Bitstamp is hosted on cloudflare. There was a big DDOS on cloudflare lately, maybe they still have in their routing tables some null routes for some of the providers you are using (they may have been involved in ddos).

When cloudflare's IP going to nullroute from my location, I should not be able even to connect. But i see nginx working and it says 502 error.

As bitstamp support don't want to discuss this problem private, I discuss it public.

[beekeeper]

Maybe it is not null route, but some "null route" in upper layer. Like a http redirect.
Just get a free vpn in a country it works.
PS: I have no experience with cloudflare, I'm assuming. Maybe contact cloudflare support.

Ive had troubles understanding bitstamps wire transfer details and the SEPA Zone etc. I am in the US. Is it possible for me to depost BTC to bitstamp sell, and then wire the money to my bank in the US? How long will the transfer take? Id like to avoid gox as Ive heard a lot of bad about them and have thought bitstamp would be the best for me since, I can actually see the order book, and they dont seem to have to lag problems like MT GOX.
Id appreciate any info. I have an account at bitstamp now.

I did an international wire transfer last friday from bitstamp to a Citibank Usd account in the UK.

The wire out was confirmed Monday morning by Bitstamp and hit my Citi account on Wednesday afternoon.

Btw I use Chrome and havent had any connectivity problems whatsoever in the last weeks

Since upgrade to Firefox 19.0 and then 19.0.2, I'm having issues on quite a lot of websites that used to work flawlessly. 

What sort of issues are you having. Did you contact support and describe them?

Is anybody else having issues with BitStamp withdrawals?

I withdrew various amounts of BTC this afternoon (about 2.30pm) - two transfers were successful but my third transfer seemingly 'disappeared' though it is marked as "finished" in my Withdrawals. There is no trace of it at all. I've opened a support ticket but have had no reply as of yet; it was only a few hours ago though so I presume support simply hasn't gotten around to it yet.

Another member is having a similar issue with BTC-E (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=40889.msg1723402#msg1723402), so I'm just wondering if my issue is an isolated one or if other BitStamp users are experiencing the same thing?  

EDIT (7.13pm):

I have had a response from BitStamp support stating that their "Bitcoin client failed to send [me] bitcoins" and they would send them manually - not sure how or why this occurred, but the issue is being resolved and I'm happy with the outcome.

Still interested in finding out if others experienced a similar problem though.

Larger withdrawals may take up to 24 hours if it depleted their hot wallet.

I don't think that was the case here as it was only a request for 5.08 BTC (and 10.7813 BTC overall), though it is of course a possibility.
BitStamp's response was that the Bitcoin client failed to send my Bitcoin though, so not entirely sure what the problem was. 

All's well that ends well though. 

[hazek]

All's well that ends well though. 

So you got your bitcoins now?

[btcirl]

So you got your bitcoins now?

Yes, BitStamp support manually transferred them to my BTC address about 20 minutes ago.

i made a SEPA deposit on 28 March and still doesn't show up in my account. Is that normal?

I don't know, but they didn't work from 29 March till 2 April. Maybe it needs one more day to show.

Yes this is precisely the reason. Give it a day or two more before you contact support. I'm sure you'll get your deposit added.

I withdrew over $8000 a couple of weeks ago.... No problems whatsoever!

There are no limits.

It might be worth researching certain thresholds that will trigger  a message to tax-authorities and so on. I don't know much about the details about these things, but if the threshold was 10K, it would perhaps be better withdrawing smaller amounts at a time, lest you get investigated, and god knows if any bank would hold money pending investigation ?

Maybe banks have such "trigger" amounts however Bitstamp does not. But it is true that first deposits above 1000€ require a KYC procedure and any deposits or withdrawals above 10,000€ with an unverified account also require a KYC procedure at Bitstamp.

Does bitstamp have a public websocket/streaming API?
Also, are there any request limits to usual API?
