He sent us an email with a 10,000 BTC ransom.
Ransom payment is the killer app that will cause bitcoin to take off. Why don't they go after higher value targets? Maybe the best defense is too find a higher value target, email the attacker and say hit this guy instead. He can afford to pay your 10k BTC.  |

The network tries to produce one block per 10 minutes. It does this by automatically adjusting how difficult it is to produce blocks.

Second one went out shortly after. Sorry for the delay, but when you do 2 transfers similar amounts and close to each other our fraud filter will ask us to approve the second one, which we did.
Thanks
I understand about the fraud filter, however I only received one of the two transactions.  Responded to your PM. |

I hate to post in two threads, but I don't know if my post in the other thread will get noticed.
I'm still having trouble accessing the site. I can get the form to specify input and destination for the transfer, put in my info, etc, but then when I go to generate the money-transfer form I get either a page that says "none", or an offline cached version of the transaction form, missing all images and such. Is this a known issue?

Aha! So did I! My captcha wasn't loading on Chrome or IE, which is bizarre. Thanks for the suggestion!

If you don't own the private keys, you don't own the coins.

I can make it through the process all the way where it gets to "Create Payment Slip" and that button does nothing but turn white when I click on it.

Who stands to gain from DDOS-ing bitinstant?  Maybe a currency manipulator wanting to create a short term panic to buy in low |

That is exactly what I'm seeing, and I need to get some coins NOW before the friday sale wraps up! I'll PM Yankee and see if he can get in touch with the ZipZap folks. |

Just wanted to let you know that we are still working on resolving this as soon as possible. I don't have a firm ETA on a fix yet but hopefully tonight -Charlie |

I don't need the slip if I can just get the information that goes on it. I have half of it memorized.

Host with blacklotus, buy a dedicated server behind their 10Gbps native ddos protection, fuck these blackmailers. It's $400/mth, but maybe you can cut a deal with them so they can accept bitcoins for payment.
Cloudflare is just scrubbing traffic they are not at all ddos protection
