Well the only reason i can think of why someone would try to sell BTC10k around midnight US east coast time (and 0500 - 0600 in Europe) is to manipulate the market. Think we can all agree that if he wanted to cash out he could slowly sell of in smaller chunks and get MUCH more $ out. The sell brought gox down from 590 to 500 and subsequently to 475 on lower volume following up. If the goal was to induce panic so the whale could reenter at lower position think it's safe to say that so far he failed as the market held out pretty reasonably so far, and i feel will recover soon. Now if Gox had 70% of the market as in April this would've been much uglier. So unless the price drops down to $400s that manipulation stunt will cause our whale A LOT of $, and hopefully will deter other a$$holes from trying to manipulate the market (and we can get back to a more natural mass panic snow ball effects instead of one person instigating the avalanche) just my 2c

seriously can't think of a worst error message on the exchange that "it's gone" i mean i guess maybe "i'm on a plane to south america with all your bitcoins" would be worse but not by much.

so what happen? some whale sold with buy orders down below current price and bought back in?
Kinda curious myself, can't explain it. Doubt it was a n00b how many noobs you know who throw few mil worth of coins around?

Kinda glad GOX doesn't have the market now, with China we might have a chance

Shoot them an email they'd happy to offer extortion fee. From what i've read you still have to wait a month maybe more though.
Also your other option is change convert to btc transfer and cash out on other exchanges, might be less than 5% if you time it right
|
|
|
Oh didn't see it. Open a ticket and ask them. Too many password attempts ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)
|
|
|
What's the latest processed USD wire? Do they even wire out anything at all?
|
|
|
They don't deal with US banks, so what bank do you expect them to cut you a check from? As far as India/France i'm not 100% but pretty sure a US bank would have no idea what to do with an Indian/French cheque Checks is like 1920... no country uses checks. Only the USA. The rest of the world uses bankwire or sepa
France and India also use checks a lot. SEPA is only within the EU + EFTA + Monaco. But the question is "why can't mtgox just mail checks to US customers?" I'd say the reason is very simple: they do not want to part with the money of their customers once they have it in their bank account ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Bitcon, I'd seriously consider using a different exchange.

Paper checks are a US thing. No one else has or uses them. You have to have a US bank to issue one with a routing number. So no they can't mail paper checks.
|
|
|
Yeah btc-e no news no information no transparency from btc-e besides "be back approx. May 20" yeah i can't see why this exchanges has so much lower volume than gox
|
|
|
means there was an error in transferring your funds (most likely cause they're low on okpay funds themselves to credit you) support is backlogged for about 4days. So open a ticket and wait 4 days
|
|
|
If they have funds in their okpay account about an hr from my experience. If they're low on funds...who knows up to a week? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)
|
|
|
Yeah a planned maintenance with few days heads up time or hell make it a weekly think like every sat for one hour. Don't announce it 15min before ninja maintenance
|
|

The one grc quoted 04/16/2013 ... 7-00 to 8-00 MSK it's 04/17/2013 1017am there now There was an announcement near the top of their page all day today saying they will have scheduled maintenance... that might be why the site is down.
According to google the announcement said: Dear Customers. 04/16/2013 we close our BTC-E site for Maintenance from 7-00 to 8-00 MSK. With regards, support BTC-E.

Yeah it's been line an hour an update would be nice.
|
|
|
Yeah that was for yesterday. And it's 10 moscow time now
|
|
|
Hope you didn't move them to gox cause after their cooldown that wouldn't be much of a win
