Title: how Bitstamp gave me bad service! Post by: XXthetimeisnowXX on March 31, 2013, 12:15:55 AM the other day when we had the "flash crash" i sold at 95 usd watched it go down till it hit eighty saw it turn up down up down then at 83 i tried to buy.... i couldn't?!? bit stamp and mt gox were lagging so bad!
so I kept at it 84 nothen 85 nothen. computer would load bitstamp but just not all the way. couldnt enter the amount i wanted to buy in the amount box. auhhhhhh i screamed at my computer. i decided to hurry and run to another one. this one was brand new and supper fast. logged on to bitstamp and again same thing trying like hell to buy but by the time i bought it was at 92. so from 82 to 92 is ten dollars per bit i was trying like hell to buy 100. thats a thousand dollars i lost not because i missed the bounce or didn't sell high but because these POS sights cant handle the traffic. im so sick of all the sights like mt gox, bitstamp....( ok so just two but still) lagging when i want to buy or sell. I wish they would get there shit together and make it more professional. tell me what you think please:) MOD EDIT: Changed the title so it's less misleading Title: Re: how Bitstamp robbed me!

Distributed Denial Of Service attack. A hacker has control of many machines over the internet and uses them to flood a site with web traffic until is slows down. Title: Re: how Bitstamp robbed me!

Title: Re: how Bitstamp robbed me! Post by: funkimon on March 31, 2013, 02:15:09 PM Title is a bit misleading there. They hardly robbed you. They failed to provide there service and you missed out. Thats different to being robbed.

They failed to provide there service and you missed out. Thats different to being robbed. yes I can see how that may have been a bit strong in the title, but if there was a run on any bank and you were first in line maybe second and the "security guards" let almost everyone else in but you and when you went to get your money it was worth an incredible amount less. this is some form of robbery. you may want to say they didnt provide service but going to mc fatties and ordering a double mc fattie fattie and they wouldn't serve you is not providing service. if you loose a lot of money because THEY wont let me access MY money then it is a form of robbery if you ask me. but if you want to stick up for them that is fine, one day it will happen to you and you will not say "what the f i just got robbed!" you will simply smile and say oh shucks im being denied service to my money......better go on the forums and make sure I stick up for this wonderful company. hooray I love loosing money."

And dDOS is where loads of people send loads of traffic to a server in the hope of overwhelming it's network connection and bringing it down. Something that's very hard to stop, unless you have a hardware failsafe in place. Title: Re: how Bitstamp gave me bad service!

I just want bitcoin to succeed, and yes it all ready has and is most likely going to, but we gotta talk about these issues when they happen, not just turn a blind eye Title: Re: how Bitstamp gave me bad service!

This means people would be more likely to attack it. However, as more people are piling their money into the exchanges, they'll have more money to upgrade their servers ;) Title: Re: how Bitstamp gave me bad service!

Bitstamp has provided me with nothing but great service. Title: Re: how Bitstamp gave me bad service!

That makes no sense and is random as. |
