@bitfinex Except the money i BTC through Mercuryo, isn't in my wallet. Cause you crashed 10 sec after i got my purchase confirmed on your site. Thats almost 3 hours ago, usually only takes 5-10 minutes. And of course you don't take responsability.. I never use your exchange again.

@MrBenLilly @Blockstream @bitfinex I think was a failure of their backend due to overflow into their Matching + Liquidation engines. Its up to them what they report. As well a lot of API issues. Their Vercel + AWS considering 2 separate instances and location wise seems more like an error inside engines.

@parman_the @bitfinex It’s OK, it looks like Chivo registrations went down too. It means Salvadorians will get more sats for their $30, those that hold the sats anyway.

@ECool021 @bitfinex My coinbase was hacked, i lost all my money, NO LIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! They don’t help when your account is hacked. They act as if the FDIC doesn’t guarantee your money, luckily enough for I was suggest to contact @Internet_saver who recover my account back

@bitfinex Shockingly bad communication with customers again. When are you guys going to learn. Everything is down. No tweet for > 1 hour. Status page has no updates > 90 minutes. No information. People will be getting worried about their funds. Talk to us.

@coinjunky lmao remind of when 2014 bitfinex would have issues and you'd literally toss an order out and hope. then stare at your open order window and pound claim when ever it decided to update your p&L

Damn 3AC looks like they took a big hit today on bitfinex. Went from like 18mil unrealized profit down to less than 2 mil currently. Not seeing any realized profit, so appears they were stopped out for most of their gains. Even the mighty can fall

@WholeMarsBlog Yikes that is not good. The ponzi part of crypto could start coming down now. Like dominos. Tether. Coinbase. Bitfinex. Liquidity event tho. After the flush, regulation will follow and that's actually good for the industry long term. US digital currency replaces #tether, #usdc.

@NFTurbo @GrindingPoet @FTX_Official Ultimately it is a 'nature of the internet' problem. Bitfinex has always walked the organic load spikes associated with big market moves, when the rest of the industry really often hasn't, but I don't think you can ever be immune from a sufficiently sophisticated targetted DDOS

Bitfinex is Down due to DDoS Attack. #Bitcoin

@paoloardoino the problem is, that most of you (exchanges like Bitfinex, binance, coindesk, kraken etc.) start having "issues" just moments before price crashes. used to it.

@bitfinex #bitfinex what do you think the opportunity cost plus the fact that because your system failed me hours before the dip cost me? #dumbasses you should be shut down !

(@h3_extrachars) reported
@fintechfrank I have never seen bitfinex down on market moves like this before. It says to me it was more likely an actual co-ordinated attack on the ecosystem rather than organic users hitting exchanges

Anyone else notice the timing of the Bitfinex service interruption and the crash? Looks like Bitfinex went offline while BTC was still trading around $51,000. The price didn’t start tanking until almost two hours later. Just curious.

@SpillyGuy Did Bitfinex ever confirm that it was a DDoS attack? I couldn’t find any reference to that from their status updates on Twitter or on their website.

(@MrBenLilly) reported
@CryptoHellspawn @Blockstream @bitfinex Are you trying to DDOS attack my twitter feed? Very curious about the orderbook issue... Not sure it was an inverse orderbook, but instead prices being displayed were done with a $8 spread? Liquidation engine issue?

2016 - The Banks will never use Bitcoin. Watch as these so called exchanges get hacked go down one by one starting w/ Bitfinex! 2017 - China bans Bitcoin! Sell it all to the Koreans! 2018 - Bitcoin is rat poison! Bitcoin is dead for the 1 millionth time! Hello Bitcoin orbituary!

@MajorZaroff @JorgeStolfi @droskill Not true. Try torrenting from your real IP and you’ll be permabanned after three strikes. A stern letter to Deltec’s US correspondent bank would shut down Tether, and thus Bitfinex and probably every other exchange.

@alistairmilne Shame on you #Bitfinex ! It is not as if they were taken by surprise! You had plenty of time to adjust your tech & competences. Now again it is at the cost of your faithful supporters. Not being able to trade when everything goes down is very frustrating and costly.

@ha1331 Not harsh at all. It's happened so many times now that I simply accept it as status quo. But the reason I highlighted this is because Bitfinex went down several hours before the price started dropping. And there are rumors that it was a DDoS attack (although have yet to confirm).

Several lightning service providers and exchanges are being attacked right now. Massive correlated DDoS attacks. Exchanges being attacked liked Bitfinex and Blixt wallet. This is very correlated and seems to just be the start. Attacks on infrastructure bitcoin and lightning nodes

@MrBenLilly @Blockstream @bitfinex We've seen that in the crash to 28000$ nobody claimed DDoS then. Yet a lot of issues where happened then, if you remember. They are actually lawsuits based on that. So this DDoS they try to pull up their Terms of Usage as not their fault , because huge financial damage.
