Trading on bitfinex has resumed.

That's what happened last time but trading stopped again after about half an hour. How long will they manage to keep their trading engine running this time before it freezes, or is frozen deliberately by them for some reason or other? This has been happening too often.

sounds like every time the market moves in any major way they freeze .. apparently your only allowed to trade on bitfiniex if the market is moving sideways. they must have some serious issues over there.

I think it's frozen again, there have been no trades for the last 8 minutes. It seems like they give about half an hour's trading then freeze the market when it starts moving up or down by a few dollars. Gox used to attempt fixing their trading platform while it was running and Bitfinex seems to be attempting it now.

"Update again:

We will be halting the trading engine again for a few minutes to update positions and balances with the trades."

Isn't the whole point of having a trading engine that it's supposed to automatically update positions and balances with the trades? There's not much point having it if they have to do everything manually. I hope they don't lose track of who owns what.

Is this going to end with a Gox 2.0? (edit, Gox not God ;-) got to love auto correct on my phone)

get your BTC out of bitfinex b4 it implodes! I expect full implosion in 3 hours so regretfully there is no time to save your fiat... you can however buy BTC with your fiat and get out that way. everyone remained calm and evacuate your riches from bitfinex.

[JayJuanGee]

Don't beat yourself up if you lose for a few days, just think of the guys who bought at $1k+ and what they are thinking. LOL.

Yes, there were a lot of buyers in the $1k territory, including yours truly...

Solution to bitfinex volatility: Just turn off the exchange... 

3 times in 2 days, they're losing customers over this.

Their customers can only buy Bitcoin to get out before the predicted implosion if trading gets unfrozen in the next three hours. What if Bitfinex refuses to unfreeze trading before then? According to their last tweet they are manually updating positions and balances with the trades. That must be a time consuming process.

if hardfork will come, we'll probably use Core with bigblock patch

Amazing how Adam Back, Ph. D., with two months of relentess FUD and personal smears, without any hard arguments or data, has managed to turn the question "1 MB vs. 8 MB" into the holy war "Heroic Blockstream devs vs. CIA agent Mike" in the heads of so many bitcoiners.
