Anyone notice?  :o

Not really all day, last 8-9 hours. They are having some maintanance, not the first time

Yeah been down since most of the dump today.  Usually they are up pretty quick but must be some more serious maintenance this time. check their twitter for news.

Still Down?

Yup. Longest they've been down that I can remember.

Hmm. Not looking good. I think if they are doing just maintenance it should be done by now. Although this is not the first time that we are seeing it, this is the longest I have seen so far. There is a thread saying that is implying that the BTC-e might have been hacked. We don't know yet. But if this is true then, it will sent shockwaves across the community and it might impact the price in a negative way (although the price suddenly down right after BTC-e, maybe just a coincidence). What I don't like is that this is a unscheduled maintenance adding fuel to the already sensitive situation regarding a possible split in Aug 1. 

any update? still down here

Totally. Error 522.

Same here:

Error 522 Ray ID: 38446cf228f3776c • 2017-07-26 03:56:19 UTC
Connection timed out

This is an unusual downtime for btc-e.Usually they are down for just a couple of hours but now its taking too long and im wondering whats the problem on such downtime.Hopefully it wouldnt end their service. ;D

Btc-e is now down, and blockchain doesnt send me confirm link to login my account. I dont know how to send money now.

hmmmm still no news or update on their twitter from ten hours ago. i do hope eveyrhting is fine, bunch of us have funds there, so it is very concerning. thats for sure.

It is scam

Bye bye btc-e

shut up, donk !

They could at least update their Twitter a little more. There is a lot of money at stake here...

It stolen 66000 btc

Moved from btc-e to one wallet

It is finished

Proof?

I think he's referring to this one, but I'm not sure who owns this address:

https://blockchain.info/address/18f1yugoAJuXcHAbsuRVLQC9TezJ6iVRLp

this wallet is coinbase

aa I see, well that's good news. Let's hope they resume service today.

one can only hope  :(

Article tells us nothing, based on nothing more than the tweets we've already seen.

It's not looking good ..

Last update from BTC-E Twiter account= 18 h ago..

BTC-e is DONE !  ;)

On 072217 this was posted...

"Due to possible risks, from 25.07.2017 to 15.08.2017 we increase the number of confirmations required for Bitcoin deposit from 3 to 6 #btce"

Maybe this supports technical error.

the owner is in the police custody. what tech error? :)

BTE-e shit = DOWN for good

GOX PARTY >.<

In English: BTC-E is down for the next 5-10 days.

Wouldnt be a problem but.....


https://thebitcoinnews.com/alexander-vinnik-admin-btc-e-arrested-greece-4-billion-bitcoin-money-laundering/ - This is a reason to be scared.....

We're screwed... :-\

well, those who used BTC-e...you are one of them :)

After some research it looks like GOX..... lost 1000$ but okay :(


Contrary to the shit that you might hear....

For those without Twitter.

Update2: At the moment, work is underway to restore the service. Approximate terms from 5 to 10 days. Thank you for understanding #btce

That's because Vinnik was arrested in Greece for money laundering. So there  it'll be a long "waiting" period...

i am also one of the affected one. Btc-e has been with me for a long time. I didnt really keep my coins in btc for long but there is still a bit of coins left in there.

i have lot of money here but i got many news that site is shutdown

After this bust you really believe BTC-E will come online again??? What did MT.Gox write? we are back in some days please wait?^^ I think some guys are still waiting...

How do you know this?

I don't think this address is that of an entity that had it's funds seized by law enforcement though. It looks like they are splitting up their coins, possibly to prepare for an influx of customer withdrawals (and/or to process customer withdrawals).

I had some coins in there, don't remember how much, but some definitely there.  Did not expect that to happen to once a good BTC exchange. 

This should be forgotten for now, it is no longer a news but here is the screen shot.

I´m so fear of this situation, what can i do about this? would it be only a temporary measure?

No one really expected this to happen, otherwise people wouldn't leave their millions worth of crypto and fiat funds there. BTC-E was offering quite the bit of privacy people were looking for, but turns out, it came at a very high price. On the other hand, the lack of proper communication from BTC-E's side, zero licenses, in some cases even shady behavior, was something that should have made people move to other exchanges. In some cases exchanges do not deserve a second chance (Bitfinex fits in that category as well), and for that reason people shouldn't put themselves into an unnecessary risky position by making use of whatever platform BTC-E comes up with as alternative. If they ever going to return, withdraw what you can and close the BTC-E chapter for ever.
