I sold my other 800 BTC on July 12 at BitFloor. Granted the market was not as thick as at Mt Gox. But it was thick enough to get my approx 900 BTC total sold. Now, I'll be the guinea pig at BitFloor. On July 13th I requested to withdraw between $6K and $7K from BitFloor to my checking account at an American bank via ACH. Let's see if BitFloor can do better than Mt Gox in terms of withdrawing USD.

You can't win if you don't play. But you can't play if you lose all your chips. First I found bitcoin (BTC). Then I found something better, Monero (XMR). See GetMonero.org

I'm happy to report that the USD were direct deposited from BitFloor to my checking account on July 16th, 2012. Withdrawal from BitFloor requested on Friday and received 3 calendar days later on Monday. That's fast! Watch out Mt Gox. There's a new player in the game and he plays hardball. |

Hopefully that means direct deposit to bank accounts. Although - and nothing personal against MtGox - I think this particular issue is good for bitcoin because it's spreading people out across several other exchanges. It'll be better for the longterm adoption of BTC since it lessens the impact of one exchange site crashing or going down temporarily - not that I think it's as much of a problem as in the past.
MtGox already offers bank wires. There is no possible way to move funds faster in the fiat banking world. MtGox payouts by wire take 14 to 21 days. Kinda hard to see how the slower ACH/Direct Deposit would improve anything. |

USD Withdrawals should be safe, fast and cheap. Bank Wire transfers are safe and fast, but not that cheap. The other issue is how long are withdrawals actually taking from Mt Gox? I know withdrawals via Dwolla are still slow, I just tried it. How are the withdrawal times from Mt Gox via Bank Wire? Things that should be fast aren't. That's the problem.

I realize there's no volume there, but I wonder about an exchange like CampBX, being US-based.. whether it would be faster to Dwolla. I had high hopes for CampBX, but it seems to have fallen to disuse like so many other attempts.

CampBX killed my interest when they started putting a 10second delay on API calls. Horrible way to fix their traffic problem - how about temporarily blacklisting IPs?
Later they said "we reduced the delay time some, come back!" Sorry guys. Provide a real solution with 0 throttling for non-offenders or don't expect me to come back.
Also, BitFloor covers ACH transfers themselves (smart) and CampBX wants to charge a fee. They also offer a significantly lower commission and a liquidity rebate.
Hopefully CampBX takes notice and offers competitive rates and services soon.

I have to say Bitfloor has been pro. #1 of all exchanges so far.
Sure there are things I wish they could add or change but the core (deposit, trade, withdraw) is solid.

I just tried out BitInstant after cashing out some bitcoins on MtGox. I sent money to a PayPal account from a MtGox code (dollars). It was a painless and straightforward process, aside from the 6% processing fee. Funds were in my PayPal account within an hour. There was some delay which I think was because I was a first time user. From PayPal its just 3-4 days to the bank, or instant from an ATM if you have a PayPal debit card.
Thanks BitInstant!

If I'm verified with mtgox and/or dwolla, would it still take weeks to withdraw USD from mtgox to dwolla? This is a problem for the past couple of months, has it been fixed yet?

Yes. Likely 2-3 weeks. To avoid the dwolla delay you could pay extra for a bank wire. If you do that you should have your money in 2-3 weeks. |

Natalie, there was talk of an alternate withdraw method coming soon. Any new updates on that? |
