is BTC-E down?

[Wekkel]

The MtGox exchange got hacked mid 2011 and the hacker dumped a lot of BTC from hacked accounts on the exchange. The result was an instant price drop from $17 to $0.01. I think there are still people that have a continuous buy order at $0.02 at MtGox or anywhere else, just for that reason

If it is a DDOS again it is probably due to the high price of LTC than continued NVC support. NVC came crashing down at the same time that Khaos changed his Khore pool to payout at 120 confirmations rather than 520.

Then again last time this happened because of LTC, litecoinpool was DDOS attacked as well so maybe it is something else.

Could you explain the bolded text

It happened before when the BTC block reward halved. The LTC hashrate and price went up as miners moved over from BTC. Then litecoinpool and BTC-e was hit by a week long DDOS after which the extra interest that LTC had gained was lost and some more. It will not be surprising if this happens again, with the rise of ASICs, sending BTC miners venturing away from BTC to other potentially greener pastures like LTC.

Are you saying that there are individuals out there masterminding these DDOS attacks to keep away new adopters of Litecoin?  That's an interesting conspiracy theory, I wonder if the new exchange that is coming out from Neo is truly DDOS proof.

Will be plugged on koddos network. Have huge capacity and for 200k of security hardware for DDOS protection. Add 5 years of experience to that. Then No one can claims to be be able to stop all attack of the world...Up to 150 giga attack all even best service costing you 50 k usd by month to be host will be down...But that not often you will see such attacks...

Cloudfare offer an actual protection of 65 70 giga maximum in theory... ( I wont debate here why this is BS from cloudfare to pretend they have 65-70 giga capacity but well...) Its anyway a good protection they provide for their price. Btc-e shouldnt be offline....Then the NVC story, coinotron main nvc pool down so nobody can cashout....and then btc-e down when ltc rise and nvc fall as a owner pool changed nvc payout from 520 to 120 confirm....I can understand some here wonder what's happend and make some theory...

Very nice. Haven't been able to get onto btc-e for HOURS thanks to this DDOS attack.

How can we trust you? Whitelist? This sounds fishy.

All good keep at it. I can get on the site but withdrawals are disabled so i cant get my funds out of their either. Everyone is starting to get pissed because we have no status updates so we dont know what is going on.

[crazy_rabbit]

An official notice would help. It's an exchange, I think people are expecting at least a quick official "all is well don't panic" announcement at least. Instead of course we rightfully freak out. They should keep a twitter or a blogspot page just to keep up dated when the server is down.

i 100% agree with you. even a tiny notice at the top of the page or something. 5 seconds of HTML to do that. or an announcement on the troll box.

Are people talking on the chat?

By the way bitinstant is also COMPLETELY down.

Do you think everyone's funds have been stolen? It's 12.23am and I am still at my computer, too worried to sleep! Been refreshing the page like crazy but nothing is happening lol.

I thought bitinstant was just down for the weekend.

Hammering on refresh will just keep the load on the server high and keep it down for longer. Go to sleep and it'll probably be back in the morning.

Relax everyone. The site was not hacked. As far as I know, the site hasn't gone down (for me anyway, not sure why its not letting anyone else in, besides possibly a traffic cluster)

Dev was tinkering with something, and accidentally created a huge BTC buy order. He froze trading close to immediately, and they have been trying to get that all taken care of. There were no hacks, just a software mistake.

I managed to grab a screenshot of the situation for posterity.

The word is everything has been fixed, but they are testing.
