Title: Missing money from Mt. Gox
Post by: bitcoinaddict on June 13, 2011, 03:19:16 AM
Anyone else have money missing from Mt.Gox?  I tried to withdraw approx $50 USD to my Dwolla account last week (6/5/11) and it never went through.  Funds are gone from my MtGox account, I emailed MtGox about it and they said that Dwolla changed something without telling them and that they would resubmit my transaction that day (6/8/11). 

Still nothing.... :(

I even emailed them back saying to forget it and just put the money back in the MtGox account so I could just buy some bitcoins instead and still nothing.

I would hope that with the amount of money that Mt.Gox is making they could afford some type of support?  Otherwise why pay fees and why trade if there is a chance of some of your transactions could end up missing?

If you don't hear something after 36 hours, try emailing again. They're pretty backed up, and can't hire fast enough to meet the demand.

I've heard about a new exchange opening up. Cheaper fees as well.

At some point it has to be de-throwned from the monopoly it has over this business.

that definitely is enough to put a scare into anyone I'm sure. I've had a few backed up xfers but everything is good now, just wait 48 hours =]

I know that they were having some trouble with Dwolla, but I personally haven't had any problems with mtgox from many transactions.

Yeah, I have had other transfers go through without issue its just this one I can't get resolved.

I like MtGox because of their volume but these are the kind of things that make it easier for competing exchanges to step in.  Not that competition is a bad thing anyway, but as someone who has run multiple businesses I would want to keep every customer I possibly could.

Long delays like this are annoying for the consumer/customer/user

I had no problems so far ... there are delays but it doesn't bother me yet :) I'm trying other exchanges too, it's never a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket ;)

That's a lot of cash.

Well I'm not having any issues right now with Mt. Gox actually they wire my money really quick.
