This is a mirror of the original BitMEX trollbox archive that used to be online here. BitMEX disabled their archive after the DDOS attack so I have decided to make my mirror publicly available.
Well now, a few days after I made this mirror available to the public, the original archive from BitMEX is online again. But since it is still limited (neutered to the last few hundred messages) I will keep my FULL mirror alive.

[2015-11-22 14:47:16] floopfloop : honestly though, the announcement part is more our fault [2015-11-22 14:47:39] floopfloop : but I think keep the trading platform (obv only ont he 24h) should not be done in the furture [2015-11-22 14:48:07] floopfloop : they sent the email, we should have read it. [2015-11-22 14:49:00] j8 : i remember reading it, somehow i thought the maintenance happened last weekend though. something visible on the site the day before would be nice [2015-11-22 14:49:39] floopfloop : ^ true., My point is that even if we read it, we may have not been aware we wouldnt have access to the trades we made before the shutdown [2015-11-22 14:50:18] BitMEX_Sam : Thanks for the feedback guys, we'll definitely make it more obvious next time around.

We should have 1990s gif images rofl [2015-11-22 14:54:23] donkey : 24h, and the fact it took a hour longer than planned is not good ofcourse [2015-11-22 14:55:12] floopfloop : donkey: yeah, but id rather have an extra hour of downtime and ensure my funds are being held in a secure manner [2015-11-22 14:55:24] donkey : its better to plan for longer maintenance and be back sooner than the other way around in my oppinion [2015-11-22 14:55:31] floopfloop : if you are going to have downtime, you should at least do it right and make sure everything is 100% [2015-11-22 14:55:38] floopfloop : donkey: good point [2015-11-22 14:56:33] donkey : allthough some would be mad thinking trading is suspended for another hour only to find its allready trading again [2015-11-22 14:57:12] floopfloop : BitMEX_Sam: Heres some inspiration for the ridiculous alerts lol http://www.buzzfeed.com/adobe/obnoxious-banner-ads-that-everyone-remembers#.rvyb7qRR5X [2015-11-22 15:00:07] floopfloop : think we will see $330 today?
