I am a believer in giving people and companies the opportunity to learn from their mistakes. When Bitstamp went dark during their network/banking issues a couple of weeks ago, I was more than happy to give them the benefit of the doubt. But today, inbound and outbound Bitcoin transactions are broken at Bitstamp. Not a tweet, not a post, not an update - nothing. They couldn't even manage "Having issues with #bitcoin transactions, we're looking into it". Instead, like last time, they go dark, preferring to just shut everyone out. I will be watching this carefully, but as someone who trades hundreds of thousands of dollars every month through Bitstamp, I am evaluating other options. This is another double failure for Bitstamp. One of technology, one of communication.
