Lots of other people have been reporting the same today.

Didn't know you had become a Contentious Enemy of Bitcoin Consensus, hmm?

Kidding aside, they hit me about 5 hours ago, and last weekend. Will I stop running it? No.

Well, looks like the DDoS/spam wars start.

If it really comes down to it, I have a feeling both sides are going to spam and DDoS each other into oblivion at this point.

Let's switch the blockchain to paper. We can post it to each other. I'd love to see them attempt to ddos that.

I didn't realize that and no wonder I can feel my network behaving a bit strange recently.

Hopefully we will have more and more nodes to make the attack more difficult.

Morse code! Smoke signals!

(oh wait...that can be DDOsed too.)

Hmm. Now I've thought about it further, paper is vulnerable to inception and defacing. I think we're going to have to go with tattoos instead. That'll involve a lot of bus travel to show them to each other, not to mention the finite amount of space, but it's the only way.

And whaddya know. We're in altcoinland.
