I didn't check any of the options when withdrawling from mtgox.

 Use a Green Address

 Open Transaction (6 Confirmations)

 Pay 0.0005BTC Fee For Faster Processing (Required for Transactions below 0.01 BTC)

Should that be a problem?


Edit: woot! a confirmation.

[carebear]

I seriously think there are better coins than bitcoin... Bitcoin just takes fucking AGES to confirm.

IMO, LTC or any of the other fast transacting coins should take it's place.

It doesn't take that long, your free to use what ever currency you want to.

Yep

I too still waiting for a bunch of confirmations. I have the amount in wallet but there is not usable because it has been seen only of 1 node and I still wait to be seen by more nodes. Long time to wait.

Better than getting your money locked up by PayPal for 6 months.

Incidentally, no fee was paid.    I don't think it mattered with this last transaction because no blocks occurred for about a half hour before your transaction got confirmed, so it appears your transaction was included in the first block following when your transaction was broadcast.

But normal variance can cause longer delays between blocks.  Around once every two days there is an hour between blocks (on average, when hashing capacity is near the target).
