Is Bter down for everyone else also?

I haven't been able to access it since last night and now I'm getting a bit worried, having quite a bit of currency in there right now.

Does anybody have any idea what happened? Or maybe words of reassurance?

I can't access it either.  But its been down like this a few times before.  They don't like to give warnings when they're taking the site down for changes.  Last time they took it down they completely changed the coin selection interface. 

Well they have some competition now so hopefully they have some good updates..

oh no, i have many btc on bter

If it doesn't come back up, do we realistically have any recourse? I mean, what could really be done about all the lost currency?

Calm down, new guy, it'll be back

same here

i thought you quit this part of forum

I thought you could read. Guess we were both wrong

Not Work :o

i guess i didnt move down my scroll for your thread  :P

It's up for me now. Anyone else?

still down here

EDIT its up just took nearly a minute to load

up

again down!  >:(

down, went down like 2 hrs ago. still down.

Someone changed the DNS for bter.com to point to 127.0.0.1:
~$ dig bter.com

TTL maybe changed to 500days too? :)

anybody got in touch with support via email?

send him 2 emails.
not answers.

up! they better learn to keep customers update with twitter or something though.

crap down again.

Maybe they realized any YACs stored there since day 1 are going to start to generate Stake soon and that they should do someting about it. :o

fire up the barbecue?

and vircurex down too! who's next?

Oh boy

its a common practice to set the DNS records to localhost while the server undergoes maintenance?

Did anyone have contact with the dev's yet?

Cryptsy is up :) (I know shameless plug) www.cryptsy.com

How long is this going to be down??

What's wrong Pussycat?

Indeed coinchoose needs to stop using Cryptsy, it's an invitation to pump and dump.  With both Bter and Vcx down Cryptsy now controls the price of most of the coins listed on coinchoose.  I looks like Phoenix coin is the one currently being pumped, it's tippled in value in just the last 6 hours which coincides quite nicely with the other exchanges going down.

i can access now my account on bter.com but i don't see any of my coins all my balance is zero...OMG do i need to email them now? or wait for the site to fully fix because i think there is still a problem on the site.

refresh couple times, no work? email then

Why stop using cryptsy.com if the highest price is currently on cryptsy? I think most of the folks talking it down have yet to do a trade there. My guess is you'll be surprised how much you like it especially if your on Bter exclusively right now.

I can access bter via proxy but not my regular connection, makes me a little bit suspicious, can anyone else confirm if they see the same?

Any updates?

bter is working for me.
if not, try ip:
https://173.242.117.143/

Can anyone else confirm this?

I can confirm that Im logged in via my own personal proxy and my coins are there, but cant login or even get the site without a proxy.

working as normal for me at https://bter.com
