Bring down the Empire!

Bring down the Empire!

As much as I like to see things fall apart, I'd prefer not to see another exchange go down.  And I mean down as in Gox and Cryptsy.  It'd be nice if there were at least a few of them operating so people could buy bitcoin and trade shitcoins--and I mean that sincerely.  Can't someone with some business sense open one of these up?

Take  down the only good exchange out there... not cool, whats the point?

The point can be destroy competitors and to promote other crypto exchanges? Maybe it is DDOS attack conducted by another exchange?
I've seen something like that before in the past. There is always the point hidden.

good point. anyway, the BTC-e's clients are out of their funds now...If the website won't be back tomorrow, it will start a new "Gox" rumor.

Keep in mind that the chinesse volumes are fake. Okcoin appears with over 60% from market and BTC China with 21% while the China gov has banned financial transactions that involve BTC since a year ago.The chinese banks should not deal with BTC exchangers like Okcoin and same with their clients.

Yes, they are down but no need to panic. This has happened before, simple DDoS. They ll fix it, just dont generate FUD, not good for crypto.

Also, NEVER keep your coins on the exchange.

The improved DDoS protection will cost them more money and it's not guaranteed to work 100%. The increased transactions on other exchanges might be due to this. Let's just

hope this is a legitimate attack and not some concocted event to create the next Mt Gox. The timing for this is perfect, because the stock markets are on the verge of

collapsing and people might be turning to Bitcoin for it's wealth storage capabilities.

Site is back on and bitcoin price is up.
