Mt.Gox resigned from board of directors, Bitcoin Foundation

Mt.Gox gets with immediate effect from the board of directors of the Bitcoin Foundation. The administrative body behind the crypto-currency has not made known what the reason for the departure is, even though both parties recently, however, a collision in the area of security.

The Bitcoin Foundation made the departure of Mt.Gox Sunday known via a short announcement on their own site. The administrative body responsible for the development of Bitcoinsoftware go no further on the reasons for the departure, but indicates that further details will follow later. Mark Karpeles, who, as managing director of Mt.Gox itself in the board of directors of the Bitcoin Foundation was, has not yet commented on his departure. However, all through the Mt.Gox-twitter account sent tweets removed.

Although not officially clear why Mt.Gox, the board of directors of the Bitcoin Foundation leaves, seems to be the cause to be found in a disagreement around the problems that the trade in Bitcoins at Mt.Gox for a few weeks already playing tricks. The stock exchange for trading crypto-money had the possibility of Bitcoins to a different address to send blocked after a bug was found in the software. According To Mt.Gox went to an old bug in the Bitcoinsoftware itself, but the Bitcoin Foundation insisted that the error on the side of the walletsoftware of Mt.Gox itself was. The problem is currently not solved, and seems to be an obvious reason for the withdrawal of Mt.Gox from the board of directors of the Bitcoin Foundation.

Mt.Gox is still working on a solution for the problems, that the trade in Bitcoins since February 7, undermine. The exchange made last week announced that a solution had been found, but which is not yet available for users. The company is due to a security issue has been moved to his old office, so you made Mt. Gox on Thursday announced. Partly because it is still not clear when the issues should be.

With Mt.Gox-director of the Karpeles leaves for the second time within a month someone from the Board of directors of the Bitcoin Foundation. Previously had to Bitinstant-ceo Charlie Shrem to clear the field after he was arrested for money laundering of drug money. Shrem would be more than a million dollars worth of Bitcoins have been sold to users of the notorious Tor-commerce site Silk Road, while he would have known that the Bitcoins would be used for illegal transactions. Also would Shrem drugs have purchased through Silk Road.
