GLBSE down?

[Xenland]

I'd be willing to research(extra security options) and program the website.

I don't think centralization is the problem. the problem lies with a poor business model. It seems their business model is goaled directly at only security. Thats not a bad thing at all - in fact far from it.

But a business can not survive on just security alone.

It needs
constant maintenance,
Easily modifiable code for quick changes,
Q/A team for website and public view of the services onions and frustrations.
and most importantly and easy to use interface that is highly verbose.

I don't know that a new centralized solution is needed/wanted.  If we want a centralized stock exchange, just improved/maintain GLBSE.  I think a decentralized, peer-to-peer solution would be a step in the right direction though.  Just my opinion though.  I too am a software developer, and it would be quite interesting to be involved with either solution.

The whole site "https://glbse.com" is down for me right now. Am I the only one? My internet has been having issues.

Edit: What is "http://companies.herokuapp.com/"  ?  

It's down for me as well.

http://companies.herokuapp.com/ is the glbse site that glbse.com forwards to.  Looks like their DNS is having some issues.

It's down.

I can ping glbse.com, but it won't load in my browser.

down again?

Yes. Site loads, but stays at "Refreshing..." when you try to view portfolio.

I would move halve my trading and cash there. The competition - in terms of price, reliability and redundancy of both exchanges - would be great for traders.

GLBSE were great in the beginning but I am becoming less and less convinced they should remain the sole exchange now.
Competition is good for everyone, it gives buyers of services alternatives and drives sellers of services to do better.

How much trouble would it be to make a new exchange?

I would trade on a new exchange as well as GLBSE, if it is made well. I suppose I could easily set up a new fund to do like LIF.A and trade shares on your new exchange as soon as it gets set up.

Anybody who has a company on GLBSE: if a new exchange opened up and promised to be more reliable, would you move your company there?

[LoupGaroux]

[LoupGaroux]

I am back in too. Whatever magic the good Doctor performed, seems to have worked.

[c0ffer]

REALLY glad to hear a new interface is on the way

[OgNasty]

Down again?

[teek]

Down again?

looks like..

[LoupGaroux]

Yup, for at least the last five hours for me. I have found shooting a PM to nefario often speeds up the fix, now that he is out in the West.

It's such a repetitive problem...can it not be prevented from occurring in the future ?

If I remember correctly, the problem is from bitcoind exiting/failing and needs to be restarted.  Simple watchdog script would halt this.
