Please?
New security continues to be unverified...

The outage was due to misbehavior on the server running the website and affected the website and api access.
Thanks for the attempt at transparency, but this is too vague. What was the problem? How did you correct it? You're on the Bitcoin Forum; you can get technical with us. Humor us. We need to want to trust that you know what you're doing.
Hi,
It's been 9 days now since I emailed support to apply for ACH withdrawal status to be set up on my account with you, I sent you my full bank account details plus photo of my ID, but so far with no acknowledgment, no reply, no response to my post in your thread asking after this & the ACH has not been enabled on my account as yet.
Copied to your thread & would appreciate an update, thanks.
Otoh
Edit PS - I've just bought 800 coins on Gox that could/might have been done on your exchange otherwise, which would at least have made a few coins for the compensation fund of those who had theirs stolen from you. Just checked - not much Ask volume on BitFloor atm so maybe it would have been just a few unless there was hidden interest waiting for Bids.

Sounds good. The recent down times have been getting me worried.
Understandable given what has happened in the past. However, I do want to stress that the issues have all been separate incidents and in no way related to any sort of compromise or attack on the servers. As mentioned in the previous post (and per the sentiment expressed by my users), serious server downtime will always be mentioned on our blog as well as our twitter account (@bitfloor) as soon as possible.

Apologies for the site downtime today. It was cased by a crash on the web and API server. I have brought all services back up and posted about the outage on the bitfloor blog. In the future, serious downtime issues will always be mentioned on the blog.
bitfloor, we need your help!

Checking "down or not" status for https://bitfloor.com ...
Hey, it's not just you! https://bitfloor.com looks down from here.
Of course, we can't be sure about every other location, but at least it's not accessible from here (Brea, California - United States) right now.

Crazy number of executions today...
Yeah, I know. I was responsible for several dozen of those.

On successive reconnection attempts by my bot (which uses an exponential back-off):
Ouch.

Apologies for the downtime. There was a minor website issue (other
services like API, deposit, withdrawal, etc) were unaffected. The
website is back online now. No status update was given as I was not
awake during the downtime and fixed the issue as soon as I woke up.
cheers,

I can login. I guess the problem is over?
The symptom is over. We have no way of knowing whether the problem has been solved since Roman hasn't been forthcoming about what's going on, either here or on the Bitfloor blog.

I created a thread to serve as an exchange available to those with BTCs that are still "on hold" following the security breach earlier this month.
That thread can be used to list offers to sell and for potential buyers to express their interest as well.

That thread can be used to list offers to sell and for potential buyers to express their interest as well.
Recently there was a sale of BTC debt owed by BitFloor, Inc. to one of its accountholders whose bitcoins are being held by the exchange and thus not available for withdrawal.
This thread is for others with BTCs on hold at BitFloor to list their offers and for buyers to express their interest.
Here was the previous sale.

Sorry shtylman. With the downtime yesterday and the lack of transparency I just cashed out. It was a good run while it lasted.

Please?
I apologize for the downtime. It was the result of a minor issue with the website. The API, trading, withdrawal, deposit, and other services were not affected.
Still down. This is not helping Bitfloor's already sullied image.
