3/1/14 – Popular Bitcoin ASIC hardware/software company ButterflyLabs has mysteriously disappeared Friday evening. The company was just getting ready to roll-out their 600/GH and 300/GH cards that many individuals and companies have pre-ordered as early as 8 months ago. Their website currently just shows an empty blank white page at the moment. Although upon deeper digging, some of their directories still exist on the server. Reddit user “isdnpro” suggests, “In this case it’s HTTP 500 which is Internal Server Error, as opposed to serving up a HTTP 200 (Request OK) response with no content.” (source)  This could mean that we are only seeing a temporary problem, but we don’t have any way to confirm that at this time.

Besides that, the ButterflyLabs Twitter page is also not showing any new signs of activity. Does this mean that ButterflyLabs is also going to leave us as well?

This comes just a few days after MtGox, a highly used Bitcoin/USD trading platform, went down due to mistakes made in the security of the platform.

What is next for Bitcoin? All I can say is that we are in for a bumpy ride – so strap on your seat-belts and hold on.

UPDATE: The ButterflyLabs forum still seems to be online, but the main website is still not loading correctly.

(I will be updating this page if any new information comes in. Feel free to comment if you know what is going on. Our official Reddit comment thread is located here)

Server down or BFL run away?

the server is not offline

[zedicus]

It's not just you! http://www.butterflylabs.com looks down from here.

If its down for like 3 days or more maybe I will start speculating

They could be just updating their website on the weekend doubt something went wrong

Difference is:

BFL is based in US

Many customers use USD to buy their shitty gear.


They will be in jail much faster than Mark.

3 days really ?  why didn't they update people about taking the site down for maintenance or for whatever reason ? and BTW their twitter page went silent as well, last update was January 8th

[zedicus]

Their forum works probably just a server issue..

btc-e.com is down aswell   (EDIT: SOLVED DNS ISSUE)

[Kenshin]

What are you talking about? I just checked they are online.

Well i'm still getting a "This page can’t be displayed", earlier today they we're in maintenance. All other sites work.
Could be a problem on my side. Thanks for saying it's still up and running.

Update: I can't resolve their DNS.
Update2: Got it working by flushing DNS. Something funky was going on, on my dns servers.

Sorry for the FUD
