According to some info I read on these boards, SEPAs take around a month nowdays. I made a withdrawal on the 29th, so let's wait together till the beginning of March...

So Sturle, what date is the SEPA queue up to right now? Can u check on IRC?

IRC has been very noisy for the last couple of days due to a DDoS against Freenode and BTC withdrawal issues.  Last report I got was Sunday.  They were processing SEPA withdrawals from 2013-12-30.

What I believe was the root cause of the BTC withdrawal problems has been removed.  It can only get better from here.  But MtGox have a lot of cleaning up to do, because their database of unspent coins contain a lot of coins which have been spent, and may lack a lot of coins (txid:txout references) which are unspent.  If I am right, this is a very complex issue and not easy to clean up.  I'd guess a couple days more of problems until everything is sorted out and accounted for.  I will leave it up to MtGox to disclose the details.

no please don't leave it to them! If you know WTF is going on, explain to people, otherwise be ignored for spreading fud
nothing works right now, gox is saying small txn should be ok and it is complete BS, i send several 0.3 btc txns and all but one failed.
somebody said that small is not amount but size, so in this case why even bother to mention it on a support site, if i can't control the size of a txn

what do you believe is the root case, i beg you don't be so mysterious

A bold claim. I do hope it proves true though.

PhydeauxLeChien = sturle? or you know what sturle is thinking? or you both are MtGox bots?

A small tx is likely to use fewer inputs.  Because an unknown portion of the inputs MtGox may attempt to use are void, the chance of failure is higher the more inputs your tx require.

No, I will leave it up to MtGox due to the risk of disclosing too many details prematurely, and because there are enough people spreading rumours already.  People will always think the rumours are better than the truth anyway.  Since I have no other knowledge about MtGox's wallet than what can be deduced from previous delayed transactions, my explanation will have a few assumptions in it as well.

Here is everything disclosed by MtGox until now:

12:52 < x> MagicalTux: why can't we see the raw transactions anymore on https://data.mtgox.com/api/0/bitcoin_tx.php ?
12:53 <@MagicalTux> x, because phantomcircuit found a security issue with showing this

because people figured out gox is faking txns? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=314901.0;all

Hello everyone,

As MtGox's Update announcement said, the frozen transactions got cancelled and BTC was refunded (just got my BTC refunded in my MtGox wallet).

Tried making a new transaction despite having another one in limbo, and guess what? It went through and appeared on the blockchain in a matter of seconds!

Just saying so that those of us waiting on numb transactions can regain some hope - the hope that the frozen BTC and all of the remaining BTC in our MtGox wallets entirely migrate to another exchange sooner than later!

Although MtGox say all stuck transactions have been refunded - mine have not (as of yet). Is anyone else still waiting for their coins to be put back into their account?

mine haven't been returned either, i thought they returned older coins first ? i.e more than 10 days, mine has been in the limbo for about 7 days

[zyk]

The second in limbo transaction to which I was referring (2-3 days old) also disappeared from the Skanner, and hasn't been refunded.

Ah!  So Mt. Gox was doing their accounting from a proprietary database and someone was using said database to pilfer BTC, eh?  No wonder a lot of their staff was let go.

I hope the database in which Mt. Gox keeps our KYC dox is more secure.  But I kind of doubt it.

Maybe some day Mt. Gox will stop losing control of their databases.  As my friend who is an operating room nurse says: "The bleeding always stops."

It is now returned after being stuck 7 days. So check the date/time of your btc withdrawals.

[outsiders]
