what were the amounts?

I was chatting with two members of Gox support earlier. They said there will be an announcement today (sorry i don't have a screenshot). I asked them was it bad news i.e. exchange closing / liquidity problems. They said no, not at all, they just needed people to be patient.

They said it was a 100% technical issue, a "dust problem" whatever that means.

I asked if Mark K could reproduce the "trick" he did one other time to prove they were solvent i.e. move a heap of BTC between two internal wallets so we know they have the coins. The support guy didn't commit to doing it but said it would be raised with Mark K.

I guess we can only wait and see.

Gox will be releasing a statement later today regarding btc withdrawal delays

yes i withdrew a small amount y'day which arrived right away, BUT im still waiting on 87 BTC from Saturday. I will keep you guys updated on how i go today.

I reckon things will be fine, withdrawals seem to be working again. If you panic now, you're going crystallize your loss.

Just got a BTC withdrawal from Mt Gox (0.7 btc). It only took 15 mins. Still waiting on one more from Saturday.

I've been waiting from saturday!!

Just got this message from support:

Dear Valued customer,

Thank you for your email and sincere apologies for the delay.

Due to a technical issue this weekend we broadcast again every transaction to Bitcoin Network but it take sometimes for the network to spread the change. Our developers are actively on a solution to speed up the process but it may take up to 48h to fix the issue.

We sincerely apologies for the inconveniences.

Best regards,

MtGox Team

What do people think? Is it legit?

the number of failed transaction dropped from approx 770 to 429, so fingers crossed, this isn't anything serious.
