I don't know why people care about coinwallet.eu at all. They can't succeed anything without community support. That's very bad marketing strategy for them.

Not supporting them. Several tests like this should be done on a testnet first.
This is the best idea in the whole wide world. But I did not know of these folks until this debacle 😳

Hours later, still going strong: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/coinwallet.euImmune to this sort of attack, they say?

I woulda thunk you were old enough to be confident that technology DOES improve. In fits and starts, but over the long term it definitely gets better.

I was in the "don't DDOS them" camp until I realized they were pushing a 3rd-party web wallet agenda. That's scummy. Wouldn't even surprise me if these stress tests were an expensive attempt at advertisement, with the end game of eventually pulling an epic exit scam.

I've been periodically checking https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/ This shit is nothing. Are nodes doing a much better job of filtering or is this attack wimpy? Right now tradeblock is saying the mempool is only 2.47MB. I remember the mempool was at 50MB+ in earlier attacks.

What CoinWallet.eu is doing harms the reputation of Bitcoin. With them stressing Bitcoin, people who are unaware of this and pays a slightly lower fee would result in their transaction getting stuck on the blockchain. Especially if the transaction requires one confirmation to be processed. People who see this stress test would think that Bitcoin isn't as fast as other payment methods when it comes to daily goods and they would be less inclined to use it.

Nope not for me. Still down. And to be honest I wouldn't care if they stay down. Spamming the network the way they do and at the same time making propaganda for their own wallet is beneath contempt. F*** them I say!

downforeveryoneorjustme.com says it's up again, but I've cleared brower history/cache repeatedly and can't resolve the page. It did seem to come back up after 6-8 hours yesterday. Seems someone is definitely messing with them.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3jjnnz/attacking_bitcoin_in_the_uk_offences_under_the/cupuun0From Mike Hearn's reply to coinwallet.eu: We know that the address on your website is fake but consider this: you have a large footprint. You have a website, have been talking to the media, have been posting to reddit and are running Bitcoin nodes on the network. If you have made just one mistake that means people can find you, and if you live in a part of the world with a non-joke legal system, then you are very possibly going to end up in prison. You can't argue your way out of it as you seem to think you can.

Coinwallet.eu's address is as real as the one Coinbase lists as their address. I don't know where Mike is going with that one...
