1  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Reason why MtGox can go to 0 - without arbirage opportunity with Bitstamp on: February 17, 2014, 05:32:25 AM
Just an FYI on the OP's comment of "MtGox can go to 0".  I have been curiously looking at the full MtGox order book.  There are orders so deep, and so many people with orders of Bitcoin from current price down to .00001 USD.  The full order book for bids is currently almost 34,000,000 BTC deep and I think the complete order book has what looks like a value of around $4.7 million USD.  Only tradingview and RTBTC allow you to magnify out to see the complete order book view.  I think I am correct by assuming since you can't place a bid unless you have fiat in your MtGox account, that means there is at least $4.7 Million USD tied up in MtGox right now, and that would only represent the fiat that is associated with trades.

This is RTBTC:

Compare that to Bitstamp's full order book, which is only 130,000 BTC deep in bids right now.

My experience this week with MtGox - times are US CT:
Sunday, 1/26 at 1251am, Withdrew .425 Bitcoin from MtGox to Bitstamp
Sunday, 1/26 at 1131am, Opened support ticket with MtGox - complained that the withdrawal still was not showing up on the Blockchain
Sunday, 1/26 evening - In another Bitcoin Forum, I learned about how to look up my transaction on http://skanner.net/MtGox/mtgox_tx.php and it was listed as a Bad TX
Monday, 1/27 at 945pm - checked Skanner.net and my transaction no longer was listed
Monday, 1/27 at 948pm - received email from Bitstamp that my BTC arrived
Friday, 1/31 at 306pm - received email answer to my support ticket (Below)

Hi xxxxxxxxxx,
For the past few days some of our users have been suffering from Bitcoin Withdrawal delays where transactions could be stuck for several hours or days.
Please rest assured that this is only affecting a limited number of users and transactions, and that we are working hard on resolving this problem as soon as possible.
We ask for your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this issue and will continue to update you on this matter as the situation evolves.

Best regards,
MtGox Team

I am happy that my little amount of BTC was able to be transferred out and happy that MtGox actually answered my support ticket, but It will take a lot of explaining and possibly even a company buyout or management change for me to use MtGox.  Not communicating with customers is absolutely deplorable.

FYI - I transferred .424 BTC out of my MtGox account at 1250am CT on Sunday, 1/26 and because of this thread, found the transaction listed on http://skanner.net/MtGox/mtgox_tx.php with an OS error.  It just showed up on my Bitstamp account at 948pm pm on Monday, 1/27.

BTW, I also noticed, on Sunday morning, the list of MTGOX withdrawals over two hours old was around 576 - this went up to over 700 today and now (10:15pm on 1/27) there is 398.
