Title: Bitfinex latency
Post by: johnnycash70 on December 06, 2017, 09:46:09 AM
Hi

does somebody as well have latency by using Bitfinex?

Doesnt matter if i try to open a chart nor my wallet. Sometimes its loading not the full page (parts of the website like the chart) or it takes really long.

I heard that at the moment a lot of people rushing the crpyto markets. maybe thats why.

They should upgrade their server maybe.

Nope, it's smooth as silk for me. It might be your own internet connection. Depending on where you're from and what your speed/bandwith is, could hugely impact on how certain sites are loaded.

Try running http://www.speedtest.net/, and see what your own ping actually is, it might be the reason.

I donīt think it is his internet connection. Bitfinex has been subject to a DDoS attack since 1-2 days.
Other exchanges have been affected as well.

You can read this on their Twitter feed:
Quote
Bitfinex has been under significant denial-of-service attack for the past several days.
The attack has recently worsened. Please monitor https://bitfinex.statuspage.io/  for ongoing updates.

According to the statuspage the page is running fine now after experiencing several outages yesterday.
