When I go to https://bitfunder.com
or for that matter https://www.bitfunder.com

I get:

          An error occurred during a connection to bitfunder.com.

The OCSP server has no status for the certificate.

It works here and no problem at all. Maybe you could check your Internet connection or try a different Browser.

Yeah, but then you are potentially making other sites insecure by turning off certificate verification. It isn't working for me either.

Same problem occurred a few days ago.

Then the problem only occurred if you were using Firefox - looks like same thing now.  I get the error if I try to connect using Firefox but access the site fine with Chrome.  So, for now, just use a browser other than Firefox is the easiest solution.

Or are some of you having the problem but NOT using Firefox?

Bitfunder is using certificates issued to cloudflare, their CDN provider. Interestingly enough, cloudflare seems to reuse the same certificates and just add SANs (Subject Alternative Names). Some of their customers are listed below. Nothing like being on the same service as eroids.com and tripsareforjerks.com

Anyway, I'd suggest using a different browser and not disabling OCSP verification. Let bitfunder work out the issue with cloudflare, who is the one that has the problem since it's their cert.

It worked with IE.

I've long suspected that the trading sites would be shut down by the SEC (At least the ones that operated in the US or had US Companies on them)  This happened in Second Life a decade ago.  With the Case in Dallas, Tx of the SEC going after one company its likely not long before they all get shut down.  I thought this might actually be the start of that.  People lost millions when they shut down in Second life.  The SEC tried to protect the investor but in turn it was the investor that got hurt.  The company that had raised all the money walked away scott free with tons of cash.  The exchange that had peoples balances also walked away with lots of cash.

These guys kept opening up taking money then shutting down.  Every time they opened up people gave them money and every time they shut down the lost the money: http://www.wselive.com

This time however there is much more at stake.  I believe a lot of people mean well but they are tangled with people that don't know what they are doing.  It will all collapse soon enough.
