Lauda also said that user Lauda is dead or something to that effect but obviously that didn't mean the person died.

I have restored the main page as it was before the attack.

OP started ~10 threads in two days and can barely string together a coherent sentence. Report this shit and move on. Responding to their harebrained "ideas" is a waste of time unless you're desperate for sig campaign quota.

The alleged sale likely took place early in the drama and before the mixer ban, so the account was still very lucrative. Don't feel bad for Ratimov, I'm sure he made some decent coin out of this and is spinning up a new merit farm as we speak.

If he sold the account he doesn't have to care anymore if it's a secret or a firework. Fucked the buyer probably, or maybe not because the buyer seems to have profitably absconded with some signature money if I'm reading the latest nonsense correctly, but either way it's not like account buyers add any value to the forum.

Congratulations Hueristic, I don't think I can make ~70 points needed to win this one, unless Josh Jacobs runs backwards the whole game

It's been a great season for my scrappy team, can't wait to beat you all next year.

I'm still confused as to what the etiquette is regarding PMs to someone's clients. It's seems to be either perfectly acceptable or totally inappropriate to send such PMs, seemingly based on a complex formula involving lunar phases and tea leaves. I assume publishing someone's PMs is contingent to similarly elaborate "rules".

This has been fixed. I didn't notice it because search worked from the home page but was failing from e.g. profile pages. Thank you for reporting this.

It has slowed down a bit but they're still trying. We're just getting better at iptables.


It doesn't make any sense, especially the scope of the attack. No one contacted me (or ibminer as far as I know) with any demands. Perhaps someone just wanted us to lose money on bandwidth etc and it kinda worked for the first few hours or so. But (1) we can take the site down and stop incurring any costs - that will inconvenience users but they are already inconvenienced by the DDOS anyway; and (2) once I had some time to figure out firewall setup the site can function with very little extra bandwidth cost... I hope that's worth it for the plonker who's doing this.

This type of attack (application layer) can take down an onion site just the same, even on a different server. On clearnet I can block at least some of it at the firewall. I don't know much about onion sites but I think my defense options would be more limited.

Anyway, it looks like the attacker is getting bored, traffic is easing off. If anyone is still experiencing issues with the site and/or the extension - please let me know. It should be working fine unless I screwed something up and blocked something I shouldn't have. The "Enter" link on the home page will remain there for a little longer, just in case the attacker reads this and gets all petulant again and decides to throw more traffic at it.

DDOS attack won't affect your extension or your browser directly. Of course if the extension needs to fetch something from the server (like rank and DT level as you mentioned) and the server is being DDOSed, it may not be able to get that information. But there is no safety issue.

What do the last two columns mean?

Edit: never mind, I think I figured it out... user's merit total before the 24h window and after.

Yeah I'm playing whack-a-mole with the attacker now, either I will run out of disk space of a blacklist, or the dipshit will run out of IPs. So the site may go off and on unfortunately while this is happening.

Please use that thread to discuss this issue... yes, it's a DDOS attack, site is kinda sorta working right now but not sure how long. Someone is very determined to take it down so this nonsense might last a while until they get bored.

Yeah I tried that... unfortunately didn't work out too well.

The webserver is unable to serve even static pages at the rate it's being hammered. ~70 million requests per hour. Nor does it make sense to pay for that much bandwidth. I'm working to have these shitheads blocked at the edge before incurring any costs.

If you're not the original owner of the account and try to hide that fact - you can't be trusted. Attempting strawman fucktrollery like you're doing here just confirms that suspicion.

So just sign the message and stop multiposting (now THAT breaks the rules).

Thank you for the offer but this isn't organic traffic so throwing more resources at it doesn't seem right. Need to filter it off as far away from the server as possible.
