Topic: mtgox withdrawals? (Read 851 times)

I'm not affiliated with MtGox, but will try to give you some peace of heart.

1. After the hard fork, that was quickly fixed, Mark decided that whenever there was a message broadcast over the bitcoin clients, all deposits and withdrawals of bitcoins would be halted at MtGox until it was cleared manually. That's why there was a delay in transactions in regards to MtGox yesterday, because an innocent non-dangerous message was sent to all the clients essentially asking all to upgrade before May 15th. This is not something that affects current transactions on the bitcoin network itself at this point, but it was enough to make the block at MtGox go active, and it happened early in the morning Japan time, so Mark was probably not present to sort it manually.

2. For fiat withdrawals it takes a lot of time sometimes a month. MtGox has explained there's numerous reasons for this. One is the banking system, which sometimes delays transfers, another reason is banking withdrawal restrictions, so your withdrawal gets qued. Sometimes there's also wrong info, so transfers come in return. If you want quick money in exchange for yout MtGox cash - then find a trader that's willing to trade with you. For the time being, there are people who will trade bank transfers vs. MtGox USD redeemable codes.

mine came through last night fine.  should have updated.

i don't think it had anything to do with the fork

I suspect the fork had something to do with this. I'm not messing with them until its fixed just to be sure

I did a 100btc withdrawal from gox; paid the fee.. got a confirmation, it shows up in the logs.. but.. the transaction has not come through.  it does not show up anywhere on blockchain.info

When I have done withdrawals in the past it has been instant.

Anyone know what's up?
