Also i would like to ask HN users whose bitcoins are stuck/lost in mtgox wallets, what are you planning to do regarding the situation on mtgox?

    I lost 2.5 btc. If someone with better understanding of the situation on mtgox could answer the other question, it will be very welcome.

    I, unfortunately, lost 58.2 BTC.

    Ah not much, around 1.7 bitcoins. Bought them pretty cheap (<$300) in the recent weeks because I wanted to take the bet. Turned out I lost the bet. But that's not a big deal, I made around 1 bitcoin profit through btc.sx.

    I used to mine bitcoins and have them sent to MtGox (in tiny fractions of course) but stopped doing it long before as this process became too inefficient.

    0. Mt. Gox was a publicly visible target. My laptop is much less visible. (Not that it matters, I sold off all my coins last August.)

    BTC that are in some service aren't in your own wallet and so aren't secure.

    0. Mine are all in cold storage, where any sizable amount of Bitcoin should be.

    0, Because I bought my BTC on Bitstamp and then put them in a private wallet.
