The server was known to be in Malaysia since day one. The site claimed they have their office in Switzerland (which is NOT in the EU) but this has been repeatedly deemed unlikely. Thank you for that. Ah, good news. That server is *NOT* vulnerable to the Heartbleed attack. https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=btc-arbs.comWhat are you talking about?  ? Who cares about Heartbleed at this point. It is obvious they run with our BTC, wake up people. There is no evidence for what you suggest. |

I mean you really need to take off your pink glasses.
There is no sane CEO/website owner/business owner in the world who would suffer this kind of malfunction and skip notifying his clients about it just being malfunction to be fixed.
Why? Cause he knows if he does not do that 99% of his clients s going to withdraw and run the moment he gets his website back online thus effectively destroying his business.
So during this 24 hours any normal webmaster would post a note, send a group email, anything. Do we have something? No. Accept it. They run.

Just curious CrazyIvan... How much do you have invested? Also, I bank with JP Morgan Chase. Pretty large company I'd say compared to BTC-Arbs. They commonly update their website and disconnect services from time to time to do so. I have never received an email from them, just a notification when visiting the site. Sometimes things go wrong, and they are down longer than expected without that instant notification. By your logic they are probably just scamming everyone and I should pull my funds from them too right? |

I don't have much invested, made my last withdrawal 4 days ago so I ll live. |

I don't have much invested, made my last withdrawal 4 days ago so I ll live. I agree with you that they have been piss poor communicators in this. I am a Computer Scientist with pretty a pretty good resume of system administration and network management. I've been all over that server today and believe it to be secure. I have posted a lot of my thoughts earlier in the thread. I don't think someone who wanted to abscond with the funds would even bother taking the site down. Why do that when you could continue to milk it for an extended period? Think about Mt.GOX, they stole A LOT of BTC by milking the system over more than a year. Why just shutdown (actually break) the web site and leave all the other services running? Also consider the recent extended outage at CoinEx. That one looked bad for the first couple of days. This looks a lot like a case of server admin fat fingers and business manager failure to communicate. At this point unless someone knows how to contact the admin and get some information we will just have to wait. and hope... |

Yeah i trust them with my 0.3 btc. Let's see how much BTC i have left in a few months on there. It will either double or disappear in 70 days.
I think it's worth the risk, and even if i lose the 0.3 btc, i have a lot more anyway.

It will be interesting what the result will be today... Good arbitrage opportunities, but possibly some distraction with the site being down... We shall see...

Exactly, no webmaster would leave their members in the dark. The repeatedly sending withdrawal requests back to the account balance is also a very old HYIP trick. They are gone, face it! No further evidence needed. BTW, Poker by Proxy had the same shelf life as btc-arbs. If whatever you like to invest in is on Money-News-Online, just skip it and forget about it for your own sake. |

No, all stupid members will withdraw now. It they are legit, this could cause the company significant problems. If they are a scam, they will disappear. If you want to pull out, do it over the course of a few days. Submitting a big withdrawal request would be kinda dumb at this point. |

Result seems to be 0.60% First and foremost, we would like to take this opportunity to apologize for the website downtime that we have experienced for roughly the past 12 hours. Due to a hardware failure in our data centre, our website was temporarily offline. During this time, arbitrage trading continued as per usual, however users were not able to access their accounts. We have pinpointed the point of failure, and have taken steps to ensure that it does not happen again. Please do not contact us to inform us that the website was offline, we were aware and such messages serve solely to create a support backlog.
Next on the agenda, Easter. Due to the Easter Holidays, our staff will be working limited hours this weekend, including Friday and Monday. Please refrain from sending unnecessary support messages, and allow for a slightly longer than usual response time.
And finally, we'll move on to the day's results. Our arbitrage was limited today since the entire team was focused on restoring our servers. We did however manage a 0.6% result. |
