Question on Canadianbitcoins I only see Cash options, is there still a way to get mailed a cheque?
We should have cheque options re-enabled within a few weeks. Had to re-order new cheques from our bank due to the bank changing a few things on us without notice.... In the meantime, direct deposit is a much faster option! (and free!) |

Hi everyone, this maintenance window tonight is going to take much longer than anticipated unfortunately... probably well into tomorrow, I will post here with updates when I have them. My apologies for the downtime...

Virtex is a similar idea who had a successful IPO. The difference is that Virtex had a reputable service and a history.
Virtex and Crypto financial are very different business models... In fact, I hope that virtex becomes a customer of crypto financial in the future! |

i would not be surprised if you've already made moves but... buy some monarchs with the bfl vouchers!~
Indeed, moves are in place  |

Hi everyone, the recent outtage has been resolved, and the SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM FINALLY IDENTIFIED. This is the same issue that has been affecting the site, on-and-off, for the last 2-3 weeks. I wont normally describe in detail the causes of these types of problems, but in this case I think it is warranted so everyone knows exactly what was going on. - about a month and a half ago we switched our websocket for streaming trade data, order data, etc, from our own custom solution, to the hosted-service www.pusher.com- pusher.com (to their credit) was extremely easy to implement and worked very, very well for the first few weeks. - our server has very strict firewall settings, so when pusher.com was setup, our firewall hole was opened to allow our server outgoing connections to the pusher API server, in order for us to push events to it to be re-broadcast over the websocket to all connected clients - sometime over the past few weeks, the IP address of the pusher.com api server changed occasionally (maybe low priority round robin dns for automatic failover on their end?) so sometimes our server would be connecting to the correct IP that our firewall allows, or sometimes (very rarely, but increasingly frequent) it would be trying to connect to a different, FIREWALLED IP address. - last night, it appears the IP address has changed more permanently (or, who knows, maybe it will change again) - the reason the site was running slow, or not at all, is that when the site became active which caused pusher.com events to be triggered during key database session transactions (such as within the locked trade transaction) the system was waiting 30 seconds per pusher event for the pusher connection to timeout before continuing. This cause all the other users/clients waiting on that locked transaction to have to wait for access to that data. SOLUTIONS: - I have now added the new IP to the firewall, and requested from their support staff a list of all possible IP's that it might resolve to, much in the way cloudflare provides a list of their IP's. - I have lowered the timeout from 30 seconds to 2 seconds - I have moved all pusher.com events outside of locked transactions With this, I hope the issue is finally resolved. I sincerely apologize for the recent problems you may have experienced with the site over the past few weeks, and thank you for your patience while we figured out the root cause. If you have any questions, please dont hesitate to ask. Cheers, James |

*) is there a panamian bank really backing these guys @ ~$10 mio?
=> if that's not explicitly verifiable, then is that at least plausible to you (Havelock)?
Yes, a Panamanian bank has provided to Crypto Financial 10m USD, which is essentially held in trust at the bank and cannot be used for day to day operations. Its used as backing for government/regulators in order to secure the required licenses. |

Does Havelock at least know the name of the bank you're partnered with?
YES, we do. |

Hi Yogafan00000, Sounds like you are trying to enter your 16-digit Secret Key rather than one of your 10 backup codes, which are 8 digits long. Also, what authentication app are you using on your smartphone (e.g. Google Authenticator)? Have you submitted a support ticket? http://support.cavirtex.com/If so, what is your ticket number? If not, please do so. Thank you. No "backup codes" were ever displayed for me to record. Only the 16 digit code, which I carefully wrote down and now is apparently useless. I've been using 2FA on havelock, mtgox, gmail, weexchange, bitfunder with no problems whatsoever. My only problem is with your buggy login page. I am annoyed that I have to open YET-ANOTHER-GD support ticket for your poor service. My Two Factor Authentication page clearly shows both the secret key, and the "display/hide" link to get the backup codes.. maybe its "hidden" by default, and you have to click the link to expand them. Be sure to write down your Secret Key and your Backup Codes in case you lose your mobile device or your mobile device needs to be reset.

WTF is going on with Havelock? The site keeps going down and nobody seems to mind. If it's maintenance then someone should just tell us. Hearing nothing makes me want to pull out all of my BTC and hoard it.
We're as frustrated as you are.. and we're working to find the cause of the issue thats been happening lately.. it is NOT a problem with any of our servers or direct infrastructure, but appears rather to be a networking issue upstream somewhere. |

Havelock Investments do have our personal information and company address on file. We have been closely working with them over the past few months
on the different options of bringing our services forward to the Bitcoin community.
May I suggest sharing your details with one of the more trusted forum members (say, John K.)? If a "senior" forum member vouches for the authenticity of your information, I think that would please many potential investors and alleviate some of the fears expressed here. These forums are riddled with scams and broken dreams, but there is a small set of forum members who have always proven to be trustworthy. From following reddit the last few months, I knew this was coming - I actually believe this is legit and a great thing for bitcoin. Best of luck in your exciting venture! As the owners of Havelock Investments, we hope we have achieved a "trusted" status in the community.. We have confirmed the identity of the Crypto Financial directors... as mentioned previously, we have been working together for several months now to bring this IPO live. |

Why is Havelock constantly going down? I've lost count of how many times I've seen the CloudFare page over the past few weeks...
we're investigating.. all i can say for now is that there are _NO_PROBLEMS_ with the actual servers that run Havelock.. it seems to be a networking issue upstream somewhere. James |

hi james,
one of the best features of your site is not working for me for last couple hours, i mean trade-notifications over mail...
not sure about other notifications yet.
can you take a look at?
We migrated our mail service to a different IP yesterday, which seems to have caused some problems... 2800 clogged emails in queue have now been sent... sorry for the delay everyone! James |
|
|
|
Use the upcoming Share Export Form page at HavelockInvestments.com When can we expect this feature? I asked Havelock for an update this morning. In the meantime you can contact me directly if you need to export. Working on it.. hopefully by end of day Thursday... if my phone would stop ringing for half an hour! |

I really like Havelock, but with the lack of communication we've been getting from Crypto Financial, and the lack of answers to fairly basic questions...I have zero confidence in this IPO, and I won't feel sorry for anyone that loses money on this.
Crypto Financial will be spending more time answering questions here, and we are now working with them to possibly release their full business plan (which we have analysed in detail already and has much more detail than the released prospectus), or a trimmed down version of it (removing any proprietary information first).. stay tuned! |

Hey lightbox, I was wondering if you were planning on getting the singles with or without PSUs? BFL seems to be shipping orders without PSUs sooner than those with, and I'm sure you have some spare PSUs, or I could send you some seasonics  If our order comes up, we'll definitely take them without PSU's... Looks like they are finally done shippin June 23 orders for Singles, so things will hopefully move along quicker and and we might see our 30+ singles shipping soon! |
