Welcome to trading in a real free market with no regulations. What alternative exchange do you recommend sir ? The shady Russian one at BTC-E ? Honestly this post is a farce.....

http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=a%3amtgox.com# Code: ptr:72.52.5.67 ptr But that doesn't mean Prolexic can stop the attack fully either. And just because Prolexic say within 20 minutes it's going through their scrubbing centres may not mean anything. It would be interesting/nice to see some attack details in terms of botnet and bandwidth size. Looking at the volume of trades which doesn't seem out of this world, I would think there is a scalability issue which is complicated when a DDoS attack occurs.

For the short term, staying with MtGox, may the following rules help curb the DDOS attempts? - limit number of trade executions within a specific time frame, AND - trader must trade minimum $1 in fiat or equivalent in BTC Title: Re: Mt.Gox is full of shit, got to go.

You mean that one website that keeps changing my edits about Charlie Sheen from "Half man, half cocaine," to something actually factual? Yeah I hate those guys. No sense of humor.

Yeah I hate those guys. No sense of humor. I believe you're right. I believe I've seen people ask others to write Wikipedia articles about themselves for cash. I don't doubt they'll want to look good. However, the rumor that Wikipedia is completely full of shit is much too popular :P Title: Re: Mt.Gox is full of shit, got to go.
