please add ' .info ' after the word blockchain.. so people know you are talking about the lame website, and not the protocol EG blockchain.info afterall we dont want any stupid media outlets getting confused and thinking bitcoins protocol network is under attack, when all it is, is a explorer website |

I just pulled it up and it's working, but I would assume it's still under attack as it's running pretty slowly. Since I've had a wallet at the site it's probably the 3rd or 4th time something like this has happened and is the reason I don't keep much bitcoin there. Only bitcoin I plan on moving or spending somewhere else. With that said during these attacks I've never lost any bitcoin. It's just been a hassle when I was trying to access some of the bitcoin I have stored on the site.

What do you have evidence that blockchain being in DOS? I do not want to believe in something without evidence because some time ago I can access blokchain very easily, whether there are other people who get the information that ??  |

Just because you don't use it anymore, doesn't mean those who do is an idiot. If you take enough precautions, blockchain.info wallet is a safe and useful wallet. |

I believe the website blockchain.info is the victim of a DOS attack at least once a week. I've seen them down a few times already. It just shows how successful they are. I keep on trusting them.

I used to be a citizen and a taxpayer. Those days are long gone.

you used the wrong word, should be the blockchain.info, not blockchain itself, so i think should edit your thread, and you know btc is decentralized, so under DOS is impossible imo, and the site is usually down, so this news is not news any more, they should hire more security engineers cause they profited a tons of money everyday.

I use it to check transactions and it seems to do the trick... What is your alternative? |

Why? I use it to check my transactions (confirmation times) every now and then. Nothing wrong with that. |

I agree wholeheartedly. I sure felt like an idiot when I used Blockchain.info as a bitcoin newbie and lost everything. Just don't use it. Problem solved! Edit: Also, as others have already said, I would update the title of your thread. |
