this thread wasn't about how great or bad Mt. Gox is. Its a thread about me predicting the price of the bitcoin would rise. It's now about 3 bucks.. Yes, they were hacked in June. But they have taken many precautions. I purchased the Yubikey, I could post my username and password here and no one could get in. I think the reason they want so much info about someone is because of scams/hacking. If you provide your info it would be hard to get away hacking. I think, right now, the only way you need to provide your personal info is if you want to withdraw more than 1k a day and 10k a month. other than that, its anonymous. Thats why I think the bitcoin is rising, becuase whatever announcement they are making will effect a lot of bitcoin users. Again, Im not pro any bitcoin company, It was a gut feeling that I made a week or so ago, I dont know how this turned into a "How great Mt. gox is thread" Mt. Gox is the biggest bitcoin trader in the world i believe... I know a lot of people that hate them and others that love them. Im in the middle of the road. I haven't had any issues with them, nor do I use them exclusively...
