Title: How to remove Private Keys from MTGox?
Post by: DPony13 on January 27, 2013, 01:07:08 AM
I put my private key to MTGox, and
I think it's the reason I can't withdraw using it :/



Help please, thanks.

When you add your private key to Mt Gox, they will transfer immediately any funds sitting at that address to your wallet (which is just an accounting entry to them) and then will monitor that address for future incoming transactions and will sweep any new payments to that address to your exchange account.


So once you import your private key to mt gox, you lose all control ot that address in the future.
