Hey, donate2me, why all of your posts (6 up till now) are all saying bitcoin is ponzi?
Seems like it is the only thing you want to do with this account...

I don't really understand why mtgox price go down significantly...

People knew their USD withdrawal would get stuck, but they still want to sell all their bitcoin on mtgox?

People doing the 'analysis' should remember the environment and public attention to crypto is vastly different than previous cycles. Whether this means a greater drop (regulations and possible 'illegalization') or higher 'stable price' for bitcoin is up in the air - but I am optimistic about the prices and believe it will remain stable above at least 500 long term until the next big push.

Although crashing to 100 would give a great chance to gobble up some cheap coins

But, why is there demand in the past months, when price was always $100+ higher in mtgox?

Good news! Mt Gox just processed $2,069,500 of the $38M they hadn't processed earlier: 41,390 (BADTX) x 50 (decrease in exchange rate since last cal. for the $38M fig.) = $2,069,500.

Unfortunately the reality is that they aren't your coins, because you don't control the wallet they are stored in.
You gave Bitcoins to MtGox, they gave you an IOU in return.
You were trusting them to honor that IOU, and therefore valued it the same as the Bitcoins you transferred to them.
That may have been a mistake.

I think exchanges should post collateral make their balances partly public through HD of other means. It's probably not that hard to do. Every exchange with closed books would then suffer from less confidence. This would be much more efficient than any local regulation.

I have no idea about their intentions. But it is very easy to see that technically they are not up to the ask. Just a couple of examples:

* use of SQL. the use of standard databases does not make much sense. SQL lets you do row selections on large tables. an exchange is not just a random large table. if even you hand optimize SQL you don't really know what you're doing.

* use of HTTP. GET/POST'ing orders is pretty inefficient. why would use want to use HTTP? there is this thing called the internet where we have TCP/IP. HTTP does not allow for the complex interaction between nodes that is needed (heartbeating as a basic example).

* the API. terrible design.

noted, the same applies for all major exchanges at the moment, but the others seem to have at least a rough idea what they are doing in terms of software engineering. it looks like MtGox doesn't even have proper test procedures. not even speaking about complex race conditions and latency issues. I haven't studied it, but I'm sure most exchanges can be attacked/gamed, not speaking of outright hacks. I would assume exchanges are a high value targets for blackhats. Wasn't there also the claim that MtGox withholds 30-50M$ from some past issue?

Lol yup it is an interesting situation. Can't get fiat out nor bitcoin. Luckily for me I have $0.01 on there. 

I am almost sure Gox is fractional reserve in BTC and FIAT.

I feel something has to give here, and once this is sorted out, it will be the next impetus to an evaluation even like what happened after SR1 went down.

So cheap coins then explosion in price.

You just can't have problems sending BTC, thats the whole point of the protocol.

Unless you don't have BTC to send.

Yes - Ethereum.
