Mt Gox Withdraw to USD

[daneldanny]

Hey guys,

How bad are the withdraw problems from mt gox to usd?

Is there always a delay or has this issue been fixed?

[jonanon]

Very bad - don't even try - stay clear of Mt Gox until they sort it out.

Where do you advice to change bitcoins for cash then?

Does anyone know the average time it's currently taking?

I believe it has been a very long time (summer) since gox was able to send out US withdraws. I have heard that some people have been able to get USB out of gox by requesting a manual wire, but that costs 5%. You're probably better off sending the coins over to Coinbase and doing a withdraw there.

If you're patient, do what I do: Sell on gox, and hold until gox and coinbase's prices are similar and then cash out. I've done this a few times and was able to maximize my money that way.

I am still waiting after 2 mont and 10 days (Christmas and new year in-between). Now news...

From what I have heard, people have been waiting for months for their USD withdrawals.
