I cannot access their web too..Looks like they are under ddos attack..
Maybe it has something to do with their security issues because today earlier they had this jump to 150$ for 1BTC.
..and no oficial comments

Again?
They had 1 yesterday morning too.
Was chalked down to a bad sel or entry though.

It's nothing , they said "At this time, the routers are coming online and datacenter site staff are bringing all servers back online. Up to 15 minutes" , so you have to wait 15 minuts and you should be able to go to your trade once again . no wirries

Well. Still not up and it's been down at least 2 hours since I woke up. You don't worry when you have an exchange down with a bunch of $$$ in it?

I personally don't use exchange for those reasons , because they can go down or simply run or make a "scenario" about them getting hacked like happened with Mtgox . I prefer my self controlling my money and trade on forums like Bitcointalk when I want to .
Their announcements was like 5 minuts ago , so you should wait 10 more minuts or so and it should be UP .

Ohh, I looked at the wrong time stamp. Lol. I don't know how you can trade coins on the forum safely but thanks.

The site has been down at least 2 hours and people are starting to sweat.

Yes we are. I already missed out on an easy 4% turn around trading Ltc due to the downtime.

If you give Paypal people will most liekly won't trust you however if you are looking for Paypal , trusted members will come to trust with you and you don't worry about Irriversible methods .
I personally prefer Neteller because they have some rules about Chargeback etc and most people use it . (note that Neteller is a credit card company that allow Card to Card sending ) you can do all that on Currency exchange . just make sure to choose trusted members (green if it's large amounts)
