Because it [almost] works. I still block when loadavg goes too high, but it somehow works.

so some ppl r getting into your site while most others, like me, cannot?

The Silver Lining in the Cloud

This is actually very GOOD news for the Bitcoin world.  The lunatics out there who launched this DDoS attack on MtGox have actually forced MtGox to harden its protection again such attacks...   which is a VERY VERY GOOD THING for MtGox... and thus, for all of us.

"In a minute" MtGox will be back online... stronger and more secure than ever before.

That could also lead to higher exchange fee rates  Sad

I wouldn't go so far as to "thank" those idiots who attacked MtGox...   But, in reality...   The end result will BENEFIT MtGox AND us all.


It's the silver lining in this bad situation.

Would it be possible to bring Mt.Gox up at a scheduled time to avoid advantages to certain people due to downtime? Can we get a confirm on this being caused by the BTCex.com guy?

You'll never be able to prove who is responsible for the DDoS.



Unless they admit it it is confirmed quote from btcex admin in other post "Oh, yes, exactly, well, then I turn off my ddos and start writing p2p exchange!"

Edit: I can't believe he somehow justifies his attack on you Tux I'm glad he stopped why couldn't he think of creating a p2p exchange in the first place?  If a competitor is beating you improve your service don't napalm the competitors office then say "ok I'll stop napalming his office and try to make an alternative service instead" and expect it to be all ok.  Sorry you had to deal with this Tux.

Interesting how this is unfolding...

Just 3 days ago I started checking the prices on Mt Gox ~twice a day. Those last couple days were amazing seeing the prices jump.  Smiley

I'm perfectly aware of this, mostly just wanted to mention that it's the largest potential suspect so people don't flock to it.

I think he's not directly responsible, but may have mentioned publicly (in Russian) that he'd like trading to stop on mtgox, and got some "friends" who offered their help.

I think the owner pretty much admitted it lol

I wasn't planning on naming anyone or even mentioning Russia, however given how things are now it makes little difference~

Great. I sent 250btc to mtgox just before it went down. I never saw confirmation on the pages until it actually went down - was there any db loss that might cause my BTC to disappear?

edit: I see in the other thread that someone else had this problem and you assured them that theirs are safe. I guess I'll just wait then.

anisoptera, don't panic. Nothing's lost and everything will be back to normal within 24 hours.
