Minor Service Outage: We're investigating performance issues on Coinbase.com and are working to resolve them. We will update with more information as it becomes available.
Coinbase always seems to go down during a flash-crash. they re-open once the price has stabilised. This was the case even when they had a lot less users.
It makes me very nervous about what they could be doing behind the scenes.
Coinbase had like four outages in June that coincided with unusually high volume. I wish people had taken the hint that it will happen during hot times.
True, makes sense. It's interesting, I found a few other sites having issues right now too, like Kraken when trying to log in it has an SSL handshake issue with cloudflare.
