Ordinals website is under a DDoS attack

You're the one venting your frustration, you're the one cheering for shutting down a service
Again, before raging like a bull and see attacks, threats, blackmail and whatever other you imagine you might want to review what you posted first!
Triggered much? This is karma! But it's not that funny when you're the targeted one, isn't it?

Where? Prove it! Are you sure what you wrote was about me? What kind of raging I have committed? Are you sure you are pointing fingers on the right person?

You are threatening me directly, I haven't posted anything about you or about Ordinals. Are you in your senses? Is this that you do naturally do to vent out your arrogance with your frustrations with anyone?

maybe for some people this makes them happy considering that ordinals irritate many bitcoin users because they cause high fees. but i also agree with you that organizing a DDoS is illegal and it won't change anything that the fact is that the ordinal remains on the bitcoin network.

and maybe this DDoS attack will make them even more enthusiastic in developing their community, you know that sometimes the more someone is pressured the more they will show their existence, and maybe the ordinal community will show their existence more on the bitcoin network.

We all despise the ordinals system, particularly the perversion it causes bitcoin holders. And that is a truly unfortunate situation. Ordinals should do with their users what they do with their customers: inform them about their websites. Inform them that they are aware of the impending attack; it is not acceptable that there is no notification at all.

When such an attack happens, we should first avoid using the website because the more we use it, the worse the problem would become. And perhaps the wisest course of action is to wait till this is settled.

DDos attack is illegal, for sure!  But for the first time Ordinals are getting a taste of their own medicine.

I disagree, Ordinals owner or enthusiast would just visit different ordinals website.

What they could gain from DDoS attack? if they didn't hack the smart contract they won't able to access the tokens and make money from it.

I think everyone started their assumption from their hate against ordinals!
What makes everyone so sure it's an attack because somebody doesn't like ordinals and not an attack by a group  who is in competition with that website?
So not an ordinals hater but more like a ordinals minter that wants a bigger pie of the ordinals minting share and inscription traffic?

While ordinals.com is first ordinals website created by Casey Rodarmor, it's not really competitive with other website since it lack many features. You can't even manage Ordinals or BRC-20 from ordinals.com. So IMO such reason is unlikely.

I don't see any other reason of DDossing Ordinals website.

Whoever has done it for sure there's a reason behind it. Most likely if it's not about money, as I've said a protest, or like etf said that they want to convey a message to them. Something like that but what usually do these attackers get from doing so? money I guess.

For the personal computers and devices, I think its a shame that most people have no clue about cyber security or how to protect themselves or their data. I'm sure a lot of folks here are praising this effort to take down ordinals though due to the high fees lmao

It's no shame if people don't usually have an idea about cybersecurity. It's like having your own smartphone but don't have an idea on how to protect yourselves from malicious downloadable apps. It's going to take time until the majority of computer users have a basic idea of cybersecurity or at least protecting themselves by avoiding simple unknown websites and apps.

Many people like the fact that ordinals website is under a DDoS attack while some people consider DDoSing totally illegal and out of question. I would say that Ordinals website was attacked by those unknown hackers because they got some kind of rage when most of their transactions were stuck due to the network congestion that the ordinals caused.

Of course the Bitcoin is for everyone and the hackers are also humans so they might use Bitcoin as well for their transactions, but the point is that the ordinals have caused huge problems for many people and that's why they finally launched a DDoS attack on their site.

A DDoS attack is just an action taken when someone is truly annoyed by something but that won't be enough to eradicate the ordinals as they problem is part of a blockchain now and it won't makes much sense to attack the sites in order to stop the growth of ordinals.

Only Bitcoin developers will be able to find a true solution to stop the ordinals but it seems that they aren't able to find a way to eradicate those ordinals from the blockchain even after trying for many times. Let's see how long the ordinals will exist on the blockchain and how long people will continue talking about those ordinals.

Finally some good news, they should be DDOSed to oblivion, I don't care about the legality of DDOSing etc, if it's bad for the things you mentioned, yes we should call it that, but when it's used to cut the access of leeches to Bitcoin, it's a good thing. Here are some kisses for the attacker. 😘😗😘😗 Bitcoin refuses to be a submissive little bitch.

It is not cool to appreciate something wrong and praising hackers for DDOSing just because we are not happy with Ordinals.
what is wrong will still be wrong.
and btw we don't know what was the intention of the hacker for DDOSing the servers. do you think hackers would care about common people and doing that to support Bitcoiner. No. they are just doing this to harm Ordinal servers and cause lose for them and maybe ask for some ransomware money too.

[jrrsparkles]

Let me guess, some OG retaliated for what these scums are doing to the Bitcoin network? Possible.

But a DDoS attack on ordinals won't change anything and even if ORDI goes down some new will pop and clog the network so the only possible solution is to remove the option like brc20 from the Bitcoin network or else the future is in danger for Bitcoin.

what i find truly funny is this forum has been ddosed many occasions and certain people say nothing about getting cops, courts, lobbyists, regulators involved. but within a couple hours of a scam getting its explorer site being ddosed, certain people start crying that things should be done to stop effecting sites like ordinals

just goes to show who adores scams and wants to defend their existence but never cared when this forum got ddosed

i never seen OP demand getting the authorities involved when this forum gets ddosed. however i have seen him ask to add exceptions to allow bots access to this forum even during ddos risk events

and now wanting to defend scam explorer sites.. wanting them to operate without attack.. lol.. it reveals soo much

[Casdinyard]

Are you one of the attacker? /jk.

What they could gain from DDoS attack? if they didn't hack the smart contract they won't able to access the tokens and make money from it.

It's also not going to make people can't send their tokens, right?

A lot actually. They found a vulnerability in the Ordinal's home network, they can capitalize on it and conduct hacking schemes to either steal or destabilize the project from the roots cause as far as I know for you to be DDoS'ed the attackers must know what your identifiable network address is right? Or correct me if I'm just blabbering nonsense here lol. . They could also just be trolling and giving shit like this to Ordinals in the form of a warning sign but judging how much hate they have harbored in the past few months this year, I highly doubt it. DDoS attacks aren't really that dangerous per se but the consequences of being attacked like that could be massive especially for an indie project like them.

I couldn't say the hate against them is uncalled for either. They literally fucked the whole bitcoin network system by introducing NFTs lol. but at the same time a part of me knew that one way or another a project like Ordinals is going to come and they are going to fuck the system up since bitcoin's not really built for shit like that. So is it really just Ordinals' fault that they tried to pursue innovation or is the bitcoin network's complacency in issuing a viable change in the system so transactions couldn't be this congested partly to blame as well?

Oh honey, I would say ddos them 24/7 if it were up to me, there is nothing good for us in ordiballs, maybe there is a good amount of money to take from unsuspected newbies, but scam is scam. Even though I respect anyone's rights to use Bitcoin network, but there should be a price to pay if they wish to launch their garbage spams on Bitcoin.

haven't laughed out loud at a post in a while.

Maybe the attacker/organization was looking to buy some time to decongest the network?
