Dead cat bounce to 190 and down again? We'll know in the morning...

ddos back in effect too, this is far from over

As I true believer, I am holding some of my coins. But I see this very very bad xDDD

How can we tell when a DDOS is taking place?

F5 at clarkmoody

 its almost midnight here.

i am tired. fkn laaaaaaaaaaaaaaag.

i go to bed and not sell.

let´s see what has happened when i wake up.

How long can the DDOS possibly go on? Can't all the IPs be banned at some time?

Of course it is going to zig zag, that is what... markets... do... After something this huge it is extremely unlikely it would just climb back up 300 immediately. It could be back to 150, lower, and then back up to 170 back and forth. Kinda normal.

this is just a great test for bitcoin and evidence that we need a p2p exchange

The alternative is that ddos attacks will become a permanent feature!

I don't understand.

That's the first D - if the botnet is sufficiently distributed across the net you would end up banning such a large portion of the net it would just boost the DOS.

well, at least for me, first CM will slow down, then hang altogether.  For a time you can get snapshots by reloading the page, but as the lag worsens the Gox API becomes unavailable to CM even for that
