No.

MtGox always gave me a txid which I could track, and after 2 hours I got to see all the details of the stuck transaction.

Yes, absolutely.  A trackable txid beats "Finished".

Not long, because I didn't withdraw any until people started selling BTC on MtGox at a discount.  Other people with some exceptions, waited up to a week.

Not sure.  Please quote or add more context.

Probably because you are reading the MtGox withdrawal delays [Gathering] thread, not one of the Bitstamp threads.  There are a lot of complaints on IRC and Reddit as well.

@sturle
I have read bitstamp thread and there is only you complaining of not geting btc back credited. Otherwise users would make a new thread what were similar to thousands of stuck transactions what mtgox had.

Bitstamp only has two reports for btc withdraw: pending and finished. Those with finished will have their btc back. However, due recent events they go trough scrutiny to avoid ripoff attempt. What is a smart move on their part, i wish mtgox were smarter reagarding this,so  there is no difference how both exchange give status of the withdraw,however mtgox had thousands stuck transactions and continue to allow it for more then 20 days. You really can not compare bitstamp and mtgox how they handle things not to mention huge backlog in support what mtgox has vs bitstamp.
On bitstamp account history there is enough information to find out is your transaction in blockchain or not. So not really a difference in my opinion.
Other then that iam aware of topic in this thread but you complain about bitstamp here as well anywhere you can whatbseem to be biased towards mtgox.
I think i was clear about other questions and dont know what context to add it. So i will consider it as you do not want to answer ( at this time).

Edit
Finally, i do not accuse you of being mtgox shill or to have insider information. I see you on irc and read yourbpost in other threads.
I just think that is wrong to be so supportive of mtgox and never complain, but you do to other exchange which are working just fine and fix their issues promp manner.

Possibly.  Did you notice the $50 price increase on MtGox which was ignited minutes after I posted my two selected quotes above?  The rally started on MtGox, and the reaction on other exchanges were limited.  Could be a coincidence of course.  In this case my quotes were easy to verify (but if this caused the price increase, the reaction was so fast I doubt the first buyers did).  A private conversation is impossible to verify, of course, and the official sources would be silent.  (As usual.)

I think you will find the only exchanges who have failed this week are the ones who don't do their accounting properly.
there are exchanges which have been unaffected.

of course its criminal not halting the exchanges, if they are not able to fullfill their purpose anymore !

the income - stream of fees and insider trader has to be cut off until the service is fully fixed !

problem is that there isn´t even a fax - number available to start a legal ToS fullfillment request and enforcement...

or does anybody know where to look it up ?

Sturle, there is a reason why mtgox was first in the attack, they did not have thir custom wallet updated and had 2 system bugs.
Gox basicaly had a attack/exploit invite! Other exchange was not attacked and of course with recent ddos attack they will make sure to fix eventual issues.
Gox with publishing maneabillity made things worst as now other people with bad itention whatever that might be, and who was not behind gox attack know about it, and do all recent and current attacks to whole bitcoin comunity.

cancel withdrawal to buy cheap BTC to sell in another market.
Anyway....i would also like to know the last processed SEPA

@ igorr
Not related to mtgox, take it to appropiate thread.

I heard today on irc by delirium that sepa now take 4 weeks, although some report 6 weeks waiting time and counting.

Fax!?  The year is 2014 now, not 1994.

MtGox has e-mail and snailmail addresses published on their website.  I don't think Bitstamp or BTC-E have published a fax number either.  You are going to sue them as well, right?  None of them have suspended trading after halting bitcoin withdrawals.


They will probably claim this is an unforeseen network issue.  I don't see any mention in their ToS allowing them to shut down trading when bitcoin or bank transfers are impossible.  Perhaps you can guide me to it?
