Title: Sloooooow Mt Gox deposit
Post by: Alex Beckenham on April 05, 2011, 11:50:53 AM
Just wondering if anyone else is having an issue with Mt Gox at the moment.

It's slower than expected for me also. I just deposited $10 from LR to MtGox 10 minutes ago, and it's not showing yet. Maybe it has something to do with the recent major downtime LR had.

As I understand it, MtGox's system only checks deposits once, and if LR's system doesn't respond to that, the transfer remains in limbo until MtGox is alerted to the missing credit. You should email the transaction details from your LR account, for manual review, if it's not automatically processed quickly.

10 minutes! That's what I call impatient... you should do some SEPA transfers. Up to 72 hours may pass before mtgox even sees the payment!

I have MagicalTux on IRC right now. He is working on the EUR deposit system, where a few deposits have been delayed, mine included. He says he intends to finish before going to sleep, which should mean within hours. I don't see why LibertyReserve transfers should be affected though, maybe Keefe has told the correct explanation.

Well, I did email him, so I'll wait a bit longer. Thanks.

LR is usually an immediate way to get USD into MtGox (if you have USD in LR already of course), so my report of nothing in 10 minutes was simply to point out that it's not always working automatically, because of LR server problems. I wasn't meaning to seem impatient. In fact, I only did that deposit as a test to confirm for doood, so I don't care if it takes days. But hopefully LR will get back fully on their feet so LR can once again be an immediate deposit method to MtGox.

Thanks for testing Keefe... did you get your $10 yet?

Over 24 hours now and no update...

Hi,

Regarding LR we had problems because LR API was partially down, and I'm busy checking manually each order to see if they were indeed forgotten, and try to find whose money are those. The timing was bad however since I was setting up euro transfer payments at the same time, which caused delays to people requesting withdraws at the same time.

All that to say that things should be back to normal shortly, we'll get those LR payments sorted too.

Thanks Mark, good to hear.

Shame I missed out on the cheap coins lately, but not your fault.
