TL;DR

This is the last straw for me and BitFinex.

After this I move everything out.

This was posted on IRC and I thought I'd add it to this thread.

*******

I am guessing it's DDoS , because it says "too heavy load".

I am guessing Bitfinex is lying about what's happened here.

i think it could be someone trying to manipulate the market again , like in march / april

with mtgox - same thing happened

t would be nice to hear from someone , to know what's happening

somebody ran the price up from 1000 - 1020

then , started DDoS on bitfinex

because its probably the easiest exchange to DDoS

then , dumped a hella lot of coins

what happens next ? we wait to see

*******

Bottom line: I think BitFinex are lying about problems in Iceland.

Worst of all there is not even an update on their situation.

This is the last straw for me.

After this I am moving everything to MtGox.

If I can vouch for Raphael and Giancarlo - I know that 1.) this is not a DDOS, and 2.) this is the hosting provider not the result of a hack/unannounced maintenance on their part.

Bottom line: Whatever is happening, I think it's clear that BitFinex are lying about problems in Iceland.

They will not even post an update on the situation

Geez man. This problem happened just some 20 minutes ago. How can you assume that there must be someone communicating to you right now? Probably you assume, in your imagination, that there is a huge control room at Bitfinex, where herds of people are buzzing around like in a Hollywood movie? Wink

Just try to judge such a situation with a grain of common sense and realism.

I am talking of not being able to pay rent or buy food. This event for sure is a reputation ruiner for BFX.

Are you kidding us?

If this is really true, you should immediately stop any trading activities, and consult a doctor. Because you're clearly nuts. Never ever put money you need for a living into any speculation, irrelevant if Bitcoin related or not

We all got open positions at BFX which instantly could financially ruin us once this Icelandic "Quality" Provider is coming back on. I am talking of not being able to pay rent or buy food. This event for sure is a reputation ruiner for BFX.

BFX Should freeze all those open position until the market is stable.

They should have backup servers in another location with a separate ISP for these type of instances. This is completely unacceptable.

just about 1 minute after the sudden BTC rate drop, Bitfinex became nonresponsive

This website is under heavy load
We're sorry, too many people are accessing this website at the same time. We're working on this problem. Please try again later.

did just everyone rush in at the same moment, or was this a bad coincidence?

gosh! free coins on gox and my coins are locked in a stale finex box

If it were only that... open long position and chances that everything blows up (or down) due to low market depth when BFX is getting online again...
