Early this morning the Coinbase exchange went down and stayed down for hours. It was ddos.
What motivated the attackers, does it have something to do with the block size conflict?

multiple issues.
people are angry that coinbase went with hearnes version of bitcoin. and then hearn saying bitcoin failed
people are angry that another exchange called cryptsy "dun goxed"
the price tanked so some people feel if the exchange is offline and cant trade. it cant lose
some even speculate that coinbase themselves took it offline so that people wont panic sell

Many rumors are coming around. Probably just like the words Mike Hearn mentioned. Any pools , exchanges, nodes etc which are running XT will get ddos attacks until xt are offline.. Attackers are hating XT.

because apparently they like to play, like it is a game http://map.norsecorp.com/there is any source that say that coinbase itself is not attacking someone else? maybe this is an exchange warfare |

There are a lot of rival exchanges that might benefit from Coinbase going down and being unstable. A lot of people lost faith in Coinbase with their supposed XT testing period. Nobody will know until they are tracked and exposed and these people go to great extremes to hide their identity. Industrial espionage and the sabotaging of rivals are common place and companies are investing millions to counter these attacks. Coinbase should invest more in people and resources to counter these attacks, because they are one of the main role players in this field and will come under constant attacks. |

This ever happened to Blockchain and the other online wallet service, and it's usual.
You don't have to ask why

They were trading a lot lower than other exchanges today. Looked very much like price manipulation to me. Great someone took it on. My best guess is: attacker saw this too and decided to put them on standby for a while to protect the marketcap of bitcoin. |

How can one find out for sure which Bitcoin version Coinbase is using? I'm not doubting you, I just want to see for myself.

The panic selling prevention which was followed up by coinbase being offline happened yesterday. I am sure they were offline because some actual DDOS attack because of Mike Hearn. It's too big of a coincidence that it happen because of the price tanking. |

Mar 24, 11:41 PDT from https://coinbase.statuspage.ioThe most recent attacks are because Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong supports classic. Some dark actors want to punish him for it, by forcing him to spend money defending his website, and upsetting customers. The bitcoin space isn't a nice one at the moment. |
