion. impatient and intolerant ppl like you are what makes this community so tense.

The HashFast "BabyJet” ASIC mining machine will be a first-of-its-kind technology (400GH/s per ASIC chip, significantly less than 1 Watt per GH/s) slated for delivery by late October.

so i believed them about the estimated shipping timeframe they gave me. how is that an indictment? am i an employee of the company or in control of their product line? no.

did you order a Hashfast? or are you a KNC miner?

Until another CoinLab vs MtGox makes MtGox go insolvent because justice declares so.
Watch your steps, anyway, don't keep any significant amount on any exchange, stay light and agile.

There is no risk-free way to do what you want at the moment, people don't move $250k through investments often with bitcoin currently like with NYSE.

There is no way to make sure.
If you can, split your investment among major exchanges (Gox and Stamp, as you said, consider BTCChina, too, if you can).
Depending on where you live, there are some smaller local exchanges too. For example, bitcoin.de, bitcoin-central.net, etc. (in europe, at least).
Spreading the risk looks like the safest bet, as any exchange might become the next scam.

I'm looking to make a deposit of roughly $250k into a major exchange (Gox or Bitstamp). I'm wondering if anyone out there has some advice for making sure those funds are secure or if there is another route. I'll be making thousands of transactions a day.
