Solution: use bitcoin the way it was meant to be: without 3rd party *anything*...
we need this:
The new altcoins have been hogging all the fun new toys, and it's time we showed you can teach an old(ish) doge new tricks...
CATE (Cross-chain Atomic Trading Engine) is a bridging application that sits between any two Bitcoin Core 0.9+ derived clients (although only tested with Bitcoin and Dogecoin so far) and enables transactions between the two blockchains. Testing is ongoing, and right now it's really only intended for developer use/experiments, but the basics all work, and you can see the code right now at https://github.com/rnicoll/cate
Immediate priorities are improved documentation, further testing (especially AuxPoW blocks), producing a specific intermediary library to add altcoin support to python-bitcoinlib (instead of just using a fork of that library), and giving it a half-decent UI, but the code's far enough along for others to start poking at it now.
You can read up on the theory of how this works at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Atomic_cross-chain_trading

this sucks.
There's still an option that the address belongs to bitstamp and these are all bitstamp withdrawals. I personally hope so.

That's always a problem with centralized exchanges, you never know what is happening behind the scene, everything that published could be a make-up story
The problem is people's mindset has not changed to decentralized way of thinking, they usually seek a centralized organization for security and convenience, and this behavior might not change in generations

yes, it is an honest announcement BUT the problem remains. Bitcoin price will go down and many people will lose a lot of money today.
The China market will react tomorrow when a lot of chineses will sell

Bitstamp Service Temporarily Suspended
We have reason to believe that one of Bitstamp’s operational wallets was compromised on January 4th, 2015.
As a security precaution against compromises Bitstamp only maintains a small fraction of customer bitcoins in online systems. Bitstamp maintains more than enough offline reserves to cover the compromised bitcoins.
IN THE MEANTIME, PLEASE DO NOT MAKE DEPOSITS TO PREVIOUSLY ISSUED BITCOIN DEPOSIT ADDRESSES. THEY CANNOT BE HONORED!
Customer deposits made prior to January 5th, 2015 9:00 UTC are fully covered by Bitstamp’s reserves. Deposits made to newly issued addresses provided after January 5th, 2015 9:00 UTC can be honored.
Bitstamp takes our security and soundness very seriously. In an excess of caution, we are suspending service as we continue to investigate. We will return to service and amend our security measures as appropriate.
Bitstamp Team
Seems fine to me
They are handling this incident good im happy with them still
im happy with them stillyeap but many people will still lose a lot of money from the Bitcoin depreciation.

im happy with them still I like bitcoin but believe it is dying and will be worthless. The reason is that there is ZERO security, ZERO public knowledge, ZERO advertising and ZERO good news. Combine this with Apple Pay whom basically took the btc idea and ran with it. Forget the "fiat" currency BS. The losses that the masses of btc owners have incurred over the last year would take eternity to recover. Too many scammers and with the cost of electricity and difficulty and ZERO profits, the entire attraction of btc is GONE. All the cloud miners are worthless. It's has more signs of a demise than any currency or commodity out there. I am cashing out and hitting the small cap miners.
Stop with the FUD. Bitcoin is not bitstamp or mtgox etc.
and it seems they have a problem with their bank account too....
