Nono, all bitcoins ever mined have been stolen, even those which have been stolen previously are now stolen again!

I just hope and pray that my 6000 bitcoins there at bitstamp weren´t among

those stolen

Isn't that address is bitstamp cold wallet
They said they already moved all customer bitcoin to their cold wallet

Hope what i heard is true

Their cold wallet would hold A LOT more than 18,000 BTC.

Customer deposits made prior to January 5th, 2015 9:00 UTC are fully covered by Bitstamp’s reserves.

This corresponds well with timestamp of last transactions for 18k address, so this seems to be Bitstamp cold storage.

no it doesnt. 2 more transactions after that.

It takes 6 blocks to confirm.

After 9:00 UTC, these are:

337587   16b31eefe6...   2015-01-05 10:11:44 6
337586   16ff08b25a...   2015-01-05 10:04:46 5
337585   16465ee71b...   2015-01-05 09:52:23 4
337584   12006e66ec...   2015-01-05 09:46:56 3
337583   7730199b94...   2015-01-05 09:27:59 2
337582   ac693e4185...   2015-01-05 09:18:58 1
337581   6b1fd11dad...   2015-01-05 09:00:15

So transactions sent in block 337581 (up to 9:00:15) could only have been received by 10:11:44

Bitstamp has been around for a while, this would look bad if it's true.  Another piece of bad publicity for cryptocoin.

no. it doesnt work like that.

that transaction was included in block 337588.

...


also I noticed random miner fees included with transactions. some transactions got random 0.1~0.5 btc fees, another one 1 btc!

someone was in a hurry.

[batou]

They had to have been sent by 9:00 (337581 block) to source address, to be able to be sent (from source) to 18k address at block 337588.

All the transfers to that address have insanely high fees not just that transaction.

Fucking disaster.

[Watoshi-Dimobuto]

Someone posted this address in a comment on some article. He said that was the address where his bitcoins were sent to. from his bitstamp address. (something like that).

The rumor machine hasn´t even bothered to shift to second gear

so it´s most likely just a storm in a teacup.

Hope what i heard is true

Their cold wallet would hold A LOT more than 18,000 BTC.

If you trust the auditor, "Bitstamp proved its ownership of 183,497.40310794 BTC to Bitcoin developer Mike Hearn."

It seems this audit was end of Aug / Start of Sept 2014, if done around the same time as Huobi. But I can't see exactly when the audit was.


If this is a loss of some kind, then it is ~10% of all BTC Bitstamp had.

That 18k BTC wallet could also be Bitstamp moving coins around or to safety, where's the proof those coins are in the hands of the supposed hacker?
