I certainly won't touch a US-based bitcoin exchange ever. Until the trust factor has been built up over time.

So, where do you trade at if not Bitfloor or MtGox (which is moving US portion into US)?

Bitstamp, Bitcoin.de, BTC-e, etc I assume.

I am shocked, SHOCKED to hear that people are having their money seized by Bitfloor once again.

What money seized?  bitfloor has paid out BTC withdraw requests and has paid out ACH withdraw requests yesterday.  We will see in 48 hours if they are paying out current ACH withdraw requests.

So what seized money are you talking about?

How about the money you gained at my expense by getting a preferential payout from the last 'hack'?

When I tried to sell to a third party Roman specifically intervened and said that BTC owed were not transferable.  Yet you were able to sell your bad debt off.

No wonder you are such a fan of this failed business.
Josh;
I am not sure you should be calling anyone a liar.   Are you too busy shipping product to your disappointed customers to be on here?   Or, did you finish all your shipping last week?   Or do you only ship NEXT WEEK?
You are a real POS.


Stop spreading lies.  I transferred rights to the debt but the balance is still on my account.  Roman didn't help, he told me the exact smae thing (a mistake IMHO).  When bitfloor makes a payment, it posts to my account,  I contact the buyer and forward the funds to him.  You could have done the exact same thing, nothing prevented you.  The fact that you lack imagination falls on you nobody else.

Keep your slander to yourself.  Of course this has nothing to do with your current lie/FUD.  Nothing has been seized by bitfloor.  BTC withdrawals have been paid.  ACH withdrawals are in progress.

Entropy lying?  I am SHOCKED!  SHOCKED I SAY!  It's not like he doesn't have a history of it or anything...

But anyway... what happens to the debut that's till owed?  I have some active BTC in my account, I expect it will be paid out.. but what about the 288 BTC that's still on "hold" ?  Goes poof I assume?

Oh! You think that no one was able to pull their debt Bitcoin out, but DeathAndTaxes got preferential treatment and Bitfloor allowed him to pull his portion of the stolen coins out?
Yeah, trust me, that's not what happened. Bitfloor did not give any special treatment to anyone.

Months later; what is the feeling about Bitfloor now?
I use Bitfloor, but my money never stays on the exchange for more than the few minutes it takes between when the LocalTill deposit clears, I execute a market order, and withdraw bitcoins to my own wallet.
This is why.

Not to single out Bitfloor though. This is the same policy I use for any exchange.

From http://BitFloor.com:

Quote
All trading is currently suspended.

I am sorry to announce that due to circumstances outside of our control BitFloor must cease all trading operations indefinitely. Unfortunately, our US bank account is scheduled to be closed and we can no longer provide the same level of USD deposits and withdrawals as we have in the past. As such, I have made the decision to halt operations and return all funds.

Over the next days we will be working with all clients to ensure that everyone receives their funds. Please be patient as we process your request.

There is the following message on the announcement banner at BitFloor:

Trading will be suspended at 6 PM EST on 2013.04.17. We ask that all users finish any trades they wish to complete and cancel any open trades.



Seems oddly vague.  Suspended indefinitely?  For 12 hours?  Is this a server upgrade, or what?

Seems their bank account was closed and they will be suspending operations until they can get a new one.

FYI:

If you are coordinating a DDoS attack, please remember that bitcoin companies are not giant multinationals with huge support staff and computers. We are all involved because we want to see bitcoin succeed.

Thoughtful of Roman to have this status page, but this does not help when they give no indication as to when they last updated the status.

Was it a week ago? Yesterday? 10 minutes ago? 1 month ago? 1 year?

might be time to change the OP title ... "Bitcoin needs bitfloor's help!"
I do not know if Bitcoin can take another "theft" of people's bitcoins by people who just dump the proceeds of their theft and drive the price lower.

Sure it can. It's happened many times before, what's one more?
(Who's money got stolen this time?)

In addition, I don't see any evidence that dumping ill-gotten bitcoins is what's causing the falling exchange rate.
You misunderstood me (or I was not clear, same effect).   Someone made the statement that BITCOIN needs Bitfloor to save it.   My comment was we do not need another Bitfloor "security" screwup putting MORE bitcoins on the sell side of this market.
