Gox. that site needs to die.why is that, can you please explain?Hello again Vlad,A few reasons why using MtGox (or indeed any exchange to obtain Bitcoins) is a bad idea:- You can't access MtGox via Tor without risking them asking you for ID documents. This means you can't buy Bitcoins safely as you have to resort to more unsafe methods such as using VPN's.- Even if you can access an exchange safely if you use a traceable method such as bank transfer, Dwolla etc. the original purchase of Bitcoins can be traced to you, thereby undermining their anonymity. At the risk of sounding like a plug, this is the reason I sell BTC for cash in the mail only!- MtGox have said publicly they'll cooperate with enquiries from law enforcement - they also have one at least one occasion frozen a user's Bitcoin assets because some of their coins were allegedly stolen. This was probably true in the sense that the five dollar bill in your wallet may have been stolen from a cash register at some point, it doesn't make you a thief.The golden rule which I repeat ad nauseum is that the ONLY ways to obtain Bitcoins safely are buying them with cash, selling them for goods/services e.g MoneyPaks or mining them.Hope this helps,V.
