Says nothing about how they will honor that 18000+ BTC loss.

A system being up does not make losses go away.

Time will tell on if my skepticism is right or wrong.

this relaunch is no sense if they won't solve their problems

I am curious if they still have their bank account opened and if the bank did't froze the funds

wow. look at this:

yes, someone is moving the funds. that guy is very rich now

[Majormax]

Do any of these situations end well? Gox, Vircurex, Cryptorush, Mintpal.

Only one that I know of: Poloniex was hacked but paid everyone back.

Add Paytunia to that list (there are other very small ones, Openex , Indiemarket etc) . I have used most exchanges that ever existed (28 different in all) and lost funds on many: that is a longer list !

I would say Poloniex handled their problem best of all. Complete frankness, and users were informed of the net amount they were owed, and that was carried forward on their balance, being paid down slowly from operating profit. I still use Poloniex and trust them as well as any.

Paytunia (Bitcoin-Central) repayed all losses, but stopped operating (so far).

Yesterday bitstamp announced they'll be back after 24h, today you hear they'll be back in 24-48h. There's a serious problem going on, next panic sell more likely to happen

the sells became since yesterday but the price didn't reflect that. very strange

[rokkyroad]

We won't see any "panic selling" till Bitstamp reopens. Then I'm sure some frustrated customers will cash out.

If Bitstamp remains closed prices may go up in the short term due to fewer btc on the market. Already we are seeing this. Long term prices will be down.

The stolen coins still remain a question.

If after they ReOpen all customer Withdraw BTC

sure they will collapse

I belive it will be up soon

[resya]

I wonder how much user trust will be damaged on bitstamp after this case. But if they recover, I think all people will have more trust like before

[lemfuture]

so we're not done with hacking era yet..aw

[Pustul]

They changed the temporary website design, that's something 

I really hope they are not buying time
