1  Economy / Service Discussion / GreenAddress -- first coins disappear, now the entire website is down. Status??? on: August 05, 2015, 01:56:48 PM
In short my question is -- does anyone know where to find the status of GreenAddress? It appears to have been offline for about 12 hours or so.



In long --

I haven't had Bitcoins for a few years, due to an unfortunate series of events where I used too little security and they were stolen or I used too much security and I lost access. Recently I started selling a homemade product online and decided to give it another go.

Having learned from prior mistakes, I decided not to trust myself to keep offline wallets. Things get broken, lost, corrupted, etc. I hopped over to the breakdown of available wallets at https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet  and I chose Green Address.

It worked fine and was very fast when I received my coins from customers. Then, as I went to check the balance, I noticed a lot of "Internal Error" messages popping up, but it still seemed to work. I tried another browser and started getting messages saying that I was already logged in and asking me if I wanted to logout the other session. I assumed that this was the other browser I had used and said yes, but it still failed to log me in for about an hour or 2.

Eventually I got back into the account and all my bitcoins were gone  Cry . Moreover, the transaction history was totally blank  Huh. I assumed I had been robbed, though it's amazing as I have Norton's best security suite (and other network security software, like SNORT), my password was saved offline and my traffic is encrypted with Cisco VPN and the robber apparently discovered and robbed me in record time.

In another hour or 2 the entire website went offline and it hasn't come back online since. What's going on? Did I get robbed and this highly touted web wallet's site go offline for unrelated reasons? or did I not get robbed and the trouble is all on their end? If this is a major service shouldn't they have a separate status feed somewhere (but I can't find it)?
