OMG, I thought that customer support from my cable company was horrible! Well, it is, actually, but in, comparison to MTGox customer support it is the best thing since sliced bread!

The situation:

(Just so you know, and to forestall comments about using Dwolla instead, I wasn't aware at the time that the fees were so low, and have since made an account at Dwolla, and have used them a few times)

On Feb 20th I submitted a support case about a wire transfer. I had a problem, as I couldn't find the information their automated withdrawal form required. I sent them all the information my bank supplied, and asked how to fill out the form. The problem was that my bank, a credit union, didn't have a swift#, only an ABA routing number. They had an Intermediate bank, that DID have a swift#, though.

After the second attempt at sending them the information, the support agent listed off the specific information I would need to enter in the form for it to work. I plugged in the information, and sent off a trial wire transfer of the minimum of $50. Surprise, surprise, it never showed up.

Anyway, to make a really long story a bit shorter, the information they provided was WRONG! The money got stalled at the intermediary bank, and the transfer was rejected due to incorrect account information, upon which they charged me ANOTHER $50 in fees!

When I noticed this additional debit to my account, I immediately contacted support once again, to ask why they had charged me another $50, and that's when I found out that it had been refused and that they (MTGox) had withdrawn the $50, from my (MTGox)account, to cover the fees the banks had charged them for the failed transfer.

I asked why they were charging me for this, since I had followed EXACTLY the directions given by their own support agent, and they kept trying to blame ME for the mistake. Finally, they said that they would refund me a total of $25.18, the amount that would have been deposited in my account if the transfer had worked. I was quite upset about this, and demanded a refund. I wanted my money back, as they were basically charging me for a mistake on their part! Eventually, after repeatedly saying they had no way to refund my money, they said that they would "Contact their management group" to inquire about a refund. This all happened on March 10th.

On March 14th they asked for my bank's swift#, again, even though they were told MANY times that it doesn't have one?!?!?

The last response I received was on March 19th, "We are currently waiting for our upper management to have these funds reversed back into your Mt.Gox account balance. We apologize for the delay."

Nothing since, even though I have asked three times what is going on. NOTHING has been returned, not even the $25.18!

At this point they are either actively ignoring me, or figure I'll just go away eventually.



WTF, MTGox, is this how you treat your customers?!?!?

Blame them for your employees incompetence, and then CHARGE them for it?!?!?

Is this the norm for MTGox CS? Or did I just happen to get the worlds dumbest, most inconsiderate "support agent"?

Is there anyone else I can contact to get this worked out?


Thoughts?


BTW, I'll gladly share the logs of these chats upon request.

Hmm, not sure if this is where to put this, but here goes.

I had a small amount, less than $300, in Mt Gox, and wanted to withdraw it to pay some bills. The only real option was a wire transfer, and I gathered the information required.

My checking account is with a Credit Union, and they do not have a SWIFT # of their own, they go through Wells Fargo as an intermediary bank.

I was unsure as to what specific information I needed, so I contacted Mt. Gox support, and sent them the documents provided by my bank. They got back to me, and listed the specific information I would need for the wire transfer form.

I made a trial transfer, the $50 minimum, on February 20th, and waited. And waited some more. On the 1st I got a response that the funds had been processed, and should show up in my account shortly.

Today, I logged into my Mt. Gox account to find that not only the $50 I withdrew, but another ~$50 in fees have been removed from my account, for "unprocessed withdraw (invalid account number)"!

Now I'm out over $100, and have nothing to show for it.

Seems they have decided to stop responding to people, and would rather take their money/BTC.

I initiated the process of selling 16BTC for a direct deposit on Sunday the 30th of October, and after the automated responses, sent off my BTC to the address they gave me. So far, I have not had any response from them, nor any deposit. They have ignored at least 6 emails asking for a progress report. 

Sad thing is, I have used them in the past and had minimal delay in payment being completed.

Buyer/seller beware.

Figured I'd post some current client download mirrors, their file names, and associated checksums for those that can't download them from sorceforge.

*not sure this belongs here, if not, could a mod kindly move it?*

Thought I'd post a link to an archive site I found that has older Catalyst driver sets:

Here


Older versions of the SDK:

Here

You'll have to answer a quick survey to get access. I just chose "I want to archive it"

I couldn't find any specific solution for this issue, I'm using GUIMiner, and running two 5850 cards, and I'm getting nearly 100% cpu core usage on core 1, if I uncheck cpu affinity on both, then I get nearly 50% usage across all four cpu cores!

Help!

So, I just got two 5850 cards, and want to try them out, to make sure they work okay.

How would I go about making them both work without using crossfire? My current setup is two monitors, one is dvi and the other is hdmi. Do I just connect one monitor to each  card? Will it work with a dvi/hdmi setup, or will I need to get a dvi to hdmi adapter?

I'm lost on this.

Pretty sure this is the wrong place for this, but, it's the best I could find. Move if necessary.

I was just wondering if there was any way to display the current shares, Mh/s and confirmed/unconfirmed balance for my pool miners with the screen on my G13 keyboard?

Hello again.

I was hoping to get some suggestions from those with a bit more experience than I for a cheap/stable MB/processor combo to use with a pair of 5850 cards?

This rig will most likely be setup either in an old case I have laying around, or totally caseless. I plan on going without HD or optical drive, just boot from a usb thumbdrive.

Preferably I would like to be able to control it completely remotely from my main rig, say Damn Small Linux with persistence accessed via ssh/vpn.

I have some old DDR2 ram laying around from older rigs, so DDR2 on the MB would cut some initial cost. I can also scare up a 550w power supply, though I'll probly have to use molex to PCIe converters to power the cards.

Thanks for your time.

Hello, pretty new to this bitcoin thing, and the GPU tweaking that goes along with mining for it.

I have been playing around with the XFX 6950 card I have in my gaming rig.

2GB ram, stock core 840/1250 with two monitors, 24" 1080p and 21" 1280/1024 Win7 pro 64bit

I have flashed it with an XFX 6970 bios which opens up a bit more range, along with the extra shaders.

Playing around, I have found that 900 is about as high as I can get and keep the system stable. Pretty sure I'm missing something here, since I'm not too confident in my overclocking knowledge.

905/1250 gave me a stable system with about 360-365Mhash/s without any flags

900/1250 gives me a stable system(so far, 3 hours in) with the voltage bumped to 1.175 I get ~397Mhash/s with -v -w128 set

One problem I have, though, while mining I can not view ANY video at all, or the whole system freezes, and I have to reboot.


Few questions:

What if any flags should I be using within GUIminer? Should I be using another miner?

I understand boosting the core of the gpu= more Mhash/s, what affect if any does modifying the memory core have, up or down?

Is it possible to get a 6950 bios that allows core speeds of 900 for this card? If so, where? I tried looking around, and couldn't get one to let me go over 880.

I have MSI Afterburner, and even with that couldn't get the GPU core over 880 without having to flash the 6970 bios. :-(

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
