Title: How slow is mtgox?
Post by: niooron on April 14, 2011, 11:28:39 PM
I sent 30 bitcoins to my account about 1 hour ago, its already at 11 confirmations and it still doesn't show up in my account.

How many hours does mtgox take to update an account?

Well, after 2 hours the funds finally arrived. I thought electronic currency would be a little faster. Time is money after all.

Normally it is faster, but I guess mtgox is under some heavy stress lately, lots of activity.

Lots of activity, a sign of a healthy exchange.

mtgox isn't overloaded.

These delays are likely related to mtgox requiring 6 confirmations.  That is an hour on average, and many times every day, we see 6 confirmations take far longer than 60 minutes.

mtgox requires 6 confirmations for a Bitcoin deposit to post to your account.  However, there were some volume-related issues causing them not to post until 10-12 confirmations (I had two deposits post this late).  My most recent deposits have posted at 6 confirmations, so it looks like Mt Gox has resolved the issues.

How about 16 hours and counting?

I have done some research, andcame across this string regarding 'challenges'

Does anyone else have alternatives?  Time is money.  if they can't talk to you about a problem, it compounds it
