Post by: S4mH41n on October 24, 2012, 05:41 pm
Hey guys,
im new here and tried to acquire some btc in the last few days and give it a shot with virwox. I send them some money which showed up in my account converted to
SLL and then btc. Ended up with some  sll left and a few btc. Then i wanted to transfer to torwallet but the order said blabla manual step has to be done to transfer"
FAQ said happens sometimes on new accounts so i waited a couple of days, still no btc and when logging in it says acc disabled. lol wtf.... wasnt much money just wanted to check how the process works.. Was my first and last time i will transfer money to them and wrote an email whats this about but im expecting not much of them...

Hi mate,

I registered on the forum as I have exactly the same problem as you and looking for some answers. Was wondering if this issue got solved?

Has anyone else had this issue with VirWox or have any idea as to why they might be blocking accounts like this? I sent them an email regarding this issue but haven't obtained a response since.

Also, checked my address on blockexplorer and it detected no transactions. Any help appreciated.

i've had issues with virwox before where it would take days to transfer to a bitcoin address. i finally just stopped using them all together and started using mtgox.

It took a few days to transfer the bitcoin to my wallet but I got them. Unless I did something wrong, their fees are super high. Out of a $52 transaction. I got 30 bux in bitcoin and 9 dollars USD. I don't like that you can only buy whole bitcoins and no fractions.
