SEPA deposit arrived well. That's the 2nd deposit with Bistamp, all good so far.

My Google 2-factor auth has been preventing me from logging in for a few days. Sent an email to nejc.kodric@bitstamp.net but no response.

It says "Invalid authentication code."

What to do?

What to do?

Please make sure your phone time is synced otherwise it will not generate the right code. To sync your Google Authenticator app on android do this: go to Settings -> Time correction for codes -> Sync now, and for iOS: Settings -> General -> Date & Time -> Set Automatically -> On.

This should solve your issues. However if this doesn't help you, please start a support ticket and we will give you further instruction on how to disable your two factor authentication.

You work for Bitstamp now? Perhaps you should do an official announcement then. If you already did, I missed it.

Dear Bitstamp,

can you please have a look at my issue? My deposited Bitcoins dissapeared..!
I made a Bitcoin Deposit from my local wallet to my Bitstamp account.

The transaction showed as unconfirmed in my bitcoin account after I sent it. 2 days later when it received the 3 confirmations according to my local wallet the incomming transaction dissapeared in my Bitstamp account and no Bitcoins are credited to my account. How is this possible?

I send a mail and support tickets 24 hours ago. The ticket number is #376 containing all information about the transaction.
It seems impossible to me that the Bitcoins dissapeared in thin air.. can you please look into this and fix it??

Thanks

[knarfske]

Thanks for the quick response.
Maybe a good point for the future: implement an automated response on the emailadres and support tickets just to let people know that their question/issue is received and being handled. It might give a little comfort and coinfidence. People (me included )  might feel left in the dark otherwise and unheard.

But, thanks again!

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

Yes:

Code:

 var trades_socket = io.connect('https://websocket.bitstamp.net:8080/live_trades');
 var orders_socket = io.connect('https://websocket.bitstamp.net:8080/live_orders');

Yes:

 up to 1 per second

How do we use the Socket.IO API? There doesn't seem to be happening much besides a connected message when using this:

Code:

<script src="https://websocket.bitstamp.net:8080/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
<script>
    var conn = io.connect('https://websocket.bitstamp.net:8080/live_trades');

    conn.on('connect', function() {
        alert('Connected!');
    });

    conn.on('disconnect', function() {
        alert('Disconnected!');
    });

    conn.on('message', function(data) {
        alert('Got Something!');
    });

    conn.on('anything', function(data) {
        alert('Got Something!');
    });

    conn.on('error', function() {
        alert('Got Error!');
    });
</script>

Change your conn.on('message', to conn.on('trade'.

I'd really like to see non-https access to websocket too. I have problems using ruby gems to create a connection.

how much have you send with SEPA? i do also want to withdraw with SEPA.. but dont know how much is "good and possible at once"

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.

Wouldn't making numerous transactions below a threshold fall under "structuring"? Most jurisdictions have laws that address this.

Thank you so much! Got some pretty cool charting working now . One question for the bitstamp guys:

Why do tid's sometimes increment with more then 1?
"tid": 245967
to
"tid": 245972

[Dargo]

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.

Can one actively trade before the KYC procedure is complete? Say if one deposits in BTC, would one be able to sell and buy BTC back before the KYC procedure is complete?

Will your withdrawal service work with Canadian bank accounts?

In case you have submitted a support ticket or requested a transfer or verification, please read: https://www.bitstamp.net/article/overwhelming-popularity/

What are withdrawal limits in BTC for unverified accounts? Didnt find that

ACCOUNT VERIFICATION

There are no transfer limits or trade limits for "verified" Bitstamp users.

In the event that you would like to remove the 1000€ first time deposit limit on your unverified account
or the €10,000 deposit limit for any future deposits and/or withdrawals, verification is necessary.
