What we need to do... is make absolutely CERTAIN that every newbie KNOWS that they cannot use sites like BTC-asswipe.com because he is a criminal who cannot be trusted.

For example, in my upcoming "Bitcoin for Dummies"-type site I am working on, I will definitely include a section of the Master Directory called, "Known Scams & Fraud Sites to Avoid" ...and be sure to list his sites there... so the entire Bitcoin Community knows to stay away from ever doing business with him.

It's VERY important to spread the word about scammers like him.... who give all of Bitcoin a bad name...

And, in fact, give all RUSSIANS a bad name.

Once again I say, if I were Russian, I would be be so ashamed and embarrassed to admit that this evil asswipe with the intelligence of a pea is a fellow countryman of mine.

Do not be an asshole, I have nothing to do with it. Bitcoin in Russia just a very well known so there problems came from it: http://www.google.com/trends?q=bitcoin

Most likely you bought recently bitcoins and now are experiencing. This is understandable but I'm not here to blame and even Russian indirectly. ddos are from Vietnam mtgox wrote

What in gods name are you talking about? BTC dropped slightly to 3.5 when mtgox went down, the current price is 3.57, so if you have btc you made a little money.... not to mention everyone who couldn't buy today will buy tomorrow. BTC holders will make a killing when the US wakes up tomorrow
