Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
Withdrawal option still not available for BTC 
Or other crypto... In the end I bought LTC and will move to Kraken ASAP.
Withdrawal is open now...just waiting on my e-mail.
No withdrawals yet... Fuck...
Your account is currently on withdrawal hold. All withdrawals will be held in a Pending Approval state until the hold is lifted. The most common triggers of a withdrawal hold are account password changes and the changing of certain security settings. Please contact support@bitfinex.com with questions or concerns. This hold will be lifted at August 13, 2016 14:31.
I recall that when they prompted me to change my password, the notice said that I would not be able to withdraw for 5 days after the change of my password. I believe that every single bitfinex account holder was prompted in such a direction to change their password in order to sign back in.. so built in withdrawal restriction with that.
some 2FAs havent worked. so the users were forced to change it. sow, who does believe that was random ?
and as we can see now, also some of the "working" withdraws are pending...
I thought that they said that based on security measures, they were requiring every account holder to change his/her password - but I don't know if that 5 day withdraw restriction period is automatically applied or if they are still processing withdrawals manually (seems that they may be willing to process withdrawals manually before the 5 day period expires? maybe they are just not saying at this time in order to take advantage of the 5 day restriction that they allowed their system to impose?
ive mentioned it that way:
normal passwort change was mandatory and does not cause a 5 days restriction.
but if you change higer "security measures" which was recommended. than you have to wait.
I think also the 5 days restriction is nothing new, but they havent highlighted that fact before security change recommention .
