Binance Down

 When money is on the line, going dark without warning is rarely the best idea. Last night, Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency exchange Binance did just that. With little warning beforehand, and a message afterward claiming it needed 12 hours to complete site upgrades, people started to panic.And then 12 hours turned to 24.

Binance, though, assured customers again today that everything was fine, claiming the outage was due to a server issue that caused data to fall out of sync. Chief executive Changpeng Zhao announced last night that the development team would need to re-sync from a master database, a project he anticipated would take 12 hours.Things didn’t go as originally planned. Now the idea is to bring the exchange back to life in the wee hours of Friday morning, at around 4 a.m. UTC (8 p.m. Pacific). After halting all trading during the outage, Binance representatives today promised a “30-minute window where users can cancel open orders prior to trading being opened.”As you might expect, the outage — and the additional downtime — led many to believe something was amiss
