The exchange seems to be up and running now! I could cancel orders through api...

Until they took it down again! According to their Twitter page the issue seems to be primarily with the BTC/USD pair, but affects all pairs when the trading engine is down.

My balance is wrong now. It seems that they have "lost" some part of it. This exchange is a complete fuck-up!

www.twitter.com/bitfinex: We are experiencing data corruption issues and will be offline until corrected. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Dying storage sucks big time! Or is this maybe related to recent changes in backend logic?

There should be no such notion as "dying storage" (or "data corruption" due to an obscure hardware failure) at an exchange with daily volumes of a few million dollars...

I hope they didn't run with the money the whole exchange on a single disk
