My test withdrawal of 500 BTS is hanging at "processing" for 6-7 hours now...anybody had any withdrawals of BTS go through?

The challenge is that the single operation is "unbounded" in the number of accounts it would have to credit. If there are 1M people that need to receive the dividend then that single operation could take a very long time to apply and that would disrupt the flow of the network.
Recognizing this as something that would be nice to automate I will think about it. It is not on our current issue list on github though.
So in the Bitshares client, I would need a function that says "issue dividend", I enter the total amount and currency type (ie. BitUSD), then Bitshares blockchain deducts my BitUSD balance etc.., and sends this amount proportionately to all the investors of my "APPLE" asset investor in a single transaction.You can emulate this feature by share dropping on your asset owners if you can identify them.How about this proposal?

These all seem to be describing the same thing, which is the ability the construct a set of transactions that will distribute a pool of assets proportionally among the holders of a specified UIA. Am I correct?
Paying dividend is a challenge in Bitshares UIA because you don't know who is holding the shares.
If there is a new command to list all the accounts that hold specific UIA with owner authentication then dividend is possible.
The owner will create another UIA like bitDividend and make a share dropping or pay bitUSD directly.
You can emulate this feature by share dropping on your asset owners if you can identify them.
In addition, a different way of providing a similar feature is to offer a buy back price for your asset which reflects your profits - so you buy back higher than you sold.
Please describe the feature; I don't think I am familiar with this.
How can they re-enable trading without reimbursing all customers who lost funds first?
It seems that re-enabling trading is their only hope of creating some funds with which to pay back customer losses.
Its unclear whether they lost all their BTC or just a significant portion of it. If they lost say, 50% of their BTC, then they could put the other 50% of BTC back into customer accounts after repairing the security flaws, and allow trading/withdrawals.
I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be acceptable for the vast majority of users. Isn't it quite likely disgruntled users will form a class action lawsuit against them, forcing them to sell off their assets to cover their customer's losses?

Edit: added 'quotes'
Altcoins yes. What about Bitcoins?
