Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[shmadz]

I don't think bitstamp is trying to buy any coins

It seems like it'd be cheaper to just buy them back from the thief lol, it wouldn't make sense for them to purchase them with a markup.

Also, we have all seen the Pastebin by now with the wallet containing the stolen BTC, where every transaction says Bitstamp Hack, however I have not seen it in any news articles on the hack. Am I overlooking it, or are the reporters?

Bter brought coins back from the hacker that robbed it.

I have no problem with that. Consider it a "security assessment fee"

Unless it was an inside job, of course.

We're losing another exchange in February. VoS is shuttering its crypto doors

Yeah, I know, it was nice to have at least some kind of alternative/competition for virtex, but the volume and liquidity at vos was pretty pathetic... At least they weren't hacked.

I wish them all the best on their new endeavors. And I hope virtex doesn't use this as an excuse to raise their already high fees.

Bitfinex

Explanation

ChartBuddy switched to Bitfinex! unignore him as soon as possible.  

Maybe Localbitcoins would have been a better option... no offence intended; and totally seriously speaking.

I don't think localbitcoins would really chart very well. Might be interesting to look into though.

cbeast is right, we need to get on this P2P exchange business pronto. Trusted third parties are so 2014, man

Why did you put him in the ignore list?

I always loled and smiled with the GOXED picture, no matter how many times I've seen it

Have to say I'm surprised I didn't have to tweak the scaling factor between Stamp and Finex. Quite similar market depths there.

How many shorts are there?

It appears there is 24 - 48 hours to go before Bitstamp re-opens.

They are probably lying.
Did you all forget the gox stories about malleabilityshit?

At least they're providing updates, which is more than Gox ever did

If they don't reopen I will be sure we are under a gox 2,0 event. If they re open I think things will be back to normal.

At least less time until we know what is going on

I'm impressed by how stable the finex feed is, no more missing data segments, yet.

I wonder if those problems with the stamp feed were some kind of signal or precursor?

Could be jumping the gun here, but is Coinbase down? http://i58.tinypic.com/o5uhbq.png

EDIT: It now reads this: Coinbase is currently offline

No cached version is available.

The most likely causes:

The server is down for maintenance
There may be a network problem
The site may be experiencing excessive load
Retry for a live version of the site

We'll post updates on Twitter if the problem persists
