Why are so many willing to camp outside Mt.Gox's doors for 2 weeks?

March 25, 2013, 10:24:55 PM

Mt.Gox has a 2 week waiting list to get verified. After a bit of research into reviews, safety, etc. I bought my BTC through https://www.bitstamp.net/ and had my coins no problems in under a day. There are plenty of other acceptable options too.

In 2 weeks who knows what the price might be, but they still have most of the market. I'm sure Mt.Gox are a fine exchange, but what's so awesome about them that makes it well worth queuing up for a fortnight?

Volume. It's certainly not the turn around or fund security.

How did you deposit to BitStamp and get BTC in under a day?

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Sepa deposits are handled in less than a day, actually. This only if you don't deposit too much.

My anger against what is wrong in the Bitcoin community is productive:
Bitcointa.lk - Replace "Bitcointalk.org" with "Bitcointa.lk" in this url to see how this page looks like on a proper forum (Announcement Thread)
Hashfast.org - Wiki for screwed customers

A SEPA bank transfer. I'm in the EU, and so are they. Will probably be slower with them if you're outside the EU.

How much did you deposit? (Approximately - sorry for the indiscretion).
