Looks like getting goxed is officially still a thing.

MtGox Lag

We have 24 hour support and there are people watching, the issue has been esculated and will hopefully be resolved as soon as possible
[11:41] SarahCoinBit are you migrating to MIDAS atm and is that causing the outage? Simple yes or no will suffice.

[11:41] <+SarahCoinBit> Boxman90: No. I'm pretty sure it's just ddos

[11:52] <+SarahCoinBit> kanch: We're running a bit slow at the moment, sorry. It's most likely ddos related

Google Earth/Street View shows that address as a small industrial/office unit, and I don't see any sign on the building with Bitstamp written on it either.

What makes you think that the google car photographed that area recently enough for bitstamp to exist?

As a UK guy I'm keeping my holdings as a majority on bitstamp cause I trust the UK way more than Japan to get my money back to some degree should this ever happen

And what's the relation between UK and Bitstamp? Huh

Bitstamp is based in Reading, UK

On one hand if Bitstamp ripped me off I could pay them a visit, but on the other hand the Inland Revenue can get hold of information about any trades that I do there. I like the way that the UK and US governments can't touch BTC-e though because it's in Russia

So they moved from Slovenia to UK.

No, of course they didn't.

Bitstamp is registered as a limited company in Reading, UK. I'd be surprised if there's anything more than a PO box with their name on it in that place.

So is this all bullshit? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wwwbitstampnet-bitcoin-exchange-site-for-usdbtc-38711

Well if you look at our site you probably see it is not like some over-the-night designed system running behind worldpress template. You can also clearly see our company info www.bitstamp.net/about_us/ , company is registered in Slovenia and we are all Slovenian citizens so we are obligated to follow strict laws and not hiding behind some Panama or Cyprus offshore companies. We also work with one of the leading banks in the world Unicredit bank.

We are currently working on some cool new features. I will post all new things here so you can be first to test it. We are always open for new ideas.

As I just said, that address is @UK, a company which registers businesses to its own address. They's probably got hundreds of companies registered there.

Forget it, Taxidermista seems to be going full retard at the moment.

It's really pretty simple. Based on publicly available information, Bitstamp Ltd. is:

a) a limited company registered in the UK

b) with, as far as I can tell, all or nearly all of their operations based in Slovenia

c) with a bank account at UniCredit Slovenia.

Conclusion: They are *formally* a UK company, but don't get your hopes up that UK law will help you much if, for some reason, their operations should go belly up. They are *de facto* a Slovenian company.

Disclosure: I do most of my trading at bitstamp.

I don't understand why MtGox don't update their systems already. They've been talking about it for months now.

New servers, new software capable of hundreds of thousands of transactions per second.

Roll it out !

Banking holiday in USA for Veterans Day 11/11

This makes no difference at all. Any wires sent last Friday or Thursday will arrive as normal today.

It just means that new wires won't be sent today so any effect won't be seen until later - like tomorrow or Wednesday.

Not sure it was a DDOS. Gox was doing upgrades I thought. They put that on their news site / blog (forget where but saw it).

And DDOS doesn'T really do much with BTC these days. Really, it just increasing and strengthening it's anti-fragile nature.

Looks like someone didn't cover their weekend shorts. Cheaper to crash Gox.

lol. You really believe someone is trying to sell 10k's of coins, and it just made Gox insta-die?

No. They dumped high at the w/e with a view to buying low, but the price either didn't go low enough (it never hit the presumed target just above the previous ath) or just went up again too quickly, to allow them to buy back.
