That crappy English in the vid! I had this guy writing my support ticket I'm sure he works there for real.

yes, money arrived in my bank today 8/31 -> 10/2... I liked it better when it was within a week!

See previous discussions about checks in this thread.

All my manual trading is for arbitrage.  If you manage to lose money on arbitrage trading, you are doing it horribly wrong!  I have a bot on MtGox as well.  It has been making very good profit riding the waves today. :-)

I have a long position as well, but I am not doing any minute to minute profit calculations on that one.  When I got into Bitcoin in August 2010, I mined and saved some of my mined blocks in what I call my pension fund.  Probably spent a kWh or two on each block on a computer which used to search for Mersenne primes, which means I actually saved money because mining consumes less energy (no FP ops).  I expect to sell those with profit in 30 years or so, and if Bitcoin falls to 0 I have lost nothing but the microscopic chance of finding a Mersenne prime on my computer. :-)

And the spread between MtGox and Bitstamp was momentarily less than 1% a few hours ago: [20:49:28] <gribble> mtgox premium over bitstamp is currently 0.895161290323 %.

Prices are very volatile right now because Silk Road was taken down by the feds.

Right. Continual foot-dragging on withdrawals is usually associated with a business in trouble, or the end stages of a Ponzi scheme.

It's important to get complaints against Mt. Gox filed in Japan, so that should Karpeles try to leave the country, alarms will go off. 

Why can't MtGox just work together with multiple banks in Europe to speed up the withdrawal process?

Work together with one major bank in each of the top 20 countries they do business with, problem solved.

Do not trust anyone using COMIC SANS ..

Someone above posted 8/31 -> 10/2 transfer, mine from 2013/08/25 17:19:13 still hasn't posted.

Sturle, you should change your board name to Shill.
