Many people seem to like bitstamp.net and it is said to be reputable.
Because of this I wanted to take a look at it.
But if you do a whois request for the domain name "bitstamp.net", you get the result:

bitstamp.net@contactprivacy.comSo they use a whois-protection service. I ask myself: Why?
On the one hand, this makes a company looking dubious.
Furthermore, they have no reason to do that. In their imprint they mention the full name and address of the company. And the directors are already known.
