Yes, money withdrawals are a big problem it seems. Most of the exchanges for some reason care more about holding your money and don't care about customer service and their reputation. Fools keep using the services though (such as Gox) so what do they care? Seems silly of the customers but it should catch up with Gox eventually.

People (well me), get seduced by the high $ rate at gox, so try to withdraw at gox. Big mistake. Never to happen again. I've used gox for the last time.

make me doubt using mt.gox Sad

Avoid by all means....my account still pending verification after 20days when the documents was submitted. Now my BTC is stuck and I can't even transfer my BTC out. Cry

Crikey. Can't get bitcoins out, can't get money out ... what on earth do Gox think they are doing. Use bitstamp instead.

BTC-E took me 4business days to withdraw just after they announced they had "delays".

4 days is fine. 6 months or "never" at gox is a whole different ballgame.

I'm always getting fiat to my skrill/moneybookers account to which I have a mastercard attached and I use VirWox for this. I takes roughly 5 minutes to get the fiat on the account. It is true that I pay some extra fees for this, but it is worth it. See the youtube video on how this is done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQWJIxsZukw

I've used them once, in July, and a day after I withdrew the money it showed up in my (European) bank account. So my experience was "lightning quick" perhaps it has slowed down a bit since then, can't say.

Thanks. Might have slowed down a bit, but I'm sure its fine, relative to Gox Wink

Good to hear!

I think the difference between Gox and Stamp is about 5% right now, but who wants to deal with Gox (and who knows how long it'll take even with the 5%) so I think getting your BTC and running away is the best solution

Yes I would rather deal with Bitstamp to be honest. They have always been very efficient with me, though I've not done a fiat withdrawal yet.

can you confirm bitstamp process fiat withdrawals in a "reasonable" way? like a real company should Wink

I guess people don't read forums until after they have withdrawal problems with Gox. Seriously, this has been going on since before summer and now it's Christmas. When I had Gox withdrawal issues in July-August they were still answering support emails pretty quickly (just that the answers were pointless) and when I asked to cancel the withdrawal they complied within minutes.

That's your best bet at this point, ask for a cancellation short and firm in 1 sentence if you can. If no reply comes just keep on sending the request until someone gets tired of you. Then take a loss by buying BTC and moving it to another exchange. Seriously, it's easier to get fiat out of any other exchange than Gox. At this point in time you're actually lucky that exchanges like Stamp are pretty close to Gox price all things considered. When I moved in July I wasn't so lucky (not to mention I managed to sell 30 BTC at the lowest point of the dip in July)

Many many thanks for tip about cancellation. For some reason, they replied to that support request in a day, when they hadn't replied to the original request in 10 days.

Guess they know how to respond to cancellation requests. They don't like people moaning about withdrawal times.

They did also mention the 5% "premium withdrawal fee" option. I politely declined

Looks like I'll be getting my money back after all, not have it stuck in a black hole for six months, phew!!

MtGox may not recover from this mess. 6 months plus for USD withdrawals, disappearing coins seem to be a given without 2 factor auth, wire deposits are being refused/lost,etc. I tried trading with them, cannot physically do it anymore. Their own bank refused to send my wire to them because they are apparently feeling the heat of mtgoxs fire.

Yeah, but you're SOL at this point to try anything else.

I wonder if the gigantic queues at Gox are a result not just of massively increased interest (which also occurred earlier this year) but also that they've reduced their staffing. That would be something an insolvent company would do to try and stay afloat. That Gox has liquidity issues is all but certain at this point. Too bad they probably employ mostly Japanese so you probably won't get any interesting ex-employee stories.

I wildly estimate the odds of Gox going down in 2014 at 50%. You can't survive indefinitely if you can't pay out but a fraction of the BTC on your exchange. Their latest black friday 0% fee days and now 25% off for Christmas smell like desperation (as sites where you CAN get your money out are doing no such thing and are still taking marketshare out of Gox)

Thanks for making me feel better ... haha, only joking. Appreciate the info. Live and learn I guess. If I lose $3K I lose $3K. Thank god I didn't go for more than that.

Love the way they say on twitter if you want help, go to their support desk. So their twitter account is bogus as well. Sigh Sad
