Are you buying gox coins or selling?

I did it yesterday several times, all worked.

Dear MtGox Customers,

In our efforts to resolve the issue being encountered by various bitcoin withdrawals, it was determined that the increase in the flow of withdrawal requests has hindered our efforts on a technical level. To understand the issue thoroughly, the system needs to be in a static state.

In order for our team to resolve the withdrawal issue it is necessary for a temporarily pause on all withdrawal requests to obtain a clear technical view of the current processes.

We apologize for the sudden short notice. All bitcoin withdrawal requests will be on pause, and the withdrawals in the system will be returned to your MtGox wallet and can be reinitiated once the issue is resolved. The trading platform will perform as usual for the needs of our customers. 



Trading engine and Wallet angine are two seperated systems. So its not very surprising that one keeps running while the other is stopped.

I see, but my point is that any trade implies moving btc between different addresses, so the resulting system is far from static

MtGox are very open about their SEPA delays and the reason for the delays.  Last time I heard they were processing SEPA withdrawals from January 1st.  If people have been as busy withdrawing via SEPA as via domestic JPY during the new year holidays, it will take about four days to process each day of SEPA withdrawals due to the daily limit (which has been confirmed by their bank).  We may not be further than to the 3rd at the end of next week.  I am hoping for better progress than that, of course.  I have one confirmed since January 4th myself.

Anyone has information about the legal actions that can be taken against Gox for this inconvenience?

monday is going to be one hell of a day.

Hi manipulator.  Where is your apology signed by your mother?

You miss completely, btw.  Read here for my definition of an useful idiot.
