News bitstamp hacked
The response time delays should clear up, but time is necessary. Who can tell me how many days the bitstamp need to deposit for international wire transfer?
My money wired a week ago over 5 business days , so far "o" balance in my account. The thing is they didn't reply any emails I sent and no one answer the phone International wire takes much longer than normal SEPA days. Be aware that support is currently experiencing high volume of requests from hundreds of thousands of new users. I submitted the docs for verification 6 days back and still the status is pending. Sent an email to support as well and didn't see any action.
Do note that Bitstamp have had new users this week. It may take some time for them to clear the ID verification backlog.
You can't login, getting "aaaaa it's gone" message and the customer service is unresponsive. It doesn't get much scarier then that. Does anyone else experience the same problem just a few days ago? Please share your thoughts. Yeah many of these bitcoin exchange are simply buckling under the huge waves of new users coming in at high trading times. Sometimes you will experience downtime. Be very aware using Bitstamp. Currently they have too many clients resulting in the inability to sell your shares or buy shares in high volume times.
You could lose everything because they don't have enough servers. It happened to me and they sent me an email pretty much saying they could care less. I tried to sell numerous times during a sudden drop and it kept saying error. Finally I guess one went through but an hour later and it sold well below the current stock value. There is no compensation and they take no fault for it.
Thanks for sharing your experience of Bitstamp at high trading times. I have been seeing issues with the trading engine on Kraken, especially during high peak trading, but not on Bitstamp yet.
Has anyone else experienced this? I do agree that BitStamp is seemingly going in too much with their questions. Why should users have to answer whether they also use other exchanges?
It seems less about customers safe and more about grabbing information for free. I appreciate the fact that they follow the rules set by Luxembourg's CSSF, but they should know the limits of what they demand the customers to do. This also seems a bit hypocritical on their part. They want to know as much from their customers, but they were completely silent about the July incident leading to the loss of 19k BTC?
Can anyone please tell me how much time does bitstamp take for international wire withdrawal and apart from the 0. I've been using Bitstamp since I have only good things to say about them. The cash was in my bank account in two days. How long does it take to fund Bitstamp account via international wire transfer? Have you got the answer? I have the same question like you.
I wired money a week ago, so far "o" balance in my account and no email to me even though I sent so many tickets to their support Yeah i'm also going to back this comment up: They've got an easy to use layout, their website is always up and running. I trade approx euro per week and withdraws are ok for me.
Bitstamp has to be one of the best places to buy bitcoin in Europe. That is some nice investment timing there - well done: It's nice to hear such good reviews of Bitstamp. In they hold a large share of the bitcoin trading market and increasingly other cryptocurrencies with thousands of satisfied customers. I've been using Bitstamp for a couple of years. I like and trust Bitstamp and Coinbase, my 2 go-to exchanges.
I'd love analogous articles on Coinbase, Kracken, and Polionex. I detest the "socialist" approaches Bitfinex took to manage their theft and the "haircut" they have everyone on the Bitcoincash conversion. Wow this is great. I never thought that Bitstamp would charge users just for holding crypto in their wallets! Now that I see those excessive verification emails I'm really not going commit any more money to their exchange.
So far I've only traded 5k usd on Bitstamp. The experience has been very good overall and the interface is easy to use as you said even for beginners. Thanks for your feedback. I've tried to remain as balanced as possible throughout this Bitstamp assessment. Don't worry about receiving verification emails until you actually do. As I said above, not everyone gets flagged.
Many people love using Bitstamp for simple trading, I think this is one of its strong points - it's very easy to use. You could even say that Bitstamp is Coinbase's strongest European competitor, tied closely with Kraken. There are fees you mentioned on this article that I've never seen and noticed so far. Monthly fee and dormant fees. Never happened so far and I'm using Bitstamp since 5 months. They might nol longer apply as I found that shocking when reading your article at first and I've eve checked in all my history and compare the balances, nothing hidden.

When incorporating in the United Kingdom, the company approached the UK's Financial Conduct Authority for guidance, but was told that bitcoin was not classed as a currency, so the exchange was not subject to regulation.
In February , the company suspended withdrawals for several days in the face of a distributed denial-of-service. In January , Bitstamp suspended its service after a hack during which less than 19, bitcoins were stolen, [14] reopening nearly a week later. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
There is no clear information available as to where Bitstamp's operations are located or whether they actually have any presence at all in the UK, or are still run out of Slovenia.
