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

[tarmi]

deposits not working neither at stamp.

so, who is dumping?  

[mmitech]

I am calling BS. My withdrawal (several thousands of dollars) has been pending since 16th february. All Bitstamp did was sending of KYC questions on 18th. Since then NOTHING. And no I can´t use the money for trades either, they are just floating in limbo right now.

The problem everyone is talking about is BTC not $

So it´s perfectly okay, that people can continue to play with virtual money, but their bank accounts will stay empty? Thanks for clearing that up.

I had the same KYC email when I requested a SEPA withdrawal, and I just answered the questions and provided a copy of my Passport and they proceeded my withdrawal, so I am not sure what are you waiting for...

[dreamspark]

Sorry, my mistake.

Apology accepted 

See isn't it all much more fun when we all get along !

[EuroTrash]

I can withdraw atm. Thanks for the heart attack.

Not good for a market that is already dipping its toes in fear.

[Dragonkiller]

Okay thanks. Yeah, I think they spotted the fishing attempt and paused withdrawals on the affected accounts as a precaution.

where did you see the phishing attempts ? I was offline the whole day, did I miss anything ?

I received emails from 'support@btcguild.com' yesterday and the day before for the first time which contained a link to download malware. A few other people got that email too, people that got that email get the error message when attempting to withdraw bitcoins from Stamp. I am not registered at BTC Guild, and it was sent to the email address I use for my Stamp account.

[soullyG]

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

[johnny211]

Fact: BTCGuild gives a statement about fake mails sent from their adress to emails belonging to BitStamp-Users
BitStamp freezes some Accounts, independet of 2FA.

Some people use a separate e-mail address for every account, would be nice to hear if anybody like this also received the btcguild spam.

[ShroomsKit]

all the FUD aside, this market is primed for a crash.

it is only a question of time.

btc deposits not working on stamp as well.

You may have noticed we crashed from 1200 to 600 (in stages) How is it again primed for a crash exactly?

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.

that is not a crash, that is bubble deflating. I mean the real test of the lows.

One moment, sir. I answered all the questions. However I didn´t scan my passport - I don´t have one and told them so (they already have the ID card and copies of bills anyway). Keep in mind, Bitstamp didnt reject my withdrawal or asked for any other information, they just went silent, while keeping the withdrawal money in no man´s land (Status: In process). I can provide pictures if needed.

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

[adamstgBit]

is the panic over already?

maybe BTCguild 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 ...

Perhaps those accounts had multiple login attempts from various different IP addresses.

[ShroomsKit]

So now we're at 580. Down 20 again. Everybody happy now? Ready for the next panic sell?

[Frequency]

if $130 wall gets eaten, then what?? brace

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?
