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.

How is this a coincidence Huh

Their site gets DDoS'd at the same time there is a massive pump and dump in the price ??

Seriously , what the hell are you smoking ? Or maybe you are the attacker or related to them in some way?

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.

Of course a DDoS is the hosting provider's problem , not their problem.

It doesn't change the fact this is a DDoS.

Maybe they are not lying intentially because they hosting provider is lying.

However it has been way over 15 minutes and the site is still offline. This is not a routine maintenance. A maintenence would mean that the site did not appear at all , whereas in this case we are seeing it appear, but the following message

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.

This is 100% DDoS, and 100% somebody (BitFinex or the web host) lying.

Even if BitFinex are being honest , why did they host with such a crap provider? (Who the hell is OrangeWebsite... makes me think it is somehow related to BitFinex , therefore equally dishonest. )

I guess painful lesson learned from this episode:

Don't put your money into the hands of incompetent and dishonest people

Just let me access your site again so i can move my money out
