Over a year ago, Mt. Gox started to support BTC exchange markets in addition to BTC/USD.

If on the BTC/CAD market they were to only show the actual bids and asks just for buying and selling bitcoins with CAD, the depth would be real low and prices would be horrible for buying in any size.

But look ... it has depth -- about as good at BTC/USD or any other currency market at Mt. Gox.


 - http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/mtgoxCAD_depth.html

So what that depth includes are bids and asks from other markets at Mt. Gox, after adjusting for some fee amount to convert those funds to CAD.

So Mt. Gox doesn't maintain CADs for each sell into a BTC/CAD bid. Sometimes they need to then convert USDs or EURs or whatever other currency into CADs to serve your withdrawal request.

From another thread:

Q.) Does [MtGox] maintain full reserve?  (i.e., [MtGox] controls bank accounts with all customer USD funds and controls wallets with 100% of BTC funds.  None of these amounts loaned out.)

As described in our Terms of Service, customer funds are kept in full, and none are loaned.

So though they do assert that they maintain all customer balances, the value of those funds may not be in the specific currency of which you are wishing to withdraw.    So for each of your $1 CAD to be withdrawn Mt. Gox has $1 CAD worth of fiat, just not in CAD.  They probably have an active forex account moving funds from the currency where they have excess inventory and filling in the currencies where inventory is low or out.

Read the OP before posting

Daily thresholds automatically load funds whenever a target set by the dev is reached.

Mt. Gox may or may not use such a system.

Um ... no.  It happens because they don't hold CADs to back every bid on the BTC/CAD order book.   When you sell into those bids, and Mt. Gox's estimate of how much selling into the BTC/CAD would occur was too little, they then need to convert funds from some other currency they hold.

Scroll up.  It's all explained for you.

Of course they don't back every bid in every supported currency. But they certainly are able to proceed with USD to CAD conversion in much shorter time than a month (see date of the ticket), instead of waiting and then issuing such a fucked up response, don't you think?

EDIT: And how did this happen that we're accustomed to such a dismal customer service and even apologize for it?

Hello,

My name is Natalie and I am responsible for our customer support.  Due to insufficient CAD on our account at the moment, we are unable to send CAD withdrawals and today is a public holiday in Japan.  We will be working on having the conversion done after the long weekend to have enough CAD in order to process your withdrawal.  Our apologies once again for the delay and inconvenience this has caused and thank you for your patience while we are working to resolve this matter.

They have multiple currency involved, maybe it's a lack of CAD, and there is a surplus in another currency, they must convert !

However, MtGox makes so much profit daily, I doubt they could run out of any currency, unless too much fiat have been withdrawn..

I would think it's BS, but MtGox made me few strange call, few orders that should have been executed and did not, and ticket where resolved with non-sense explanation.. 

Too many miss !    I simply removed all my fund almost a year ago, and I dont think I'll ever trade with them again.
