Yeah, they screwed me over 6.5 BTC due to holding cash they promised multiple times would be released.  I will never use them again. Way too much of a loss to be bothered by their nonsense.  Support keeps telling you withdrawals in both BTC or cash are catching up and will resume normally in no time, after 5 weeks of lies they still remain the same...

We as a community should not take this kind of junk service and allow them to die a slow death as they've caused so much frustration in many of us and I'm sure the newcomers will feel their pain soon enough.

Is ogrr dead? I see that its still active, or you aren't investing in it. Also noticed in the general help some users are having issues with retrieving earned mBTC because there seems to be no admin activity. Just figured i'd ask

Sorry but that really doesn't make any sense.

First off, if the process had worked based on their advice, I would have been able to buy somewhere for lower and sell higher, therefore continuing to make good profit. With this in mind, it does not matter the cost of BTC as long as there is a variant in price, and there still is. Yes if it sounds too good to be true, then it is.

Secondly, I had no opportunity to re-enter the BTC market as MTGOX would not release my funds that were in queue until after multiple requests, meaning I had no money to exchange for BTC.

Thirdly, I directly asked them the timeframe on withdrawals and was given a response which was then false.

Anyways, yes it's life, nothing I can do. Hope others don't fall victim to their deceit.

By the time I went to convert my cash to BTC after it was sitting there for so long in queue for withdrawal, I lost the 7.5 BTC into 1, hence a 6.5 loss.  If I hadn't taken Gox advice from their support on withdrawal times I would have never started the process.  7.5 BTC would have been nice to still have at this point, live and learn I guess. Might not be a large amount for some, but for me it was quite a lot and was proud of it hah.

I just hope others read this post and don't have to lose so much by believing their statements and misleading account setup support.

Hah, my buddy texted me last night asking if I still had my BTC, sadly I lost a bunch because of Mtgox bs, but he's jealous he didn't jump in either. If only it would hit 100k Smiley Hold on to it!!!

Ok well this whole scenario just makes me irate but I figured I'd share for those who are unaware, as I was. For some this might be old news but I'm quite confident there's many that will benefit greatly by not making the same choice.

I typically use cavirtex.com which is a great bitcoin exchange for Canadians.  However, I felt it was time to play some various exchanges and find some "theoretically" good ways of making some extra BTC to hold on to for the long haul.  Well, what seemed like a good approach was to buy some BTC, sell on mt gox....rinse and repeat to generate some cashflow to purchase more BTC.  After contacting mt gox, because I had heard of withdrawal issues for USD, they assured me they were only a couple weeks back logged and would be caught up shortly and wires would resume naturally. 

The real frustration was that they assisted me in setting up all my bank wire transfer information so that I was assured it would be correct, never once did they inform me there was a massive delay in withdrawing funds to my account. "Sure we will take your money, but you aren't getting it back"  is basically all I got from them Angry

The question I sent in was quite self explanatory: "Just curious if there are ways to withdraw cash to my canadian bank account and how long it takes?"

Well, wasn't that a big lie......After countless emails I always got the same response which was that they were backlogged and catching up is just around the corner.  Over 2 months of waiting and receiving the exact same responses went by and it was clear this wasn't going to happen. 

I'd like to hear if anyone in recent months has received anything when withdrawing funds, I ended up losing 6.5 BTC which for me was huge especially with 2 kids and xmas just around the corner.  Anyways, do more research before you take such adventures as I learnt the hard way even with direct communication with "Michael" from Mt. Gox.  Clearly they don't even believe in having the professional courtesy to say hey there's an issue with withdrawing funds so we highly advise you withdraw BTC for the time being...

Hope this helps for those that are thinking of similar strategies......sometimes even doing your research ahead of time results in deceit.

I just make sure I set a password within my wallet so that when sending coins you must enter this password for those coins to be passed on to the desired location. You should be fine then.

Your best opetion is to join a pool. If you are trying to do this solo then you are likely never going to find anything.  Joining a pool will give you a lot more "luck" in finding coins over the long term.  Wish I had free electricity lol
