Title: The exchange rate on SR is very incorrect right now
Post by: Jack N Hoff on September 14, 2013, 12:21 am
Silk Road's current bitcoin exchange rate is $70.33 USD per bitcoin.  This is a pretty big bug...


???

+1 ... Sure is troubling...  I'm assuming something was incorrectly edited during maintenance, as the site has been down for repairs several times in the past two days.

Anyone who finalizes an order right now will make a ton of extra coins for their vendor assuming it's a hedged transaction.  That seems like it would be a major, major problem for SR if they don't fix it soon.

This is a major bug that needs corrected ASAP!

Was just on maintenance and then the site came online, with this as an exchange rate!

CAN A MOD OR ADMIN COMMENT PLEASE

Kind of strange how there were maintenance links right before the BTC value dropped to $70.

Exactly, You would think that they would not have allowed the site to go live with such a fuck up. How the fuck does this even happen? if the value is set to an exchange, how the fuck does it happen?

I think I just peed a little   :o   Seems the plug has been pulled...I'm getting the "Silk Road is temporarily closed" message.  That is the message that appeared right before bitcoin tanked...Hopefully when it comes back up, bitcoin will have a pulse again.

Either someone changed something manually, or some sort of auto back up or restore process changed something automatically. If someone made the changes manually, lets hope they are active right now and figure it out quickly. The rate evaluation should not be tied into backups, restore, or updates. It shouldn't be stored at all really, it should be calculated live.

Hmm well if it should be calculated live how did this happen. It is a strange thing, People have been saying the exchange rate was off for a while now, Hell it was off by a good couple of bucks in favour of SR. This seems as if someone has been manually setting the price. Which I really dont like the sound of.

Also usually I get the Sr is down for maintenance. On this occasion I am getting this message.
"Silk Road is temporarily closed. We will reopen asap. "

That message is what is put up these days instead of the old one.
