Hey all, Most people know there is a massive storm hitting the east coast of the US over the next few days. It is likely to cause widespread power outages.  Indeed, I'll speak on behalf of BitInstant/Coinapult/Paysius/SatoshiDICE here - if you can't get a hold of us, we may be trapped in the hurricane (see photo above)! Other Bitcoiners may be similarly affected. So please be patient this week  Note that web service should be fine because our sites are not hosted locally. It's unlikely the services themselves will be interrupted, but getting a hold of us (the actual people) may be difficult through Wed. Please pray to Satoshi for us! |

They're shutting down the entire NYSE for two days. I think the bitcoin economy will show its resilience in the face of natural disaster.

This just in. You'll only get some rain and some wind from this Category 1 hurricane. Unless you live in a straw house. What you do is take your bitcoin to yoru local grocery store and buy food and water.....oh wait
