Title: LTC Network Under Attack? Post by: Hadez on April 04, 2013, 01:35:39 PM Burnside is down
Notroll is down BTC-E has been experiencing DDoS's Is this the attempts of another crypto coin group to discredit LTC? Or is this an attack by a bot group hoping to cause a crash in the prices as they missed the gravy train last week? Thoughts on a postcard please. P.S This maybe better in the Alt Currencies thread but I'm a noob =P Title: Re: LTC Network Under Attack?

Maybe I'm wrong. Title: Re: LTC Network Under Attack? Post by: SlickMcFavorite on April 04, 2013, 02:22:31 PM Possibly unrelated, but Litecoinpool.org is down as of 10:23 EST.
Title: Re: LTC Network Under Attack? Post by: phylogrammet on April 04, 2013, 02:23:47 PM I'm not really sure, but it would appear to be a simple DDoS against the pools and nothing outrageous like a 51% attack.
I guess, essentially, both would have similar implications though. I'm not entirely sure what happens in either case! It wouldn't seem to be affecting the value of LTC at btc-e.com, but time is money for a miner. Title: Re: LTC Network Under Attack? Post by: SlickMcFavorite on April 04, 2013, 02:24:55 PM Performing a DDoS against some of the largest pools in a network and THEN performing a 51% attack it kind of a brilliant idea, no?
