I asked for a wire transfer out on April 10 and it was processed yesterday.... I guess they are working through a huge backlog of withdrawals/deposits....

As suggested in the newbie board, maybe indicate a queue giving each person a position in the queue or at least state how many transactions are being processed a day - a small daily update indicating for much progress has been made would put a lot of people at ease and probably greatly reduce the amount of support tickets, freeing up time to process tranactions

I have been using bitstamp for over a year, various problems arose. Most were solved, tho unprofessionally (these are kids with css skils only)

Right now they are holding my money hostage for 3 days not responding to PM.

Low as always.

Also they still have a broken trading engine (stealing from users among other things), broken Javascripts etc.... The only reason I used it for, was the convenience of having the cash next day. This is apparently now broked too.

Well, they are kids lacking many skills, which is expected from kids.


edit, imma just gonna quote here, cause I couldn't have put it together any nicer myself;
14:21.25    ( mircea_popescu ) "young entrepreneurs learning the business" heh.
14:21.30    ( mircea_popescu ) that's exactly what i'm talking about.
14:21.38    ( mircea_popescu ) "he's a young dentist learning dentistry".
14:21.59    ( mircea_popescu ) on your teeth motherfucker. this is okay. because most retards are taught how to write and nothing else, then given internet access.


edit; one withdrawal moved to confirmed. things are moving,.. slowly.

edit; second moved to confirmed.

Still waiting for a response from Bitstamp with my account having issues with my 2FA.

Emailed both info@bitstamp.net and support@bitstamp.net a couple of days ago as well as PMed Nejc... please can someone get back to me? Thanks.

We've now processed most of the pending transfers, both deposits and withdrawals. We are now beginning to work our way through the pile of other issues still open. We will do our best to get to everyone as fast as we can.

Nejc,

Keep up the good work. Fantastic service and the most usable, good-looking exchange around.

Glad to see you've set up shop in the UK. Is it likely you will at some point have a GBP denominated UK account so that you can be the first to offer instant Faster Payments Service payments?

Thanks

I was pleasantly surprised by how fast my first SEPA withdrawal from Bitstamp was. I initiated it on Sunday April 7th, and received on my bank account on Wednesday, April 10th. If my second withdrawal goes as fast, it should have arrived today (I can only check it tomorrow). It wouldn't be surprising if that gets delayed by a few extra days because of the recent crash. Overall, I'm very pleased with the service of Bitstamp, I've been a customer for about one year now. It just amazes me how short this thread is, I expected this would be about a hundred times larger, filled with complaints & the usual chattering that goes by on a very popular service.

With all the recent issues effecting exchanges and their bank accounts, is anyone concerned about bitstamp? Can anyone from bitstamp give us an update on their position?

How likely is it that BitStamp's bank (UniCredit) could implode from debt problems among Slovenian banks, al la Cyprus banking industry implosion? There were more than a few articles in the financial press about Slovenia being next in line.

For example: http://www.financialmirror.com/news-details.php?nid=29485

SLOVENIA WORRIES GROW

Pledges of liquidity from the European Central Bank (ECB) have supported European equity markets over the last year, with the FTSEurofirst 300 up some 5 percent since the start of 2013.

But the troubles in Cyprus have highlighted how far the region's sovereign debt crisis may still have to run. Bad loans in Slovenia's banking sector also suggest it may be the next country to need a bailout, although Eurogroup chief Jeroen Dijsselbloem said the country was not on the agenda for Friday's meeting.

"There is zero confidence in the EU finance ministers to come up with the correct solution. Is Cyprus a worry? Yes, but it's less of a worry than the fact that we may see another crazy course of action from the EU finance ministers," said Toby Campbell-Gray, head of trading at Tavira Securities.

The festering uncertainty over the euro zone's economy caused the STOXX Europe 600 Banking Index to fall 1.8 percent to make it the worst-performing equity sector.

The STOXX Europe 600 Insurance Index also fell 0.8 percent, as reinsurer Swiss Re dropped 7.7 percent, although traders said this was mainly down to the fact that Swiss Re went ex-dividend on Friday, after which investors will no longer qualify for its latest dividend payout.

Have you seriously looked into the financial stability of UniCredit Slovenia? I'm quite curious about this. If things go the wrong way, it could break BitStamp which in my opinion is one of the few remaining BTC exchanges that is worthy of my deposits.

I believe bitstamp is a uk company, but uk banking legislation is bad for bitcoin (hence mt.gox and btc-e not taking gbp any more), so they bank abroad

So much retardness here, so sad.
