Yes, probably.These crackers are damaging the bitcoin economy and so its image. Title: Re: Bit-Pay.com Down for days now?

This is a downright pain indeed, Im a legit provider in the bitcoin economy - not able to take btc payments now due to a little muppets greed. You would think these security orientated idiots ( aka black muppets ) wouldn't attack their own anonymous currency based service providers - e.g Bit-pay. Now, unfortunately i have people sending in tickets saying " i cant pay for my hosting " - sigh. Now here comes the task of setting up manual BTC payments. Title: Re: Bit-Pay.com Down for days now?

These hackers are probably just script kiddies who rented a botnet, they can't take down PayPal, much less keep it down. Title: Re: Bit-Pay.com Down for days now?
