Do you think Bitcoin price will further go down?

Sold my BTC. Just waiting for a clear trend to take any further action.

Shut up scum. Bitstamp was not hacked.

Posting untrustworthy references from reddshit.

well, it is not reported only on reddit. Coindesk.
Anyway, there is some issue with the hot wallet.

Seeing your reponse, I think you wouldn't have believed mtgox till it happened?

I am not saying bitstamp is done for or anything. But, I think it has an impact on price anyway. i am just waiting for a clear move.

Given that the front page of Bitstamp's web site states that "one of Bitstamp’s operational wallets was compromised on January 4th, 2015." it isn't hard to assume some sort of hack was involved, surely.

Please note: Their cold wallet is not affected.


But, I think it still has an impact on price. If you get out your btc (through ripple method, etc.), you will want to convert it to fiat to be safe, indirectly pushing the price down at the other exchange. (Withdrawals are halted.)

So they say. Words cannot be trusted, only Bitcoin address signatures can.

Hey man, BTC isn't lose yet.

Here there are 220.000 Bitcoin, more or less this is the cold storage of Bitstamp. So, relax man and see what will happen the next hour. Btc are not stolen.

Good catch. If we can assume that they have been in control of the coins at the time they last rested, we can be sure that they control them.

I don't think it would be wise for them to move or even check these funds now, until they understand how deep the hack goes. Might well be they are monitored. So the secure approach will be to run a full security audit first, then prove ownership of the funds. I.e. no hasty decisions, hackers might be expecting this.

the second way in my prediction https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=914412.0

Speculators are again burnt by using a centralized exchange for a decentralized payment system.

I know Bitstamp's security and Ibelieve it's hard to compromise cold wallets but still, a big minus on the image of Bitcoin. Bitcoin will never take off unless ALL centralized exchanges die.

Centralized exchanges can offer multi-signature for trustless Bitcoin deposits.

"hack"

also

lol it's about time, what took them so long?

impact: That depends in which direction they are manipulating the market.

If you are still on mtgoxbitstamp it's a wakeup call to get all your funds out.
Well, now we'll see if you people learned anything from the gox debacle. If bitstamp is still the major western exchange at the end of the month I don't have any hope for you.

There is a typo, the correct site is http://www.bitstamp.net/

We should start a campaign to force them all to start using them. If they can use them, why aren't they?

We'll be in the double digit price range in less than 48 hours.

Whatever happens. pretty sure that isn't going to happen.

Even with mtgox, the price went down to double digits only in mtgox. Here bitstamp price is officially still at 277 :D

* for Bitstamps not Bitcoins

https://blockchain.info/address/1L2JsXHPMYuAa9ugvHGLwkdstCPUDemNCf


timestamp of the last trascaction -> 10:10.

bitstamp down from 10:12.

I don't think as of now that Bitstamp really is screwed beyond repair. I'm still optimistic! I just hope they disable the pending orders before re-enabling the trading engine. I believe people may be tempted to sell their Bitcoins for FIAT in fear of not being able to get their BTC back!

I'm not worried. Lets just wait until their official statement.

They better invite Roger Ver.

 ;D

Many were optimistic in the dawn of MtGox fuckpucinno.

Customer deposits made prior to January 5th, 2015 9:00 UTC are fully covered by Bitstamp’s reserves. Deposits made to newly issued addresses provided after January 5th, 2015 9:00 UTC can be honored.

The chart is flatlined since 9:00 UTC (to present) at 276.8, indicating no trades:

What I find interesting is that they basically halted trading by shutting the site down.

Why halt trading? If there are no deposits nor withdrawals that should not matter on buying or selling.

Seems suspect to me.

They want to manipulate the market by preventing panic sells.

Lower prices in the longer term aren't good for their revenues which are based on percentage fees.

Bitstamp price might change and drop like a rock but doubt it will affect the other already real low bitcoin prices. If anything might get some new buyers in the other exchanges for these lost or stolen coin.

Just like how bad news from MtGox didn't affect all the other exchanges during the years it existed. :D :D :D

We are around 270 right now.

I bet it is due whale people with inside info of what is going on with stamp, that sold before everything went public

Millions lost....
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=914622.msg10045302#msg10045302

I thought u had some info, turns out only FUD  :-\

Halt everything is N1 rule before investigation on hack threat

Yup, BitStamp crash protection squad leaps into action !   :D

That and possibly to stop people moving BTC off the exchange via Ripple ...

not this address... https://www.bitstamp.net

plus mail from bistamp, which i got today:

The first thing they would have to do is get an expert to take copies of all their server hard drives to stop new data overwriting old data that might be used as evidence.

Thread locked. Discussion on the issue : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=914814
