I may be misremembering, but when MtGox was getting it in the neck for having this bug in their ridiculous terrible custom wallet implementation, someone asked "are there any reliable exchanges" and someone else answered "bitstamp".
Just goes to show, there's no use looking at a website (when that site is effectively a black-box) and judging its competency from a general vibe.

- jnbiche 13y agoI stand by that comment. I'm disappointed that Bitstamp didn't take this issue into account when designing their exchange, but unlike Gox, their communication about the issue has been very good, and my confidence in Bitstamp remains unshaken. Also, it appears that the Bitcoin network is under global attack by some large entity, so blame for the current exchange issues lie ultimately at the hands of some attacker who doesn't like Bitcoin, or wishes to plunge the price.
- pmorici 13y agoThe difference between Gox and BitStamp is pretty easy to see take Gox they have had constant problems the most recent of which has been this which has been going on for multiple weeks now and their reaction was we are just going to suspend all withdrawals indefinitely. On the other hand Bitstamp identified a problem within 24 hours of it starting to happen says they know how to fix it and will have everything back to normal shortly. Personally I'd rather have my money with the latter.
