Title: MtGox: sending btc question Post by: anewbie on June 08, 2011, 03:22:20 AM I must be incredibly dense.
I am trying to put some btc into my MtGox account. Up until now, I have not used MtGox. I'm still waiting for a dwolla transfer initiated Friday night to clear. I am logged in. I go to the fund accounts page, type in a btc value and click the Send Bitcoins button. I was expecting to get a btc address to send to. But it just returned me to the fund accounts page. As far as I can tell, there is nothing different. At first I thought, perhaps it somehow manipulates your btc client to send the bitcoins, which was a disturbing thought. But that is not the case--at least my btc client shows no changes. I'm certain the correct answer is e-mail MtGox, which I can do, but thought I'd post on the hope that someone can point out my stupidity in missing something obvious. If it matters, I'm using 32 bit IE 8 on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine. Title: Re: MtGox: sending btc question Post by: Maged on June 08, 2011, 03:29:03 AM Try using a different browser. It's supposed to pop-up with a Bitcoin address.

I first tried turning off the pop-up blocker in IE and could see a popup flash. Then, I tried it in Firefox and it worked. Thanks!

A little word of advice - if you want to keep those bitcoins you bought safe, I strongly suggest forgetting about using IE Title: Re: MtGox: sending btc question Post by: anewbie on June 08, 2011, 04:11:20 AM A little word of advice - if you want to keep those bitcoins you bought safe, I strongly suggest forgetting about using IE I hear you. I normally use FireFox with NoScript and AdBlock for most browsing. However, I have been using SandboxIE with a specific sandbox for financial institutions. Mainly for historical reasons from years ago when FireFox wouldn't work. I have a separate sacrificial sandbox that gets cleared regularly and never use IE unsandboxed. This is the first time I've run into problems. I will be re-evaluating my approach, though. The disturbing thing is that once I logged in with FireFox, my dwolla transfer I had been waiting on was there. I've changed my passwords on many locations and am looking to make some other changes. It could be a fluke of timing, but it really bothers me. |
