It sounded like it had to do with cloudflare. Are you saying they did not temporary block cloudflare effecting sites that used it?
I'm not saying they blocked bitcoin sites. But it sounded like they blocked cloudflare sites during that period.
It could have been a test to block dolartoday.com (it has happened before). They effectivelly blocked pastebin.org for some time because some people used it to communicate during the recent riots (i had sent several emails to get it unblocked, it was nonsensical, dunno if it was only me, but it works now).
However, as dolartoday uses aws, sometimes they end up impacting other sites (noobs). Their security team is like the infinite monkey theorem, they have a throng of newbies trying shit so eventually they get partial results.
Could be.... but i'm sounding conspirationist now hehe
