Exactly as the title reads, address is correct, tried multiple times on different addresses, still no luck. Give me my money MTgox! Anyone had similar problem?

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

I believe I heard on #mtgox on freenode IRC that this happens if the MtGox hot wallet is low on funds. It should be fixed quite soon, especially now that Japanese Business hours have started again.

My guess is that with the consistent >10$ difference everyone's trying some arbitrage at the moment, hence the exhaustion of the hot wallet! :O

How is that?
With Gox price higher, people would want BTC to be IN gox, so they can sell high.
But what I don't get is, how are these people getting the USD out?! Since there is almost no way to withdraw USD from Gox.

Oh yeah, good point, wasn't thinking properly. I guess people are just buying BTC and withdrawing it elsewhere, hence the continuing rise in the exchange rate. Arbitrage would then only make sense once USD withdrawal problems are sorted out.

I placed a support ticket, and kept trying to withdraw, as I clicked it for the millionth time it was a success. Same address, same everything. The support desk person must have either flicked a switch and made it work or the hotwallet got some more funds.

I got a reply back from my support ticket.

"Hello Vox,

Thank you for contacting us. It appears for some reason this error is triggered from the platform for few BTC withdrawals specially, we are currently investigating on the cause and the solution.

However please drop a line if you were able to withdraw after a while. We appreciate your patience and sincere apologies for the inconveniences caused.

Best regards,

Mt.Gox Team
https://www.mtgox.com"

Hope this helps.. I think it just boils down to the things you want to do to make money are going to be made hard? lulz

Forget about getting your central bank money back after investing in BTC?  I'm in it for the long haul and have no interest in not having BTC =D

It was more like 24-48 hours between their twp emails.. I didn't get the first message that I had sent a ticket posted right away... I never tried re-sending to the address that wasn't working.. I just sent to a different address.

Just chiming in that this "Invalid bitcoin address, please confirm your input" BS is still alive and well.  Count me as another screwed pooch.  I can't even believe how cross this makes me...  Mt. Gox can't expect to survive with this kind of "Paypal'esque" customer abuse can they?

Srsly wtf.  Telling me my addresses are bad to cover their lack of funds?  What evil.  Do they care how much time I wasted trying addresses from 4 different wallets before coming here to find kindred souls?
