So is Mt. Gox getting DDos'd?

[Hook^]

Their site hasn't responded for a couple of hours now.  There is no way that even 60,000 clients logging in at once could take down a web site for hours on end.  I bet the hackers are DDosing Mt. Gox.

So if they keep doing that, how will we ever get back in?

25% chance of ddos. 75% chance of incompetence.

20% chance the claim server ran on a first gen ipad.

Yes and we are the ones DDOSing it . Also it wouldn't surprise me if they are running the claim server on the first generation xBox  .

Ok, only usernames that start with A-E try for the next few hours, after that F-J.

FFFFfffFuuUUU, why not start from Z

I don't think insufficent hardware explains the server slowness.  There are only 60,000 accounts.  A P2 should be able to handle that.  They are almost certainly getting DDosed.

The hacker is retaliating for getting his heist shut down before withdrawing it maybe.

probably sleeping.

I think they just need to unplug their router and then plug it back in.

Some communication would be nice, but I'm still rooting for mtgox.  I have little choice until they are back up.

there were rumors the competition is behind it - I wonder if there is anything to it. Would probably not be so hard.
