#32I remember trying to buy some BTC on MtGox for fun, the last time the price crashed. What an unspeakably horrible service. I thought I was in for hundreds of dollars over budget, but it turns out that not a single BTC was purchased at all. I only intended to buy ~$50 worth, so I would only have earnt something like $200, but for the love of everything, stay the hell away from MtGox. It's insane how unprofessional the…
I find that many companies related to Bitcoin are extremely unprofessional and they still run their businesses like 3 years ago when Bitcoin was just an internet novelty and not a real currency the way it is today.

What do you even mean? That's what pools are for. You can make bitcoins even with a shitty CPU (but will probably spend more on electricity).

#37Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it impossible to withdraw USD from MtGox at this point? How can this be a viable source of BTC->USD comparison when the only thing you can do with a USD balance on MtG is buy?

#38I'm really glad I wasn't able to figure out how to short bitcoin right after the Silk Road takedown; I would have gone broke.

It's not impossible, but it is difficult. However - it's much easier to withdraw in Japanese and Chinese currencies. BTCChina is pretty close to GoxUSD.
