Title: WTT Bitcoins for MTGox Bitcoin Coupon
Post by: Valalvax on July 30, 2012, 06:52:41 PM
I have 18.9536 Bitcoins on a MtGox coupon thingie, I've been trying unsuccessfully for about a week to get verified, that's taking too long, so I'm going to transfer to another exchange (at a loss), however, after buying back my Bitcoins, when trying to withdraw I get "invalid Bitcoin address" have reloaded the page, made sure there are no blank spaces, used multiple addresses, copied multiple times... /give up

Anyway, 18.9536 of your not MtGox Bitcoins for my MtGox Bitcoins

How about trying to enter it manually by retyping it (and not through copy and paste)?  There are some sites (e.g., Facebook) which will insert an unprintable character (#8203;) to cause a word break but that character doesn't show any visible indication that it is in there.  It has tripped up the bitcoin-qt client too, so a now it explicitly gets stripped out.

Is this possibly the problem?

Also, that error message used to happen with them when their backend had problems, but that was quite some time ago.  Perhaps they had a temporary issue?  You might want to try again.

Additionally, you can also withdraw bitcoins as a redeemable code too.  [Edit: Oh, I see, ... that's what you already are offering to trade.]

Yea, couldn't remember what they were called, why I didn't just flip back to the tab with the code on it.. I no logic good :(

Well... it did the check to see if I had enough Bitcoins (which it wasn't doing when I entered an actual invalid address) but then when I canceled the redeemable code and tried it it failed again, so I reloaded the page, typed it in again, same thing...


TLDR: Code still up, 1:1 transfer
