NYC already approved it last year. We can now use bitcoin to pay parking tickets.

Can we now focus on other means to trade bitcoins other than Gox model exchanges?

I hope people weren't using Stamp to hold coins that they weren't planning to sell. They'd be fucking stupid to do so after Gox.

Next time, you'll use one of these:
- bitcoin-otc.com - localbitcoins.com - mycelium.com/localtrader - multigateway.org

stupidity is bigger than all mankind. Also some traders might accept the risk of being goxxed for the profits of shorting, so it is like a bet, not stupidity

If this can happen at Bitstamp it can happen at any exchange. Keep your coins on your home PCs in an encrypted wallet, files backed up or in a paper wallet if you are HODLing.
Another sad day for BTC, hopefully Bitstamp can cover these losses.

I was told Bitcoin, the trustless P2P currency, was created to eliminate third-party risks, but you say it ain't so? Dang...

+1. Bitcoin's only safe if you never have to use it.

How will the miners dump there bitcoins now?
Miners use exchanges? I recall seeing in the BitPay input wallet some large deposits by KnC, among many small deposits (presumably from retail customers). Whenever that wallet collects sufficient amount, BitPay sends a large deposit to Bitstamp, it seems. However that is only an impression from random browsing. I may try to get some statistics later this week.

This is exactly why credit cards charge for the transaction fees, most of it goes to the banks issuing the cards and alot of that goes to pay for fraud.
