MtGox support increase

[dancingnancy]

As many of you may have noticed, price of Bitcoin increased.

Yeah, have noticed...

Maybe you could hire some staff that can deal with the bitcoinica situation?  Like perhaps speaking with the liquidator after half a year?  Not that I expect an answer or anything...

[Herodes]

Two questions:

1. When will I be able to use MtGox instead of other exchanges to cash out money via SEPA? If you have a long waiting queue due to limits couldn't you simply set up more bank accounts in EU?

Great suggestion.

[dancingnancy]

Our NZ attorneys are already dealing with the Bitcoinica situation. There is not much that can be done at this point until the liquidators cooperate.

Wait... what?  Can you expand on this?  The last update we received from the liquidator stated that Mt Gox was not talking to the liquidators, or sharing relevant information.  Has this changed?  Have you seen this thread?....

To All Investors
 
We have received a number of requests for updates on the liquidation of Bitcoinica LP (In Liquidation).
As noted in my email of 20th December 2012, we have requested details of the account records held by Mt Gox.  To date, Mt Gox has refused to release these details on account of confidentiality and has requested that the Liquidators provide various details of the accounts before it releases this information.  As reported in the Liquidators first report, we do not have any company records whatsoever and are reliant upon the assistance of the limited partners and Mt Gox to take control of the bitcoins and cash assets.  We cannot make any progress in the liquidation unless Mt Gox provides us with access to Bitcoinica’s accounts.  We are currently awaiting information from the limited partners so that we can progress the account access issues with Mt Gox.
We apologise for the slow progress in the liquidation, but hopefully the investors will appreciate that we are making every effort to recover the bitcoins and funds in order to make a distribution to creditors as soon as possible.  We will continue to provide updates periodically to keep all investors abreast of the liquidation progress.

 
Kind Regards

On this note, maybe it's time to update the 0.005 default transaction fee when withdrawing money from Mt.Gox to a personal bitcoin address. That's far above market rate at this point (I think even the 0.0005 default will be reevaluated soon).

[] Pay 0.005BTC Fee For Faster Processing

I wouldn't say it's default if it's unselected...

I am satisfied with waiting for 1 confirm with no fee (most of the time, it's within 10 minutes). The only problem I've had with that, MtGox-wise, is it seems like withdrawals sometimes get queued, and the TX doesn't get broadcasted to the network within seconds of clicking it. Otherwise, I hear my blockchain.info/address/ page beep the instant I push a raw TX, and some others will say "sent" to me after I've already heard their TX beep in.

We already have 24/6 support, and will likely continue this way. Support is operating on Sundays only during major outages.

Is there a trade volume level at which you will consider having support available during all times at which trading is available?

MPOE-PR reads

Well, if activity is unusual 10 times a day then something is wrong with your unusually-mometer.

Do you consider behavior of fundamental changes in API without directly notifying API keys holders as normal?

You broke most 3rd party applications and even your official classic and mobile interface without devs being directly warned.

Is this activity usual?

Then she reads

Most open tickets have a resolution within 20 minutes. Remaining cases are when there is not enough information, or when issues are not simple user-specific issues (or linked to an outage).

Then she vaguely recalls endless threads of people complaining about stuff such as having their withdrawals delayed for months while being told that "the developers will be looking into this" and stuff like that.

So let's make a deal Mr Karpeles: you apologize for lying to me right here, I won't bother to compile the endless list of proof to show you just lied. Work for you?

Unfortunately I cannot share more details here as this would go against our privacy policy.

Smooth.  Once we find out (former bitcoinica users) whom has been fucking with us this whole time I can promise you we will make our displeasure well known.  Enjoy sitting on all our coins for the time being, you've earned it.

The statements: "most tickets get resolved within 20 minutes" and "some tickets take >1 month" are not contradictory.

We are currently doubling the support staff at MtGox and should have new staff hired somewhere in April (hopefully), but I though it was worth sharing some numbers.

Please make it possible to grab the order-book more frequently than every 20 minutes.

comboy who maintains http://bitcoinity.org/markets tells me that there's a 20 minute limit on downloading any book from mtgox, which is why only USD shows the full book there (as I understand it also getting EUR book would mean that both EUR and USD would have to be 40 minutes delayed). This is a silly limit imho.

Solving this would only be a matter of buying and setting up more computer hardware. Please do so.

If this is correct, I can only second this. What about being able to fetch the entire orderbook only once pr 30 mins, and then for the rest of the time, it's possible to fetch diffs to that ? Forgive me if this is already possible and I'm unaware of it.

When using data.mtgox.com you can fetch the order book more often.

We are working on creating an opensource daemon that will use our existing API to allow you to query locally a realtime copy of any orderbook/trades.

This is good to know. Will stop development of my own one then. Need help?

Well it has been a year and they hide behind "privacy policy". We can't even get info about our coins cuz it would violate who's privacy? Zhou? Mt Gox's? Oh lol!

Mt. Gox has been known to steal and lock down accounts for years(check the many forum threads). Please try using a different exchange until they give back all the coins that are not theirs (assuming they are not a ponzi and can really do it)

Exactly, who's privacy would you be violating?  Because you have my coins and my cash.  Or someone else has my cash.

Just please show me the BTC address where all our coins are @MagicalTux?

[malevolent]

I'm angry with the lags and leaving now for bitcurex and I encourage all of you to move your money to other exchanges as well, they don't have that much liquidity but this won't change until we all leave Mt.Gox. Not to mention current centralization where most exchange is done at one place is undesirable.

[sukiho]

There are 4000+ accounts in front of me waiting to be verified, so more staff sounds like a good idea

Does one need a verified account to be able to deposit fiat or just to withdraw?

for me to withdraw they want varification and I only have about $100 worth, or did at the time I tried. I havent verified yet as Im happy leaving it there and it means no one can get at it by stealing my ID. hopefully I will be able to verify it easily enough when I decide to

[mobodick]

MagicalTux, please fix your website.
It is now lying to its customers about the actual price.

Recently read that transfering Bitcoins from mtgox takes DAYS (unless you pay some extra).
This is ridiculous

SO what exactly is this about please? Why would this take DAYS?

A few days is only regarding a worst case scenario. In most cases transfers goes quite quickly. The fee in question is also very low.
