[PSA/Article] Market Outages

Please check DNS Stats before making a post, and please dont post unless its been multiple hours. If it is down, there will be a larger post made to consolidate discussion. This is to minimize spamming the new queue with a bunch of "Is Ag down?!" posts.

We need to remember in the wake of Evo going away and Agora's extended absence, the other markets are taking extreme loads for what is probably rickety architecture.

Thanks for reading

On the other hand, /r/DNMcirclejerk welcomes your "IS blank DOWN? I NEED TO BUY MORE METH NOW MOTHERFUCKERS!!" threads.

I was going to order some Oxy today off Agora but it's been down. So instead I went to the dentist and got a bottle of Norco for $20 instead! Haha.

Can we sticky these threads for like 12-24 hours temporarily if they come up? Just so they are the top threads that people will see?

It makes sense to me. Personally I'm fucking tired of seeing shitty repetitive posts cluttering the subreddit. I'd like to condense/organize it more than reddit would allow, but I guess we are only allowed so much.

We should also add a link to dnstats.net to the front page? "market down? Check here!" could hover above the button.

Also goddamn. Infinite is still making the necessary posts that the admins should be doing. I WONDER......

Great PSA, people chill out and rationalize. But as a fairly new DNM user, less than 4 months, has something like this ever happened before? More or less chaotic?

I just keep clicking refresh. . .

I was looking for alternative / decentralized market things and found this, apparently it's launching soon? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=955204.0

I hope something 'decentralized' takes hold, sick of loosing coins... it's funny how bitcoin was created to remove the trust factor, yet we build systems around it that reintroduce trust :S

There should be a page with known markets status with data pulled from DNS STATS.

Anyone wants to make that ?
