Got this earlier this morning trying to connect to blockchain.info:
I got this myself too when I tried to look up one of my cold wallets. It timed out because of pages of that stupid "Enjoy", "Sochi" spam transaction was trying to load from blockchain.info website.
Other address without the spam loaded fast.

This is one reason why I don't store my bitcoins on exchanges or in other hosted wallets. I am completely unaffected. Hopefully this event will knock some sense into some people.
And while I'm on the subject ... sometime in the next few months, the wallet of some major site will be hacked and a bunch of people are going to lose all of there bitcoins. You heard it here first.

Wait, What? Did something important happen? I didn't notice. My client says everything is fine.

Actually blockchain is affected, the data on it is not trustable. Many missing payments, now already chaos. As for shutdown, anything can happen.
You're joking right? I'm on blockchain right now, my wallet has the right funds. Stop spreading FUD... They were DDos'd early which has nothing to do with stolen funds.

That is quite normal for Blockchain.info. They have been slow for a while now and these errors sometimes pop up. Nothing to worry about

Perhaps not as massive an attack as originally thought...
http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2014/02/bitcoin-ddos/
"It turns out that a small number of these bad transactions have been broadcast in the background of the bitcoin network for some time now, but after Mt. Gox went public with its problems, someone cranked up the volume. “Some joker is rewriting thousands of bitcoin transactions and rebroadcasting them,” says Jeff Garzik, a core developer on the bitcoin software. “It’s not a “massive and concerted” attack, probably just a bored teenager with one computer.”"

If this is a "meltdown" then why is the price still over $600....
Exactly. For all the doom and gloomers, look at the price! 1 BTC is still worth a lot of money.
People are really narrow minded when they look at whats going on right now. This time last year what was the price? Under 100? We are still so positive when it comes to price it isn't even funny. Those claiming about meltdowns and other FUD are just mad because they panic sold. Bears will be bears. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with bitcoin. This will blow over, mark my words.

Unless Bitstamp suddenly halts fiat withdrawals as well I wouldn't worry.

Thread title is a little misleading. Possible global shutdown is pretty strongly worded...
The fact that mods do nothing to counter the FUD shows how retarded this forum has become. It's not turtles all the way down, it's trolls.

Holy crap, everybody sell now or say goodbye to your life savings
I would go out on a limb and say that most of the people here don't have their life savings in their bitcoin wallets lol
