Title: Bitinstant failed again... Post by: opentoe on March 22, 2013, 07:23:30 PM Every place I've tried today to buy bitcoins has failed. Coinbase this morning and now even Bitinstant. This is the error I get from their system:
500 - internal error An internal error has occurred and the server can not handle your request. If you were attempting to perform a transaction then please contact support immediately for assistance. Technical details of the error have already been recorded by our system and will be analysed as soon as possible.

Are these places put together with bubble gum and duct tape? Title: Re: Bitinstant failed again...

This is the error I get from their system: Scalability doesn't have to be hard, but developers tend to concentrate on making things work, not making thing scale.
