Adding the following to /etc/hosts (or windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts or somesuch on windoze) gets access to the site and OpenID works fine for me

Code:

75.101.180.111 britcoin.co.uk www.britcoin.co.uk

Everything works as expected once logged in with a fudged entry in my Hosts file - so all transactions etc are not lost.

This looks to me like the domain has been hijacked?

Andy

how do you do that?

Im calm as I know he has provided an ok service so far, and that the site was in alpha state so i did expect an update. If in an hour or two i cant get access to my coins then questions are gna be asked!

I tried to withdraw £100 from my account, but it has been "processing" for over 24 hours now. Is that normal?

This is normal. But I'm worried about the site disappearing. Hope genjix clears this up quickly.

The old IP on http:// will redirect you to the domain on https which won't connect, but connecting directly with https://75.101.180.111 does give the site but openid logins don't work due to the different domain. Adding an entry to your hosts file and then browsing to it and logging in works as it did before for me.

Noticed this when I switched networks - wish I could get to my home network quickly, but tricky. Anyone have the old IP still working?

The old IP was 75.101.180.111. It isn't connecting.

I put in a deposit in the very early hours of this morning and just wondered how long does it take for it to show up on Britcoin (from a HSBC bank).

Ah just checked my bank, seems it rebounded, resent the deposit.

Just thought it's worth saying I deposited £25 earlier and it worked fine, took around 5 or 6 hours to hit my britcoin account. Now just waiting for it to turn into coins

Edit: and now the website appears to be broken..

Edit: it's back, and I have coins.

[We were doing maintenance, backups .etc Back up now.

I am trying with 1BTC but no luck so far. Not redeemed yet:

http://blockexplorer.com/tx/4c75ba4cf3358f679e3885d754c4b470c71bee7ad97d62e726208420d0e9d924#o1

On top of that the homepage is now displaying some php errors...
I guess there are some problems. Is my BTC lost?

Thanks

Now a little worried that the temporary bitcoin addresses that they use for transferring in payments might have gone "puff" along with the site. Sad

Back up and BTC have been received... *phew*

Was working, albeit with issues if you were logged in by OpenID about 8.15pm this evening when I transferred over some BTC.

Now a little worried that the temporary bitcoin addresses that they use for transferring in payments might have gone "puff" along with the site. Sad

Sent the site webmaster a message, but no reply yet.
