I'm sure they uncorked some champagne and had a helluva party when BJ left.

LOL you talked me into it, but I'm still a buyer at $645.

Gyft took care of it and refunded.

At this rate Jorge's Slumber prediction is close to being on point.

Stop spamming!

bad choice

flagpole pole is targeting 730+, and thats just the beginning.

keep your coins safe and wait for my go.

Ok thank you. I checked the adress and it is correct. I just tried it again. Also my Blockchain.info Adroid App says "failed to connect to the Server". Maybe some Blockchain problems?

I grew up in Estonia during the time it was occupied by USSR and that was basically a battleground for different propaganda coming from the west and from the east. Back then, USSR was the one that created these ridiculous lies that no one except themselves believed and western propaganda was built with appreciably better quality. Now I see that the western side is actually saying things that are very hard to believe if you have half a brain and east is actually making more sense. Funny how things change..
What worries me is that currently I see a lot of organized incitement at the Estonian forums and news commentaries. Someone really wants that the Estonians and Russians, that both live here, wouldn't get along with each other.. There have been previous attempts to create larger conflicts that have failed, because people have kept a cool head. I sure hope that we don't see another Ukraine here, where foreign funded groups and billionaire bankers take over the government to get busy signing contracts for extraction of shale gas. I would like that out tap water doesn't burn in the future

Europe already had their Nazis.  America hasn't had a chance to binge and purge yet.  Blood will flow eventually.

I don't trust these opaque exchanges! I pay an outrageous 2% plus spread to Coinbase for every sell/buyback and I can't even do a simple f#cking limit order. Second Market wants to play New York Bitcoin Exchange and they don't have a single goddam broker I can use. Kraken needs to get crackin' if they want to be the Charles Schwabb of BTC.

I'm a buyer at $645 and a seller over $695 until the weekend or until the next breakout, whichever comes first.

good choice

same as any BTC transfer, instantly, then ~1 hour  for 6 confirmations

you can import the private key in a bitcoinQt client, or import it to a blockchina.info wallet.

yes, its the same as any other bitcoin address, just that the private key only exists on paper.

you sure you have the right address? if you type in the address incorrectly the checksum will fail. once you are sure the problem is not user error, contact support.

I didn't receive any phishing emails.

(German article. Basically, coins are treated as a "private form of currency", and are subject to income tax, unless held for more than 1 year). Which means that as long as Germany gets taxes on it, they're not in a hurry to ban it.

And since we all know that good old Deutschland runs the EU, that's pretty good news

December last year.

Second, when closing down these exchanges with money from consumers/civillians they would get a fuck load of angry people upon them. I mean hellfire.

wait for it:

I do agree with you, I'm not in the US so definately can relate to the not trusting the US bit. To be honest though I shouldn't have really put US based exchange I should have just put proffesional, insured and written by people who know what they're doing. That represents my point a lot clearer.

Bitstamp is a UK business anyway 

I´m safing my Bitcoins on a paper wallet now and am a total noob. Can I ask here some questions?

How long does it take to transfer the coins from Bitstamp to the Paper Wallet? I just made a test transfer 15 minutes ago and am still waiting.

How can I get my Coins from the Paper Wallet to bitstamp again?

And if I am correct, I can check my BTC Amount on the Paper Wallet on blockchain.info when I write my Bitcoin adress there?

EDIT: Bitstamp says trasfer failed?

Of course the EU is where we saw a mandatory bail-in of depositors' funds so who knows what could happen in a given jurisdiction if SHTF.

while some of you think that Bitstamp employees are not "qualified" I can add this, Nejc Kodric the CEO and founder is not an IT guy,  he has Economics Management college degree, while the Top IT programmers behind the system are leaded by Damian Merlak also a qualified person.

I can also share few information you may not know allot about Bitstamp, last year (mid year) when I visited their offices they had around 7 employees (or so), not long ago when I talked with Nejc he told me they had more than 15 and quickly expanding, and now I know that they are recruiting even more and I also know that they are looking only for high potential and talented employees.

there is also Hazek the moderator on this forum for economics and general discussion, he is the leader of the support team.

Bitcoin did raise so fast, in fact explode is the right word, big companies like Bitstamp are in a race with this growth, if you think that banks or economical companies can do better than most businesses around, I can tell you that you are wrong, this guys that run bitstamp have many developers that were around Bitcoin since 2010, so if you think that a monkey who works at a bank would understand better than someone writing code around bitcoin since 2010 you are so wrong.

I like that Nejc is not an IT guy and he is involved in management and Economics, I also like his approaching, by hiring professionals the second his exchange started taking off.


this wont be easy time for bitstamp, now they have a huge growth opportunity after gox death, and they have to explode at the same rate Bitcoin is doing, this is why I was applying for job, and BTW this is why I sent my resignation letter even if they didnt have a meeting with me or accept my application, and even if they dont, I am sure that I can add something to this community.


  

I agree with your main point (current exchanges are target for the next generation of more professional ones), but I really think you underestimate the reputation hit the US has taken in recent years. From arbitrary "anti terror" laws, to a pretty ambivalent stance (in my view) to Bitcoin as a whole, I personally would be, given the current climate, extremely unlikely to put my money into an US exchange. Not that I'm stoked about Slovenia either, but right now, I have (from a political point of view) more confidence that the EU won't arbitrarily decide to seize all assets of a properly run exchange* because of some fake anti-terror/anti-drug reasoning when compared to the US.

* "properly run" is, I'm well aware, a fuzzy term. My point is that I see the US as more aggressive in pursuing AML than the EU, on average.
