Topic: Bitcoin is finished - and not because of the price.... (Read 2109 times)
Anyway, this thread is pretty much pointless. Locking.
If every user who wants to run a small website gets DDoS'd into the ground, I don't think the internet will catch on.
FTFY
Safety in numbers, as time goes on, and bitcoin grows, this will become less and less of a problem.
1) How do you know it is a DDOS attack?
2) What have these extornianists demanded?
Its much more likely someone has just planted a trojan on your machine, and its now under their control not yours.
You shouldn't be running a serious website from home. Doh.
The extortionists didn't demand anything from me, but they have from another WhiskChat [now DDoS'd] user.
I don't run whiskchat from home, and I don't have a trojan.
If every bitcoiner who wants to run a small startup site gets DDoS'd into the ground, I don't think Bitcoin will catch on.
Whats are the chances though?

Just a suggestion from cat to cat: build a mousetrap.I.e., if you want to do business, get DDoS-Protection.
Hint, hint: use a VPN to hide your home IP, if you want to avoid something like that.
I think he's just trolling, most ISP's use dynamic IP's. All you would need to do is reconnect and the attacker no-longer knows your IP address.

I guess he's got the problem that his IP is visible on his chat site somewhere. If that's the case, he's got a problem.If every bitcoiner who wants to run a small startup site gets DDoS'd into the ground, I don't think Bitcoin will catch on.

Why kind of script kiddy DDOS's a home connection? What does that accomplish...
These extortionist will get caught and thrown in prison eventually. Every scumbag takes an easy opportunity to prey on the weak.
I don't think his problem is Bitcoin. It's more likely what he said to someone on his chat site or maybe on here.
Firstly every data center has a ddos protection. Secondly it's not like every kid hacker has means to set up a ddos attack from his garage. You sound like a guy who's affraid to buy a car because it might get stolen or damaged in an accident.

Because bitcoin is still small, and so any business is going to be vulnerable. But, there are also advantages to being the first to market. But, if you haven't got the balls for it then, yes, you should probably get out.
Then what the HECK has this to do with bitcoin?
