I would guess that it is the government attempting to determine the location of the SR servers in ways similar to how SR1's servers were found. They likely wanted to do this before SR2 would have time to implement "fixes" to avoid the same vulnerabilities as the FBI's methods were revealed recently.

From what I have read they are being DDoS'ed which is likely something similar to what the FBI did to Sr1.

They actually removed the CAPTCHA months ago.

"Community,

We are facing a very sophisticated DDoS attack, the most advance methods we have faced yet.

The dev team is working around the clock to get marketplace service restored, as well as watch the security of our systems closely.

Much of the downtime you have seen is intentional on our part: if this is an attempt to locate our servers through packet analysis, we do not want to make it easy for our adversary and would rather be offline while we adapt our defenses.

We apologize for the inconvenience, thank you for your patience as we rush to remedy the situation.

Defcon"

It's all just a part of a bigger conspiracy in my opinion.

Another silk road crash means another opportunity for ATH.

Except that the market hardly meets people expectations.

Bitcoin price crashed after Silkroad stolen coin and FBI but after this problem bitcoin price achieved all time high Smiley Another silk road crash means another opportunity for ATH.

Same thing I was thinking. I have watched both SR crashes effect BTC price.

I have a feeling another 2+ million in BTC is going to be stolen.
Thoughts?
