jesimps Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 A few times yesterday and again this morning it was saying that it was unavailable. Now, a homescreen comes up but it's obviously not 100%. Are the rest of the Thai exchanges struggling with the recent increase in volume? I'm starting to become a bit concerned in case there's a big fall in the price and I can't get in to place a buy order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalbanana Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Their web site says: >Unfortunately there was a technical issue with the upgrade this morning and we will need to fix it; this may take several hours. Sorry for the inconvenience. Bloddy marvelous if BTC crashes - absolutely no warning from BX for this either? Cowboys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dario Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Yeah, it's REALLY a pitty, I'm in BCH and it just went up $200.00 (very unusual for BCH!). No way to change my sell order now ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the inconvenience. Bloddy marvelous if BTC crashes - absolutely no warning from BX for this either? Cowboys? They say on twitter: too heavy traffic, server overload. This is now probably not only happening in Thailand right now. Look what's happening right now with Bitcoin, looks like it started a free fall. A 08:45 Thai local time it stood at $18'328.90, now it is at $16'669.10. A decline of about 10%. Update: nobody at Bitcoin Thailand is answering phone calls, and this on 2 phone numbers. I hope they're not going to run with our money, I have quite a lot there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently in the process of registering with Coins.co.th, though lots of hoops to jump through before I can start trading. I too hope BX doesn't do a runner, I was going to transfer my BTC to an online wallet this morning because yesterdays blx put the wind up me.

AT the time I write this, BTC has dropped $2'800.00, not $1'500. Website is again offline now. I know it's hard to keep up. Those who have their money in BTC, must have the jitters. Luckily, for this time I was in BCH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first major pullback in a long time and the exchange crashes just before it happens. I'm pished with them with my meagre portfolio, I can't imagine how the high rollers are feeling right now. This is a mega money making opportunity. If I were the CEO and his cronies, I'd be looking over my shoulder each time I stepped out of the office for two guys on a motorbike.

Dario Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 It's absolutely a crazy situation today! I still managed to make a 10% net profit (although I could have made 30% without bxinth's website closed for 2 hours). But I watched how people are buying in a frenzy now. As BTC is trying to return to the sky, I saw the buying price going up from 460'000 Baht to 589'000 Baht again, just in a matter of minutes. Surely, the whales are making big money.

They are now that they can get onto the exchange. Yesterday I was on a forum watching the Indians whinging about their exchanges crashing. I thought "That must be a pain in the aris, at least BX is on the ball". For me, today's episode wasn't so much a worry about the trading side, it was wondering if the site was ever going to come back again. Couple of good things did come out of it though, I registered with Coins co Thailand, also with Bitstamp in Luxembourg and when the site finally came back, transferred all my BTC to my Electrum wallet.

Yesterday the prices of BTCUSD varied by over 3000USD at any moment depending on exchange. BX prices always seem higher than some others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
