Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

It's confirmed now Good to hear - I think there is a lot of stress on the blockchain at the minute which is slowing down the transactions as lots of people are transferring their alts into BTC as the price is rising. |

It works for me.
EDIT: it only works if you are already logged in. APIs work. Likely DDoS again.

Yeah, I'm getting the bad gateway error from NGINX - has all the hallmarks of a DDoS attack. Cryptoland feels like the wild west right now... |

The API is still fully functional. It seems only the front-end server is down.
SatoshiDice, any comments? ETA?

Today for some reason everything is down. Kind of like what happened last week with the entire internet being down with the DNS attacks. Today I think it has to do with the ZCASH launch. Bitcointalk was down earlier today also.

Yep, seems like a DNS issue - probelms on bitcoin talk, yobit, SD and others - there is obviously some effort buy criminals to buy or dump some coins without anybody else being able to report it or access the exchanges. |

I have no idea why they are doing it. I don't think they benefit anyway by hacking Bitcointalk. And there is also alot of liquidity right now to sell Bitcoin. However it looks like it might go back to yearly highs. |

However it looks like it might go back to yearly highs. There must be some logic behind the attacks - Maybe they are trying to stop people from creating more liquidity before they pump - or planning to dump whilst people can't access all exchanges - or working with arbitrage on sites which are DNS blocked. Either way, the I've noticed that the number of people posting on here has dropped a bit since the attacks. |

Most likely people try accessing the website and its very slow to load and they just give up and move on to some other forum. However I don't see how anyone would benefit from doing this. |

I think that it was/is some sort of upstream networking failure. I'm still seeing an above-normal level of packet loss, but it seems usable now at least. I'll keep an eye on it.

Lets hope the connectivity issues are solved now, things on bitcointalk seem much better today. [Fingers Crossed] =) |
