Alphabay is currently down (megathread)
Update 2: Trappy responded below.
Update: An account suspected to be Big Muscles has made a comment that they'll be back soon.

Alphabay is currently down. They've been down for at least 9 hours, based on what I can check. It's an established market, so outages are expected from time to time. When they go down we give them the benefit of the doubt as in the past they have come back up again after a few hours.
We are waiting on some comment from their support staff on reddit or elsewhere about the downtime.
What to do now:
Don't post threads telling people Alphabay is down, or asking them if it is down for them also. We know it is down. I've removed a bunch of these threads. Use dnstats to check if it is up.
Don't get phished. Phishers become more active when markets go down. Always save your links to markets after verifying them and don't use random links posted on reddit or elsewhere.
Let's wait until we hear from AB staffers before speculating wildly. People posting bitcoin addresses and claiming stuff don't know any more than the rest of us. The mods have not heard anything about AB yet, and I will update this post when I know more, or remove it when they are back online.
Enjoy your extra shitposting on reddit time while waiting for our AB overlords /u/trappy_AB and /u/alphabaysupport to let us know what's happened.
