I don't do Reddit much, but just contributed.

If you didn't know, Mark had nothing to do with the original MtGox (Magic the Gathering Exchange) he bought it from Jed after it had already been converted to the largest bitcoin exchange.

Let's hope so. This AMA is actually an AMA request ... we need to convince them to do the AMAs.
And of course they will not answer "any questions" (hmm, Mark, what is your Mt. Gox password? <ignore ubikeys for now>)

I wonder how large is the intersection between the community of Magic players and Bitcoin users...

I am a Magic player, and oddly enough, about 50% of the people that I "sold" the idea of Bitcoin to a year ago are also Magic players.
(And I spammed Bitcoin in my social circles like crazy)

FWIW I used to play a lot with my brother back in the day, and I still have a sizable collection. But nowadays I only play maybe once a year.

What did you tell the guys from the CIA last year? What did they ask you? What are the names of the guys you talked to?

What's the source code of MtGox?

 

As a data-point, I've got no idea what 'Magic' is.  I think maybe something like Dungeons & Dragons (which I never understood or tried to) but with more toys?  Maybe things would be different if I were not primarily a county hick.  OTOH, I am doing well to know whether a given team plays pro football or pro baseball, so it's possible that I'm just not wired for games.
