Title: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: whothefuckareyou on October 19, 2011, 03:54:53 PM Can Anyone Confirm ?
Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: BitcoinPorn on October 19, 2011, 03:57:09 PM It's not just you! http://tradehill.com looks down from here (http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/tradehill.com).
http://tradehillblog.com/ still up. Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: epetroel on October 19, 2011, 03:59:00 PM Yeah, I posted something over in trading discussion as well:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=49012.0 Seems like the API is up though. Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: evoorhees on October 19, 2011, 04:01:26 PM Buy and sell orders are still occurring, nothing looks fishy on that side.
Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: nmat on October 19, 2011, 04:07:32 PM Buy and sell orders are still occurring, nothing looks fishy on that side. My bot is still running. Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: worldinacoin on October 19, 2011, 05:10:01 PM The blog and the site seems to be located at different servers.
Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: JeffK on October 19, 2011, 05:25:55 PM The fact that they are smart enough to put the web interface and backend of the exchange on separate servers or at least separated services puts them miles ahead of every other exchange.
Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: evoorhees on October 19, 2011, 05:28:00 PM It's back up.
Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: JeffK on October 19, 2011, 05:30:24 PM It's back up. Still getting timeouts here and at http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/tradehill.com Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: bitcon on October 19, 2011, 05:35:07 PM back up!
wish they would post updates here or on their blog / facebook regarding the reasons for the outage. Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: JeffK on October 19, 2011, 05:37:53 PM back up! Clear your caches, check again. Unless tradehill is making some analogy joke, in which case: well played, boys. Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: ShadowOfHarbringer on October 20, 2011, 12:43:28 PM Anyhow, site is back up. We had an issue with the server. It’s fixed now and we are happy to circle back with an update on what the problem was once we have 100% clarity on the issue. Regards, Adam Stradling Quote from: https://www.tradehill.com/ 502 Bad Gateway nginx/0.8.54 Looks down from here. Just decide: are you going to be the next big scam exchange or not ? BTW, I am really tired of scammers fucking with my favourite currency. Can't people just start making serious buisnesses based on Bitcoin instead of being annoying ? Satoshi (whoever he is) gave us the greatest possible gift, which could liberate us from the central banks, and look what do we do with it. Scams. Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ???

Tradehill: Can't you post updates (on your blog) about how the server repairs are coming, for Christ's sake ? I checked yesterday and TH.com was down, exactly as it is today. We can't we behave like serious people instead of pissing on each other ? How do you expect this currency to be EVER taken seriously if you run your buisness like this ? Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: bitleaker on October 20, 2011, 03:27:53 PM Maybe they've realised that they have been hacked?
Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: nmat on October 20, 2011, 03:29:49 PM Maybe they've realised that they have been hacked? They were doing updates last night. Give them some time. Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: ShadowOfHarbringer on October 20, 2011, 03:35:51 PM Maybe they've realised that they have been hacked? They were doing updates last night. Give them some time. That is not an excuse for a serious financial institution. Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: Deafboy on October 20, 2011, 03:42:03 PM If serious stock exchange was unavailable for such a long time, it would be in news all over the world...
Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on October 20, 2011, 03:46:21 PM I thought the links in their sig were clickable at one time:
TradeHill - One of the largest Bitcoin exchanges. tradehill.com tradehillblog.com bitcoin.com facebook.com/tradehill twitter.com/tradehill Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: bitleaker on October 20, 2011, 03:52:16 PM And it's back up again.
Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: modrobert on October 20, 2011, 03:53:25 PM So, Tradehill is going Downhill. (lame joke, couldn't resist)
If Tradehill was a "serious stock exchange" controlled by the same bank mafia mesh of companies as those generally are, I wouldn't have an account there to begin with. Considering the low profit margins Tradehill have, give them some time to fix it before complaining. However, I wish they would be more open about what happened, maybe we can help. Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: ElectricMucus on October 20, 2011, 03:55:10 PM Seriously people it would be wise not to hold anything you wouldn't want to exchange immediately at any third party. Yes it could be too late for tradehill users, but lets say this a 'bank run' would be the best thing to happen with bitcoin right now.
I know I don't trust btc-e for example. ::) Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: Jered Kenna (TradeHill) on October 20, 2011, 06:31:08 PM Quick update:
We're currently being DDOS'd. We made a few changes and brought the site back online but were attacked again. We're working on it and will make an announcement when we have more information. Thanks for your patience while we work this out. Regards, Jered P.S. I'll be at the San Francisco meetup tonight if anyone is going. Edit: currently back up Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ??? Post by: BitcoinPorn on October 20, 2011, 06:46:49 PM twitter.com/tradehill All you guys at TH should have your mobile phones hooked up to the main Tradehill Twitter just in case things like this happen where a simple 140 character blast telling people to remain calm could avoid FUD Title: Re: Tradehill Down or Gone ???

I'll be at the San Francisco meetup tonight if anyone is going. Edit: currently back up a) Being down so often and for so long, no matter what the cause, is a relatively big deal to me as a customer given the dynamics of the market, and I think that it should be taken seriously. Particularly since there is so much fraud associated with Bitcoin. b) It is more natural for me to follow threads on the 'trading discussions' board rather than the main one. A note saying which one of potentially many threads will be updated was, I felt, appropriate in earlier times. c) Why the blog, which seems to be hosted by blogspot and not impacted by the DDOS, could not have been updated to mention the current service problems is beyond me. It's probably a more logical place to distribute Tradehill news than a forum owned by a competitor anyway. d) Whatever the cause (except simply pulling a B7), I would anticipate that the Tradehill staff might be busy and servicing a bunch of individual e-mails to support would be less efficient than having a global status update. e) I don't use Twitter, but a heads-up there seems like it would be a worthwhile few seconds spent as mentioned by someone else. f) I would actually be fine being inconvenienced by DDOS from time to time if 1) I knew it was somewhere between possible and likely, and 2) some benefit of the cost savings (vs. using a DDOS protection service or rolling your own solution) was passed on to me as a customer.

Post by: PatrickHarnett on October 20, 2011, 07:56:37 PM If serious stock exchange was unavailable for such a long time, it would be in news all over the world... most serious stock exchanges are open about 8-9 hours a day, business days only - demanding 24/7 uptime on BTC exchanges is a bit different |
