Hi, We've put mtgox back online, this time through a level7 firewall (application level firewall, basically it filters bad requests and ddos at application level, which means mtgox should stay online more easily). Anyway now is the time for some russian guys to attack again, so we can see if it works  If my dear russian friend who asked me $5000 via LR by email (then $7000, then more, but oh well) read me, let me say this to you: If we can live through this, it means we'll have enough anti-ddos protections (for now). |

Why is this happening ?
Simply for profit or for another reason?

well, it sure is, but as long as MT doesnt pay what nice guy asks for, there won't be any profit, and i doubt he ever will pay. |

http won't load but https pulls up just fine.
It's probably because ddos is still ongoing and they are flooding port 80. |

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.
