Oh gosh how hard is it :p. Mining, donations, sold stuff online, investments, payment for freelance work. Yes, a few sentences covers it.
They don't even ask for proof of where the funds come from, they just ask where they origin from. Big difference.
Agree with that part til 100%. Bitstamp should give more information on what happens with the passport scans, replies to questionaires etc.
Haha, sorry dude, just forget it. We won't be able to convince them... guess there are quite a few people in here that got burned badly on gox and are now a bit paranoid.
The difference is, the gox problems were completely obvious a long time before it all came crashing down, just look at the huge thread of delayed withdrawals MONTHS before they actually shut down.
That is what an exchange in trouble looks like, not this wet fart of impotent rage about Bitstamp's somewhat anal KYC procedures...
