    It does have a tendency to fluctuate just a tiny bit in value though as opposed to actual money.

    Only if it's regulated properly, at which point its characteristics will fall generally into line with other currencies.

    Because deregulating the currency markets won't result in any more of the type of problems we're seeing today?

    AIB visa debit card worked fine about an hour ago, and transaction is showing on the account too. I have a MasterCard credit card so wouldn’t have been stuck thankfully

    I would try to get my hands on some cash If I were you. It's not certain what caused this - it may be a cyber attack. Although when I was in Aldi an hour ago I overheard one of the shop assistances saying they were back working it could possibly happen again.

    Took 50e from an AIB atm at 1930(ish) no problem.
    Used contactless (via Google pay on phone)payment for beer in the Offie also aib, no hassle either.

    Debit card wouldn't go through in Lidl though (non contactless) (visa), but contactless visa credit went through.

    Madness.

    It's funny how angry people get when the things they take for granted stop working, half the people in Tesco earlier who got caught out where giving out to the staff like it was their fault.

    In fairness, majority of work places pay only in credit payments, if the powers that be and banks want a cashless society then fail places need to be in place for stuff like this.

    The fact there is either a massive cyber attack and no DR in place or both are after been taken off the grid is piss poor planning for what essentially is the architecture of the virtual payment systems.

    Imagine a TIER 1 ISP going offline, with no DR like AT&T half the internet would be down. It's just unacceptable to allow such power to a company without proper fail safes in place like a completely isolated separate infrastructure in place, for situation exactly like this, this incident I imagine will cost into the 100s of millions in losses, this isn't exactly the Playstation network here.

    Mastercard and Visa, should have an agreement in place that if one goes offline the other can help out. Like ISPs would.

    The silence is deafening about what is actually happening too, which is very worrying, Ulster Bank done the same, thinking they had no reason to answer to the customers previously and the system was down for days.

    Can confirm this was as much fun as people offering me a few euros in coppers saying 'this is all I have' when their total was for a few hundred euros :pac:
