No worries I just hope lightbox finds a better DDOS solution Don't think cloudflare is doing its job maybe Modsecurity instead

You guys are seriously undermining trust in your service, even if it's not your fault that you are DDOSed. There are measures that can be taken against this. how, to be more concrete

I just want to take this time to say that Havelock's trading platform is AWESOME. I never imagined myself as a stock trader but bitcoin makes it so easy. I bought bitcoins earlier this year from cavirtex and thats when I saw the banner ad for Havelock. You mean I can create an account and in less than 5 minutes I can use my newly acquired bitcoin to buy stock in the exchange that I just used to get the bitcoin? Ok that could be fun. Next thing I know, between VTX and ASICM my 10.5 btc has turned into 14+ btc. I'm no financial guru, but that seems like a pretty good return for the amount of risk involved. And the fees are practically non existent.
Yeah, all that being said I sincerely hope Havelock gets this sorted out because they provide an amazing service!

By promoting ISPs, that are transparent, exchanges will be helping this BTC community.
ISPs that have chosen to become protective legalized buckets of stupidity, seem to be the main body of ISPs out there. I can remember the days of copper POTS lines and Win NT, when life was better.
Please give us more info about your ISP, because in the end, that is one of the main reasons to bother investing coin. No, I do not trust the IT guys when they say "just wait" because that's a new IT mentality, that sucks, and which has been propagated by the current management of IT in America, who are unworthy of their jobs and paychecks.
ISP freedom, is 100% part of bitcoin's chances of survival. This means that when your exchange gets f-ed up, you need to share all data second by second, so that the greater number of minds, can be applied to what is a public issue. That's how trust gets built and held over time.
Give us more info about the DDOS. Tell your ISP to do so or give us their phone number so that we who understand IT, can call them and help them.
By giving you (the general public, not you personally) a detailed account of our current IT setup, what data centers we use, what upstream pipes they use, etc would only be putting us more at risk because more information would be out there to the bad guys to find ways to further the attacks... I'll consider carefully what it is safe to release and what it isn't, but in the mean time, know that we are doing everything we can to prevent it from happening again. When havelock was setup, we originally had it in the same physical data center, and indeed on the same subnet as lightbox technologies (my other business), which is fairly easy to figure out the IT details of. This has now been changed so both havelock and canadianbitcoins are completely independent of lightbox technologies. Thats about all i'll say for now.

...because more information would be out there to the bad guys...
thoughts: these 2 o 3 days (ddos @ him) other trading sites have not been suffered from ddos, have personally checked them few times... what i mean here is not that these sites have something todo with all that. in opposite: i think you should look closely at YOUR CUSTOMERS, who placed significant orders shortly before beginning of DDos, and (maybe) shortly AFTER beginning of (especially) ASICM price swing... that will give you no 100% proof of something, even not 30%... but! => will be good to monitor orders of these accounts in case of other similar attacks and make conclusions in the future. it would be very profitable for some subjects to gain advantages when others are unable to cancel orders made when prices were substantially different... the engine does ya trades automatically, once they're fired and queued. just my logic. uh. edit. good to look at beginning and ending times of both consequent ddos'es i think. there was 2 parts of it, right? also the logic is extendable further.

Anyone else having a deposit not showing up on Havelock in a timely fashion? A mining fund did a deposit on sunday. Transaction has a couple hundred confirmations, my receiving address is correct. Any reason why it might not have arrived in my havelock account yet? All previous deposits were picked up in a fast and timely manner. I can imagine there is some backlog work due to the DDOS-ing of late, but deposits not arriving is kinda scary to me. And while I post this, it appears. Still curious about the delay, cause normally it never takes over 30 hours.

Indeed it should not take that long. Deposits are handled automatically so DDOS shouldn't have affected the deposits once the site was back up (since Thursday evening) James

Please note that this week the ticker symbol for ASICM will be changed to AM100.
This will not affect anything about the asset other than the ticker symbol.
Thanks!

Temporary site troubles aside, I have used and currently use Havelock and find it has the combination of the best interface and the least "fluff" in terms of securities.
Can also vouch for lightbox, owner/operator of Havelock. He is the most accessible of the 3 exchange operators - almost always available on IRC to chat, or you can even contact him by phone. I've also completed a larger transaction successfully with him on something unrelated to Havelock.

After much planning and preparation, I'm proud to announce that Havelock & TAT Investments will be providing a new venue for you to trade full shares of ASICMINER. This asset works much like ASICMINER-PT on BTCT.co, with total support for importing & exporting of direct shares as well as ASICMINER-PT & G.ASICMINERThis passthrough also pays 100% of dividends!Launch Date/Time to be announced soon! Imports are being accepted immediately!As part of this launch the other fractional passthrough, named ASICM, will be renamed to AM100, to make the names more informative: AM1 = Full Shares AM100 = Fractional Shares NOTE: None of the fractional shares are currently eligible for importing into this new asset (TAT.ASICMINER, nor AM100).Full details here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253673.0

Today I've added support to keep track of your Havelock Invesments balance and securities to CryptFolio ( thread). This helps you keep track of your securities' values over time, and generates reports (such as your overall USD net worth). CryptFolio will also start tracking historical data for securities as well.

Definitely be careful -- create an API key that has READ ONLY access (ie, check the boxes to give permission to your balance and portfolio, but nothing else) to provide to 3rd party sites like cryptfolio. They dont need any sort of deposit/withdrawal/trade access
