Displays Internal Server error 500 (or 502) code on the main page. Which means that their server can't handle too many requests at one single moment. And this happens maybe due to this panic and FUD that spreads always too quickly. People were too greedy arbitraging their coins (steem tokens, SBD, maybe some other coins as well), then withdrawing their funds which lead to congestion and server overload when too many requests are sent. Or it could be a DDoS attack?

I use this site only as a reference to see the current price movements.聽Anyway, this is a hardware/software shutdown, not them turning into scam.

When you guys can't calm down this can only lead to the platform shut downs, nothing else. Just be aware of the fact - panic cannot help anyone!
