Hi. I guess you have been accidentally banned by their anti-ddos system. You may login using tor or any other anonymizer or wait 24 hours before your ip block will expire.

DDoS ... that's why. Edit your host file.

edit the /etc/hosts file as root

That is becouse your antivirus program is blocking changes :)

You do not have permission to edit that file. Run Notepad as Administrator then open it as per the instruction below.

It may also be protected by anti-malware programs.

Made the edit. Won't let me on the website. Is a browser and/or OS restart necessary?

Down for us as well, we were logged in just 2.5 hours ago with no issue.
Perhaps they are experiencing a DDoS like sealswithclubs experienced recently ?.

They and Coinotron have been under attack for over 12 hours I would say.

Doesn't seem fair that coinotron is caught up in this, even if they do have a pool. Having a pool doesn't really count as anything.

which one of the files are you suppose to edit?

Forget about trying to access by IP. Seems that now ddos goes to both IP and DNS addresses. I'm able to access btc-e once in a while though.

True, but they don't care :)
It is sad that protection against ddos costs more than ordering an attack. :(

Still down for me. What about you guys?

Yeah, still down. It's really going on long now.

One tab open, host file modified, incognito used.

...cannot connect. If I cannot reliably access my account because they're in love with some new self promoted alt coin, then hello vircurex and bye-bye dummies.

Hmm...those VCX shares are looking a lot more attractive suddenly.

Use your friend's internet connection or vpn or tor and try to connect afterwards. Connectivity issues are somehow related to anti-ddos protection, most likely they have your ip address blacklisted. Either wait 24 hours before they get it removed from stop-list or change your IP somehow. And do not open too much tabs when you trade, seems like this may trigger anti-ddos to block you again.

You're absolutely correct. Had a friend log into my account from their connection and move my funds to my wallets. BTC-e can go fvck themselves until they become an exchange again and stop peddling their own homebrew altcoins.

Thanks for your help.

EDIT: Deleted posts...swell. ::)

To be honest one should always avoid modifying hosts file and use it only as last resort. It's DNS' responsibility to update IP addresses. You can try to use
Code:
ipconfig /flushdns
to clear you local dns cache. If it won't help just wait for dns records to update. It can take up to 24 hours if I recall correctly.


Title: Re: BTC-E still exist?
Post by: creativex on February 15, 2013, 08:47:52 PM
I realize this. The hostfile mod got me access to my own funds yesterday and was necessary.

Today they've changed their IP and remarking out the host file entry allows access. ::)

Accounts emptied...done with them.

It depends on the TTL setting used in their setup but that would be the standard time to use, apparently they could not be bothered using the disaster recovery method...

I don't get why coinotron is involved as well.

since there is not much help to make new pool then maybe there is someone who dont like competitor.

It's now working for me. Two days ago it worked for a bit, and I was able to withdraw everything. Yesterday, the whole site was down and I was just getting the cloudflare.

I'm still getting 502 errors. :-( Sometimes I get in, although the chat doesn't work, but then I click something and it's gone again.
