Quote from: JForce on July 10, 2012, 04:04 pmHey,While depositing GBP funds to a Mt. Gox account through bank transfer it says it'll take from 1-3 days. What's the average time it takes the GBP funds to hit the account? Just wondering as it's the same method as Intersango use but it only takes them about 2 hours.CheersHi JForce,Firstly if I may plug my wares for a moment - I operate a service to people in the UK selling Bitcoins for cash in the mail. Not only is this one of the few safe ways to obtain Bitcoins safely as the initial purchase of Bitcoins can't be traced back to you, but my current turnaround times are less than two days from the time you send the cash to it being in your wallet. Anyway that's my advertising out of the way, on to your question.Although I have deep suspicions about MtGox given they've openly agreed to cooperate with requests from law enforcement, there service does seem to be running more often than Intersango. Funds transfers in the UK take several working days to progress however after complaints from various consumer watchdogs who realised that those of us who work in banks (ha ha!) were effectively getting an interest free loan, a faster payments system was put in place (we already had one in place for businesses named CHAPS but as often happens with private customers they weren't made aware of this).Intersango also boasts that all transactions are checked half an hour. This is because Intersango is a bedroom operation and there turnover only amounts to a few thousand Bitcoins a month, so it is reasonably easy to keep tabs on new transactions. I suspect that MtGox employ batch processing whereby they have their bank generate a CSV sheet of all deposits every 24 hours or so and then import it into their own software - this is just a guess but it's how I would operate such a large exchange.Do bear in mind that by using MtGox it will be possible to link the coins to you and as such at the very least I'd suggest making a cash deposit in one of the quick payment points at Barclays and sending your BTC to Bitcoinfog before buying anything illegal. Of course all these problems disappear when you use cash to buy your coins - I am not just saying this as I want you for a customer, go to one of my rivals by all means , I'm just thinking of your safety! :-)V.
