Hey,
I just withdrew BTC from Gox however it seems Gox never made the transaction. It shows in the transaction history on Gox but never made it to the Blockchain. Did that ever happen to you guys?

edit:

You're not alone...

Hopefully the delay is just due to too many requests backing up the process within Gox, and you'll get your coin soon.

MtGox's success has overloaded the blockchain and therefore Bitcoin txs can't be processed.

do you have more info about that issue ?
and why would they shutdown their chat support and wont replying tickets on this issue ?
would have been a lot simpler if they'll just explain the situation to users

Evidently the BTC withdraw's are an issue in the way they were doing things and they've fixed it, according to MagicalTux on their IRC channel, when the withdraw's are automatically re-attempted, they will go through.

However there is still a major issue with withdrawing fiat.

Evidenlyt AurumExchange just ceased operations too.

what do you mean re attempted ? I don't have the coins on my balance any more
can I send then again and they'll magically appear ?

Sorry, I meant gox will attempt again on its own.

I assume this has all cleared up by now?

No it haven't. but I don't think it will ever clear up.
but its not a big issue for me and I think in general withdrawals are now working fine.

I was trying to test how gox handles the transaction fee.
this fee should go to the miners but I noticed that if you make a transfer between to gox addresses the transfer
is done internally in gox without ever going throe the bitcoin chain. but if you'll choose to pay a fee gox will remove the fee from your balance
even thou there is no real transfer involves.
so I tried to test what will happen if I'll make an actual transfer with no fee and if it will be delayed, unfortunately I made a transfer of less than 0.01 bitcoin with no fee not knowing this is not possible in the by the actual bitcoin protocol.
so this transfer is not going to be ever proccessed.

I'm still on the chat with gox support (now that its backup) and they told me its still being processed (and that I shouldn't make any more small transfers).
since I don't think it will ever go throe, I'm now waiting to see if gox will reverse the transfer and fix my balance once their system will decide to cancel the transfer.
 
 

It should be possible by the actual bitcoin protocol, that's bs.

Tried withdrawing about BTC50 earlier and still no yet received.

Will updated when resolved.

Edit: all good

tried 0.099 BTC and nothing yet in the blockchain

however i am getting this on btc-e

Uncommitted transactions:
+0.099 BTC, 0 confirmations, 19:41 28.06.13

i tried another and paid the network fee rather then use a green addy and it's showing up in the blockchain and btc-e...  not exactly sure how btc-e is getting the unconfirmed for the 1st one i sent but blockchain.info isn't catching it

how can you see transaction info in btc-e ?
I'm only testing it in blockchain info.

HAHAHA my sides!

Click on deposit to the right of btc in the currencies page and scroll down to bottom, you will see all the pending tx... btw I did eventuallly get the green addy tx just took way longer then paying the tx fee option
