Nah this is totally a shoop. CONSPIRACY!!!

I have an idea! Why doesn't Gox publish the destination IPs on twitter, so we can all point LOIC at it? (disclaimer I'm a complete DDoS newb and i'm sure there's some reason that 'firing back' doesn't work.)

(Forum etiquette - quote pruning pro-tip - prune large images in quoted replies by throwing in a height= width= into the [img] tag, make people's scroll fingers happy )

Because its a Ddos and thus is distributed so there is not one single IP to point it to?

On the one hand they claim this is a layer7 attack then they show this prolexic report, which is about layer 3-4. If they have an attack vector for an application layer attack why spend the resources for a expensive network layer attack?
It still smells fishy to me.

If nothing else they are shutting down their service when under attack to prevent "lag"

Well, I doubt they are claiming today is April 11th.

Oh, in that case, pretty solid arguing folks!

Which is the only responsible thing to do. A ddos attacked market racking up lag isn't a normal market. Thus the only responsible way to fight back is to turn off the market for the time being till the attack passes. At which point allow people to trade normally once again.

If this really is a layer7 attack it might be able to be sustained indefinitely. And what then?

You're right, thanks for the tip.

Lol, you people need to stop trolling with Gox going down "indefinitely." This has happened like 20 times before, and its already back up. This is like, completely and utterly boring and normal.

That's why it's called back to normal in the bubble autonomy chart.

So 116.52 USD / BTC -> "Back to normal?" So what are we in, some sort of a reverse mojo bubble?

In the meantime bitcoinity looks cool even if not very helpful, kindly pointing to an ancient bid price
