Bitstamp problem is on the news : http://www.cnbc.com/id/10230975412 hours without any update ! Ask your money back by bank wire. They must have the money in their bank account. Do not be passive as you were with Mt.Gox. Claim your money back. Almost all the deposits were made by bank wire to Bitstamp so they have your money ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Bitstamp maintains more than enough offline reserves to cover the compromised bitcoins. " There is probably nothing to worry about. Time will tell I suppose.

Time will tell I suppose. let's say these are the facts. is it hard to write another update? there are many people who are waiting few words. also, i don't blame anybody who is worried because MTgox felt almost in the same way.

Sure if I had coins in Bitstamp I would be worried too. IF Bitstamp are telling the truth everything will be ok. Time will tell.

Who keeps his/her coins on an exchange anyway... well I got a mail from bitstamp: Dear customer,
Today our transaction processing server detected problems with our hot wallet and stopped processing withdrawals.
You should STOP SENDING bitcoin deposits to your Bitstamp account IMMEDIATELY as private keys of your deposit address may be lost.
Your bitcoins already deposited with us are stored in a cold wallet and can not be affected.
We will send you more info as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Bitstamp team
as I dont keep my coins on an exchange I didnt bother to login and check.

That remains to be seen. If they are telling the truth and they have the funds to cover all customer Bitcoin (and don't take 6 months to return it to people) then they have handled it very well indeed.

They mention a cold storage supply to reimburse users if they do not act on this it will kill their business.

Most of the people are depositing by bank wire so, Bitstamp has the money as fiat currency. Let's say the BTC from Bitstamp wallets disappear, the BTC is backed by real money(at least 90% from it)

Do any of these situations end well? Gox, Vircurex, Cryptorush, Mintpal.
Only one that I know of: Poloniex was hacked but paid everyone back.

please tell that to Mt Gox clients who lost A LOT of money.
People like you came at that time saying that "someone is spreading FUD".
I am just saying that Bistamp's clients must claim their money back. Their money are into Bitstamp's bank account. They don't have to be passive as they were with MTgox.
They must react from the first moment an exchanger is "down" for a "hacking" problem.
