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

I did receive that E-mail as well, I just read the email and was like "yes nice try", so I guess that was it.

I wonder how stamp knows which accounts received that e-mail, assuming that is the withdraw suspension trigger.

Perhaps they don't know which accounts are affected, but simply implemented some heavy-handed "If IP changed geolocation more than 100 miles, block withdrawal" rule.

Can anyone who had his BTC withdrawals blocked on Bitstamp comment on this possibility? Did you log in from a different location than usual?

Maybe they detected a flaw on the system, and a bunch of emails were compromised... and maybe that's all about, including the upcoming official statement by BS.

Everyone of those who received the BTCguard email, have the withdrawals suspended?

maybe BTC guild provided them with the Addresses the e-mail was sent to ? if it was really BTCguild safety fuckup, I think their last move was to prevent anything from happening with contacting stamp ? I have no Idea I am just speculating ...

But I am not registered on BTC Guild, some other people that got the email are not registered either. I think they maybe got the emails from Bistamp directly or some other way and just send it from 'support@btcguild.com' to not arouse suspicion.

T&S still indicates billy likes fiat.

I guess then that we had a leak at bitstamp side.

Nope, and I have a static IP. Maybe my account had multiple login attempts (that were not me) and that's why they blocked it.

mmm yes this is really strange

We need to hear from somebody who used an exclusive address for their bitstamp account (ie. one that they have not used on some other service), yet still received that spam, to know this for sure.

[Walsoraj]

Stamp is going down further. But below $500 very unlikely.

There is no floor for Gox though.

[TheKoziTwo]

Wait a sec, so people just sold because they thought bitstamp disabled withdrawals??

They sold because they think people will sell because bitstamp disabled withdraws.

Dumps on Gox, I wonder if we'll see double digits today?

I sure hope so. I just sent ~50k to mtgox. Would be a dream come true to buy in double digit.

I use 2 exclusive IP addresses, and use 2FA and use all their security features, and I got my BTC withdrawals blocked, so I really do not know what happened exactly, I guess their announcement will answer everything

Probably not, more related to deflating of the bubble..

Thanks.

Maybe the senders of the emails just went "fishing", attempting log in even if you didn't respond.

Then again, you need the account number to log in, so not sure how they would have gotten that one.

Sorry for not being clear, I was referring to an exclusive e-mail adress above. This would tell us if stamp leaked the e-mail addresses.

To buy back in double digits and never be able to withdraw them again?
