Title: prolblems accessing mtgox via tor?
Post by: mileschris on June 19, 2011, 04:31 pm
Guys,

I'm having an issue accessing MtGox via tor. I tried logging in several times yesterday, but apparently my password was incorrect. Anyway, after my final attempt I got this message: "Too many failure from your IP, temporarly blocked." I CAN access my account just fine without tor, but using tor I get that message every time, and it's been going on for about 24 hours. I've used the "use a new identity" button from the Vidalia control panel, but it doesn't change a thing.

Any ideas?

If I decide to move BTC from MtGox to a site (for example SR) WITHOUT tor and WITHOUT my ISP (I'd possibly do it from a wi-fi hotspot), would I be putting myself at risk?

This happens sometimes.  It should go away after a couple of days.  Otherwise you could keep trying new identities hoping to get lucky.

Thanks for the info, stormbreeze. Guess I'm in wait-and-see mode.

Thanks, mileschris, for mentioning this problem!  I was considering using them to store some of my funds -- not wanting to leave all my eggs in one basket -- but no longer.  The Google captcha page nightmare (https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#GoogleCaptcha) convinced me to switch search engines; playing games like that where money is involved would be even worse.

but same as for mtgox also applies for other services like it.

Totally coincidental, but I actually transferred my BTC at MtGox about six hours before the hack.
