Title: About trading on Mt.Gox
Post by: jomplox on November 13, 2013, 01:30:52 PM
Hello!
I've been out of the loop for a while. Seems like people really dislike Mt.Gox and prefer alternatives like Bitfinex.
Can anyone briefly explain what is the matter? It seems they are now stricter on fiat withdraws, but I'm not sure this is the main issue. I have no interest in withdrawing fiat. I'm perfectly happy with being limited to bitcoins.

Thank you!

Bitcoin extraction thru the block chain took ages for many Gox users recently

Look for the thread and ask there

Generally Gox is bad news

Verification issues, long waiting times and other bugs happen all the time on Mtgox.. That's why.

4-8 Weeks is just plain wrong.
It takes much longer.

I've initiated a 1000 Euro withdrawal in the first september week.
They answer your emails very slow and can't give you ETA!

For cashing out, GOX is a Nogo!

Not " plain wrong ". It's just different for everyone all the time.

And it's a SEPA transfer, which should be much faster.

So in theory, I can trade bitcoins back and forth without having to verify my account but if I want to withdraw BTC its going to take a while and fiat transfers are a no-go?

Pretty much seems to be a problema with withdrawing your money.  Takes ages.  I am confused, with such bad customer service, how can they still be number 1?  Youd think also with this kind of bad news, everyone would be rushing to withdraw, makin things even worse...  Ideally, I think this fórum is a great place to buy bitcoins, with trusted users.  I probably will never use anything else.  But I guess others like to be able to buy-sell fast.
