Title: [announce] World Bitcoin Exchange....LIVE AGAIN Post by: Andre Jensen (World Bitcoin Exchange) on October 28, 2011, 12:00:34 PM Hi all,
I will keep you updated as information comes to hand. We're back up after a server error. Andre Title: Re: [announce] World Bitcoin Exchange....DOWN Post by: caston on October 28, 2011, 01:30:40 PM OK I had just sent you a PM.
Glad to see you are onto it. Title: Re: [announce] World Bitcoin Exchange....DOWN Post by: Coinabul on October 28, 2011, 06:38:40 PM What is the technical difficulty?
Title: Re: [announce] World Bitcoin Exchange....DOWN Post by: dooglus on October 28, 2011, 09:49:15 PM What is the technical difficulty? It's a filesystem corruption issue. We will have to restore from backup. It appears that this was a hardware failure. The bitcoin wallet wasn't compromised. Title: Re: [announce] World Bitcoin Exchange....DOWN Post by: Andre Jensen (World Bitcoin Exchange) on October 28, 2011, 10:32:36 PM Hi all,
The filesystem holding the exchange data became corrupted shortly after the nightly backup. We are working to restore everything. Any actions you took on the exchange after the backup will be rolled back. Any orders you placed, orders you cancelled, or trades you made will have been undone. Fortunately no BTC or AUD deposits or withdrawals were carried out after the backup. After the exchange has completed it's back up, it will be brought up in a frozen state. This prevents any trades being carried out, in order to allow you to cancel any orders that you don't want to have left in the orderbook. We're hoping to have everything back up by this afternoon (Saturday 29th), but can't promise anything. Check back for updates as we have them.

The order matching won't start happening until 9pm server time, to give users a chance to cancel any outstanding orders. The price hasn't moved significantly while the exchange was down, but it seems only polite to give people a chance to cancel orders that they may not have intended to leave on the exchange.
