We might not get any new updates from our host until another 72 hours. We must all be patient and hope for the best.

Deposited 1600 PPC into it this morning... 15 minutes later down. Just my luck.

I'm in the same boat, but with LTC.

Though, you could probably do some serious arbitrage with all the PPC pumping going on at BTC-e right now.

It keeps popping back up and then disappearing again, it's driving me crazy!

Fake Twitter confirmed by Kumala

Not real.

We got word from the service provider, looks like the sudden spike in the past 2 days has blown the gasket, the server hosting provider is asking us to scale the app, i.e. move it to new bigger physical servers.   

Be prepared for a longer downtime this weekend.

What about open orders, are they being cancelled or when the site goes live at a random time the orders become live.

If the orders stay live, the market conditions are totally different than when the orders were placed and those orders may be very inappropriate for the current market conditions and users may lose out.

Will there be some type of announcement of when the site goes live and when the orders are starting to be traded?

Will there be an opportunity to cancel orders before the trading actually starts? Will the site be live and users can place/cancel orders before the markets are live?

If there is not a notification of period, then users with the best connections can take advantage of other users unfairly.

What about putting the site up and halting all trading to reduce the load.

This way users could attempt to transfer coins out, adjust outstanding orders but trading would not be supported until the site is ready for trading.
