Title: Is Bitstamp Goxing?
Post by: Nagle on February 13, 2014, 07:04:36 PM
Bitstamp issued a statement two days ago on their suspending Bitcoin withdrawals:

"Bitcoin withdrawal and deposit processing will be suspended temporarily until a software fix is issued. ... We will communicate any further developments regarding this issue."

No date was given for a fix. No alternative way to withdraw was given. Two days later, there's no new announcement. Not good. That's Mt. Gox type behavior. When Bloomberg writes a story about a failure like that (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-02-11/bitcoin-exchange-bitstamp-halts-withdrawals.html), the company has to fix the problem very fast, or be lumped in with other failed and failing exchanges.
