So, Binance just shit the bed...

in #life6 years ago (edited)

[Edit: here's their announcement, and their extension announcement; should be done by 2 pm UTC, they said.

Oh, and another observation: all my TradingView charts have stopped updating! Because they're all pointing at Binance, except STEEM which is at Poloniex because I had set it up prior to Binance adding STEEM. So, it'd be a good idea for me to set up alternate chart pages, so I can switch to those and still be able to see essentially what the coins are doing, until Binance comes back.]

Their 2FA handler failed three times, before I was able to log in. Not good.

Trying to purchase LTC, I keep getting an error box with no text in it, which disappears quickly. Looks like this:

Guess I'm about to start researching MetaTrader (both 4 and 5 -- from previous research, seems 4 is superior to 5 for cryptos, for some reason), as it should hopefully be able to connect to Binance's API.

My thinking being, their web server(s) might be flaky, but their API server(s) might still be working properly.

Today has been quite frustrating. So, enjoy this AC/DC:

May your trading be profitable -- financially, spiritually, and emotionally.

not good for people that where doing microtrades.

Friend they announced a maintenance so if you want to trade try to do it later. Regards

Awesome thanks, didn't see that. I will carry on! :)

You're welcome friend.

They new a huge trades lately that is why they re trying to upgrade their servers

I have the same issue that looks strange but i'm gonna wait some time

Yeah looks like they're updating the site -- just added some "edit" to the beginning of the post.

If Binance goes down , i am done wth crypto trading .

Yeah was thinking similar thoughts -- still haven't implemented my plan of keeping coins off the exchange, and if this means they're gone, that'd be tragic. But doesn't seem to be the care -- I added an "edit" to the beginning of the post, with links to their announcements. Should be back "soon".

Run to the hills, run for your life ♪
Shitti situatuin dude :/ hope you didn't lose anything but confidence on binance.
Have you tried Coinigy?

After my gifted private session with @haejin (for being one of his highest upvoters), I tried both TradingView and Coinigy, as he recommended them both. I bought a 2-year TradingView subscription for around a grand, but the Coinigy trial lapsed without me doing much with it.

I know they have coins that TradingView doesn't have, so it'd be good to have a subscription there as well (and also, for redundancy, in case TradingView is down), but haven't had the need yet.

I really enjoyed Iron Maiden's song "Two Minutes to Midnight", which I think our government just set the clock's hands ahead to again ("the hands that threaten doom"). Meaning of course that we're close to nuclear war, if such a thing truly exists -- I don't believe radiation can cause explosions. And, I've worked in a nuclear plant.

Hang on a second -- were you implying that Coinigy allows me to trade on Binance through it? If so that'd be great, I expected TradingView to be able to do so and had a really bad taste in my mouth the first week or so of using it, when I found it didn't trade after spending so much on it. But I really like having charts in my peripheral vision, so it has been a worthwhile expense.

Anyway, if Coinigy connects to trading APIs, then I might very well invest in it also! Appreciate the guidance.

Yup, I started using Bittrex via Coinigy with just with the API. It was because in bitrexx i couldn't use both Stop loss and take proffit, and Coinigy i liked coinigy graphics way much more than Bitrexx.

Cool, I'll check it out, thanks!

Luckily I dont day trade anymore so everything is fine since I dont need to trade.

maintenance going on getting the same no worries

i don't like binance because they always keep some of our hard earned crypto under their belt.

I have tried the android application MetaTrader4 , generally excellent! except the lack of 'TRAILING STOP'

FREE COINZZZZZZZ

They better...

I think you're always... in the black! Hope the exchange snafu sorts itself out!

I don't want another MtGox another Bitconnect . Have already lost few bucks in bitconnect . Binance please don't break our trust .

Agreed. Fortunately I avoided losses at BitConnect, I got out as soon as I could -- but I know many more were affected and I feel bad for them. For some reason I never did anything with MtGox. But I had stuff locked up at BTC-e when the feds took it down. And Poloniex went down for a day or two last summer, July I think (or maybe August, when the BCH fork happened?).

Hoping Binance is pulling a Poloniex, and not a MtGox/BitConnect!

fantastic analysis.

That's a amazing post man. Thanks for share this post.
