as far as i readed, waiting time to get your withdrawal its abt 3 months, so u're alarming too early

Not for BTC, that's for SEPA (USD is at about 1.5 months).

So they don't save the transaction ID on their databases?
That doesn't make any sense.

Can you show us your communications with the support? Thanks.

galgitron 18:31:
Hi, I still don't see my bitcoins that I withdrew from MtGox

Linda Support 18:31:
Hello.

Linda Support 18:33:
I see that you have made a withdraw of 82.00000000 BTC.

Linda Support 18:33:
Is that correct?

galgitron 18:33:
yes

Linda Support 18:35:
We have a recent BTC withdrawal delay and our development team is working on this.

Linda Support 18:35:
I will keep you updated once the issue is resolved.

galgitron 18:35:
It gave me a transaction receipt number... is that the MtGox receipt or some Bitcoin receipt

galgitron 18:37:
hello?

Linda Support 18:38:
Yes, it is the transaction reference number of the withdraw you have made.











galgitron 18:39:
Linda, I really really need these bitcoins. When will I get them?



galgitron 18:42:
Is it a security issue?? Is it because I used a different payout address?





Linda Support 18:42:
Please apologize. This is just a temporary issue and we will let you know once the issue is resolved.

galgitron 7:09:
I don't know what the sending address is because it comes from MtGox

James Support 7:10:
Okay, thank you for the information.




galgitron 7:11:
If you look at my account history, it says the payment went to my address on 7/29 at 8:26:32 EST. This did not show up in my Bitcoin wallet, and there's no record of it at Blockchain.info so I know MtGox did not send it.





James Support 7:13:
Yes, I'm looking on it.

Hello,

Thank you for the email. Could you please check whether the Bitcoin address 15McP3sb1svztdC9WUYJjdaaVRRG9L2jaV is correct? Please let us know whether you are trying to send BTC to your offline or online wallet, also please provide the details to where you are trying to link the Bitcoin address.

15McP3sb1svztdC9WUYJjdaaVRRG9L2jaV is absolutely correct.

You can see that no payment was sent to this address by visiting http://blockchain.info/address/15McP3sb1svztdC9WUYJjdaaVRRG9L2jaV

This address belongs to my wallet on my computer, not an online wallet, but that is irrelevant because you can see above that no payment was sent in the first place. If you did actually send me the bitcoins, then you should have a Bitcoin transaction ID as proof. Please provide me that bitcoin transaction ID

Hello galgitron,

Thank you for your reply and for confirming the details. Looking at all the transaction on blockchain we can only see that address 15McP3sb1svztdC9WUYJjdaaVRRG9L2jaV was able to receive BTC only from some thing like "No Inputs (Newly Generated Coins)" and we do not see that the address 15McP3sb1svztdC9WUYJjdaaVRRG9L2jaV was able to receive any funds from any other BTC address and we have a second thought on why this was not processed.

Could please confirm if your BTC address is completely capable of receiving BTC if the BTC are send through other BTC address.

Look, its very simple, if you sent me my bitcoins, you would have received a bitcoin transaction number to prove it. If you can't locate this transaction, then you didn't send me the bitcoins, which is clearly demonstrated by the current block chain that shows nothing was paid to my account. Who knows, maybe your transaction went to a bad fork and was destroyed, or maybe your system never sent the bitcoins at all. in any case, you still have my bitcoins. If you can find the bitcoin transaction that proves you paid me, then send it to me, otherwise, please send me my bitcoins. I cannot wait any longer, I need my money urgently.

August 01, 2013 13:27

I just sent myself the rest of my money from MtGox successfully to the address. Please review

http://blockchain.info/address/15McP3sb1svztdC9WUYJjdaaVRRG9L2jaV

to see that I have received 0.07661107 BTC from MtGox on 2013-08-01 at 13:08:01. Now you have proof that MtGox is able to send to that address, and you also have proof that you DIDN'T send me my 82 bitcoins 4 DAYS AGO!! PLEASE SEND ME MY BITCOINS!!!

Wow that's so stupid.

Oops, did you remember to contact Satoshi and have him enable your address to receive Bitcoins? lol

And as for those trying to blame them OP "Why do you need your money", it's his money doesn't matter why he needs it.  82BTC wouldn't put me out on the street but I'd still be pissed off if someone had hi-jacked it.  82BTC I would think is significant enough for most people to get a bit irritated if it was missing.

Sorry that Gox is messing you up. Hope it works out soon.

There's more to the story.  I had actually wired MtGox the money on July 9th and expected it to show up immediately, then I was going to convert it to bitcoins and buy some mining equipment and sell a portion of those bitcoins to all my friends and contacts who do not have a MtGox account.  I figured I would have cash again within a few days of the initial wire.  The crushing results were that MtGox didn't even credit my wired funds for over two weeks!, and then this tragedy where they won't acknowledge they didn't send me the bitcoins...  It's nearly a month since I started this whole thing.  I'm really scratching for cash now.

Finally some useful information from MtGox...

Hello galgitron,

We sincerely apologize for the problems caused. Actually we had an issue with the synchronization of the hot wallets with our cold storage(a methodology to prevent the intruders to hack the BTC directly from the server) and the same had been resolved. However we are still having few transactions(hash) failing to enter the block chain. Already we are in the verge of re broadcasting all of the transactions that had an issue and hopefully this is resolved sooner.

A special thanks for confirming the capabilities of your wallet address and it was helpful while we escalated the issue to the development team.

Also be noted that the hash: "a326763ea5294879aa16c32b345d2627705006fee16369851af411f9fecd2854" still is in our MtGox transaction that needs to be broadcast and 100% be assured that your BTC's are not lost.

Once again sorry for the delay and thanks for the kind understanding.

We will speak to you once the coins are purged out.

Best regards,

Mt.Gox Team

I am still waiting for my 15 bitcoin withdraw from 31 July, I have had pretty much the exact same problem. Hopefully mine will be processed soon as well.

I definitely will not be using mtgox again after this, their customer support is a joke really.

Wow, what a nightmare. Glad you got your coin! I don't think there's any way I would that amount sit anywhere in the BTC world, at this point in time.

Best of luck!

looks like you got your money... but next time pay the network fee, I have found that it seems to hit the blockchain and get processed a lot faster

I usually get a pretty quick transfer even without paying the fees, but I'm sure that will change as adoption matures.  Ultimately, no fees would've prevented this disaster...

Faraday, seriously keep on them in the help desk.  Be the squeaky wheel that they just want to get rid of.  Despite my painful experience, I'm fairly convinced that MtGox is motivated to maintain their reputation, and if you can prove their shenanigans (like I did with the blockchain evidence), they'll probably do what they can to correct it and avoid bad publicity.

Sadly, despite all this drama, I think I'm still stuck with MtGox for the short term.  I'm completely offshore and have no interest in utilizing US financial conduits.

Maybe it was a really big TX but didn't pay fees ...

Wow... I called it... Horrifying that Mt.Gox is sending Fee-free TX and just hoping a charitable node will pick it up.  That is really cheap!  I suspect you would have been willing to throw in an extra 0.0001 BTC in order to get your other 81.9999 in and hour instead of a week.  Mt.Gox really deserves some he11 for that.

You need not to worry about this and the transaction will processed successfully, please co operate with us.

James man, please believe me, I'm trying to cooperate the best I can, but you need to understand that MtGox is holding over $8000 of my money and nobody will tell me if or when they will eventually give it to me

OK that transcript alone is enough to launch a MtGoxSux site.  Glad you got it worked out man.  Didn't realize that the TXID they give you is a Mt.GoxTXID not a bitcoinTXID.  Scary!

Sadly, despite all this drama, I think I'm still stuck with MtGox for the short term.  I'm completely offshore and have no interest in utilizing US financial conduits.
I'd start shopping BitStamp at this point.  I founding it pretty easy to get money in haven't tried getting it out Sad

I'll take the blame for not paying the transaction fees, it's a checkbox that I can select or not during payment.  This wasn't what caused my BTCs to get lost, it was an internal error from MtGox.  I've never paid fees for transactions because it doesn't make much difference in processing time, as evidenced by how quickly my 82 BTCs showed up once they re-attempted to send the transaction.  I imagine once the bitcoin network starts to saturate, this fee will become much more effective, but as it is right now, there's ample bandwidth for free transactions.

I looked at BitStamp and it definitely shows promise, thanks!

This TX qualifies for free relaying. It does not need fees to be relayed by the Satoshi client.

So according to James a whole day of bitcoin transactions is missing? Why am I the only one posting about this if it's true?! Anyway it seems there is not much I can do other than keep waiting.

Also this was the one time I didn't pay transaction fee. (As I didn't need the BTC immediately, thought it might take 24 hours or something. No idea the transaction would end up lost for a week! Pay transaction fee people!)
