If Bitcoin Centeral keep getting compromised, something is dangerously wrong.

Either their code has a gaping hole in their security, easy to exploit, or their host provider is the security hole. Or both.

Did you even read what happened. It was a problem with the hoster.

Considering the source, this phrase works quiet well "Don't believe everything you read on the internet".
They are blaming the host, so at least some blame can be deflected. Either way it was still their fault.

Who in their right mind would have an exchange holding that much BTC and have it hosted on a rented server.
Colo or self-hosted is how it should be done, that way you know realistically only the owner can access it, not a 3rd party too.

They have now re-opened for people to withdraw funds.

On the site it says

"Users will be expected to clear their accounts in order for us to settle all balances"

but Boussac wrote "You may also leave them with us until we resume operations"

Can anyone confirm that the second is an option as it seems to contradict first option - "Users will be EXPECTED to clear their accounts"

--
On the site it says

"People who have very small EUR balances that aren't practical to wire will be offered a settlement in Bitcoin at generally available market rate at the time of the settlement"

If I chose to withdraw I can't see on the temp site how to convert my small EUR balance to BTC

The true story is that everything <1€ will remain forever in their pockets: I've asked a withdrawal of 341.78€, 341€ have been effectively withdrawn. The unusable rest (0.78€) remains in my account balance.
Not much money but, notwihtastanding they charge us for  this emergency withdrawal, it feels strange to give them another bounty for their failure(s)...

It's true that comparing to the money made by mtgox during lag panics, they are tiny players...

But something seems a little bit rotten in bitcoinland

Is there some particular reason that .78 Eur can not be withdrawn ? Last time I checked you could transfer 178 or 178.34 EUR from any bank account, no problems.

Perfect time to hack your own site and blame it on others.

No.

I withdrew both fiat and coins on the day they opened the page for that purpose.

Both of the types of funds have yet to arrive.

Pulled out my € and BTC as soon as the site went up (2pm CEST).
Received nothing, yet.

I might have left it there if they gave an ETA for the new site, but looks very vague.

[OVER] RIDDLES 2nd edition --- this was claimed. Look out for 3rd edition!
I won't ever ask for a loan nor offer any escrow service. If I do, please consider my account as hacked.

They have their hands full.  It 'll turn up.

To the bitcoin-central people: thanks for refunding customers.  I hope you figure out a really safe and reliable system.  We need good exchanges.

Dear user,
Your payment request has been processed, you will receive the funds shortly.

it's regarding the EUR transfer. Nothing about the bitcoins it seems.
