It was the Bitcointalk forum that inspired us to create Bitcointalksearch.org - Bitcointalk is an excellent site that should be the default page for anybody dealing in cryptocurrency, since it is a virtual gold-mine of data. However, our experience and user feedback led us create our site; Bitcointalk's search is slow, and difficult to get the results you need, because you need to log in first to find anything useful - furthermore, there are rate limiters for their search functionality.
The aim of our project is to create a faster website that yields more results and faster without having to create an account and eliminate the need to log in - your personal data, therefore, will never be in jeopardy since we are not asking for any of your data and you don't need to provide them to use our site with all of its capabilities.
We created this website with the sole purpose of users being able to search quickly and efficiently in the field of cryptocurrency so they will have access to the latest and most accurate information and thereby assisting the crypto-community at large.
I know you think my IP had been blocked by them. I've asked, and they say its on the whitelist, not the blacklist.
You guys could suggest anything else I could try?
Did you want me to do a trace root?
Thanks,
Andrew Dobbins

OK. As whois shows, btc-e.com is using CloudFlare -- we don't comment further.

Could it be an issue with BTC-e.com
Quite a few people on bitcointalk.org are having the same problem.
Thanks,

Thanks Andrew,
I am currently not seeing any errors for btc-e.com against your IP in our logs. Currently the site is resolving for me from my location:

Are you still unable to access this domain? The screenshot your provided earlier is not our block page, but a server not found error generate from the browser when the IP address of the host server is not known or cannot be reached.

I can access butterflylabs.com,weexchange.co & cloudflare.com again
But I still can't access btc-e.com (I've attached a screenshot)

Thanks for the update Andrew,
Can you provide your source IP, domain in question, and a screenshot of the page you are seeing?

I've been blocked outright. It's not just one IP being blocked, it's a whole range.
No captcha, just a time out.
Thanks,

CloudFlare has several levels of security, ranging from IP security to browser inspection to our Web Application Firewall.
Sounds like either you are using a non-standard client or there has been a lot of activity from your IP that has raised your threat score.
Are you being blocked outright or challenged, with a CAPTCHA? Going through the challenge helps improve your threat score.

G'day!
For a while I've been trying to access BTC-e.com and haven't been able to. I've emailed them and they say I'm not blacklisted. I was able to access the site on my iPhone no problem.
It's taken me a better part of a week, but I figured out that I can't access any cloudflare websites from my home computer. I've tried resetting my router to get a different IP, and still can't.
I think you guys may have banned an entire bunch of IPs. My IP is currently 122.149.150.147
I can't access butterflylabs.com or weexchange.co either.
To top it off I had to create an account here just so I could contact you guys.
Please help!
-Andrew
