Yep. As surely everyone noticed, even getting a simple price chart of bitstamp fails at bitcoinwisdom and bitcoincharts, more often than not.
Seems to me Bitfinex passed it's stresstest! :-)

I could slap myself for not putting up orders yesterday night. Went to bed an hour before it began.

Ente

The order book is unavailable because stamp is having problems. The "Order book" button on the upper right is working well, "Level 2 order book" (which includes stamp) doesn't load, same as the short order book at the bottom of the screen. Could be improved to fall back to showing only BFX's order book instead of nothing in a situation like this, but it's mostly Bitstamp's problem here.

Yep. Just wonderful timing as well. Anyone know of a reliable trading service similar to bitfinex? 

Many problems today !

Can we please have the order books back up ?

First stress test after migration How is everything going now?

All sites that are using cloudflare.com service I cannot access them even cloudflare site, all page not found. (bitfinex, cex, btc-e, vircurex)
Any idea guys how to fix this?

Please guys, tell me margin trading is working.. right? Guys? GUYS?!?

edit:
whoops, funds in wrong wallet. Strange, that a different wallet is in default view on the lending tab.

Ente

Trades seem VERY sluggish right now, hopefully they are executed faster in the background!

bitfinex is working for me. 
It auto-updates (or you can switch wallet tabs), so there is no need to renew your browser all the time.

I cannot access sites like bitfinex.com and cex.io, which are both my trading sites, I think their firewall is blocking my IP coz I regularly reloading them.

See the answer above, also a problem is that Bitfinex can only really send money in batches, and these are gobbled up FAST. Looking at the outstanding loans, they grew from 1-2 million pre-bubble to now about 3.5 milllion tops. That would mean a lot of that was sent to Bitstamp.

Likely they send 6-digit amounts of USD each day and people still buy that up like crazy, since borrowing that money is so cheap. Before prices for borrowing can go up, the USD dry up for the rest of the day - rinse and repeat. Also this leads to price swings (as the price crashes on Bitfinex internal at Bitstamp deposits) that liquidates some thin positions, blowing more USD to be lent out on the lending market, which then gets eaten and used on Bitstamp mostly again - making it necessary to move more funds there.

By the way, a message to people apparently re-posting their loans at 33% APR: You are NOT smart. Not at all. Please at least use FRR or just let the money sit at 400+% for a day or so, I had offers taken from time to time that were far above and beyond FRR. As long as this gets taken one in 10 days, you still make a profit compared to these lowballing offers. Also right now there is no lending as there is no margin trade.

Edit: Wow, just as I write margin trading is re-enabled and lending rates shoot up to 300%+

Don't we have the fabled "weekend dip" at that time normally?

Why isn't the upgrade done on a weekend ? It's usually quiet during that time.

thanks. makes sense logically

Bitfinex buyers can't get USD to Bitstamp to bring the price up, and the only people selling on Bitfinex are selling at a substantial premium

just a question (I couldn't follow all the forums lately): why is there such a huge spread between bitstamp and bitfinex?

so... just to summarise my impression: performance was good during the hefty moves up and down. At times, people were figthing like mad on the internal Bitfinex market. For a short time after the crash, there was enough reserve and the Bitstamp connection was usable too.

Hopefully the finnancial side of things went well too?

If anyone wants to sell 10 coins at $700 PM me ASAP.  Price has stabilized above that on bitstamp but below that on bitfinex.  I have an arbitrage opportunity.  I will repay you the greater of $7000 or 10.2 coins tomorrow.

Of course the reserve runs out now.

EDIT: NO LONGER NEEDED

Probably, that was absolutely crazy.

Reserves already gone?
