Bitstamp BTC withdrawal not in blockchain

[zby]

The transaction status is 'Finished' already for two hours - but it does not appear in blockchain. I think it used to be immediately after confirming (via the link in the email) that the btc transaction was emitted to the network - but this did not happen this time. Anyone has tried it recently? This was an arbitrage attempt - so the delay can be potentially damaging for me.

There are reports on reddit that this is happening ( http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1s8gfk/psa_do_not_withdraw_btc_from_bitstamp_at_this/ ). I'd bet their link to the btc network somehow got broken and the transactions aren't being broadcasted. It sure is inconvenient but I don't think anyone should be too worried.

Looks like finally the transaction got broadcasted about 1 pm (UTC).
