First time I withdrew from mtgox I got an error (in this thread a couple pages back).  Turned out they gone over the LR transfer limit for the day.  After midnight UTC the transfer suddenly worked.   

So I was hoping that this time round, when my funds didn't appear, and now the queuing system is in place, I would just have to wait til after midnight again and the queuing system would transfer everything across.  No luck, though.  It's after midnight and still no funds.  Assuming everything is working as it should, it can only mean the queue is very very long right now.  There really should be some information on the length of the queue on the mtgox website.

How sustainable is this though?  Are there any analyses out there about this crazy rise in bitcoin value?

I would like to hear some good arguments to persuade me this isn't a self-reinforcing bubble with nothing at the end of it except a loud 'pop'...

Just tried now (0130 GMT+1) and I can withdraw!  So perhaps the new day starts at midnight GMT?

Now liberty reserve login page is broken though, D'OH!
EDIT: was getting a 500 error on liberty reserve login page.  Just had to clear cookies in firefox and it started working again.

OK.  Cheers for the responses here and on #bitcoin-otc.

EDIT: managed to withdraw

I'm also getting the same error as idev, namely "Problem Withdrawing. Please email: support@mtgox.com".

Are other people also experiencing problems? Anyone any info on what may be the reason?  I've sent an email to the address above, just awaiting a response.

Site is down. Have you taken the site down permanently, or is this just technical problems? 

Gutted if you've had to take it down permanently, was hoping to sell some bitcoins in the next couple of days, and was generally a well put-together site.  A big loss to the bitcoin community (especially us Brits) if it's gone.

I'm just wondering if anyone has come up with some software to display the mtgox ticker in the windows xp system tray (or 'notification area' if you wanna be a dick about it)? 

I know there is a windows 7 widget, but I don't have windows 7, and besides, you could only see that if all windows were minimized or small.

There are some basic human rights issues with banning bitcoins for trade.  It would be equivalent of banning bartering.

I could imagine 'soft' measures to discourage it, however, using the excuse of money laundering, purchase of illegal goods, and 'cash in hand' work for tax avoidance.  

So attempts at monitoring and investigating bitcoin transactions will almost definitely happen, though to what extent is the real question.  It may be that when you have a legitimate reason for trading large volumes of bitcoin you will have to register yourself with an official body and submit to audits, or risk investigation and possible prosecution.

What settings do you use?  CUDA is much worse on both Quadro FX 5800 and Geforce 9800GT for me.  On the Quadro FX 5800 (still a rather high end card) I only get 50 Mh! - surely that's not right?

Phew!  Back up.

Wow, I literally just a minute ago withdrew all my 1.76 bitcoins (lol) from deepbit, then it went down! Hope it wasn't my fault!

Only noticed when my PC suddenly went quiet.  Don't realise how loud a mining operation is until it dies.

I have to say the same.  With my Nvidia 9800GT, poclbm OpenCL maxes at 25 MH (30 if I use -f 0), whereas rpcminer-cuda gives 18 MH if I'm lucky - and I've played with the settings a lot.

[oh and rpcminer-opencl doesn't work for me at all.  It never actually connects after initialising.  In windows task manager I just see rpc-opencl use more and more RAM, until eventually it crashes(!)]

This to me doesn't make sense - CUDA is more low-level and optimized for Nvidia, is it not? Surely it should run faster than OpenCL?
