I am trying not to jump to conclusions but coming here does not help. I was thinking of pulling my money out a few days ago when Doge was still around 90 sat. opps

[tom14cat14]

I was just about to send in after watching this thread for weeks.  I think I'll hold off.

I held off at first sent some BTC there 3 weeks ago. I have "gained" a little over .3 BTC. So we will see if i get it back.

[healthandwealth]

Heh I always suspected this site would go sooner or later.  If it comes back online I'd be suprised.  I constantly shaved off the top of my earnings every week and keep only kept the minimum in until a couple weeks ago I pulled it all out.  At some point this site was going to bail.

[wdl1908]

it's not the site it's the name servers.

NS1.WEBKEVLAR.NET and NS2.WEBKEVLAR.NET are mentioned in the whois records. and they are both down.

[nightengale]

Was able to get in just fine earlier tonight.

[unhooked]

I think it would be wise to wait 24 hours before crying wolf

[dreamlucky]

Hostgator has been having on and off problems all day affecting a lot of the internet. My guess is it's related to that.

[octopus1]

Think people.

If it has been on and off, that is pretty much a guarantee they are not absconding with your coin. If they were, why not just shut it down? Why down, then up, etc. I was bit suspicious of them myself, but took the risk with 0.05 coin. I have withdrawn 0.1 back, and have 0.1 invested, so I've become more trusting of them.

Perhaps the plan is to steal coin at some point, but it makes no sense that would have anything to do with the current issue.

[micers]

The problems we are seeing are DNS related and have NOTHING to do with btc-arbs.com

Except that they may well be someone doing DNS spoofing...

ENABLE TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION KIDDIES

[micers]

Server is now down.  It is no longer just a DNS issue.

I am fucking tired of half assed web programmers deciding they can manage websites which are handling millions of dollars worth of value and keep them secure, when companies like Microsoft, and Apple, and the governments of the world can't do it without teams of competent staff.

The evidence is obvious at this point.  Persons unknown have decided that btc-arbs.com is a lucrative target.  They have attacked that target via DNS spoofing all day long today.  That was done to obtain login information.

Now they have attacked the site directly.  The site is down.  Let us hope that it is not compromised.  I don't think the owners are doing anything right now but asking themselves WTF just happened.

We will know when they can sort their issues out.

Now then, if you are going to loose 0.1 BTC or less, just STFU and talk to the hand.  That is sheite.  Don't clutter the thread bitching about fifty dollars.

Lets figure out what has happened and make the best of it.

[b3102novato]

Site is  offline, shit. Testing through TOR or 'normal access', no results. I hope this to be a technical problem instead of a fraud begins to happen.

[micers]

It is not a damn fraud...  This is a typical site hack.  The clowns who run the site are not competent to manage security.

For that matter the damn owners of the site need to UNPLUG THAT THING FROM THE NETWORK until they figure out what happend.  AT THIS POINT they have not done that.  That troubles me greatly.  Why?  Because once a site is compromised the attacker can do whatever he wants with the site.  He can break the web server and continue to steal from the site.

That site needs to be OFF LINED RIGHT NOW!

Anyone with a contact to the admins of that site, call them RIGHT now and have them take the damn thing off the network RIGHT NOW.  We should not be getting an error page from the server.  The system should be offlined BECAUSE it has our BTC stored on it.  If it is OFFLINE, that BTC can not be stolen.

[dreamlucky]

By definition of the site btc are not stored there they are on exchanges. I have multiple BTCs invested and I'm not worried until all Hostgator servers are back up.

I am trusting the admins WRT to their intentions.

Still with Heartbleed, and all the other DNS stuff that has been going on with them all day.  I am not comfortable with the skill of the administrative staff.  I have tens of BTCs invested and I am worried whenever a site that stores passwords crashes.

Like I said, KIDDIES enable two factor authentication.

[bitfilliates]

I agree, although I don't have it enabled due to low account and crappy BlackBerry ATM

I just realized this...

I did some advertising on my site's adbanner options with them privately and they purchased but whenever I would ask for an EMAIL to further talk this over as the support option is incredibly ill effective I would never get a reply.... now that could mean just about anything right? but now makes me think about the fact that

They have No Twitter
No Facebook
Kinda came outta nowhere and honestly every acceptable - popular bitcoin site had their banner all of a sudden. Including my bitfilliates at which time wasn't getting enough hits for the deal he offered and was soooooooooo like here take it with the money.

So I worked up literally a 1500 page advertising campaign for his payment and he just said sent the btc, could't bare to read all of that but just i trust you.


Now, i know some yall got lucky and bought early, me however found bitcoin through silkroad.


Think about the fact that they may not EVEN be doing ANY TRADING AT ALL and just putting those percentages up, that deposit balance has no TRANSPARENCY WHATSOVER to show that hey i actually own what I earned....

Wow I'm actually getting even more suspicious now...

Just going to point out to you that they are stored on exchanges under someone else's key.

[bitfilliates]

yea i trust them.

i would look pretty stupid well my site would if they end up being a scam.

2 adbanenrs, on every page, top 5 lists hahah praised

But the arbitrage factor is just it...simple when explained in comparison to wall street


ADAM WHERE ARE YOU!!!

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out line the man come, and take you away.
