Topic: www.BITSTAMP.net Bitcoin exchange site for USD/BTC - page 40. (Read 231282 times)
I'm not looking for an escrow styled trading, but something very similar to bitstamp. Real time trades, SEPA transfers, working and fast webpage and last but not least customer service. Trading volume is an issue too. That's why btc-e doesn't cut it (and the fiat/btc rate is ridiculously low compared to other markets).
Still unusable and unrensposive. Prices lag minutes behind and cancelling orders is impossible.

Bitcoin.de & Kraken.com, although neither have anywhere near as much volume as Bitstamp does.
Bitcoin.de is not really an exchange, it is more an escrow that facilitates trading: you deal directly with other users and you buy/sell using SEPA transfers. Once the payment is received by the you/the other party, Bitcoin.de release BTCs accordingly.
Pro:
- Transfers are not stuck in a limbo depending on non-specified "problems" (MtGox/Bitstamp style).
- Because the entities involved in the transfers are banks, transfers really happen in 24/48 hours
- The price for BTCs sometimes is lower than "real" exchanges
- You don't need to fully verify your account: there is a semi-verified status that allows you to trade a maximum of €2500/year (IIRC there is also a limit in terms of volume, but at the moment I am too lazy to login and check
).Cons:
- Because of the 24/48 hours delay you cannot do day trading
- No major charting facilities available
- In case of a price crash the other party may refuse to honour the transaction (by doing so s/he will be penalised and possibly banned by/from bitcoin.de)
- Prices in USD don't make any sense: they are hugely overestimated
Yeah he didn't ask for an exchange specifically, but bitcoin.de is more like localbitcoins.com. Also, massimies, look into localbitcoins.com.
Kraken seems pretty great, but they are US based. Which is a big downside for me, especially after the whole Lavabit ordeal. And then there is the (very) low volume issue, of course.
I really hope Bitstamp will get real. They have been doing a fine job up until now, but we have yet to see a whole bunch of improvements. Surely most of these have been discussed within this thread.
i think is very extrange before bitstamp down the prices was nearly 15% less compared with mtgox. After the site was recovered the prices are around the same as mtgox... Casuality?
It is completely normal.
Deposits halted= less money to buy bitcoin = less price
Deposits of 2 weeks processed all at the same time in just 2 days = tons of money to buy bitcoin = higher price
Still unusable and unrensposive. Prices lag minutes behind and cancelling orders is impossible.

My mom wired money from US on Friday, November 15th. Still nothing in her balance, and no reply to question of whether they even got it.
These guys are messing with Rassah's mom now

Crossed the 2 weeks waiting boundary since I deposited ...
Ow wait... Guess WHAT?.. they WON'T ANSWER the publisher because they can't answer their tickets!
Holy shit, let me doubt that there are 200k coins on Bitstamp... What's sure is that in their order book they only have 10k coins.

market order? your trade gets executed even when you are away from your computer...
The prices on the webpage are lagging behind the real time prices. API shows them correctly but the site lags.
"Funny" how bitstamp started being unresponsive 5 minutes before rates dropped. It's hopeless to get current market price not to mention to sell some coins for it. Reminds me a lot of Mt. Gox.

finally i got it! i filled just filled in some future date and informed the support.
i think i had something to do with bitstamps off-time. -new/refreshed formula data wasnt transmitted, or something.
concerning the possible "down", it seems like DDOS for me. but the API seems to work fine^^
more and more voices get louder, if these down-time are somehow a product of the page itself, trying to get somehow a profit. -even if not, it is quite bad for such site not to be -always available-, or having a big enough infrastructure for its number of daily customers.
...but it is just the childhhod of the coins... so let see how it will mature

it´s gone??? 
The website was down for ~15 minutes. No big deal at other fields but really annoying and costfull when it happens to exchanges for a pretty volatile new currency.
I don't really know an answer to your question above but have you considerd trying you ID-Card or your passport?
it´s gone???
AAAAAND its gone........
Great service Bitstamp. Let me guess.. networking issues? Those completly resolved ones?
Edit: Nice recovery! If that is your improved downtime, I am very pleased.
