So i signed into my mt gox account the other day to withdraw 10 Bitcoins and was greeted with " your account needs to verified to make withdraws"
Being that im still pretty new to bitcoin, i think ok no big deal they will just send me and email ill verify and ill be ok.
As most of you probably know that is not the case. Mt Gox wants and i quote " Your government issued photo ID (passport, permanent residence card or drivers license) " and "A scan of either your monthly utility bill (power, phone, TV, gas, water, etc.) or a certificate of residency issued by your local government."
i have two problems with this.
1. I dont have any of those things except my drivers license and im pretty sure thats not enough
2. Hasn't Mt Gox been "compromised" before? I don't think I would feel very safe sending this type of information to them knowing there "security" is not very tight.
Im very upset about this and about to call my 110 bitcoins a loss not wanting to reveal to much of myself to what seems an almost impossible way to receive my funds.
I guess my last hope is that some kind soul out there can share there experiences with MT gox support team and persuade me to trusting them enough to send them my personal information
oh and by any chance someone from mt gox support team wants to help a newbie get there money back and keep trading on your exchange my request help ticket is number #17309
will update if anything ever happens to the account....
