Topic: Binance Down - page 3. (Read 838 times)
I was surprise they went offline for this long but there is a tweet form the team https://twitter.com/binance_2017/status/961855008500150273, trading activities should be back soon. I think because of the recent exchanges hack people are getting worried, this is why you don't leave your funds on exchanges
they just make improvements to their system, do not panic too fast. because it is now stable again.
Binance is down for 12 hours according to twitter for system upgrade.
No email to the users letting us know they were shutting down.
Seems kinda abrupt. Hope it really is just maintenance.

If they got problems with servers or databases it’s better to don’t spread panic through all users. Just imagine what will be if it was announced publicly. The most of them will want to withdrawal to another exchanges. This might cause more problems than now. Just be more patient.
Everything will be ok; this is the official answer of binance today
"Blockchain thankfully provides a public ledger that can disprove any FUD.

Let's not forget that traditional financial services sites only need to operate 5 days our of 7 and within specific hours which gives them a 48 hour window each week for downtime if needed. Crypto is a 24 / 7 environment so any time you need to perform system work will affect someone. Having been in IT for many years it is rare that any big maintenance procedure goes glitch free.
A bit frustrating but take a bit of you time instead and come back tomorrow.

It seems that Binance's servers are having some problems, and now they're synchronizing all the exchange data from the standby server, so it takes a little bit of time to wait a little bit. 
Why did not they warn their users about this? There would be significantly less panic...
System maintenance doesn't include trying recovering data in 3 different ways, and failing on first 2 attempts. Can't fkn believe how many people live in la la land and decive themselves by ignoring bad news every single day. If you would cut their hand off, they would probably go like: "I don't think anyone cut my hand off, it was a bit shorter than the other one from the start. Stop spreading FUD."
They're doing technical work,but now it seems to be saying that you already earned, or not?
This had happened before too, where they have to upgrade their servers to accommodate the exponentially increasing users to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
They had to react quickly because the tech found that the trades are getting out of sync due to the heavy traffic, hence the hardware needs to be upgraded yet again.
Maintenance and upgrading servers is not easy task, it shouldn't be rushed, bugs needs to be fleshed out, and checks need to be made to ensure that the system is secure before opening it back up for public use again.

I think the only thing this proves is that nothing is perfect.
Here's the latest tweet from Binance:
"Estimated time for trading to recommence has not changed. We are still looking at 4am UTC 2018/02/09.
Thank you all for continuing to remain so patient.

They just updated twitter with 3 different methods for data recovery, not system upgrade.
The followers on twitter are going nuts.
Its close to 24hrs down and they just extended it up to another 9 hours.
Smells a bit fishy

They are taking their sweet ass time, but I don't think we have to be alarmed...yet 
It's starting to get worrisome that people say it got hacked and binance extending their maintenance multiple times.
I understand why people panic, if it was me, i would also go crazy! Binance is a top 3 exchange in the world. If it can go down, means any exchange go down due to server issue. However i know funds are safe, but it still worries me, how a big exchange can go in maintenance mode without letting their customer. weird!
Gladly I withdrawn all my funds there few days ago.
What are you thinking? They were hacked? No. But if you have withdrawn your funds and will use it to trade into other exchange then it's good for you.Hoping binance will fix this issue as soon as possible.
They need to upgrade as there are already too many traders that they are catering everyday so this will fix some major and minor issue that has been reported through their ticket and has been found by their developers.But never hold all of your portfolio on this exchange.
Always remember this. 
yes, this is just ordinary maintenance, they do not send email to every member because this maintenance will only last a moment, and they have announced this in telegram 
There is a worry among traders specifically those who have Binance a Hong Kong based cryptocurrency that it might have been hacked. The company said that they are just having site upgrades for 12 hours which was then extended to 24 hours. But then, traders still hope that it is just an ordinary re syncing and that their money were still in tact.

Good for you dude you already withdraw your fund from binance but as of now they doing maintenance to upgrade their site.
