Coinbase is down
DDoS?
- BoorishBears 9y agoSufficient traffic can act like a DDoS... Coinbase has frequently been spotty during large fluctuations in Bitcoin’s price due to high trade volume.
- czsr 9y agoCoinbase said that: Minor Service Outage: We're investigating performance issues on Coinbase.com and are working to resolve them. We will update with more information as it becomes available. https://support.coinbase.com/ https://support.coinbase.com/
- kylezinter 9y agoHmmm I wonder if this is an actual attack or just a flush of actual users.
- SilasX 9y agoCoinbase had like four outages in June that coincided with unusually high volume. I wish people had taken the hint that it will happen during hot times.
- kylezinter 9y agoTrue, makes sense. It's interesting, I found a few other sites having issues right now too, like Kraken when trying to log in it has an SSL handshake issue with cloudflare.

- kylezinter 9y agoJust seeing now that you already noticed that, nvm.

- SilasX 9y agoAlso Gemini (Gemini’s public site is up but ability to log in is intermittent). Kraken and Bitstamp has outages around 7:30am Pacific. (Bitstamp’s public site was up but trading updates had stopped at 7:18).
- alva 9y agoCoinbase always seems to go down during a flash-crash. they re-open once the price has stabilised. This was the case even when they had a lot less users. It makes me very nervous about what they could be doing behind the scenes.
