Mtgox withdrawal: invalid bitcoin address, please confirm your input

[cspeter8]

Appeared the other day, I opened a problem ticket, the issue went away, but now it is back and consistently broken, with dest addresses from localbitcoins wallet as well as bitaddress.org.

Anyone else getting this problem?

Yes I am also running into this with a localbitcoins address.

Check for whitespace at the start/end of the address.

Paste the address into notepad and manual select/copy it again.

if that happens i usually pick open tx and network fee, sprinkle some fairy dust on my keyboard and it seems to magically go through

[cspeter8]

yes, this has happened on and off a few times with the same address.  I've seen this same issue reported by others as well, in the 'MtGox withdrawal delays [Gathering]' thread.  Seems to clear up after a few hours, a day or half a day.    I contact support, and when they try and see it is working they respond back and say 'try it now'.

I'm happy I can move my bitcoin out usually within a day or two, not too bad.

It seems that mtgox service is not so great, until you read about some other exchanges which perhaps were/are even worse.  Localbitcoins seems to be the way to go.

Happened to me too just right now. Tried 4 or 5 addresses, no one works.

Same here. I've already opened a ticket with them. Could you guys please do the same? There's a bigger chance they will have a look at it if more people complain. Thanks!

Same error here and sent them a ticket. Whew! i'm not the only one.

It happens when their hotwallet has run out of coins and needs to be refilled from cold storage. Try again in a few hours and it should be fine.

If that is true, it would be awfully nice if their UI explained the actual problem!
