It's been hinted that Stormpay may not be able to service large withdrawal requests, and I wouldn't be surprised: considering there's such a diverse number of members, many with small balances that are probably not worth withdrawing, what are the chances that Stormpay will ever have to come up with the sum total of the members funds all at once? Virtually nil. Stormpay are probably making a very comfortable profit on their overpriced fees, but digging into the members funds would be a goldmine.
