They're not going to stop while the price is high. They're going to increase, along with fraud attempts and attempted hacks.

and black PR all over the forums with a dozen shill accounts all crying scam on their competitors. I also see them ratting each other to various agencies esp Gox in EU with no Eurozone license to operate

They don't stop until they're solved. They get worse, as the exchange rate gets higher.

There's serious money in DoS-ing an exchange. Why else did you think it was happening?

this..

and the competitors (government fiat) are the main suspects, as they are the ones to gain most

Cloudflare doesn't do sweet fuck all to prevent DDoS it just 'cleans traffic' which you could do with a pf filter, and keeps a cache of your site up in case it goes down, for whatever that's worth. You need $1,000/mth Black Lotus or Prolexic guaranteed 10Gbps and up protection, or natively host with them for 2Gbps protection which is the majority of Dos attacks.

Or run your exchange on Tor/freenet

Am I the only person who thinks these attacks are fantastic? It's free publicity. And it Highlights the need for MORE LIQUIDITY.

It's seriously starting to become detrimental to the bitcoin economy. Are people angry that they didn't manage to hop on the train before it left the station?

I saw a cloudflare warning page. I thought cloudflare is supposed to protect from DDOS
