All cryptos are FIAT digital currency. Do not use.

The crypto currency world seems to be under attack.

A couple of days ago, Canadian Bitcoins had their new bank acct closed for no apparent reason.

Could this be related to the exchange and pool shut downs ?

Their server was overloaded due to traffic spike over the last two days, they are switching to a dedicated server as we speak. This is from their twitter account and the official thread.

Pretty surprising that they weren't already on a dedicated server...

Isn't Vircurex the one happily chugging away with a years-old RoR vulnerability? Or is that someone else.. maybe Bitfinex. I may be getting them mixed up.

Official announcement from Vircurex is that it will be back up today at 14:00 GMT Sunday 7th April. They are making some changes and switching to the dedi server to handle the new traffic load  Smiley

Could everybody please stop handing out fake Vircurex twitter accounts?  The last time Vircurex had an issue, this happened, and kumala confirmed that wasn't a Vircurex twitter account.

The only source of info I know on Vircurex that is genuine is kumala's postings here on bitcointalk.
People are buying cheap Litecoin from me, every day - shouldn't you?
