Got a feeling we are in for a ride! Just dont know if it'll be up or down, but excited anyway!

Bitstamp unavailable again! I've been using bitstamp since the beginning of this year, and honestly their uptime has been rapidly decreasing. I understand the increased traffic that must be coming their way, but surely they can make provisions for it!

Really wish there was a single exchange that could actually stay online consistently!

Sorry for my ignorance... but what are ripples. Still dont understand, are the different to BTC or simply a service offered?

Screw Gox. Would love to provide a reliable alternative, but with the growth rate of BTC and new people flooding the market everyday, there simply isnt one. The lesser of the evils (and been the most reliable for me) is Bitstamp (even though their live trade is f@#ked up recently and you have to rely on bitcoinity for up to date trades).

At this point I've created a support ticket, written on their facebook wall, tweeted them and still nothing! 

In the mean time, I downloaded and installed the firefox addon... not ideal as I  use chrome but only way I can get updates without reloading every 5 seconds!

Im Brad, offiially addiced to Bitcoin! Brought in at $20 and been smiling ever since!

My biggest problem is I dont have more!

Anyone else noticed Bitstamp's live trades are not auto updating... you have to manually refresh?!? Im using chrome on windows 7.... maybe just me?
