Alphabay is Back Online

First of all, apologies for the downtime and coming back online a bit late. We wanted to make sure everything was all right before announcing it. We got a brand new infrastructure and we are ready for the big user influx.

*** IMPORTANT *** Do not send coins to your old Bitcoin addresses. Simply head to your Balance page and get your new deposit address.

We recuperated all the coins from the old hot wallets and made a new brand new one. We will keep the old wallet server online for 72 hours in case someone mistakenly sends coins to an old address, but this is a manual process and you will have to wait a bit if you make a mistake. Just send coins to the right address and you will be fine. To round things up, all Escrow countdowns have been extended for 48 hours, same goes for auto-declining orders.

We are back online in full force now, and hope you enjoy your new experience. With the slowdown problems out of the way, we are now ready to spend our time putting new features and growing our community even more.

Thanks to everybody for being part of the team! The technicians will watch the Bug Reports section closely in case of problems, but it shouldn't happen.

New wallets, eh? I guessed that's what you were doing.

Its like their are two versions of alphabay. One was just wheeled away to be replaced by this version with different wallets and bitcoin infrastructure.

Why did you replace the "wallet server", alphabay? The old one was fine, I assume. I bet this one has a lot of problems.

Wallet server! Ha! more like a one-way valve which lets bitcoin into alphabay, but won't let it out again. If I'm doing you a disservice, I'm interested to know what changes you made to the wallets that took the site down for 3 days.

It's like you are trying to copy sheepmarketplace's exit, exactly.

Are deposits from before the outage still not showing?

Is there any way to extend the 72hour uptime for old addresses?

I, among what I'd imagine to be a lot of other Agora refugees, am still waiting on funds from the 25/8 to hit the blockchain and they were pointed to towards the old AlphaBay deposit address well before the shutdown.
