Quote MtGox, the oldest and once-largest bitcoin exchange, appears to have a serious problem. Title: Re: 2014-02-04 Major Bitcoin Exchange Not Executing Withdrawals Now Owes Clients 38m Post by: odolvlobo on February 04, 2014, 04:16:35 PM Mt. Gox issued a statement:
Quote from: https://support.mtgox.com/entries/26128504-Update-Statement-Regarding-BTC-Withdrawal-Delays Dear MtGox Customers, As noted recently, we are currently experiencing a problem where some bitcoin withdrawals are not being transferred correctly, affecting a limited number of users. Currently the problem is being fixed, but many previous transactions did not go through over the past days. Those transactions have now been returned to customer accounts in full, so any transactions that appeared to be "stuck" should now be refunded. This problem applies primarily to larger transactions, so we appreciate your patience as we fix the issue. Smaller transactions should be fine in the meantime, and we will update you on the status as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience. Best Regards, MtGox Team Title: Re: 2014-02-04 Major Bitcoin Exchange Not Executing Withdrawals Now Owes Clients 38m Post by: seriouscoin on February 04, 2014, 04:56:17 PM Mt.

There are people in #mtgox with failed 0.25 BTC withdrawals. So the "smaller is better" is total BS.

Think I'm totally done with MTGOX now. Bring on exchange decentralisation. Title: Re: 2014-02-04 Major Bitcoin Exchange Not Executing Withdrawals Now Owes Clients 38m Post by: Peter Lambert on February 04, 2014, 09:31:36 PM What? People are still using MtGox?

Only had a tiny bit in there.

Title: Re: 2014-02-04 Major Bitcoin Exchange Not Executing Withdrawals Now Owes Clients 38m Post by: Tirapon on February 04, 2014, 11:13:48 PM How does Gox still exist? I discovered Bitcoin in 2012 and I never used Mt Gox due to the bad reviews on this forum. I am still hoping they might add LTC support though :P
Title: Re: 2014-02-04 Major Bitcoin Exchange Not Executing Withdrawals Now Owes Clients 38m Post by: yayayo on February 04, 2014, 11:21:16 PM It's impressive how fast the once dominating exchange loses market share.
I think Gox's days are definitely over. Hopefully the other operators don't repeat the same mistakes. ya.ya.yo!

On the contrary I'm surprised they still have as much market share as they do. They still have like 25% market share; how they heck did they manage to maintain that much when they haven't had working withdrawals for more than 6 months.

Simple you can't withdraw Bitcoins either now. You can withdraw dollars, you can't withdraw Bitcoins. I guess there solution is to force everyone to trade until the entire balance is converted to trading fees. Problem solved.

How does BitSimple work? its not an exchange but its not localbitoins? so how do we trade on it? Does it work with any banks in NA?

Can anyone shed any light on this: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/www.mtgox.com (http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/www.mtgox.com) Title: Re: 2014-02-04 Major Bitcoin Exchange Not Executing Withdrawals Now Owes Clients 38m Post by: bryant.coleman on February 05, 2014, 09:56:41 AM Can Mt Gox users withdrew their money in the form of BTC? I think only the fiat withdrawals are on hold.

Gox not have money. Title: Re: 2014-02-04 Major Bitcoin Exchange Not Executing Withdrawals Now Owes Clients 38m Post by: blacksails on February 05, 2014, 01:21:16 PM Good thing I abandoned MtGox already last year then.
I however feel bad for the ones that are going down with the sinking ship :( |
