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.

Your sincerely,
Nejc Kodric

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.

DDDOS

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.

How can it be that their trading engine has been down for more than 2 hours now?!
And no communication ... no message on their website ... nothing!

Their bank is in Slovenia (probably favourable banking laws vs uk and usa) but they're a UK company.

They are a UK company NOW.

...you can also clearly see our company info www.bitstamp.net/about_us/ , company is registered in Slovenia and we are all Slovenian citizens

And what is your point exactly I was just saying SINCE they're a UK company NOW is obviously implied I feel more comfortable holding my stuff there

Huh


You said they didn't move from Slovenia to UK, that's not true. And I still don't believe they are a UK company.

In April, Gox had most of the volume. So it was reasonable that a partially-lag-induced panic sell would lead prices on other exchanges down as well.

Now, Gox still has a significant share of volume, but far less than the 80% (lol) they used to brag about. So there is less likelihood of this 80+ minute lag affecting the other exchanges as much as it did in April.

Dump on Gox, if it happens, would cause dump on other exchanges. It might not be as extreme as in April but it would happen, just as it happened when dumps sent it below 300 on Saturday.

It seems that they're just one of many company names registered at that address, which belongs to @UK PLC - http://www.uk-plc.net/contact-ukplc.html

My own service is made by 3 single people and even we provide status updates immediately when something goes wrong..
Really not understandable..
