I can see it's changed now. I'm reassured!

And who is Mr Taaki? Being ultra paranoid.

As a Brit and fan of BitCoint id like to support your project. Just looking trough your code (quality).

One thought is when processing orders, shouldn't you use transactions so the script will roll back if any errors.
MySql can "go away" for example mid flow and cause issues.

Are bank transfers out made via faster payment or BACS?

Britcoin is good until you try using it.  It is SO much easer to use mtgox than Britcoin.
Maybe that is just the lack of features, but the general interface (being stuck in the corner of the screen) is annoying to use.

I say take a hint from mtgox:P

Well the source is there, go ahead and use it.

The bitcoin node crashed, so I've turned off the site until I have time later to start it back up. Don't worry- your funds are safe (and backed up).

Does anyone know what this error means?

Code:

bitnami:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop

Something else is using port 80 on your machine.
Do you have another apache instance running, or some other application that might be using port 80.

Try:

Code:

sudo lsof -i :80

[genjix]

OK, thanks. It was an apache zombie process :/ Fixed now.

Out of interest, what does it mean when it says that a Bitcoin withdrawal is "verifying"? What's there to verify?

There is a bunch of cycles for ensure validity before withdrawals are verified. Then I have to actually authorise this myself.

I guess you'll find more info in the logs.

Site is down. Have you taken the site down permanently, or is this just technical problems? 

Gutted if you've had to take it down permanently, was hoping to sell some bitcoins in the next couple of days, and was generally a well put-together site.  A big loss to the bitcoin community (especially us Brits) if it's gone.

"Every day the site will be down between 01:00-05:00 (AM) GMT as we analyse the site for potential issues. We are carefully monitoring our system."

Although I don't take the site down everyday as said, I generally do take it down in the early mornings weekly for checking out problems. This time my analysis tools detected some anomalies which turned out a minor bug (hence I shut it down until a fix was rolled out).
