That's a nice looking webpage you got there. Be a real shame if anything was to happen to it.
Send the bitcoins to 1B6MKB2MqY5LpM66fz4WJAeoer6ELGVGTx and nobody gets hurt.
/Russian gangster accent Hmm, doesn't sound very intimidating. Why would cybercriminals target such a tiny place anyway? Is DDOS that cheap nowadays? Hmmm.... *registers BitCannon.ru* *creates site that automates the DDOS<->extortion<->BTC process*

When somebody is DDOSING with his botnet he will likely loose a lot of bots. So i would think, its not a thread at all, maybe for a few days or weeks but a botnet operator would need to be sure to be compensated to move these resources. Guess, there are hundreds of ways for a botnet owner to monetize.
As a pool operator its much more important to care about the server security and the latest 0days, for example the plesk 0day a month ago or so was really ugly.

Would it solve DDoS threats to put all services in Tor? Isn't it kinda DoS-proof?

Im not knowledgeable enough to give a concrete statement, but, if its hosted like silkroad for example the bots would probably need tor, so the botherder would need to install tor on them to be able to ddos as i understand it. If thats correct the question should be is the tor network fast enough? How much effort is it for a botherder to run tor on his bots?

It appears they are adding DDOS protection, they probably are creating a mirror right now. I suggest everyone creates back-ups NOW, and start looking at DDOS protection.

I could gather such a tool if youre interested, however, could be a fake soft tough. I really dont know soo much about this stuff but i find it very interesting as im about to launch a pool. Just starting to read in this topic, intersting keywords too are cloud hosting, managed firewall and load balancer.

Seems like there is a demand for a "Protection Business" ... pay some regularly and you get security services for your site that may include things like unspecified counter-attacks against attackers and other black arts that could serve as deterrents against would-be threats.

Is this a serious proposal?? In real world this pattern is known as racketeering: put a shop on fire and then offer protection to the threatened owner. Do we really want Bitcoinland go that route?

No one should ever pay a DDOS ransom. Eventually you can quell the attack with multiple solutions. DDOS is unsustainable and is a US Felony.
