www.BITSTAMP.net Bitcoin exchange site for USD/BTC

[TimJBenham]

Has that blown out lately? When I deposited by wire a month or so ago the money was tradeable within three hours.

Do they accept deposits in £s? Or is it just €s?

I wired USD EUR from Australia to Slovenia in March. I since heard something about their changing to a UK bank, so their banking service may have gone to hell.

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.

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

I'm new with socket.io and I don't seem get this to work..
There is also no documentation to be found about this websocket. Is this deceprated or something?
The socket.io.js returns the string 'Welcome to socket.io.'
This throws me a syntax error in the console because there is no JS.

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!');
    });
</script>

I also allowed cross origin sharing before testing it by running chromium with the --disable-web-security command.
Googling for solutions didn't help, so I'm kind of stuck with the HTTP API for the moment.

I would be very very very happy to get this working, too.

does site api is working? My bot cant load rates throught API during 20hours! Maybe my ip is blocked, becouse from another api is working.
What will i must to do? (i dont send queryes often, then one in 3sec)

[Flaff]

When you get banned, you won't be able to visit bitstamp.net at all.
Every one of their pages will give you the banned message (900seconds=15minutes).
This happens for using the wrong login or for spamming their api.

Is it possible to move USD to OKPay or MtGox?

[evilscoop]

Is it possible to move USD to OKPay or MtGox?

you can use bitinstant with a bitstamp coupon

4% commission is just not worth! I will lose less on Bitstamp USD -> BTC -> MtGox USD -> OKPay.

[evilscoop]

commission changes with amount to move...


ie commission on 100usd is 0.89%

see https://www.bitinstant.com/fees

the 4% they put on the front is a false value

Wow! Just signed up for a bitstamp account and so far I'm very impressed. (Which is to say they have a nice looking website. That's about all I can vouch for right now.)

[CanadianGuy]

No ripples available?  How is that possible?   

[webr3]

No ripples available?  How is that possible?   

That normally only happens when (a) a price rise is coming, of (b) there's no staff around who can deal with ripple (maybe they're at bitcoin conference).

You can still acquire XRP on secondary market at better prices though.

Is there a way to get USD into Bitstamp besides a wire transfer?

[juhakall]

Ripple deposits & Bitstamp codes.

[zknf]

bitstamp has a rich set of APIs, however it seems that ripple withdraw through API is still not possible now.
will this be implemented any time soon? it will be greatly appreciated

Speaking of the API, does anyone know how it works with two-factor authentication?

It doesn't. API access skips 2FA. :/

Hello
I made BTC withdrawal on May 21, 2013, 7:36 p.m. Status - Finished
Amount: 1.56490000 BTC, address: 1AZhQeWpCzK28Yhoqg6vWBZJ8ETUv3b8mK
Still not received.
My account ID 23897
Regards.

[mmeijeri]

Bump. Several people are reporting problems withdrawing BTC and not getting updates on the situation from Bitstamp. I find this very disappointing.

[Seth Otterstad]

The bitstamp guys were at the bitcoin conference.  I vaguely remember them saying they were returning close to the end of the month.  It would not surprise me if they are not able to fix problems as well while they are in the US.
