bitstamp btc withdrawal problem

[ImI]

Most people complaining have either a very low post count or only joined the forum today.

They are likely Mt. Gox sock puppets.

I m not a puppet ....
But i am anxious because this is the first time my transaction not shown in blockchain, and of course, at the bitcoin destination address

[Bartje]

I am a puppet. But also puppets have feelings!

I can confirm that bitstamp btc deposits are working fine. (just had one go through..)

Not sure about withdrawals however..

[DennisD7]

Made a withdrawal this morning (UK time) and it seemed to work fine - at Bitstamp it's marked as "Finished" - but it never appeared in the wallet. I sent them a support ticket after a couple of hours, but no reply yet.

It's a 1 BTC transfer so I'm not sweating too much (just happy it wasn't 10 BTC, I made one of those last week).

It's probably going to be all right, but I wish they'd post a statement or something. Also, for a few hours I suspected I'd misspelled the wallet address somehow, and there is no way to verify on Bitstamp which address I used.

Stamp seems to have a problem with $ withdrawals as well.
On SEPA withdrawal it shows: Minimum withdrawal amount is $10. You have $0.00 available. while the balance is not $0.00.

It seems like they have halted all transactions. I hope that's just temporary to update their software.
The exchanges should hire someone to deal with public communication not just personal support staff. These flaws would cause a lot less trouble if they would publish the causes and solutions of those flaws more quickly.
The crypto scene is quite nervous at the moment and any delays in publishing necessary information creates trouble.

My SEPA withdrawal page definitely does not show $0 available. Do you still experience the issue?

I made two withdrawals yesterday that show as finished, but are still not on the blockchain.

You didn't get a confirmation e-mail that shows the address you sent to?

I made a 2BTC deposit yesterday, figured that I can't handle the suspense of trading and tried to withdraw to 1M4DWwdVid6KM8jeamP3GgKBSadiBtfx1Q12 hours ago.

and multiple users, including myself, missing btc from btc-e withdrawals. i am waiting on 5.005 btc from btc-e over 12 hours ago..this problem may be btc protocol wide.

BTC-e did a wallet update last night and everything what was withdrawn during that period did not hit the blockchain. As of a few hours ago, withdrawals from btc-e are working fine though. Just waiting for them to send me the frigging coins from last night.

yes i knew about the wallet update. irregardless, my 5btc w/d took 10 hours to hit the blockchain, which it did 2.5 hours ago. now i am waiting to see coin, but nothing even pending, after 13 confirmations. https://blockchain.info/tx/072118b9bd470086f1c3e62a092672ba457139bdf20a0d2613e74a84810575cc

I am waiting for my BTC withdrawal from BTC-E an still nothing after 29 hours

Dear Bitstamp users

Bitstamp’s exchange software is extremely cautious concerning Bitcoin transactions. Currently it has suspended processing Bitcoin withdrawals due to inconsistent results reported by our bitcoind wallet, caused by a denial-of-service attack using transaction malleability to temporarily disrupt balance checking. As such, Bitcoin withdrawal processing will be suspended temporarily until a software fix is issued.

No funds have been lost and no funds are at risk.

This is a denial-of-service attack made possible by some misunderstandings in Bitcoin wallet implementations. These misunderstandings have simple solutions that are being implemented as we speak, and we're confident everything will be back to normal shortly.

Withdrawals which failed on the 10th and 11th of February will be canceled and the amounts added back to the customer account balances.

We will communicate any further developments regarding this issue.

Thank you for your understanding!

Best regards
Bitstamp team

That depends on how much the exchange-software relies on the tx-id in order to do its bookkeeping. It's perfectly possible to do bookkeeping without even caring about the tx-id. Or, in the case of MtGox, you could use the tx-id as the holy grail for your transaction-tracking, in which case you're fubar'ed. Especially today where someone seems to be rebroadcasting pretty much every transaction in the network with a different tx-id.
