call the police....wait....mail to support first  Wink

Haha, nice one.

Others already said all the important parts, I'll just summarize it one more time: The procedure on Bitstamp appears to be:

1) user withdrawal request,

leading to:

2) email confirmation,

leading to:

3) clearing of withdrawal. if withdrawn amount is "large", it might require manual clearing by Bitstamp employee, which can take a few hours, if amount
is small, clearing appears to be automatic.

followed by:

4) transaction going out, once enough withdrawals are collected (probably done so Bitstamp doesn't have to pay fees for each tiny transaction they send out)

By the looks of it, for some reason, the step between 1) and 2) got interrupted. Write to support (from within your account, i.e. when you're logged in), they should fix it in less than a day, unless there's some other problem (like, your account identification wasn't done properly).


my impression is that email confirmation has to be done from the same device that is used to visit bitstamps website. 

That would make a lot of sense as a (slightly annoying, but not completely unreasonable) safe guard against someone else "confirming" a withdrawal.

so it is a feature, not a bug.... Cheesy

Your title is misleading me, which made me think Bitstamp has some problems.

Be aware that it can sometimes take more than an hour before a withdrawal is sent as Bitstamp likes to bundle several transactions together to save on transaction fees.

When people encounter such kind of problems, they will be panic to look for any possible way to solve the problem. I thought OP has received his withdrawal. This is great community and every one here is keen to help.

Maybe you have 1 btc, not 10 btc?  Grin

If you have email confirmation then it must be a bug/error in system which caused refusing transaction.

Contacting support should solve it.
