Title: Re: Is BTC-E under attack? 6/26/13 Post by: woodrake on June 26, 2013, 04:17:44 PM It is down for me, and I've checked from other locations. Further, the Cryptsy Trollbox is saying it is down too (and trolling that they've run off with the cash of course ;) ).
I recon this is definitely an attack. The Web server is listening (hence why downforeveryoneorjustme.com is saying it is up - pretty shit site if you ask me) but it is not responding to request, suggesting a DDoS: Code: Lair-mini:Mining kate$ telnet btc-e.com 80 Title: Re: Is BTC-E under attack? 6/26/13 Post by: ph111 on June 26, 2013, 04:22:02 PM Down for me trolls and now Ddos, fuckin clowns everywhere !!!!
Title: Fighting DDoSes (Re: Is BTC-E under attack? 6/26/13) Post by: woodrake on June 26, 2013, 04:37:26 PM Down for me trolls and now Ddos, fuckin clowns everywhere !!!! We need some weaponry to fight these DDoSers! Although its obviously a botnet you can still take them out by DoSing them right back again. If someone can come up with a mechanism to fight back (would need CloudFlare or whoever to DoSing IPs available ) I will commit to making 250 Mbps of outbound traffic (UDP or TCP) available from my UK datacentres, and depending how it went we could easily increase that to 1Gbps+. Is that even feasible? Would be awesome if we could, esp if we crowdsourced a lot of bandwidth. It could even be integrated into a coin... Kate.

Title: Re: Is BTC-E under attack? 6/26/13 Post by: mirny on June 26, 2013, 05:48:00 PM Site is under maintenance at the moment shown on page.
Title: Re: Is BTC-E under attack? 6/26/13 Post by: harposox on June 26, 2013, 05:51:04 PM According to BTC-e's Twitter feed:
"btc-e down" No other details provided. https://twitter.com/btcecom/status/349931698261200897 Title: Re: Is BTC-E under attack? 6/26/13 Post by: btceic on June 26, 2013, 06:08:22 PM delisting cnc?
Title: Re: Is BTC-E under attack? 6/26/13 Post by: btceic on June 26, 2013, 06:46:42 PM No, that doesn't shut the site down. they may have brought it down to delist + maint. Title: Re: Is BTC-E under attack? 6/26/13 Post by: bitdigger2013 on June 26, 2013, 08:15:56 PM I was on BTC-e a few minutes before it went down. You could buy BTC at 97.xx and on MT Gox it was in the 102.xx - 103.xx range.
I have never deposit USD to buy BTC and I was trying to do this when the site went down. I am still new to Bitcoins but it seems that the spread between BTC-e and MT Gox was large...is this normal? This could be a reason it is down at the moment.

Bitdigger2013 nothing new read the ANN mt posted you cant cash out usd on mt right now. so loads btc goes to other exchange and changes to usd which pushes the price down and also btc-e usd deposit cost more then others a lot of reasons why there are gaps between all exchange Title: Re: Is BTC-E under attack? 6/26/13 Post by: Queezy on June 26, 2013, 08:19:41 PM I was on BTC-e a few minutes before it went down.

Bitdigger2013 I wouldn't consider that a large spread, it is usually off by a few dollars. I believe most people blame this on the difficulty/tx fees of getting money onto and off of the seperate exchanges. Could be wrong tho =) Title: Re: Is BTC-E under attack? 6/26/13 Post by: bitdigger2013 on June 26, 2013, 08:29:37 PM Thanks, good to know this is a normal spread.
Lucky for me it went down I would of ended up (if I figured out how) to deposit there so I could buy there transfer to Mt Gox and convert back to USD...but your right it was NOT that easy and many fees associated. Still have much research to do on how to buy BTC and then sell back for USD.

Besides, it means they are functioning. Their normal DDOS just blasts them off the internet and you get nothing when you try to load them. Title: Re: Is BTC-E under attack? 6/26/13 Post by: worldinacoin on June 26, 2013, 09:35:00 PM Web site displays under maintenance with no news on when it will be up :(
Title: Re: Is BTC-E under attack? 6/26/13 Post by: Vince Torres on June 26, 2013, 10:22:36 PM delisting cnc? Possible this.Title: Re: Is BTC-E under attack? 6/26/13 Post by: btceic on June 26, 2013, 10:46:09 PM That was possible if it was down for an hour, maybe, but all day, nope. Title: Re: Is BTC-E under attack? 6/26/13 Post by: RyNinDaCleM on June 26, 2013, 10:57:15 PM They're back
Title: Re: Is BTC-E under attack? 6/26/13 Post by: harposox on June 26, 2013, 10:58:22 PM BTC-e.com is back up as of 6pm CT, and appears none the worse for wear.
Title: Re: Is BTC-E under attack? 6/26/13 Post by: ninjarobot on June 26, 2013, 11:19:42 PM Working fine again. Nothing has changed. Decided to pull out whatever (little) funds I had there for now. These things scare me :)
