    Opentick is testing ground for Xasax.com.

    If this is true, it makes complete sense.

  4. Anyone that has an acct with them, I'm willing to do some free development work - cannot sign up a new acct, and want to do some apps that use their quotes.

    Hello All,

    This is Joshua over at Opentick. No, we're not going out of business. We had a server outtage at the time of the initial post though, so that is the reason the site was down for a few hours.

    We simply just aren't ready yet to bring on new subscribers yet. This transition from our consolidated feed provider to using direct feeds has been a rough one for us, but we are continuing to make progress and hope to have a great system ready to unleash to the public soon.

    Changing the url from feed2.opentick.com to feed1.opentick.com seemed to bring opentick back to business.

  8. Damn, they just billed me for my $2.00 this morning. But their hostname can't be resolved any more!

    Hopefully it's just a DNS glitch.

  9. Doubt it. Xasax DNS servers are up and Xasax feed servers are resolved correctly.

    Moreover, you cannot ping the OT feed servers IPs. They are all down.

    Think it's over.

  10. If they've been doing major work behind the scenes, and still are, disabling their DNS offline from time to time is gonna happen.

    Making a causal connection between DNS resolutions and business continuity is silly IMO.
