updated thread with MtGox SEPA delays and Bank of America issues.

Update it again. This morning my SEPA transfer arrived. Less than 48h, as always.

Done. But mine didn't, and it's already 6 days.

Dude, I don't mean offense but you remind me of the Indian guy from my ISP support telling me on the phone to try and reboot the router.

I prefer virwox. Been using them since last Nov for buying and light trading. They have been around since before bitcoin. I believe they could be the most trustworthy exchange. If i'm in a hurry to get bitcoins, I can get them within 5mins.

P.S. Someone just made a buy up to about $150 on virwox. I guess they really needed their coins lol. It caught one of my sells around $145, guess I'm looking to buy again

virvox is good to send fiat there and to sell coins. Their fees are big, specially since ssl has to be bought first.

Their prices are always about 10-20% higher than Gox in equivalent $.  Never understood why... but if you are looking to sell and can get the money out (you can actually use Paypal to get the money into/out of virwox) its a good route.

It is definitely the case that the weak-spot for Bitcoin currently is the need for interaction with the banks, the very entities which stand to lose a lot if Bitcoin succeeds.

basicaly..   bitcoin24 will come back !

Apparently, yes - a lot of people have gotten their BTC back this week, including me.

Now what remains is the "small" matter of a few million EUR that are still stuck in the banks.

Yes. Which is why the solution lies in 1-way transfers, i.e. people only need to get out of fiat once and stay invested in Bitcoin.
This becomes more viable when more business accept Bitcoin. Fortunately, the trend is sharply up, every day more websites and brick-and-mortar shops are accepting it. After a few years the rolling snowball will be an avalanche!
