Title: WTF?! DDOSing
Post by: TKeenan on March 06, 2016, 03:47:55 PM
Doesn't it bother anyone that DDosing is heavily pushing down Classic?  Satoshi devised a system where people vote with their software choice.  DDosing is taking away legitimate votes.  It is as if Donald Trump set fire to the ballot boxes containing votes for other people.  WTF?  Is their no bottom for the actions taken by the core people?

For one I wouldnt jump to conclusions that this is paid for by core devs. I do think its something no sane person would resolve to. Be that as it may, it happens, and there are counter measures[1].

There is no way of knowing who is DDOSing who. It might as well be Classic's own supporters ddosing it and then crying about how everyone is out to get them. So pretty much begging for any kind of attention. Or it could be some Core supporters who are doing it. Or maybe it is someone who is just fed up with damn BTC sidechains and they just want to mess them up. There is no way of knowing, so unless solid evidence is presented its just a crapshoot.
