which (programming) language or technologie is Bitstamp based on?
Python, once the CEO told me... and yes I am back, but I don't care about your trading strategies nor your life drama.... I moved on to other things.

Major bitcoin exchange suspended after price plunge http://www.cnbc.com/id/102309754"Some, however, are not buying this explanation. "Don't believe Bitstamp. It's a matter of liquidity," Jeffrey Robinson, author "BitCon: The Naked Truth about Bitcoin" wrote to CNBC. "Who's next? It's as if Bitstamp realized they couldn't internalize the risk anymore so just decided, Let's suspend operations until everything settles down." go bears.

Stamp selflessly sacrifices its credibility to stem the run on Bitcoin, and all you Bitcoiners do is ridicule it. You gentlemen don't even know who your heroes are

isn't there usually usually around BTC15k at finex on bid side? (what is usually visible on bitcoinwisdom) So after stamp went down most of that just vanished?
I thought they were independent of bitstamp

Yes and if we were to experience a 2013 rate of growth again, we'd be put at $35k/BTC at the end of november. Funny this market, ain't it?

Mt Gox, the biggest exchange in the history of bitcoin, closed and stole acount holder funds, and now it appears that Stamp -- less than one year later -- is experiencing some significant problems of its own. Merchant adoption means very little any more. Companies adopt bitcoin and the price barely moves. It would take nothing short of a sovereign country adopting bitcoin as its national currency to cause a spike in price again. Face it, the 2010-2013 bull market is over and the bubble is now deflating. There's very little to get excited about anymore in the world of bitcoin. Expect the price to continue falling.

From Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/2repff/bitstamp_exchange_issues_megathread/cnf6gdpuser baron1703 wrote: Observations: Known Bitstamp cold storage: https://blockchain.info/address/1JoktQJhCzuCQkt3GnQ8Xddcq4mUgNyXEaSuspicious address: https://blockchain.info/address/1L2JsXHPMYuAa9ugvHGLwkdstCPUDemNCfTransactions started to appear in the suspicious address after 1am european time on 04.01.15. The first transactions had fees of 0.55 and 1 btc, respectively. These continue thought the day with fees of around 0.1btc. First complaints of deposit issues started during the day. Stamp sent out an email the NEXT day, shortly thereafter suspending its site. As can be seen here ( http://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/6e20c5b8ebb819c7?from_address=1L2JsXHPMYuAa9ugvHGLwkdstCPUDemNCf), the transactions coming into the 1L2JsX address are from bitstamp addresses (note that this page is not real time, so not all new transactions are displayed). The cold storage address mentioned above was not touched since mid december. The first new transactions in this address appear at around 10pm european time on 04.01.15. This appears to be a sweep of hot wallet addresses and brings in about 10k btc. Notice the specific structure this sweep transaction has (example: https://blockchain.info/tx/c84a1b8e7aaeae81cf3a1db7e37fdd6befbedafb4213338f412c6981b9469553) - a round amount is swept to the cold storage, an arbitrary amount is put in another address where it is combined with other inputs and swept again. This pattern is not observed in the 1L2JsX address. Furthermore, fees in the cold storage address vary from 0.0001 to 0.001, depending on size - again, unlike the 1L2JsX address. IF the 1L2JsX address indeed belongs to a hacker, bitstamp COULD be missing 18,865btc, with the remaining 134,872btc in its cold storage wallet. It appears that only these two addresses have been used for sweeping. This would imply a loss of 12% of all held bitcoins. One of the bitstamp founders ( https://twitter.com/nejc_kodric) tweeted: "To restate: the bulk of our bitcoin are in cold storage, and remain completely safe." Interpret that as you will.
