We've just added Mt. Gox to our list of Banned Bitcoin Services

Due to the incredible blunder made by Mt. Gox yesterday, we have decided to add Mt. Gox to our list of Banned Bitcoin Services. This means that we warn our readers from using Mt. Gox. They have to come up with a significant apology to the entire Bitcoin community until we will even think about removing them from the list. Some good alternatives for trading Bitcoins are Bitstamp.net and Coinbase. We are not the only ones feeling irritated. Unanticipated bugs don't come with year-old wiki pages fully documenting them. Gox is full of shit: https://t.co/9htPeb6ytM. - AndreasMAntonopoulos....
