Sheesh -  you'd think they could manage a 5 second tweet. Seems they have gone the way of their predecessor MtGox...

Anyone able to withdraw bitcoin?

How long does it normally take for them to process?

[btcdrak]

It's normally within a few minutes.

[leoragraves666]

Withdraw Ripple option doesn't work too.

Like to know if anyone else having the same issue.

Or is it just me?

Support doesn't seem to be working at this hour.

[gjgjg]

was back, but down again

[Lauda]

Internal server error?

[arbitrage001]

Bitstamp is down?

Just pathetic. What's even more pathetic than the lag in transfers and today's total clusterfuck is the fact that the co-founder is a moderator on these boards but not even able to give at least some sort of brief life sign explaining what the heck is going on (despite being active and constantly logging in here today, last one 8 p.m.).

I can't facepalm my face enough for such an unprofessional conduct of business.

God, I'm longing for the day some real players step up with a reliable, professional exchange and stomp these amateur exchanges to the ground. You'd think with a market cap of 8 billion the time for serious business has come. But nah, let's just run our exchanges like drunken apes. So frustrating.

Submitted a bank wire one week ago

Called the bank today and confirmed bitstamp's bank received the funds

Now I am waiting to see when my bitstamp account will be credited

So everyone is having issue with bitcoin withdrawal?

So everyone is having issue with bitcoin withdrawal?

I do. Requested a coin withdrawal roughly 3 hours ago. Not arrived yet.

Furthermore, also a wire transfer somewhere in Limbo. According to my bank already reached Bitstamp's bank last Wednesday.

Failstamp at its best.

[arbitrage001]

Same here.

I requested 1-2 BTC withdraw and they are still processing it.


Hope they didn't do any naked short on bitcoin. If they do, they are in serious trouble right now (so are we).

I'm also not happy with the communication of Bitstamp. A short note on twitter is the least they could do, even if they can't fix the problem immediately.

That said, you're maybe not entirely fair about the "all exchanges are run by drunken apes". A major reason for exchange downtimes appear to be DDoS attacks. The sites don't handle them well, true, but then again, which (non bitcoin) sites do you know that *do* handle DDoS without downtime? The effect is just more spectacular in our case because traders tends to get twitchy when they can't log in and trade.
