Frequent Downtime Issue Of The Agora Marketplce

Overall, 2015 has been a trying year for the Agora Marketplace users. The Evolution exit scam shook the darknet world and Agora had to assure its members that such a thing would not happen to them. Then there was the denial-of-service attack that made its services inaccessible to its sellers and buyers, again rousing fears that an exit scam was in the offing. Since then, there have been a host of other issues, the latest being another bout of pestering downtime problems. Lately, Agora has also grappled with problems arising from a breakdown of its withdrawal and deposit services.

Over April and early May, Agora has been dealing with frequent downtime issues that had started in March soon after Evolution went offline with millions worth of bitcoins stolen from their vendors and buyers in an exit scam. Some of the downtime issues at Agora resulted from problems to do with their infrastructure. In such cases, the problems were investigated and resolved to get the Agora Marketplace URL working again.

On other occasions, users who were unable to access the site using Agora Marketplace URL due to downtime were met with information from the site administrators that the site had intentionally been taken offline to deal with issues arising from an increased strain on its resources following the increased number of users coming from Evolution Marketplace.

On one occasion, the Agora Marketplace URL stopped working because the site administrators were dealing with what they termed as serious security issues. According to messages from the administrators, this downtime and the associated maintenance work was meant to ensure that the online darknet market platform offered anonymity to its buyers and vendors, something the administrators admitted was the site’s greatest priority, even exceeding the need to address the impatience site members had with the site being offline.

About a week ago, on April 30, Agora admins posted that they were aware of a withdrawal and deposit problem that had been troubling its members over the previous 24 hours, although the Agora Marketplace URL was working just fine. Sometimes later, the site administrators advised site members to refrain from sending payments until the issue was resolved and the withdrawal and deposit features were working normally once more.

After a few days, in May 4, the darket site admin’s reported that all payment functionalities would be fully restored by 10:00 AM GMT on May 5. The site administrators were also happy to report that withdrawals had been restored, and it was just a matter of time before deposits began working as well. However, for a problem that arisen a couple of days earlier, this delay was quite substantial.

True to their word, Agora Marketplace had restored most payment features by May 6. Payments that had been made prior to the payments problems were mostly back on track. However, new payments were facing considerable delays, a problem that the administrators warned would continue for a couple of days. However, at the moment, most users confirm that payments are working perfectly.
