A payee from MtGox shared his experience: “The website was having technical issues a few days ago. I’m pretty sure they updated the charts and now everyone can see the same updated information in their charts. I don’t think this gets us any closer to getting paid. Maybe they’re getting emails about the chart.” “I’m guessing they got tired of answering and fixed the problem so people would stop asking.”
