Lets get our bitcoins out of Mtgox

[Autobansux]

Mtgox has pretty much said "we're going going to hold on to your bitcoins until pigs fly"

Is there anything we can practically do to get our btc back without resorting to selling and taking a chance on fiat withdrawals?

1. Class action suit somewhere?
2. File a complaint with the Japanese authorities?
3. anything at all?

thanks.

Just take fiat and buy from bitstamp.

dont hold btc/fiat on an online exchange would be the first step.

Those of us who got stung by the whole bitconica debacle know that if MtGox wants to keep your bitcoins, they will, and there's basically nothing you can do about it.  So, just a reminder to everyone, MtGox is still holding 10s of thousands of bitconica bitcoins hostage...and that happened in early 2012.

What kind of contribution is this? Assets are already locked, so why state the obvious like this which adds nothing to the conversion?

More on topic though, I'm also interested in this information. Anyone aware of anything that might already be in motion?

It's for people who haven't yet been burned to learn from the mistakes of others.

If you aren't the sole controller of your private keys, you don't have any bitcoins.

If you cannot wait, this might be interesting.

That's fine, if the question posed was "how can I avoid having this happen to me in the future?" Except, the question was "Is there anything we can practically do to get our btc back without resorting to selling and taking a chance on fiat withdrawals?"
