Hi, first post for me, so newbie it hurts (heard about bitcoin 3 days ago). Looks like an awesome community here.

I signed up for the "bitcoin randomizer" a couple days back. Was surprised to see upon logging in that they are currently not accepting coin, and that they are "under attack."

What is going on with them?

There is a post on here that discusses some of the details.  In a nutshell, the server was hacked and someone set many of the payout addresses to two of his own.  Also, I think a few of the login credentials were also changed.

We haven't heard anything concrete from the owner for few days.

Check out the original thread for further details:

A Personal Quote on BTT from 2011:
"I'd be willing to make a moderate "investment" if the value of the BTC went below $2.00.  Otherwise I'll just have to live with my 5 BTC and be happy. :/"  ...sigh.  If only I knew.
