Bitstamp, if you are not American, is not the easiest place to get USD in and out of last time I checked it out.
The fees for the international transfers were pretty high as well, if I recollect correctly.

It used to be good for the UK via transfer wise but now...well who the fuck knows.
I have to agree that during that last sell off it was hard to get any trading done, made a bit of money from it but the need to continuously refresh wasn't ideal, the price just moves so quickly due to the low volumes you really have to catch it at the right time. I refuse to use MtCox though so it is something I personally have to deal with for now.

Impossible to sell on Bitstamp at the moment because people keep dumping at stupidly low prices 
April 25, 2013, 04:27:11 PM
NOT TO HATE ONE MY Own exchange but it does have a problem loading when masses of people try to buy or sell like the on the dip that just occurred. for themost part it was fine but once or twice i did have to reload the page. wish it would just run supper smooth. still in the early stages of this whole thing so we will get there.

Not sure what is going on, but the differences are obviously just down to the market volume, BTS is much much smaller comparatively to MTGx. But it is really interesting how someone doesn't just move in to BTS with fiat and buy through all of the walls, which is so so so easy compared to MTGx, but then again this would mean that these coins have to be for sale on the exchange in the first place I guess. This may then be seen by other un-experinced users and trigger other exchanges into this price range as well. Although I guess I just answered my own question.

Bitcoinity not live updating BTS prices?
just noticed that too. only gox is working for me and even that will go out. hummmm.
April 25, 2013, 01:02:10 PM
its strange how the walls at bitstamp and the walls at gox are not the same. big walls too, like the one at 170 over 3000 coins to get there

mie sperling haz neavier ben sow gud.
Thanks though i need to get it under control

Hmm maybe you should be questioning that then, the highs on charts/order books etc. haven't even registered an error or anything to that level so how can they not knowledge the problem.
April 25, 2013, 11:24:38 AM
They gave me a price *over* $170 on a buy minutes ago. This was obviously a bad fill but they refuse to acknowledge it.

Yeah must be nice having Btinstant as an option no such luck in the UK.
Not much wall observing going on in here and as it is ''second biggest and best exchange'' thought we should actually include some. Although compared to the number of users on MtG it does question even further how useful the wall images are for BtStmp. Only 568ish to be sold to get to 160 but over there it is just over 3k.
Anyway, someone if we go by this, doesn't want it above 170 any time soon...

the price difference was due to bitinstant temporarily disabling bitstamp transfers. now that they are enabled again, arbitrage is much easier and the prices are much closer.
That's nice if you can use bitinstant.
April 25, 2013, 08:17:52 AM
agreed! the price is 131.88 and the price on gox is 137.12 
WOW that is a good amount of spread, maybe even enough to get the arbitrator to make money of if it.

The trick with arbitration is you need to move the FIAT somehow. Doing a SEPA withdraw from Bitstamp, then sepa transfer to gox, isn't much of arbitration. You need to keep a lot of money and coins on both exchanges. I'm sure someone is doing it, but.....
I thought I'd try my hand it arbitrage. It was easy! Buy at Bitstamp and sell at MtGox. Until all my fiat is at MtGox. Now what? Maybe if I wait long enough it will switch around. Looking at prices a week or more ago it was often the other way around, but for the last week it has been strictly mtGox > Bitstamp.
