until its over 30 Bucks!
Welcome to the 25 percentile.. I own a PS3 so im a member of the 50 percentile group...
I find it hard to believe that only 25% of people are able to login to mtgox, so I will assume you mean 25% of people who are giving mtgox a break ^^
Despite numerous support emails, requests for account/reactivation, I *still* cannot login to my MtGox account. Ive provided account balance info, IP address info, etc, and they just ignore my support requests. Thieves, I surmise. I would advise anyone new to the bitcoin world to avoid MtGox like the plague. If, by some minor miracle I am able to access my account again I will withdraw everything I have from MtGox and never use them again.
The sheer amount of incompetence they have displayed over their "incident" is mind-boggling. Lack of basic security, the worst customer-service I have ever experienced, and a remarkable ability to act like its not their fault.

weird stuff...
I didn't have an astronomical amount of usd or btc at the time of the hack... but after the 4-5 day period of delays and what not I was able to log back in and my account was intact w\ the proper btc and usd amounts it had prior to the hack.
I had the same experience, but when I tried to log in again, my account balances had miraculously dropped to zero. And when that happens, one gets a bit nervous, and has every right to.I didn't have an astronomical amount of usd or btc at the time of the hack... but after the 4-5 day period of delays and what not I was able to log back in and my account was intact w\ the proper btc and usd amounts it had prior to the hack.

People need to cut mtgox some slack.
I did that and still do. Doesn't mean I'm not very discontented.
It's called cognitive dissonance.
Given they're defending a company making at least at one point thousands per day off their product refusing to hire enough people to actually handle the product, I'd question the 'cognitive' part of that.
Hey don't argue with me, I don't make the terms up.
Look it up.

The OP has every right to be as frustrated as he is. What's shocking is the amount of folks who come to defend Mt. Gox as if they were getting paid to do so.
It's called cognitive dissonance.
I have sympathy for the OP. I withdrew my funds from Gox a week (seven) days ago in three bites (over the space a a couple of hours) because it was part of a trade, not some kind of deliberate exit. I have just received the last installment (the other two were yesterday and back on Friday). It might have only been USD1000, but more than I would like to lose.
Looks to me like they do not have the cash for withdrawals even though the money left my Gox account in less than a minute. To have it sitting in limbo for a week isn't good enough so I'll be away from their exchange until they can sort themselves out or implode.
Nothing like a good run on bank funds.

Posting endless threads about it won't get your money back.
And posting endless threads about your strategies wont stop us from making this public. But thanks anyways mom.
Risk is one thing in an emerging market. Theft is another animal altogether.
One can assume several things about this situation but there are 2 that stick out right now regarding MTGox closing account valid tickets proving they owe you money.
1. They don't have enough money/BTC to make good on what is owed. (Which is scary in it's own right.)
2. They have no intention of paying back what they owe to those stuck in limbo. (Theft.)
Yes, there are inherent risks involved. (Losing value, out-right crash) One of those isn't a supposedly reputable company that everyone seems to be sticking up for and telling people to invest in for stealing your money. And then telling those that have their money stuck in 10 closed support tickets that they aren't updating or helping dozens of people to, "fuck off", and yes it's basically what you are saying.
Sorry, I don't know very many people that will allow someone to fuck with their money.
Those that do are either complicit with MTGox or completely fucking stupidly blind.
The risk *is* the potential for everything you listed above. Want to know what balances I have in any of the active exchanges? Zero. I do a transfer, make my trade, and transfer out. My personal risk is something happening in the interim, and I fully acknowledge it.
I treat every service this way, because it is the only way to sanely operate when you have an emerging market situation, like we do here. Whether the 'root cause' is technical problems, outright stealing or an elaborate con, the end result is the same. You took a risk, and lost.
I don't intend to lose any more than I'm willing to risk, hence my strategy. That is what I meant by life not being fair.

weird stuff...

People need to cut mtgox some slack. OBVIOUSLY... they're seriously understaffed. The influx since april-may into the btc community has been huge and they weren't ready for that.
They probably have thousands of unread emails in their inbox and probably have to waste lots of time helping people with user-error type problems.
I will continue to use mtgox even if I am pissed that my email address is out on the web for the world to see and try to brute force any other accounts I have w\ that email address. Luckily I use different passwords everywhere and my mtgox one was secure enough to not be cracked right away.
Anyhow, I'll just end my rant right there.
Have patience. XOXO

fuck off
Now you're just being stupid: they disbanded over a week ago. Good luck having them do anything to MtGox.fuck off
clearly this is over your head
And I have every right to be sick of their whining. Life is unfair, boo-hoo.
Man up and take your loss, never use them again, fashion a dartboard target and use it regularly. Perhaps move on with your life.

I love this response. Hi, welcome to Bitcoin. Thanks for your money. NOW FUCK OFF!
Gee, I wonder why the general public is turned off by this.
I'd say that the meager handful of people who understand this system and actively participate in it so far are a long way from "the general public". As many others have said, the client isn't totally up to par for joe sixpack to get in on the benefits. It will eventually, but not just yet.
And yes, if you are unable to understand counterparty risk inherent in emerging markets, you're better off playing in another sandbox until this thing comes out of early beta.
