Coinfire Bitstamp update

[Rampion]

must be a joke..

a joke of 22,000 USD ?

hacker moving those for fun or stealing more?

Hardly stealing more. It's probably the same coins, being thrown around.
I don't think Bitstamp would leave their hot wallet automation on after the hack.

What automation?

Bitstamp has a hot wallet and it gets compromised: that just means that the hacker gets full control of those addresses. There is no way for Bitstamp to "disable" them, the best they can do is to tell people to stop sending coins to those addresses because a hacer has the private keys.

If a Bitstamp customer is not aware of the current situation and just sends BTC to an old deposit address he has in his address book there's nothing Bitstamo could do. Money would go to the hacker, especially if he is faster that Bitstamp and uses huge transactions fees to beat any double spending attempt by Bitstamp.

would someone really buy that many stolen coins for just 20% off? I doubt it

besides.. he should sign a message with the address if he really controls the keys.

Myself I think it's just a fake. We've had such trolls very often last time.

Stop comparing it to MtGox. That just shows, that you guys have no idea, what you are talking about.
I am not 100% sure, but there is no evidence that would suggest, that customers will have to pay for that incident.

In business the customers always pay eventually. When I was operating my business and my electric rate went up or delivery costs went up my prices went up. That's the nature of business and why a McDonalds hamburger isn't still 15 cents.

In your case, it was your future customers that ended up needing to pay higher prices. They were also notified of such changes ahead of time.

In the case of stamp it will be their existing customers that will pay the piper

Ok, so? Someone has to pay and in business it's always the customer.

yes, the customers will pay the price for trusting the Bitstamp's platform.
I am very curious to see if they will really open tomorrow IF not, a big fiasco will begin.

It will be MtGox 2 or reloaded(as you prefer)

If they do open it will be to the worst bank run in the history of Bitcoin.  

Hold on, elections are coming to Greece in a couple of weeks.

What do elections in Greece have to do with the bitstamp hack?

He mentioned about the worst bank run in the history.

I believe the worst bank run is coming in Greece after electing SYRIZA party.

Explain more?

I thought only that address was their hot wallet. Nevermind.
