We are Mt. Gox: AMA : Bitcoin

Hi, we are Mt. Gox. Ask us anything.

Dear Bitcoiners, Mt Gox customers, and Redditors. The past few days and weeks have been a rollercoaster ride to say the least, and while we are still under constant DDos attack (more so than usual) we wanted to take the time to do an AMA on Reddit and communicate directly with everyone. Mark Karpeles, President and CEO of Mt.Gox will reply to any questions you may have regarding the recent events.

Of course this ranges from the recent DDoS attacks, the overwhelming amount of new accounts created in the past few months (and days for that matter), and of course everything you ever wanted to know about Mt.Gox.

Some technical details we cannot divulge since they will assist those trying to undermine the exchange, but we will do our best to answer your questions over the next couple of hours.

UPDATE: Thanks so much to everyone for your questions, criticisms, and comments. We hope we were able to clarify enough, at least for now. This was an interesting few hours! If you think this was helpful, and you want us to do more in the future, we are open to it. The beauty of bitcoin is openness and transparency and we aspire to that as much as possible. Speaking of which, we haven't forgotten about publishing our transparency report either, but that was postponed for obvious reasons. Please give us a couple of weeks.

Thanks again. Back to work for us.
