Topic: The fucking mtgox block MY money (Read 2704 times)
go and use BITSTAMP
Hello,
U know why i started with btc?
Cause i saw a video who explain my account cannot be frozen, and cause i hate banks.
But mtgox dont work with the spirit of btc.
Today i wanted to withdraw some btc from mtgox, and they say me my account is pending rewiew.
They ask me my ID and all.
I dont want to give them anything and i want my btc back.
WTF, i dont change email, nothing special, why they do that?
I need some money now in emergency and they block me.
I have a LOT of money on this account. What can i do?

Seriously, if you deal with centralized exchange, you must provide your identity proof. This centralized exchange must comply with antilaudering laws. It is not fault of Bitcoin you have now prove your identity proof or kiss your BTC at centralized exchange good bye.
That really blows but when you want coins turned into fiat, well this is what happens. USA is more worried about people not paying taxes, but they will tell a different story like "It could be used to fund terrorists etc".......please! Just like the drug dogs they illegally run around cars 40miles north of the border "looking for illegal immigrants".......because Dogs can distinguish by scent who has a legit green card or US ID. It s a joke in this country anymore, Mt Gox is all jacked up because of USA and its in Japan IIRC.......seriously wtf?
I personally verified with MtGox but I was spooked with their behavior and have no intention of ever using them.
I went through a huge runaround sending them scans of valid document after valid document for proof of residence constantly getting rejected for absurd reasons.
Finally after scanning an insurance bill, only to receive the response that it was rejected because "letters are not a valid proof of residence", I wrote a polite yet somewhat forceful reply saying more or less, "This is not a 'letter', this is an insurance bill. Can you please provide me with a real exhaustive list of what you accept so we can stop wasting time going back and forth?".
Sure enough, suddenly I receive an email saying that I've been verified.
If the customer service surrounding getting verified is on this level of unprofessionalism, I can't possibly imagine trusting them ever with any non-trivial amount of money.

Only if you use Bitcoin-QT to host your own wallet.
If you store Bitcoins with a 3rd party you have left the decentralized world of Bitcoin and you are at mercy of the 3rd party (like a bank).
BTC-E is way more fun. No problems sending or receiving funds (so far).
The troll-box alone is worth it for entertainment value. lol

The troll-box is awesome
The troll box is a wonderfully sinful pleasure.
The constant panic and hysteria is possibly one of the strangest and unusual things mankind has ever achieved.
That place is pure gold! One guy actually started arguing with me that ASIC's can not mine other sha-256 coins and I was delirious. Bless his heart, if he was joking or not, I had a good laugh.

MtGox held my usd withdrawal months ago. I waited for two months then finally cancelled the withdrawal, bought bitcoin and transferred the bitcoin to btc-e. Pain in the rear. Now I keep usd out of mtgox. period.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you get money out of BTC-E.
I would love to do so but all of their withdrawal methods seem shady or have big fees.
and ps fuck dwolla for shutting down their bitcoin operations.
fuck mt gox in the fucking face until it bleeds to death. I hate the shit out of mtgox.
The bitcoin world needs better alternatives to that shithole

mtgox is on the way out. they are only still used so much because before they were the biggest/only major exchange. now its so much hassle for everyone. not all their fault i dont think, the us gov. has cracked down on them. localbitcoins is the way to go now i think. just need to be careful for being scammed but its easy enough to avoid.
mtgox is a big problem for the btc economy. i am glad it seems to be slowly being phased out in terms of market share. good news for the btc world!
This is a bad situation. I hate giving my documents to the exchanges. That's why I like BTCE!
I had to verify to withdra 0.02. took a week
what is the problem about sending id to gox?
Coins might have been used for drugs or something similar
