Anyone from bitstamp to comment on this? It has been 6 days

What kind of SEPA transfer? Withdrawal, deposit? How much? Are you verified? do you have 2FA?

It a SEPA withdraw, nothing serious 200 USD, I have been verified for months now, answered KYC 2 months ago, and I do have 2FA. I just wanted to test the withdrawal time, but seems there is a problem with them. A month ago everything was going smoothly, transactions never got "in process" for this long, it was max 2 bussines days. And it's 5 now, and no one from support is answering. For me, it is kind of an alarm, since we all know how it was with gox

If bitstamp is running on fractional reserve (which I don't believe, i think they are honest), each aditional day they keep the money could help cover their "fraction".
Lets assume their fiat transfer volume is 10Mio$ a day. Then each day delay in fiat processing (deposit and withdrawal) could cover a hole of 10Mio$. Lets compare this to mtgox. If they had 42 day delay in withdrawal (6 weeks, which was about the time i think) it would have covered a hole of 420 Mio US$ at mtgox. Thats about the dimension of the financial hole they really had...  (coincidence?)

But again: I don't think bitstamp is running on fractional reserve.

Yup. Just trying to warn people.

Can anyone explain that trade that came out of the api at $633  over 3000btc below the bids?

This was a single event glitch that happened during an update being rolled out to our live trading engine. The update is now deployed and the trade engine is functioning normally.

We always aim to process all withdrawal requests as fast as possible to the best of our abilities - for most customers this means on the same or on the next business day.

If any of our users notice an unusually long time before getting their withdrawal request processed without receiving any communication from us, please contact our support by submitting a support ticket and we will make sure to look into your case and resolve it accordingly.

Also please remain patient and refrain from bumping the ticket with additional messages until you have received a reply as this bumps it to the bottom of our queue and may thereby further delay our response.

What about account verification? I provided all details already and am tiring of the wait.

Since the MtGox closure we have seen a slight increase in the amount of new verification requests which has consequently also increased our queue. We apologize for any delays and we kindly ask for your patience.

Are you going to reimburse the seller who sold well below what would have been market price (plus some slippage maybe)?

is there any data showing that Bitstamp and BTC-e are helping investigate the theft of coins from MtGox.   They should be in there helping to find accounts associated with the coins.  It's in their own interest and the bitcoin community to show that it can self-police and help find thieves.

Where I live, we say "mind your own bussines", I think the best that Bitstamp and BTC-E can do is do their own thing, they already have more on their plate than they can handle without playing internet police.

And I'm sure that naturally, you'll be the first in line to contribute to the BTC self-policing fund? Or should it just be them?

I'd be happy to.  The only folks who don't want to see it are people trying to hide money.  

You can't stop it and it will happen more and more (exchange cooperation in thefts).

How so if goxers were left living under a bridge?

Wrote to support some 16 hours ago, and didn't bump the message. Lets see what happens, so far no answer, but that is still ok since I suppose support is crowded since the closure of gox.

Dear Bitstamp clients,

On November 22nd and 23rd, 2013 an on site due diligence was carried out in respect of Bitstamp Ltd. on behalf of a 3rd party.

Bitstamp’s balance of BTC was validated by temporarily creating the largest single Bitcoin wallet and in the process the largest Bitcoin transaction in history.

The report identified that Bitstamp held 100% of validated BTC balance and USD funds. No material issues were raised as a consequence of the 3rd party’s investigations.

Best regards,
Bitstamp team

They did not reveal the third parties who audited, 0 trust for now. If it was http://www.firestartr.co/ , still 0 trust, it must be by the big 4 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Four_%28audit_firms%29
