What Happened to SteemDollar.com?

in steemit •  7 years ago 

Just this past week, the site started directing me to an error page.

Currently, it gives a 403 error: the site is forbidden.

This troubles me because SteemDollar.com has been the most convenient way to glance at the price of Steem and SDB since the beginning of the Steemit platform. Other tickers, such as those found at CoinMarketCap.com, may be more detailed, but they are not exclusively dedicated to the Steem currencies, and both Steem and SBD gets lost among the multitude of other currencies there.

Of course, if SteemDollar.com simply wants to close up shop, that is its own business, but I don't myself too brazen to expect an explanation. Does the site need some kind of help? Has it been hacked? Is it looking for more community support? Or has it given up on the Steemit platform? These are questions I would like the answer to.

Or, at the very least, I would like to know if it is ever coming back.

Very sad news and maybe the site just technical prevention, since with increased interest in the Steem and SDB, the site simply could not stand the server load. Thank you @talanhorne

upvote Resteem

I really hope they fix the issue and get back on the track .Only time will tell that though !

i use busy . org along with using steemit you can also check the prices at the same place

There could be a technical issue also and we should wait for sometime to arrive at a conclusion. Thanks @talanhorne.

Have a great day.

i just checked and think there is a problem due to outrage in the system due to the bug

Do you think the site owner even knows about it?

@talanhorne - Sir I'm using coinmarketcap to check Steem price Sir... I heard about SteemDollars today Sir...

+W+

I don't have any ideas what happened steemdollar.com. But seriously it has problem when I've seen. Those msg gives up them to me last week. Will see what to do?

your awareness of such tools is awesome. it seems site down. hope it will be up anytime :) @talanhorne

Very useful information. We have checked from coinmarketcap.com. But it has more cryptocurrencies. Steemdollar.com has only steemit platform's usage tokens, So only have little problem. Not big. may be has some system error their network. I think it will fix soon.

hosting might have got expired lol

i use coinmarketcap the most for checking the prices on various exchanges no idea why it is not working

@talanhorne,
Once I tried to use it, it worked, but the price of STEEM, I thought it was incorrect! So I stopped using it and now using coinmarketcap plugin!So, no idea about this so far! Anyway I will try to get an update about it!

Cheers~

Very important information .thanks for sharing.
Thanks @talanhorne
Have a great day

i too like to see that its down right now too hopefully it will be back soon lets hope so

They are really sad news

i am too getting this 403 error: the site is forbidden error seems like a problem

that is the only specific website which work on the steem blockchain but currently not available

i keep on getting a message telling my bandwidth limit is exceeded..what can be the reason for that?

Steemit does place a bandwidth limit on accounts. It's one of their ways to preven spam upvoting, I think.

thanks sir..but but do they consider myself as a spam???? but why??

I believe the following post will answer all your questions:

https://steemit.com/bandwidth/@timcliff/steem-bandwidth-user-experience-issue

many sites are not working today may be kind of problem

I don't have any problem with this site because I don't have any steem dollars :) I'm sorry for you.

don't worry the prices are going up :)

i hope that, the price of it will be up very soon.. ☺

Very useful information . thanks for sharing
Resteem

I hadn't noticed this yet myself, but you're right. I just tried to get on and it says "forbidden." I had used it periodically. I wonder what happened. Keep us updated if you learn anything!

That site needs our help to run, looks like they didn't pay for hosting~

Exceptional finding & hope it will be back soon...!!!
