I had like 5-6 dollars in there. I win again, as I moved my coins out of there like a week ago.

Hope you didn't move them to gox cause after their cooldown that wouldn't be much of a win

There was an announcement near the top of their page all day today saying they will have scheduled maintenance... that might be why the site is down.

Close, I moved them to bitfinex for some lending to earn interest and possibly try to earn a bit by trading. But note I said again that is because I moved my coins from bitcoin-24 prior to all the problems, as users were saying SEPA took forever, i.e first signs of trouble.

Not sure where you're located or what day you're on, but they've had announcements two days in a row for separate maintenance windows.

Yeah I remember that being added. It's a good idea. I'm a big advocate of the exchanges starting to plan for downtime so they can check everything calmly.

Yeah a planned maintenance with few days heads up time or hell make it a weekly think like every sat for one hour. Don't announce it 15min before ninja maintenance
