Title: MTGOX RIPPED ME
Post by: psyclon on December 05, 2013, 10:23:49 AM
Ok, so as I still havent received a reply, here is the problem with the trading engine I'm sure many have noticed:

when you execute a trade the ticker displays an amount, the trading console another, and to make it really funny, you may get a completely different, third rate if you trade at market rates. This is most apparent in currencies where the volume is low, like CNY.

I'm sure others have noticed this, yet don't understand why it isnt considered a problem.

And here comes the real bad part: when you trade at market value, and let's say want to buy a certain amount of BTC, you enter the amount, and confirm it in the popup together with what you will be charged. And guess what, you will get less BTC than displayed, at least I certainly did. They deducted the money agreed, but gave me less coins. I did two trades, once selling what I had, and then buying it back. Both times I got shortchanged, first for some CNY, second time for BTC.

I don't know if there is an explanation for this or not... but either way: I would never use Mt.Gox... never. I wouldn't touch them with a stick. You only need to read the comments to their latest post on Facebook to realize how many people are very unhappy with them.

MtGox is a piece of crap whichever way you look at it

Indisputable fact

AFAIK, they have returned all BTC to customers, or not?

I'm disputing a transaction. I made my deposit the day they shut down. they knew of this ahead, yet let me deposit only to block my account later that day. also, they gave me the wrong rate, but as I see that's not that unusual.
