    @hodlway1 @BTCGandalf Halifax OK, but broke my ***** twice for <5k transfers to crypto exchanges (account suspended temporarily, spent an hour waiting/explaining to cust service). Revolut much better, no issues at all. Just make sure yr exchange accepts incoming from revolut (bitstamp does, blockfi no

  • Thomas02182018 Thomas (@Thomas02182018) reported

    @Bitstamp If it was scheduled, why don't you send an email ahead of maintenance? I've logged in only an hour before and all of a sudden service is down. Not good.

  • hsadrpanah HS (@hsadrpanah) reported

    @CoinbaseSupport Bye Bye, Coin base! My bank finally recovered my money you lost! Closed my account immediately... :) Back to Bitstamp that has decent telephone support and customer service.

  • exarepea Tim Betz (@exarepea) reported

    @Bitstamp @StellarOrg Is/has @StellarOrg come out and said anything about this issue ?

  • susietrader Crypto Granny (@susietrader) reported

    Some of the Stellar blockchain network's nodes went offline this week, resulting in transaction disruptions. Bitstamp said Tuesday that it temporarily stopped deposits and withdrawals of XLM, Stellar's native token, in light of the issues.

    Man, when will @Bitstamp @BitstampSupport stop with including my whole goddamn name in every single email. Even e-mails which states API changes, **** off stop it.

  • haydentiff 𝚃𝚒𝚏𝚏𝚊𝚗𝚢 𝙷𝚊𝚢𝚍𝚎𝚗 (@haydentiff) reported

    @CalculatedRisk4 @Bitstamp @StellarOrg There isn’t an issue with Stellar. The issue is with exchanges relying on Stellar’s infrastructure & Ripple’s infrastructure and stopping withdrawals and deposits if validators from those 2 entities go down. Why bother pretending to be decentralized if only Stellar/Ripple matter?

  • jd617_ jd (@jd617_) reported

    @CoinbaseSupport It’s been 28hrs on pending though what do you mean... @CoinbaseSupport if you knew the network was down why would you let everyone withdraw and deposit just to have it sit in pending all week @Bitstamp halted everything

  • Boulanger888 Francois Boulanger (@Boulanger888) reported

    Better to have BTC’s managed by a reliable exchange like Bitstamp, Coinbase, Huobi, or to use a LEDGER ? Having the BTC managed by an exchange is quite useful. But how about security ? Can there be a problem when transferring the access to my BTC from an exchange to the LEDGER ?

  • sandro410 sandro taruchaladze (@sandro410) reported

    @CryptoSolomon_ @xrpartisan @xxmikecheckxx That only happend on bitstamp and was a liquidity issue, also a flashcrash that lasted probably a nanosecond on a 1 minute chart doesn’t change the vertical trajectory of the chart mate.

  • bougatsas1 ₿ougatsas (@bougatsas1) reported

    @RichardTassler @DudeJLebowski sent 4k to bitstamp & 10k to revolut. Bank account now suspended. On the phone with cust service for 20mins, need 20 more to get through to another dept

  • cryptoaudette Cryptoaudette (@cryptoaudette) reported

    @Bitstamp Still not ready to #relistxrp? If binance does before you you’ll have a lot of US customers jump ship. I don’t want to, your extremely secure and easy to use but it’s down right silly to not have stepped up and done what’s right.

  • blueroseduo Rosa Siciliana 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇮🇹🎤🎵🎹🎼 (@blueroseduo) reported

    @KingGregarious @Bitstamp I have a stupid bitstamp account with XRP funds, does anyone know how I get my money? These ******* idiots won't help me get my money, and is this legal?

  • phillychee2 phillychee (@phillychee2) reported

    @nejc_kodric Bitstamp still owes me my XLM funds 🙄 they unilaterally closed my support ticket and turned it into a complaint.. is this common practice?🤔

  • ONLYLONGS THATSLIFE (@ONLYLONGS) reported

    Never mind, only the Bitstamp' charts aren't working

  • sinjunsmyth Nayer Malik (@sinjunsmyth) reported

    Bitstamp is down!?!

  • CalculatedRisk4 CalulatedRisk (@CalculatedRisk4) reported

    @haydentiff @Bitstamp @StellarOrg If there is a legit issue with stellar then why bring up XRP?

  • erikblokland Erik Blokland (@erikblokland) reported

    @Bitstamp Hi @Bitstamp, it seems that you also have an issue with US trades of $XRP. Since beginning January, its not possible to trade #XRP anymore on Bitstamp, and recently it became publicly known that there's no clear reason for it as well. Any chance that issue will be solved soon?

  • xrptoolkit XRP Toolkit (@xrptoolkit) reported

    @moveValuefast Anyone can issue any asset. USD issued by Bitstamp and GateHub are no different from USDC. Backed by dollar deposits held off-ledger.

  • jjang63 Kelly_Rah (@jjang63) reported

    @Bitstamp @Stellar_AT @StellarOrg What's the problem resolved?

  • cryptoholicer Cryptoholicer (@cryptoholicer) reported

    @PbuzzXr @Ripple @Bitstamp They are down now !

  • phillychee2 phillychee (@phillychee2) reported

    @nejc_kodric Hi Nejc. Please arrange a technical investigation on my Bitstamp ticket BIT-933385. My funds were deducted from my balance without ever leavening Bitstamp according to the public ledger. Support has not been able to help so far..

  • enver_sariomer enver sarıömeroğlu (@enver_sariomer) reported

    @Bitstamp @Cointelegraph @onceatraveler let's buy BITTORRENT together ... let's triple our earnings this weekend ... what do you say ... let's support BITTORRENT ... !!

  • pippedtodeath John (@pippedtodeath) reported

    @Bitstamp where do XRP holders check re: their FLR holdings? I had mine on bitstamp during the snapshot but haven’t heard word 1 from support about it...

  • harrywhodoneit1 Stephen#D#XRP⛳ (@harrywhodoneit1) reported
