I'm glad you are happy. Now, all we have to solve is why mintpal isn't processing withdrawals.
WHOOOPS ... sorry to hear that, but if I were to venture a guess, it would probably be that they are inundated with withdrawal requests.
Especially BTC
I made a huge withdrawal just to be safe (it will go back as needed), had no issues whatsoever. And I expected many problems, but nodda one.
Good luck.
If there's a run on the bank, we could expect a memo telling us operations have slowed or stopped.
