Seals Team, great work on this. I'm sure it's been a couple of days/nights of pulling your hair out. I am fiendin' and missing the Saturday Guarantee, but I can live another day (or few hours, as the case may be).

I saw in another thread that BTContilt.com has a flashy website up and running. What's the deal there? The other thread talked about being scammed, in this thread somebody mentioned they shut down after a really bad DDoS attack - were they legit, or a shitty flash in the pan Seals competitor?

Cloud flare is also a shit service that has constant issues. Any respectable host would have figured this out by now and had you back up.


Not necessarily, it really all depends on the severity of the attack.

Cloudflare is great.  It will protect you against anything.  Except an actual DDoS, then it's not worth shit.

You live and you learn.

I deal with people all day who come to us because their site is down and I see they are using cloudflare and can only say "if you had your DNS pointed to us you'd be back up by now".

Who is us?

im pretty sure the way cloud flare works isn't really helpful for running the protocols they are running, and even then it isn't hard to get around cloud flare >.<

We are getting closer, but it will likely still be over 6 hours.

Have you considered establishing some kind of cartel of BTC gambling sites (or BTC sites in general)?  It seems like DDoS is going to continue to be a huge issue, and considering the high cost of mitigation, maybe you should try to pool resources?

It may be that it would be more cost-effective to establish some kind of in-house DDoS mitigation services within the BTC community than just paying these very high-priced commercial services most of your profits just to stay in existence.

There are a lot of smart people in the BTC community.

There may also be some advantage in pooling resources to track down this particular DDoS piece of shit, because it seems to be the same person/entity.  A very public revenge could be a salutary lesson to others considering the same thing.

We (players) are fine.  Thanks for keeping us updated and we will be back!

The web in general, and especially BTC-related operations, I just EXPECT that things are not always going to be available.

So are you saying CB isn't working, or that Seals isn't cashing out?


Sorry just confused by your wording.

active work continues.

My personal best guess is still hours and hours away.

Freemoney + Seal Team 6 is working constantly, and as of now is actively engaged in server conditioning.

Should still be hours and hours, but the boys are on it and the end of this process should be massive DDoS protection by a company that specializes in it and SealsWithClubs running on a much faster machine. 

While that doesn't help anyone out right now and we apologize for the extended downtime, we are doing our best and think the end result will be a much stronger SwC.

again I ask for patience and to bear with us.  It sucks.  I want it back too.  Freemoney likely wants it back most.  or maybe Crosby.

I'm betting crosby.  And maybe me, so I can stake him and scream at him to win.

Blabla blabla

Didn't you say you were cashing out and fucking off?  Why don't you get to that, you weirdo?
