Blockchain under DOS!

[franky1]

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.

corrected already

sorry for any misunderstanding....

change the title too

I hope it's just rumors, in blockchain was where I store all BTC that I have, I hope blockchain able to overcome the DOS attack 

this is where you need to have backed up the private keys
(Export wallet)

then even if blockchain.info goes offline you can use the private keys on another service, preferably a proper wallet not a webservice

Does that mean blockchain.info ain't a better service to be used as???
I have been storing all my coins there only, and don't currently have the keys with me, I guess someone even tried to hack my wallet as I got emails from blockchain with the code that I need to enter in order to get into my account, but the strange thing was that, I didn't even go there to log in...

this is bullshit. honestly i belive blockchain and i am a blindly beliver and why dont ? we know its concept its securiry abd even how it works abd anyone who knows little about databases and get a clear idea what is exactly happening there . i dont think its do easy to hack it until someone try to hack their databases directly. and as we know "hacking blockchain.info's database is impossible" atleast for this generous.hey i know there are so many masterminds around here but i am not challenging you to do so i am just telling the fact so please all the hackers dont go to hack it :p

This whole afternoon I have been tring to log in the blockchain.info account, which was showing sms code was sent. But I never received any code in my phone. I tried a few times then my account got locked. Did you face such problem?

Blockchain.info is getting worse day by day due to their constant server outrages. I only use Blockchain.info for verifying transactions and so it's not a big deal for me though. Well, I shifted to blockr.io from now on.

Never store all your coins on an online wallet. Although transaction processing is easy, yet you are pretty much risking yourselves in getting your coins stolen at any point of time. Why don't you simply use Electrum or Armory?

But those are for light transactions if I am not wrong???
I tried the Bitcoin-QT wallet itself but it takes lot of space on my disk which my PC can't allocate, which is why I have been using blockchain.info wallet since then...

Probably we can switch to spv wallet, like electrum or multibit which don't require you download any blockchain and will save your hard drive space!

This is a common occurrence on blockchain.info

this has been happening since the spring/summer of last year. I don't think it is a ddos "attack" per se. Just a lot of incoming transactions that the network can not handle all sent at one given time. Non intentionally that is, so not an attack just the normal activity from bitcoin users sending and receiving their transactions.
