Lol, just withdraw it, I don't know what all the fuss is.



Based on BofA's past actions, we can make an educated guess that Roman received 30 days notice that his account would be closed, with no reason given. He has plenty of time to honor ACHs. In case anyone is in isolation or on an extended vacation, still no problem because when they get back and find out what happen, BoA would have sent Roman the remaining balance in a cashier's check, Roman would have found a new bank account, and vacation-dude would log on and ACH his money out like nothing happened.



Fortunately we live in a world where banks that close accounts don't also steal all the money in the accounts. For now.

who wants to wait a week+ to get USD in bank, then wait another week to get it back onto another exchange? what the hell are you talking about. its obivous you are a bitfloor apologist. i am not anti-bitfloor, i liked them very much and recommended them often. i understand if they wanted to stagger the emails, but at least make sure that ALL customers receive the emails in time to actually make a decision before you close down the market. that just screams shadywho wants to wait a week+ to get USD in bank, then wait another week to get it back onto another exchange? what the hell are you talking about. its obivous you are a bitfloor apologist. i am not anti-bitfloor, i liked them very much and recommended them often.

I'm in the exact same boat as you. I had been moving in and out of cash all day and happened to sell all my coins for a while because I thought there would be a buying opportunity coming up. 20 minutes later I noticed all of my asks were snatched up, shortly after was the first time I received any notice from bitfloor and it was the generic "trading will halt at 6".



Now I'm stuck with dollars and no way to readily convert them back into coins. Its totally my fault for not having a backup exchange setup for deposits, but the fact that a group or groups of people were able to trade all day knowing what was going to happen while others like myself assumed it was just another day in volatility-land is pretty fucked up.



I'm not hating on bitfloor for anything in the past and I'm not worried about any funds or coins getting back to their owners in connection with this, but I am pissed that I have to find some way to get back into coins. All I can really do is hope we end up back at $60 by the time that happens.

We prefer to control the hardware, security, and backup procedures ourselves. A service agreement can't recover your data.



I should have clarified I didn't believe his IP was in the headers. I just wanted to correct your statement that only the sender ip was in the headers.



That said, I will now hopefully make you smile so you can just drop the attacks and move on with your life.



fitty, you win the internet



Google apps is free bro, it's more secure then whatever bootleg server you're running in your bedroom.



99.9999% of the planet isn't running a mail server out of their basement. Your IP is not in the headers. You made it seem like it was. 99.9999% of the time it's not. So it's not worth mentioning.

I really don't like the idea of depending on a corporation to keep my data safe.



Thanks for putting more words in my mouth that I never said or intended to convey.



I now retract my statement. I gave you the win, but you're too cocky to just accept it and be happy.

I bought some BTC, sent those to Gox and ACH'ed the rest of my USD back to my account.



Ideal? No. But perfectly understandable--yes. I can still log into my account and process an ACH again if I still had funds. What is the deal people.

Maybe there needs to be a thread with the different exchanges/wallets with pros and cons and their history. I was also unaware that they were hacked before

"""We are asking users to please wait for transactions and ACH verification to be processed before contacting support."""



https://twitter.com/bitfloor



If i was a thief i wouldnt give support after i took the money! So it looks like they were just fucked over by their bank and they are taking steps to get peoples funds back while they search for alternatives or consider just calling it quits. ( i could be wrong but..)

I know we are talking about peoples' money here, and it's easy to be skeptical, but maybe they are just swamped and under pressure and need some time to sort, prepare, try to survive, so they are asking people to be courteous and give em a chance before hitting them with unecessary emails.



The inconveniently timed email is a bit sketch, but maybe not. It would be interesting to know who got the emails first and what they had in their accounts.
