“# 800K BitBay users face 2nd unscheduled outage this year <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Estonia-based cryptocurrency exchange BitBay went offline for almost two hours on Monday without explanation.<\/p>\n

According to a tweet posted by BitBay on Oct. 12, the exchange went<\/a> down at app<\/a>roximately 4:28 PM (UTC) today before resuming trading at 6:10 PM. BitBay posted<\/a> an update before it had resolved the unnamed issue, announcing its plan to launch the platform with \u201cthe blocked possibility of transaction processing.\u201d Users had 30 minutes to cancel offers posted on the exchange shortly before it went offline. <\/p>\n

This incident is BitBay\u2019s second unscheduled outage in 2020. In March, users were unable to trade for more than 18 hours after the exchange said it struggled with a \u201cnetwork problem\u201d resulting from its \u201cexternal service provider.\u201d <\/p>\n

The shorter outage time today resulted in far less concern on social media<\/a> than the episode earlier this year, but at least one user referenced BitBay\u2019s network issues in March.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you guys playing with your investors\u2019 emotions?\u201d said<\/a> Crypto Twitter user Binod Kumar. \u201cIt’s still not working.\u201d<\/p>\n

BitBay claims to have an annual volume of 547,000 Bitcoin (BTC), or roughly $6.4 billion at the time of writing. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
