Poloniex has been crashing a lot in the last bit due to DDOS attack.
Yah, I can't log in either. Could they be blocking my ip range? @Toknormal, thank you for your excellent analysis yesterday! This next week will be especially interesting to watch!
Ditto!!! |

http://themerkle.com/altcoin-exchange-poloniex-affected-by-ddos-attack/Until last night, it had been a while until DDoS attacks affected any of the popular bitcoin and altcoin exchanges.
The latest reports now indicate that a couple of hours ago, popular bitcoin exchange Poloniex was the target of a strong DDoS attack, which not only took the site offline, but it also affected the API, and therefore forced the exchange to stop carrying out transactions.
The announcement was made via a Twitter post, which read: ‘It appears we’re under a DDOS attack. We’re investigating and working on getting the site back online as quickly as we can’. Luckily, the security team behind the company managed to quickly mitigate the attack, and restore service.
However, it is believed that the attack was in fact a stress test, meant to differently target the attack next time, or even force the exchange to make a security mistake. This strategy has been put to use before, so Poloniex will have to be particularly careful in the near future.
i would be carefull with trading on Poloniex, it has a big bullseye on it currently and it seems like hackers are testing its defences....

Ditto!!! Not likely that you are blocked. Seems to be working now, but it's been up and down for the last several hours. |

Well I finished converting my remaining BTC on Polo to DASH and successfully withdrew. I don't think the guys running Polo are scammers or anything, but the DDOS has me spooked.

Definitely not confidence inspiring. I'm going to take the risk, but I don't blame you, this DDoS could be the precursor for an attack. |

They should use something more p2p-like for their hosting, ZeroNet for example. Of course it is not matured enough yet, but it is potentially more resilient to DDOS threat.

Spread Bitcoin Even If It Fails (Dash mentioned)http://cointelegraph.com/news/spread-bitcoin-even-if-it-fails"Additionally, Bitcoin’s lack of privacy could lead it to become vulnerable to being banned by governments, pushing it completely underground where it will be out-competed by more secure cryptocurrencies such as Dash."

When Bitcoin hits 1000000 maybe. Well, iCEBREAKER may actually be right (in his own trollish way). There's not going to be any fundamental reasons for growth this year. And all the traders and manipulators money are sucked into another coin which is now #2 in marketcap. So we can see a long period of "cheap masternodes" getting cheaper.
why such a perma-bear? still accumulating? btw, the price was ~0.0092xx when you and icebreaker made that prediction. less than a week later the price exploded past 0.011xx. anything can happen. |
