Coinbase is discovering that if you try to destroy Bitcoin, Bitcoin destroys you.

Antisocial degenerate reveling in destructive hackery? Color me shocked. Too bad the attack is ineffectual. No problems logging in here.
Someone gullible enough to run Bitcoin Unlimited thinks ddos is hacking? Color me shocked.
No, not someone running BU, someone open minded enough to look into it.
If you don't want to include DDoS in your definition of hacking, fine. Either way, it is nefarious and destructive in nature. It reflects a callous disregard for the work of others. And, it is one of the few courses of action available to a desperate loser.

Ineffectual? Every minute of downtime costs Coinbase's reputation, plus money in the forms of lost business and attack mitigation.
Yes, ineffectual. Perhaps you missed the part where I was able to log in with no issue. Rather the actual _definition_ of an ineffectual attempt at DDoS, that.

Just wait until the real hackers/whistleblowers get inside Coinbase and disclose the true extent of their jackboot-kissing, user-tracking, PanoptiCoin shitlording....
Such may or may not come to pass. Yet until it does, your statement reflects merely your idle speculation.
Frankly, I don't see the problem. Don't like Coinbase? Don't deal with them. 'Problem' solved. If you are counting on physical destruction to win intellectual arguments, you are ceding that you are already the underdog.
Since the attack reportedly took the (main) Coinbase.com page down, it was not "ineffectual."
I didn't miss the part where users could still log in to their subdomain, but thanks for entertaining us by grasping for that straw.
I did miss the part where the reasons for calling ddos "hacking" and "physical destruction" are elucidated.
Please, don't keep us waiting for the logical and semantic gymnastics!
I don't deal with Coinbase. I don't count on ddos or other forums of "physical destruction"
