If this is a "meltdown" then why is the price still over $600....

Exactly.  For all the doom and gloomers, look at the price!  1 BTC is still worth a lot of money.

Unless Bitstamp suddenly halts fiat withdrawals as well I wouldn't worry.

People are really narrow minded when they look at whats going on right now. This time last year what was the price? Under 100? We are still so positive when it comes to price it isn't even funny. Those claiming about meltdowns and other FUD are just mad because they panic sold. Bears will be bears. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with bitcoin. This will blow over, mark my words.

Perhaps not as massive an attack as originally thought...

http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2014/02/bitcoin-ddos/

"It turns out that a small number of these bad transactions have been broadcast in the background of the bitcoin network for some time now, but after Mt. Gox went public with its problems, someone cranked up the volume. “Some joker is rewriting thousands of bitcoin transactions and rebroadcasting them,” says Jeff Garzik, a core developer on the bitcoin software. “It’s not a “massive and concerted” attack, probably just a bored teenager with one computer.”"

Actually blockchain is affected, the data on it is not trustable. Many missing payments, now already chaos. As for shutdown, anything can happen. In past 24 hours, I got several payments that is never be confirmed, if you think this is not serious, then why gox and bitstamp suspended business?

That is quite normal for Blockchain.info. They have been slow for a while now and these errors sometimes pop up. Nothing to worry about Wink

You're joking right? I'm on blockchain right now, my wallet has the right funds. Stop spreading FUD... They were DDos'd early which has nothing to do with stolen funds.

This is one reason why I don't store my bitcoins on exchanges or in other hosted wallets. I am completely unaffected. Hopefully this event will knock some sense into some people.

And while I'm on the subject ... sometime in the next few months, the wallet of some major site will be hacked and a bunch of people are going to lose all of there bitcoins. You heard it here first.

Wait, What?  Did something important happen?  I didn't notice.  My client says everything is fine.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'

Got this earlier this morning trying to connect to blockchain.info:


 I got this myself too when I tried to look up one of my cold wallets.  It timed out because of pages of that stupid "Enjoy", "Sochi" spam transaction was trying to load from blockchain.info website.

Other address without the spam loaded fast.

Possible global shutdown? No.
I agree with this. I am getting sick of this bullshit.
This is why we need newbie restrictions back and even set the requirements higher. This is getting out of control. Too many pointless, FUD spreading threads from OP with limited to no knowledge.

Bitcoin.de halted all payouts with reference to the same reason...

This sucker seems big.

Quote from: translated BitCoin.de Forum Announcement
Bitcoin.de is affected like some other markets by the same problem as MtGox: The Malleable Transaction. Currently, a massive DDOS attack takes place through a botnet against the entire Bitcoin network.

So far only a few of our payments were affected, but we have decided to temporarily halt the payments. Our developers are already working feverishly to solve the problem.

Bitcoins were not lost. Your deposits are safe, but we ask for your patience and apologize for the inconvenience.
