MtGox withdrawal delays [Gathering]

[BitPaulo]

Hi

does anyone knows why they have removed direct wire deposit to their account?

i ve seen they have added money polo

and you need to get verified by moneypolo to be able to deposit even if you have been verified by gox


so they are goxing u in a way or the other.......

I have been with Gox since Jan 2014 and I always saw this message. The only deposits I have been making are through SEPA with my EURO account. I wanted to use my other accounts but I didn't want to go through the verification process with MoneyPolo.

Not sure why it was not showing in your account before. When did last try to deposit money? maybe you didn't see it.

a double-verification gox which in turn creates a double malleable transaction double spend and you wait double the time to see the funds land and double again to withdraw. i'm doubly confused now!

update out!

"With this new system in place, MtGox should be able to resume withdrawals
soon. At the beginning we will do so at a moderated pace and with new daily/
monthly limits in place to prevent any problems with the new system and to take
into account current market conditions. "
"
In order to launch the new system, we are going through the following steps:"
"
-" Re-indexing the entire Blockchain (approx. 32 million entries)"
-" Fully deploying the new NTX ID"
-" Implementing a new bitcoin withdrawal queue that needs to be tested"
"
We will update everyone again by Thursday at the latest. "

yeah, finally some good news.

let's see how the market will respond to this..!

[BitPaulo]

damn, I wish I had fiat on gox now... the price is going up already. Once Europe and the US wakes up, the price will go up again..!

new daily/monthly limits in place [...] Implementing a new bitcoin withdrawal queue

Wow, I'm so glad, after delays in withdrawing Fiat, caused by bank limit, we will have delays to withdraw BTC because MighTy Gox decided.
What good news ...

Well, at least it seems less likely that Gox is leaving with our money. that's the good part. I am happy to see that I didn't loose everything.

Now, the bad news you mentioned is...  freaking annoying. I wonder how long will the queue take to clear up. also, this could give the first ones in line a huge advantage to be able to sell their cheap BTCs on other exchanges..

Here's the full post.  If you read my previous posts you'll see that I had very little belief Gox would pull through.  I should point out that I feel much more optimistic knowing that Blockchain.info is somehow collaborating with them.

Tokyo, Japan, February 17th, 2014

Dear MtGox Customers,

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the recent suspension of external
bitcoin transfers. Fortunately, as we announced on Saturday we have now
implemented a solution that should enable withdrawals and mitigate any issues
caused by transaction malleability (please see our previous statements for
details on this issue).

Thanks to our friends at Blockchain.info, MtGox now has a workaround that will
use a unique identifier created by Blockchain to show whether transactions have
been modified or not. This will prevent any fraudulent use of the malleability
issue and protect the assets of our customers.

Resuming Withdrawals

With this new system in place, MtGox should be able to resume withdrawals
soon. At the beginning we will do so at a moderated pace and with new daily/
monthly limits in place to prevent any problems with the new system and to take
into account current market conditions.

In order to launch the new system, we are going through the following steps:"

-" Re-indexing the entire Blockchain (approx. 32 million entries)"
-" Fully deploying the new NTX ID"
-" Implementing a new bitcoin withdrawal queue that needs to be tested"

We will update everyone again by Thursday at the latest. "

Additionally, you may have noticed that we have added a new login system that
sends you an email when you successfully access your account. This is an
additional security layer, but as always we strongly encourage our customers to
use the 2-step authorization options available in our Security Center. "

Thank you again for your support, and we look forward to resume bitcoin
withdrawals as quickly as possible.

Best regards,

MtGox Team

How does a queuing work? is it the first come first served? or do they use other types or variables like amount to withdraw, bribes, etc?

WHEN resume withdrawales?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK THE MTGOX UPDATE!
I NEED MY BTC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What would the new daily limit be?

If 10B per account ,that is obviously too high because most of the users have less than 10B.

1 B per account? That seems some big holders should wait for years to withdraw all of them....

I speculate it could be the largest of e.g. 10% of your balance or 10 BTC. This scheme would work reasonably well for everybody.

[whave]

Again with the speculation. Why can't you guys just wait for the official confirmation?

I'm just saying. I know MtGox isn't that speedy about the updates and providing information, but WHAT'S THE POINT OF THE GUESSING GAME?

Bitcoin distribution.


Mt.Gox claims to have a million customers, and I think 300,000 of them had nonzero balance in the latter part of January when the withdrawal by any means became impossible.

It is unlikely that many of the very smallest balances would have used Mt.Gox, but also unlikely that many of the very biggest would have had at least all of their coins there.

Judging from the characteristics of the distribution, I believe 5% of the Mt.Gox accounts (15,000 accounts) have larger than BTC10 balance in them, and that they collectively hold 90% of Mt.Gox BTC IOUs. Likely at least BTC1,000,000 is still held in Mt.Gox atm.

If they claim to not have 100% of the coins, that automatically classifies them as criminal, so as a corollary I must be wrong, and they must have the coins. Their "problem" to transfer them is not a function of number of BTC transferred, but the transaction size (which may be very large if parsed incorrectly) and the raw blocksize of the Bitcoin network. Essentially they can send a certain number of transactions per day, regardless big or small.

Once withdrawals are enabled, there is nothing, except Mt.Gox's insatiable desire to rape their largest customers once more, to prevent them from sending out 90% of the coins to 5% of the customers in the first 24 hours, essentially proving that they are solvent and pacifying the 95% of customers with the remaining 10% of coins. Any other solution is a further proof of insolvency resulting from and in criminal action, lying, cronyism etc usw.
