Bitstampt suspend Bitcoin withdrawals

[minerpart]

can someone explain to me, does this mean MtGox arent full of shit? ..... but hold on havent BTC-e already sorted the problem?

Gox are full of shit as this problem has been known by the industry for 2 years and they made out like they discovered a 'bug'. It's not a bug it's an exploitable aspect of transaction tagging.

Now that the wider hacker community have heard about it they are having a laugh with the BTC Network. They could have had this laugh at any point in the last 2 years but they weren't aware of the details.

remember Chinese exchange Okcoin also announced a system upgrade few hours ago. It's no surprise to me that no one would like to admit their fault, neither Mtgox/Bitstamp nor Bitcoin core dev team

interesting how everything coincides. I think some insiders construct the last dip to load up on rockbottom before the moonrocket. I will use the time to get some other things done until this circus is resolved and everything is back to normal and 950$ by the weekend

[jongameson]

all i know is i'm putting some $200 limit orders this weekend

If i would own such exchange i would pretent to have problems and suspend withdraws to buy up bitcoins cheap and announce end of problems immidiatly after it

BTW why bitcoin community can't code an open source bitcoin exchange engine? It would let people create more exchanges and by law of selection some would become successfull and more people would be interested in solving such technical problems because it would hit bitcoin valuation...

Seriously!  

We have so many skilled profesionals here who can do it. They also own bitcoins so it is in interest of all to prevent such stupid events to happen. Bitcoin family! Yes, we can't?

P.S. I'm happy that so many problems happened at once... when bitcoin will recover there will be less bad info to affect it later

BTW have you heard about Singapore's laws for bitcoin? It is accepted there. I hope someone legit will start selling physical gold for it. This would be huge event and game changer

Because 99% of the people are not ready to put their asses on the line for btc

I thought we are here that special 1% part of humanity!

The 'sheep' part of the population gets affected by this, even though they clearly said (and we are expecting) a fix before the weekend. Why would there be any reason to panic, consider it a smaller delay in the withdrawal.
Oh well, cheaper coins incoming.

Should be resolved within a few days , I'm not too worried about it. Good time to buy coins in the meantime.
