I think there are more then a few bitcoin business that would benefit from some professional input in effectively communicating with their clientele.
+1 - and the strange thing is, it just isn't that hard to do. |

You have seen the warnings, haven't you? Have you read the past two pages of this thread?
I've been following all this very closely, yes, and I'm well aware of the risks. Have very little pity if you lose all your money.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind when it comes time to ask for pity  |

Problems with Intersango today. Trading has been halted and some bitcoind issues also. I would like to know what is going on.
Me too, my trading bot is going nuts. Of course I can place orders, but none of them get executed. And bitcoin transfers are down. |

No such thing as the NWO, son.
What is the NWO? is that something like the illuminati or the lizard people? |

There's no real evidence that they did anything. Lots of speculation and circumstantial stuff, a lot of which is hearsay.
Besides, now that the lawyers are involved, there's likely to be court proceedings, so maybe best to wait and see if they say they are guilty before the forum declares them guilty. They'll have access to all the facts at least.
+1 They still owe me 225 BTC, but this is my thought exactly - certainly something looks a bit fishy here, but I'm not rushing to judgement. |

thanks to everyone who posted they got 50 percent of coins back but has anyone else got any us dollars back, pounds or any currency other than btc??
thx
Yes, I did, got back half of my BTC and half of my USD (both were as gox codes) |

My account has had "Verfied Status (Level 1)" for over 6 months. I'm still waiting for USD to arrive in my Dwolla account which was requested from Mt Gox on June 29th.
I don't think verification status has anything to do with it. The way I understand it, Gox is in some kind of bureaucratic limbo with Dwolla right now. Because of this they are trying to avoid keeping any significant funds at Dwolla in case they just arbitrarily decide to shut down Gox's account and lock up whatever money they have there. So, Gox is keeping just enough money there to cover their immediate need for withdrawals. Since it takes time to transfer money to Dwolla, this means that everybody's withdrawals are delayed by approximately that amount of time (which appears to be something like 12 days from my experience over the last couple months). |

Deposits are still an issue... Not a new account and only had 2/3 of my deposit credited yesterday and none of my second deposit from last evening. No responses to my tickets either. So be aware if you are hoping for immediate availability from a DWOLLA deposit. Conversely, last week after depositing via Chase to bitfloor I was trading in 20 minutes.  Interesting, I've been depositing there almost daily and have had zero problems - they all seem to be credited within a few hours (a day tops) |

Yes. I have several withdrawals queued up, all for relatively small amounts (less than $1000) and they have all been delayed by around 12-14 days or so before going through. And I'm not a new account, been verified forever, and done around a hundred or so dwolla transfers with Gox over the past year or so. So if there is anyone NOT having issues, I'd like to hear their secret |

Look at Intersango!
The graph is a massive understatement, because it looks at Gox. Intersango is becoming a more serious EUR exchange in terms of volume, and its significant growth is completely left out by the graphic above.
This is good for various reasons. One, finally a chance for a shift away from the monopoly. Two, Intersango seems to be good at security. And three, someone takes care specifically of the European market, which seemed neglected at times.
I'm sure a lot of it is arbitrage now that markets are more volatile. I know I bought about 4,000 EUR worth of bitcoins today that I sold elsewhere. |

Sounds reasonable to me, as long as you keep in mind that the Mt. Gox -> Dwolla step can take anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks, depending on whatever random problems they are having or not having at the time.

No refund yet for me either, but I did get a reply from Patrick to an e-mail I sent to verify@bitcoinica.com asking for some more information. So at least the gears seem to be turning. |

they got 6.5mil out of 150million users
Well, there were 6.5 million distinct passwords. Considering many users pick the same bad passwords, that very likely represents a lot more than 6.5 million users. |
|

|

I expect that they didn't get all user's passwords.
I downloaded the leaked text file and verified that the hash of my password was NOT in there. Checked the hash of another friend from work here, and his wasn't either. So either they didn't get all the passwords, they got all the passwords but didn't release all of them, or the list is a fake. Probably one of the first two (i doubt it's a fake)
EDIT: Also, usernames were not included in the file. So either they don't have the usernames to go with the passwords or more likely they have them but just didn't release them. Probably just waiting to sell the username+password hash list to the highest bidder.

Gonzague,
One suggestion I would make to help alleviate all the fuss and support tickets: Have a small chart on the Withdrawals page with an ETA for each option. If wires to USA take 4-5 days, say that up front. If Dwolla takes 7-10 days, let people know up front. It will save you lots of headaches later by properly setting the expectations in the beginning.
Also, if you could have a button on your site to Cancel a pending withdrawal, that would be nice too. Maybe 4 days ago I decided to withdraw funds, but now I see a buying opportunity. Giving people a way to cancel these themselves will help clear out your withdrawal queue without needing a support ticket each time.
Tony
+1 on the ability to cancel a withdrawal without contacting support. |

The most effective way to arbitrage is to have large buckets of money in each exchange, and don't often deposit or withdraw. But that opens you up to all kinds of risk.
This, and place simultaneous buy and sell orders on the two exchanges. The biggest problem here is how hard it is to move currency between exchanges. BitInstant makes it easy, but the fees are high enough that they often eat any profit you might get at arbitrage. The best thing going now is Dwolla, but with MtGox taking 7 days to process Dwolla withdrawals, it makes it pretty hard to react. |
