IDK if this was a DoS attack or not, but I saw a reddit post the other day, titled, "The latest Mt. Gox DDOS may have been a turning point. The attacker lost money."

The upshot is that the attackers make money because the (D)DoS makes people panic. If we don't panic, eventually it becomes unprofitable for them to do it, so they might stop.

Nevermind.

Hey all.

I've been reading bits and pieces for a while, but thinking I may actually get involved now.

Cheers.
