It happens when their hotwallet has run out of coins and needs to be refilled from cold storage. Try again in a few hours and it should be fine.

If that is true, it would be awfully nice if their UI explained the actual problem!

Happened to me too just right now. Tried 4 or 5 addresses, no one works.

Same here. I've already opened a ticket with them. Could you guys please do the same? There's a bigger chance they will have a look at it if more people complain. Thanks!

yes, this has happened on and off a few times with the same address.  I've seen this same issue reported by others as well, in the 'MtGox withdrawal delays [Gathering]' thread.  Seems to clear up after a few hours, a day or half a day.    I contact support, and when they try and see it is working they respond back and say 'try it now'.

I'm happy I can move my bitcoin out usually within a day or two, not too bad.

It seems that mtgox service is not so great, until you read about some other exchanges which perhaps were/are even worse.  Localbitcoins seems to be the way to go.

if that happens i usually pick open tx and network fee, sprinkle some fairy dust on my keyboard and it seems to magically go through

Check for whitespace at the start/end of the address.

Paste the address into notepad and manual select/copy it again.

Appeared the other day, I opened a problem ticket, the issue went away, but now it is back and consistently broken, with dest addresses from localbitcoins wallet as well as bitaddress.org.

Anyone else getting this problem?
