Bitfinex opens query function, users can check account balance, other functions are still unavailable

Since the theft of nearly 120,000 Bitcoins from Bitfinex, its development team has been working hard to restore the network.

Today, Bitfinex officially released a message. First, it repeatedly emphasized that it was working hard to solve the problems caused by the attack, and then stated that the user query function has been opened, and users can check their account balances, but other functions are not yet open.

We are currently working to restore network functionality. The first step is to restore the website online so that users can log in and view their account status. Please note that trading, deposits, withdrawals, and other core website functions are still unavailable.

In order to complete this work, all withdrawals, transactions and other requests will be cancelled. In addition, in order to calculate the losses of the parties involved, only the attacked accounts can be settled. The settlement price is based on 18:00:00 UTC on August 2, 2016:

BTC/USD:604.06000000
ETH/USD:10.19050000
ETH/BTC:0.01689900
ETC/USD:2.83700000
ETC/BTC:0.00471495
LTC/USD:3.75180000
LTC/BTC:0.00621295

We will continue to update you on the next developments of the website. All major changes will be notified in advance. We will try our best to keep in touch with you.

Bitfinex has been shut down since Tuesday after losing 119,756 BTC worth 6950万美元.

However, the statement did not mention how Bitfinex would deal with user losses, and its head Zane Tackett said on Reddit that specific details would be announced later today.

Zane Tackett: Tomorrow we will detail how we are responding to this loss and update the withdrawal status.

The Bitfinex hack has caused a stir in the Bitcoin community, as it has become a global Bitcoin exchange that could have accidentally lost such a huge amount of Bitcoin. People can't help but think back to the Mt Gox hack, the Japanese Bitcoin exchange that collapsed in early 2014, ultimately causing customers to lose hundreds of millions of dollars.
