Title: Gox and verified accounts
Post by: rikkejohn on February 19, 2014, 12:24:01 PM
This has just been pulled off, I notice.

Previous, when I was one of the people constantly with a broken withdrawal, I could send or receive bitcoins. Now they have added the clause that to do either requires accounts are verified. What is more, when going through the proces do not contact Gox for 10 working days because due to the popularity of BTC, there is backlog (a huge one now I should imagine).

So effectively, unverified accounts are screwed. We cannot sell our BTC at a discount and transfer to other Gox accounts (requires verification). If Gox resumes paced withdrawals, you can bet our accounts are still not verified. If Gox is insolvent, which i have a feeling will prove to be the case, you can bet that no way will we get verified before the hammer falls.

It's only 1.68 BTC that I have left there, but currently that is $1k, and would have been more like $1.5k had Gox not started this.

Very angry!

I'm even angrier. Bunch of fraudsters in Tokyo. They should all be prosecuted.
Sent you a PM.

So stuck on Gox for at least 1 month. Bastards.
