SCAM ALERT !!!!!
BitGold is completely scam.... I had an account with them and my friend sent $850 to my account to redeem it as he has no bank account to redeem the funds, my balance became $850 and every thing was great..... Then i tried to link my bank account to my BitGold account to redeem these funds, After 1 hour they disabled my account !!!!!!!!!!!! I sent them 4 support message to know what is wrong but NO ANSWER !!!!!!!! After 3 days they sent me this funny mail:
"Your account has been suspended in connection with the distribution of fraudulently obtained funds. The funds have been returned to the original cardholder and your account will remain suspended.
Thank you!
Kind regards,

Of course this is the same email which they send to all victims considering that they got their gold using Credit Card but in my case i don't use any Credit Cards, these funds was sent to me as i told you before !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO BE ATTENTION ...... BitGold is completely SCAM

it is pretty smart what they did, they made the threshold to withdraw high so very few people would ever try to have their "gold" sent to them, plus their "storage" service was free so assuming they are a legit company, it would make sense for their customers to not try to have their gold sent to them.

It feels like deja vu, I recall so many scam companies doing this.  I remember people falling for get-paid-to-real emails, $20 bucks an email, minimum withdraw $10,000.  lol!

So, why do you posts here? Get lost.

I have a little over $300 AUD stored on BitGold from referrals. I have to wait 60 days to actually gain the gold, although I'm becoming skeptical over the 0.5 bonus.
There is no way a company can waste that much money for so little people.

I haven't heard of even one person successfully redeeming a significant amount of gold from bitgold despite the fact they've been around for awhile now.

One of the main points of Bitcoin is that it's decentralized, bitgold is clearly very centralized since they can freeze funds at will, which defeats the purpose.

No, these funds was transferred to my friend from another user as a part of online trading !!!!!! the funds remains at my friend balance for about 1 month before he sent it to me !!!

thats what i said too !! i have had no problem with them so far at all with everything including bonus gold and withdraw

I hope more people share their opinion.  I'm planning on buying at least 30k worth of shares on the tsx venture when market opens monday.  Looks like Bitgold is the future.  I been getting bored with this Bitcoin community which has been becoming nothing more than a flaming technical fart.  Even Ethereum foundation is better than bitcoin.  I can't see bitcoin being relevant for more than 1-2 more years with all this poop flying.  It's been nothing but downhill since it's high in the $1300 range, now it's less than $300 and the communities attitude is very poor..
