According to Vern they've been having hardware problems for over 12 hours.
weird that the 2 largest dark exchanges go down one after the other. sure it's fine on this one lol
If I owned one of the other exchanges I'd be going in for the kill and doing all I can to catch the orphaned volume!
+1, I would be on a marketing Jihad as well, advertising some form of redundancy and backup for all customer funds...
I've just got in contact with an Exchange based close to where I live in London. They are low volume but not compromising on quality and security...building things slowly and legally imho. They are a real company with real staff (transparent identities), real offices etc etc. I'm not saying I know that they are safe but I've just asked them...why not go for the kill now? Why not offer zero trading fees for a while? Bonuses for volume? I'd be moving heaven and earth if I were them right now.
Your rivals are down...keep twatting them with a stick until you know they're dead!
On a more savoury note...the sooner we can get away from centralised exchange the better. Its going to take a far bigger brain than mine to make that happen though. I can help swing a stick though...
