FTWbitcoinFTW ,you alone are expressing aggression.  Be nice bro! Relax.

For example : BTC-E used a "cloudflare" provider and also suffered DDoS attacks. This is  provider problem , not SWC, SWC TEAM do their best to solve the problems.

Agree for my post yesterday.
But today i'm relax, I just put two post in parallel.

btw BTC-E is up.

If you don't mind me asking, whats the reason behind the attack? Have they asked for a ransom? Launching a attack can't be cheap.

Agree. You should express your aggressions to those who arew behind the DDoS attack, not SwC.

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

2 months later, same speech. Word by word !



Yep, and then they fixed it :-) .

I am in contact with Freemoney and the rest of Seal Team 6 including our Host company.   Freemoney, as usual, has 100% immersed himself in handling this situation as safely and quickly as possible, with safely first and foremost.

A guess that should be considered "Micon's Guess" for a timeframe as honestly and I can estimate in my head is ~ 6 hrs.  If it takes 12 hrs I won't be shocked.  If it takes more than 24 hours I will be shocked.

I agree with MrKnowITall in that we should have been more prepared.  This attack will make us stronger for the next one but I agree we need to be proactive and thinking multiple steps ahead as we are quickly becoming a nice target.

Blabla blabla

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.

1)  This current downtime is used to make for more uptime in the future

2)  The Mavens component functioned just fine in this instance.  The DDoS was the issue this time.

3)  As many of our players have likely seen with the rapid development of various SwC organs, let me assure you the technical team I refer to as Seal Team 6 is hard at work as we speak upgrading many components of this site.  We are cooking up a badass low rake poker.  Sit tight, we got you.

Kudos, I am sure that this will make for a great future.

so odd that these ddos attacks have been happening.  no ransom demands like last time?  i guess its possible that large casino interests could be behind it, but honestly i don't think a site with an avg of 300 users would pose much of a threat to them.  its true bitcoin is the future of online gambling/money in general but its still in the "its just a fad" phase in mainstream thinking right now.  i think thats changing but really i can't think of a good motive for attacking seals.  Maybe some hacker had some donk suck out on pocket aces and when he went into the lobby to complain he got trolled.

No ransom demand.

It is hard to guess at the motive with nothing to go on, we're just concentrating on making it as difficult as possible to knock us down in the future.

Honestly it might be worth moving the site to the darknet, or at least adding alternate access methods via a Tor hidden service and/or I2P.

A hidden service gateway would by the nature of tor itself be protected from most forms of DDOS attacks.
