So has anyone had their account "verified" by MtGox?
I would feel better if MtGox would just say that we have 60k accounts, only 15k of those accounts were active at the time of the crash, 5k of those accounts have started the verification process and we have actually verified 1,245 of the accounts. Verification is going much slower than we expected, we will bring the exchange back on line when we verify 2,000 accounts. We will post the updated stats of how many accounts are verified once a day.
If we had a message such as this, I would be content to wait a bit, but until I hear that someone, anyone, has been notified that their account has been verified, I will be suspicious that none ever will be and that the exchange will never open again.
This would of course suck, and since this is unregulated and there are no legal agreements between users of MtGox and MtGox, it will be too bad, so sad, but at least if it fails, we can move on. I would just like to know if it is going to fail or if there is any real reason for hope.
Edit: 6/24/2011 06:23 I have been notified that my account has been verified. Good news!
