What happened?
The owner of this website (
www.bitfinex.com) has banned you temporarily from accessing this website.
This is not a Bitfinex error, but rather a too restrictive Cloudflare setting.
I assume they had to accentuate their Cloudflare settings, because of the recent DDoS attacks on their website.
From their Twitter:
Bitfinex has been under significant denial-of-service attack for the past several days.
The attack has recently worsened. Please monitor
https://bitfinex.statuspage.io/ for ongoing updates.

Eery familiar. MtGox also was heavily backlogged by its own overwhelming success, months and weeks befor the largest fireworks in bitcoin history. Yet.

I would be more worried about them adding pretty sketchy altcoins in the last weeks. Altcoins like QASH or YOYO
should never be added on an exchange that wants to be taken seriously.
There is a reason why these coins are never added to Bitstamp, GDAX or Gemini.
