Pasting here some relevant lines from the bit-u chat:

Quote(16:43) Silfax: Update: so the digitalocean server was mysteriously deleted, we're attempting to figure out who it could have been, when, why, and if we can restore somehow.
(16:59) Silfax: We're working on it. I don't personally know what happened yet, but we're doing to do our best.
(16:59) What: DO YOU HAVE A BACKUP?
(17:00) Silfax: If I had wanted to steal the balances I would have left when we had 100 btc in there
(17:00) What: Simple yes or no.
(17:00) Silfax: yes, there is a snapshot of the server

(17:08) Sam: its all gone. Now line up and collect stamps
(17:08) atp1916: no it aint. Silfax has a backup of the server.
(17:08) js: yeah but if someone has axs to the server, they likely stole the wallet.dat

I think they said in the messages something went wrong in the server hosting? Still sketchy situation there though

It's ok.  It confirmed finally.  Thanks.

What client are you using?

My client doesn't prompt me for a fee and I didn't have a problem sending earlier.

That is why the long delay.  Next time be sure to include a fee.    It speeds up the transaction confirmations.

Most wallets/exchanges include a recommended blockchain transaction fee but perhaps where you sent the BTC from did not.

Were you using a blockchain.info wallet perhaps?

I noticed my mobile blockchain.info wallet doesn't include a fee.

My wallet didn't warn me about a fee.  My transaction id:
02ed366a5338a9f44124bcac7cba01bb4c822ef4fd1411337b7bb5b7d165b845

Did you include a fee?
I found out the hard way that my wallet didn't include a fee and ended up waiting 30 hrs for my first confirmation.

Also, if you post the bitcoin transaction ID that will help.

I sent 0.028BTC to the exchange over an hour ago and it hasn't confirmed or shown up.  Can you help?

It finally showed up, thank you

That withdraw was sent with this TX ID: afaca30dc1efce7f603b0917eeefb46cfe3e76c5720ab1ab2cb49e38a7e6ec9e

if it doesn't show up, try restarting your wallet.

I tried to withdraw about 20.9 PTS earlier, and they haven't shown up in my wallet yet, is there an issue with withdrawals currently?

Which time zone is EST?  Wikipedia shows multiple possibilities.
