Apologies for not addressing this sooner. Certain requests on our API were restricted due to abuse, currently GET https://www.bitstamp.net/api/transactions/ syntax is as follows:

Transactions

GET https://www.bitstamp.net/api/transactions/

Params:

    time - time frame for transaction export ("minute" - 1 minute, "hour" - 1 hour, "day" - 1 day). Default: hour.

Returns descending JSON list of transactions. Every transaction (dictionary) contains:

    date - unix timestamp date and time
    tid - transaction id
    price - BTC price
    amount - BTC amount


The available transaction history is thereby limited to the last 24hours. We are working to make a file available for download for the rest of transaction history.

Apologies for any delays our customers may have experienced last night. There was an issue which delayed Bitcoin withdrawals last night however we now resolved it and withdrawals should be processed in the normally expected time frame. If anyone is still waiting for their withdrawal we kindly ask that you submit a support ticket here: https://www.bitstamp.net/support/ and we'll make sure to look into your case and resolve it.

Dear Bitstamp users,

Due to upcoming holidays, October 31st Reformation Day and November 1st All Saints' Day, bank deposits and withdrawals will not be processed as our bank will be closed.

All bank deposits and withdraws will resume on Monday, 4th October 2013.

Right, robbed is what I meant. 

The optimization's after switching our DDoS mitigation service provider is not completed yet. When it is it should work much smoother again.

Coins weren't frozen, coins were stolen.

ATTENTION ALL BISTAMP USERS –SCHEDULED DOWNTIME!

The Bitstamp.net website is scheduled for a temporary downtime due to hardware improvement and software optimisation.

The downtime is scheduled for Sunday morning, 27th October 2013, and will start at approximately 8:00 (GMT+2) and last until around 12:00 (GMT+2).

During the maintenance period, you may receive a downtime notification when attempting to access the website.

yeah, if by won you mean stolen and if by fair you mean using violence and coercion

We always do our best to resolve any issues with customer verification. If you are someone like that, please contact our support and you will be given instructions on how to resolve the matter.

There are no such plans at this time and I don't think we are likely to do so.

Awesome job.

This is acceptable only if it's a copy which was authenticated as valid by a notary.

Whilst Bitstamp is currently unregulated and does not fall within the scope of the AML/CTF obligations in the UK, the senior management has implemented systems and procedures that meet the UK AML legislation (please find the details here: https://www.bitstamp.net/aml-policy/). Bitstamp`s verification procedure is following these standards.

Please note that if you do not have any documents currently that meet our standards, you can also request a proof of residency from your local government or print an electronic utility bill and send us by a notary verified copy.

I just wonder how much of this is being driven by people fleeing gox and how much is actual demand:

Of course I was reading it correctly, except that the image posted here is being updated and my comment is now outdated.

what does this show? change in the order book over time?

Looks like we might be heading lower, a lot of new asks turned up:

Thx.

Wow, which site/service is this? Looks awesome.
