WalletBit is now back online, and we hope our new custom made Anti-DDoS based on Amazon EC2 created by yours truly - is capable of handing this attack.

I am sure that many of you have already figured out that we have some network issues tonight.
We're very sorry about this, and we are working very hard with our network provider to fix the issue.
I will make hourly reports in this thread until everything is restored to working condition.
