bitstamp is down again... starting to become annoying
Getting flash-backs of Gox in April. With their awful UI, not good at all.
I've been getting burned several times with the lag and downtime of stamp... i've lost btc now.. as much as i was gushing about bitstamp's fees it seems its really only for cashing out and i should move back to gox to trade. irritating.
Same here,Got burnt too in trading, stamp is just not good enough platform for trading and there is less much volatility than on gox.
fucking hammering an order in to find out that they've locked out my funds on another order that I can't see.. after lag. wasn't good yesterday.
they need to have everything on one screen, cost me a couple hundred dollars / BTC whatever you look at it even though my moves were correct and I saw everything coming. Would have worked fine on gox. No perfect way to do it
and now stamp is down, great
As a backup you can use some kind of trading tool like
http://qtopentrader.com/ (supports gox,stamp,btc-e,btcchina) , that uses trading through api and is more user friendly than clicking through web interface. Even has trading rules ability, that lets you make subsequent orders / sells based on various parameters..
