Title: PREEV down?
Post by: The Arcitect on March 17, 2016, 09:57:58 PM
Anyone else notice that preev.com is down?


Heroku | No such app

There is no app configured at that hostname.
Perhaps the app owner has renamed it, or you mistyped the URL.

Yes, Preev is down.
Just type in google "15$ bitcoin" or whatever amount and it will be converted

Yesterday I noticed preev.com was very inaccurate, showing like 30 dollars higher value than bitcoinaverage.com.
I'm hoping the maintenance will fix that again, it's a lot shorter to type.

Yes I checked it and noticed it showing $437 when everywhere else was showing $25 less. I think this site is over since maintenance costing them money and thy arr not getting anything for running this site.

http://bitkoin.io/ is a just as fine alternative while Heroku gets their shit together.

Looks down from my end as well. This isn't the first time this week I've been having issues with Preev either. A few days ago I was trying to look at the price of bitcoin in currencies other than USD, and it just wouldn't load for me, regardless of what network I was on (Wi-Fi or cellular).

Another suggestion for watching the bitcoin price would be Bitcoin Wisdom (https://bitcoinwisdom.com/) as well - it gives a lot more information than Preev, plus you can see the prices at various different exchanges.

That is fine but it does not show all the exchanges and what their alternative prices are. Bitstamp, bitfinex, etc.

Same here in my side of the world, preev is down and domain is still active as I checked domain tools. Domain name is valid until June 2016. There might be some updates on site and owner might add something to generate revenue from it.

I do not think so. This Heroku error have occurred to me several time before. When the site is back, there is not much of a change. For many years, preev.com remain "free" - at least from my point of view.

I'm guessing it's down for maintainance, and if the service becomes paid, I don't mind paying a little for such a good service as preev. Maybe it would be a sort of incentive for more improvments of the site.

Apparently; I tried it out earlier and it worked. Not sure what's going on now though.

Confirmed that Preev is down right now at this moment, I am generally surprised. I have not had one issue Preev since I have used it. It is very strange that it is down like this. I hope this issue is resolved quickly. It is my preferred my website to check bitcoin exchange rates.

They were having some problems as others reported some of the conversation to other currencies weren't working and therefore they must taken it off to fix some bugs, should be back soon I reckon.

You can use these alternatives:

I hope it has not shut down and is just down. They should have written "Maintainence mode" but hope it's back soon as I keep referring to this website a lot. Will need to check bitstamp till preev.com is not back.

Considering how many people know the site, I would expect them to place some advertising on it. Not too much to scare people away, just enough to make it worth their effort.


Title: Re: PREEV down?
Post by: The Arcitect on March 18, 2016, 03:52:37 PM
It is back up now. But are the numbers right?
Showing $407 and $408 bitstamp for me  :-[

Atleast it looks the same with no advertisements to be seen.  :-*

Same here. The website is opening fine for me. The rate I check the euro is also showing the correct kraken.com value.
Perhaps the server needed a reboot.
