Title: BTC-E Post by: Durgolias on June 26, 2013, 05:11:16 PM Hi everybody
I'm concerned about not being able to reach btc-e.com even though http://isup.me/btc-e.com tells me the site should be available. Any suggestions what the problem might be?

I'm guessing if you try it again in a couple hours it will come up.
Title: Re: BTC-E Post by: Kipsy89 on June 26, 2013, 05:16:28 PM been down since i first checked this morn (maybe 1 hour ago)
wonder what is going on ??? :o Title: Re: BTC-E Post by: Durgolias on June 26, 2013, 05:40:52 PM A few hours ago it was still up and running and everybody was making fun of the other exchanges which are down. the irony..
I'm just hoping my funds are safe. Considering the fact that they did not announce any server maintenance or something similar resulting in downtime I'd guess it's a coordinated ddos attack on all exchanges in order to push the price down of maybe LTC before the launching on gox.. But in order to dump the price at least one exchange should be left running in order to actually dump the LTC. Any thoughts? Edit: I got this errormessage now: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS => ddos?

Title: Re: BTC-E Post by: BitcoinBoss on June 26, 2013, 07:15:58 PM Currently saying "Site is under maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience." which is odd because, as Durgolias said, nothing was scheduled. Given the DDoS attacks on other exchanges it makes me wonder if the same is happening to BTC-e.
Title: Re: BTC-E Post by: Shtankeh on June 26, 2013, 07:18:33 PM Has there been any more news about what is going on with BTC-e?
How am I supposed to procrastinate and avoid doing client work without trollbox?!? :'( Title: Re: BTC-E Post by: exogan on June 26, 2013, 07:25:25 PM It will get back up, don't worry.
Title: Re: BTC-E Post by: Koshi on June 26, 2013, 07:25:55 PM It has been down for a while today.
Title: Re: BTC-E Post by: Diamondstarfall on June 26, 2013, 07:26:41 PM Give them some time, it will be up soon. Go for a walk!
Title: Re: BTC-E Post by: anarchyx on June 26, 2013, 07:27:49 PM My vote it was DDOS ::)
Title: Re: BTC-E Post by: mprep on June 26, 2013, 07:33:59 PM From their site:
"Maintenance Site is under maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience" Title: Re: BTC-E Post by: LiteCoinGuy on June 26, 2013, 08:40:47 PM ... and dont save your coins there....(or any other online wallet) ::)
Title: Re: BTC-E Post by: Physical-LTC on June 26, 2013, 08:47:38 PM Im glad I dont stash coins there, but still down for me as well... hmmm, wonder why...
Title: Re: BTC-E Post by: martyj2009 on June 26, 2013, 09:11:33 PM Their website shows a maintenance message.
Considering how long it's been down I don't think it's something minor. It might just be hardware failure of some sorts. Time to restore server from a backup onto a new instance? Title: Re: BTC-E Post by: iram9053 on June 26, 2013, 09:47:30 PM Don't worry BTC-E is very professional. I'm sure your funds are safe. This thing is pretty normal to exchanges. This happen multiple times to btc-e and they back online with no problem.
Title: Re: BTC-E Post by: byobbbq on June 26, 2013, 11:03:08 PM btc-e back up as of 22:57 UTC
Title: Re: BTC-E Post by: Big Toe on June 27, 2013, 12:13:59 AM Btc-e goes down sometimes.
Title: Re: BTC-E Post by: AvaWoods on June 30, 2013, 04:15:04 PM For a clear explanation for anyone searching this..
People DDoS (take down a website) trading sites to manipulate prices. If people can't trade then the value of BTC gets affected. This way hackers can gain from this. |
