Well, I don't know how you interpret those tweets, but the first one said to expect an update and an ETA later that day - which he delivered. The second tweet said they will likely be online in 24-48 hours. They're now approaching the end of that time frame.
In my books he still is very very well on track.

How big do you think is the risk of just leaving 200+ coins on Stamp and wait for the next bubble? I mean if they come back, they effectively proven themselves to be trustworthy and pull through with their promises. And I bet they will increase their security measures even further.
Completely moved to BTC-E. Bitstamp will have to prove they are here to stay.
But BTC-E??? I mean they have proven to be pretty reliable and not to mess with peoples' BTC. But the people behind the exchange are completely unknown, if they wanted to disappear, I don't think anyone knew where to look for them. I don't know if that's the best choice then. What about Kraken?
The only bad thing I have heard about Kraken is that it's a fairly low volume exchange.
Yeah they may need to push their volumes up. But with Stamp going through all this hassle, it could result in people going over to Kraken, and maybe also Bitfinex. They seem to be rather unshady and trustworthy, as well!

Assuming Bitstamp might go online soonish, are you still comfortable to trade there?
I will be buying. The price will shoot down to 255 range and I'll buy more cheap coins. Then sit back for the rest of the year and watch my money make money.
Bitcoin can barely go a week without experiencing a major hack. Remember the last time your bank was robbed and they shut down for a week and you weren't able to get any of your cash? Oh? Well, neither can I!
How's 'being your own bank' working out?

Sort of. In 2008 some banks went bankrupt and people could not withdraw their money. I remember a couple who had a million in a bankrupt bank and would not leave the premises until the bank let them withdraw it. The bank refused and called the police to get rid of them.
Where was this? The FDIC guarantees customer deposits up to $250,000. That is why wealthy people generally don't hold more than that in a regular bank account at any time. For the vast majority of folks, they can rest easy. Same can't be said for bitcoin.
Bitstamp will never reopen. All bitcoins and fiat traders deposited there, were stolen by the Bitstamp owners. They'll declare insolvency and bankruptcy very soon.
I think they will reopen and not take the route you describe. Other exchanges survived hacks.
When the first dump happened and we were 299$ I instantly sold some bitcoins and bought nubits.
When we reached 285 I bought the bitcoins back and sold the nubits. So now I hold fingers for the price to go up
I wonder if localbitcoins gained many new users and a lot of volume thanks to bitstamp hack? I have used localbitcoins 6 times with 100% success. They seem like a nice substitute at times when Bitstamp is not working.

Great thread. I will be buying. Price will dip to 225 then creep up

BTW: i don't have huge btc in bitstamp,so no issues whatever happened.

Didn't their CEO tweet that bitstamp would come back online in 24-48 hours yesterday???
He gave that as a rough estimate, and the 48 hours isn't over until tomorrow.

Your memory is short if you don't remember that the folks in Cyprus experienced nearly exactly that.
Worse, for when the bank did open a large fraction of their money was taken by the government.
