Title: Both Poloniex and YoBit are down!
Post by: spartak_t on June 06, 2016, 01:50:52 PM
It's not surprising that YoBit are not tweeting about their issue, but it is strange for Poloniex! Are they both under DDoS attack or we are facing Armageddon here?

I wonder if they both use the same hosting and data centre providers? Yobit is back up now BTW

Highly unlikely.

Highly unlikely.

So they both got DDoSed at the same time instead? But why? It's not like Yobit is a big centre for ether trading or anything.

Poloniex: "There is a widespread datacenter outage affecting connectivity of several servers. Coins are safe."
YoBit: "Ddos, all systems are ok now. We apologize for the long delay."

Althogh it was far from altcoin armageddon, exchanges have no excuse when they go offline. What kind of an online exchange allows that to happen? That's a red flag in my book. Albeit a minor one, but still a red flag. They should do better.
