Me saying hi, bitcoin transaction taking more then 36 hours.. still in process

[everio]

Hello,

I am 27 from the netherlands. Yesterday i made a transaction from tradehill to virwox. Been more then 36 hours and the transaction is still 'in process' on tradehill. And not showing up on virwox..

It is a large amount of bitcoins.. so i am keen to have it back..

What do i need to do?

[paraipan]

better have used your wallet as proxy, hope you get the funds there

[everio]

What can i do?

Mailed tradehill two times.. Used the same bit coin address again with a small amount and that one is arriving.

Looking op with bit coin blockhecker shows only the small transaction, not the large.

I had similar problem with transferring 100BTC from TradeHill. I wrote him after a day of waiting and got this reply:

Apologies about the delay. Our system has an override that occurs on some BTC withdrawals. Once we research the user activity we can manually approve these!

Then coins went thru in one hour or so. Not sure if this can help you.

let me get this straight, you sent your funds directly from one exchange to another, tradehill to virwox, 3 days ago and it doesn't show up ?

edit: contact them asap like slush said

[everio]

yes.. wel tradehill to virwox because virwox has better payout methods..

But not 3 days.. 36 hours.. 1,5 day..

Mailed them twice.. Amount is 'reserved' as status in my account..

[slush]

But he said there's pending transaction on tradehill side. So I'm expecting same issue like I had.

Are you sure that Tradehill hasn't already sent them/  The blockchain will show so:

think you're right, i didn't understand what OP tried to say at first

[everio]

they just answered.. the transaction is under review due to its nature and amount.. i mailed them back with what information they need.

What to do?

They are probably forced to comply with Anti Money Laundering (AML) laws, thus the need for your personal information.

[everio]

Are you sure?

They asked me for a clarification which i gave.. they didn't asked for personal details which i rather not give.

Besides that i am EU based, so does i get involved with US laws? I thought bitcoins where independent.. no central jurisdiction so why should they need my details?

The bitcoins are honest, no fraud or money laundering. However is it traceable? To its origin?

if you refer to the actual coins, yes they are, that's why the system is pseudonymous, you may choose to link to your legal identity if you want but not forced to do so

[Flyers66]

good luck man. I hope all goes well it would suck to loose the bitcoins

[Gabi]

It's weird...

because the exchaneg is placed in a contry where they are forced to comply with these laws.

[everio]

Well..

I thought that if i transfer bitcoins from one user to another the bitcoins wouldnt be linked anymore to a bitcoin address. Just to be more anonymous..

So i mailed them because it still was in process. They asked me to clarify the relation between the two users. One is mine girlfriend.. I did what they asked, it is now more then 36 hours ago since i last received an email from them..

I dont know what to do, what to expect.. I am slowly starting to think i lost these bitcoins

Guys advice?

WTF, how could they ask these question?

maybe you should wait until you've done something and then continue to the next thing. You mailed them while in process ? My advice would be... don't think, you scare us How much bitcoins you talking ?

[everio]

No, i placed the thread same time i had mailed them.. They mailedme within 12 hours.. 2 times in half an hour..

Last mail is almost 48 hours ago.. Ill think ill send them a mail later today.. Now a bitcless nice.. We are talking here about 2300 bitcoins which i already lost 30 cent on per bitcoin..

People more suggestions?
