I was quoted $200 for such a service. (I did not order it.)

Another obvious instance of made up bullshit from this guy.

Computers cost money, even hijacked ones.

Anyone got a ballpark estimate how much these guys are spending to run these attacks?

Not sure of the accuracy, but an anaylsis of a previous DDOS was done here:

http://thegenesisblock.com/have-we-reached-a-turning-point-for-bitcoin-ddos/

They said anywhere from a couple hundred to one thousand USD.

I have no experience to be able to tell if this is close or not though.

If its planned DDOS
Strange why they not continue longer time, to buy at even lower price

I owe my soul to the Bitcoin code...
I wonder if it was a sideways buy in.  DDOS Gox and then buy the dips elsewhere.

Well, the price dropped $5 on a major DDoS.  We're getting used to this Smiley

Any professional service run by professionals in a professional manner would not be kept running when it is at a fraction of functionality and allowing people to trade blind.

However, it doesn't really matter - because people are silly enough to continue using it. Looks like y'all can't handle the responsibility of a consumer in a free market Grin

Various Goxxian Excuses
-"Nowhere else has volume" (what good is volume when you can't access it half the time or end up losing it all in a panic market sell that ends up being executed after the dip has already happened and you don't even see the price until after it's rebounded)
-"I can't get money anywhere else" (Look around, plenty of exchanges with various funding options. CampBX in US even allows USPS money order by mail in ~2 days)
-"All the other places are cheap sketchy fly-by-night operations that have been hacked" (And Gox is.... a cheap sketchy fly-by-night operation that has been hacked, so your point?)

Hopefully, if you are here and you use Gox, I have deeply offended you and shamed your family Grin Grin Grin

Keep clicking your ruby slippers together, Dorothy, and saying "Gox will implement a new trading engine... Gox will implement a new trading engine... Lag will be a thing of the past... Lag will be a thing of the past..." any day now Wink Kinda like those BFL ASICs Grin

Lag at 40 seconds. 110 starting to fortify.

Looks like the attacker started buying in at 110, catching the bottom.

Bought at $116, little early but I don't regret it Tongue If the other exchanges didn't go below $100 I don't think gox should either

Down to 3 minute lag. I've seen orders everywhere from $124 to $115 in the last 2 minutes.

This could get pretty bad if they don't cut down on the lag. 23 minutes already

Edit: Lag decreasing quickly though

In the meantime bitcoinity looks cool even if not very helpful, kindly pointing to an ancient bid price Wink
