Just their "marketing" website. Trading systems look normal.

Not sure whether it's the same site but the site which hosts current prices is unresponsive: http://cfe.cboe.com/cfe-products/xbt-cboe-bitcoin-futures

Cool, it looks that the prices for 1 months now are set at about 15000-16000 (like what it's now). There's some volume (currently it's few million dollars in 10-20 minutes, we'll see if it really goes up to a billion per day)

And here I thought it was Bitcoin that had scaling issues. Someone should make a futures market for Bitcoin on the Ethereum block chain settled in ETH just for irony.

It's just the website. Per twitter, "All trading systems are operating normally."

Can someone explain how the bid/ask and data for futures can be interpreted? Sorry futures noob here.

Bid is latest buy order. Ask/Offer is latest sell order.

Many exchanges have the “maker-taker” model. If you add liquidity to the order book, you are paid by the Exchange. If you take liquidity away from the order book, you pay the Exchange.

Looks like it is clearing up a bit. Had been waiting in excess of 48 hours for a token transfer. wasn't confidence inspiring.

It's not the latest order, it's the highest (bid)/lowest (ask) _open_ order.

The bid is the highest price of all open buy orders. If you're selling, this is the maximum price you can make a sell order for and have your order instantly filled.

The ask is the lowest price of all open sell orders. If you're buying, this is the minimum price you can make a buy order for and have your order instantly filled.
