yep, looks like they ddos'ed it all the way up to $144 
Hopefully, they'll keep it up, and we'll see $200 again before the month is out.

So much stupidity, 
, Bitcoin is doomed - trolls, speculators and now idiots now dominated our comunity.
LOL at DDOSs - look at the Internet, DDOS is something so common these days, there is nothing to worry about.

Low was 114?
Haha, loosers )))
Spent the day doing other stuff, but I can see that I did not miss anything... 
Just another day consolidating before the next rally.

Anyone who believed that is literally mentally disabled. At least now you know and you can save yourself some time at the doctors, just go ahead and tell them you are mentally ill and that you should be removed from society.
failed attack.
DDOS is having much less affect. In fact I think it may cause people to panic buy lol.

At some point, we are just going to get used to DDOS and go out and have a beer. I remember the first time it happened I thought my money was gone, the second time I was nervous, since then I've learned to mostly keep my funds off the exchange, but if I get caught with them on the exchange durring a DDOS, now I just shrug and wait it out. I definitely *do not* click the market order button. No matter what.
Bitcoin going up. I bet that wasn't according to plan

Angry face... disapponted with the lack of a DDoS attack so he can't make a quick buck as they hoped.
I hope you were being sarcasting, and hope that the above sentence is false. If the above sentence is true, then you are a parasitic leech who deserves to die in the most unfortunately comically painful way.
Just my humble opinion... mate.

Even though this attack is very likely fake, the real DDoSer can use the same time to execute a DDoS and cause a larger panic than has been typical lately because then people will think that it is the actual attack.
I wont buy back in for another hour or so, even if I do lose a little bit.
ive seen no news story's yet
15 mins till they "dump" a load of btc....

3. The internet is full of shit.
Just watch those ask walls drop, as the price starts to rise.
QED
T+2min still nothing... fuck this shit I'm gonna buy!
The question is why did you sell at all.
Stupidity. I saw the wall at 120 disappear for a second, and I panicked.
I shouldn't day trade, I always get burnt
Wow a nice clean buy at 121... Small loss due to fees
Reasons:
1. Hacker attack didn't pan out
2. It's Monday so new money coming in
3. USA is waking up... More people set to come online and trade
4. Nobody believes the FUD.
Fuck all action, if anything this leads me to conclude..
1. Nobody cares about the bitcoin rumours
2. People on the forum don't have much money (or lie in their poll votes)

Has anyone seen evidence of the first phase taking action?
maybe thats what they want, people to start push the price up.
because they think its fake, and then little later the real atack start lol

The pastebin says that they'll send press releases out around now. We still have about 22 minutes until the massive selling, if i'm getting my time zone conversions right...
whatever they try to do... its not gonna "Bring bitcoin price < $30 US dollars" like they stated....
can we now commence the really? please?

See you on the other side... If they do DDOS this forum.
Actually, according to pastebin they are going to DDoS https://www.bitcoitalk.org so we are safe!
T+1min Nothing...
and Boom.... see... nothing happens...

T-5mins quiet. Not much change.
Can you please change your username to massiveSIGman ?
Or change your annoyingly large sig ...
T-3Mins, actually saw a couple of buys... Waiting with anticipation, surely a few people will sell... Just for kicks?
T-5mins quiet. Not much change.
The obvious scam to pull is:
Announce DDoS and coordinated selloff
Only do a small selloff or just the DDoS
People think the whole thing is happening so they sell
Even if there is a DDoS, hopefully people don't fall for it.

T-7mins a few sells.. Some red bars.. Nothing too crazy
* evilscoop tunes into clark moody to watch the lag not move
Yeah...
Less than 10 mins, you'd think if people were on edge you'd start to see some sharp selling right now.
Why wait till 15:30 exactly?
Then again if there's any legitimacy you'd think it would happen exactly on time.

Well, we'll find out soon 20 mins to go.
Seems nothing going to happen.

how does it sem that way? you said yourself its 20 more minutes
11 mins now left
If anything good comes of this fake attack it is that the "huddled masses" will be more desensitized to FUD. They will be even more cognizant of the fact that things on the internet are often times completely made up.

I'll voice an opinion during and after attacks but not before - that's really stupid.
Clearly the attackers read this forum thoroughly to gauge sentiment and possible reaction to their little kiddie games.

my bet:
when people realize that the event won't happen - everybody, who was holding his fiat ready to go, starts panic buying and price will top 130 USD today.

maybe someone read the "instruction manual" wrong... and ddosing bitstamp into oblivion instead of the others
Just place some buy orders in the low area, if ir drops you get cheap coins.
If you all start falling for this and try to "soll coins while it's still high", they don't even need to attack.

Why ddos bitcoinity if you also ddos mtgox?
Bitcoinity works via the mtgox api.
So yeah, bullocks and just a hoax to get the price down.
They did this before.

To be honest with you, I'm more scared when bitcoinity goes down than Gox.
I'm used to Gox going down now, if bitcoinity takes a hit feels like I'm blind.

This sounds like one teenager's fantasy. I doubt there are any real resources behind this idea.
I'd agree... seems full of shit.
Some I can believe, but the bit about 250,000BTC. Can't really swallow that one.
That's 30million dollars.. No way they've got that.
$200k to drop below 120. That to me seems like the psychological barrier.
$480k to get to 125
Seems like it wouldn't take much to tip the market. Maybe the hoax is enough?
I can't believe this nonsense getting so much attention on here and over at Reddit. Clearly a slow news day in the world of Bitcoin.
I have to say the dearth of interesting stories and speculation discussion over the last few days is making me rather bearish.
Grrr.

Sold a couple and will rebuy if the chaos materializes - enough to make it interesting, but not enough to make it matter much either way.
Yeah I'm waiting for the price to climb a little bit, if the price is ok, I'm planning to sell just before but I'm also ready to dump at the first sign of panic.
I reckon people got the same idea. This could work out quite profitably if you're first to sell
Ouch... Well seems the price is going down... I sold at 22!!

It's BS. I can't believe you guys are actually falling for this and not dismissing it like the other obviously fake pastebins.
Exactly. Every pastebin I've seen has been fake, what is it about them that makes people react like my avatar? 
You do notice Bitstamp, their designated exchange for the buys, is out of order, don't you?
This!
The attack is gonna be postponed until bitstamp is in working condition again.
Perfect time to rush home and grab some popcorn before i can start panic buying/smashing F5.
Coins have already been sold, as there's no reason to expect the rate to rise substantially in the next couple hours.
Buy order is already entered. The gamble is, assuming the plan unfolds as expected, how low will the rate go?
If my order executes, I win some cheap coins! If not, I buy back once things calm down, hopefully at least a little below what I sold them for this morning.
It's BS. I can't believe you guys are actually falling for this and not dismissing it like the other obviously fake pastebins.
I already have my bids in and ready to go. Lag be damned.
So they ddos the hell out of mt.gox.. and then want to buy cheap via mt gox? hahaha
17:00 UTC - Stop ddos, buy as much cheap bitcoin from MTGOX as possible as quickly as you can
How about the provider Null-Routes them again... Shitty operation imho
