Title: Bitstamp down?
Post by: the_thing on September 12, 2012, 11:02:39 PM
Can't connect to Bitstamp. Anyone having the same problem?
According to bitcoincharts, the last transaction was made over an hour ago.

I wonder what's going on. I hope it's not something similar to the recent Bitfloor crash.

It is getting a redirect to itself.  That would be like a denial-of-service attack.

But that could have been an accidental setting change, a misconfigured error page, etc. Who knows.

Bitstamp has been back up for at least six minutes now. My account is just as I would expect.
