And any idea why daily prices on satoshidice are no more working from Oct 18?
https://www.satoshidice.com/leader-boards/That looks like they are running out of money, any ideas if satoshidice is a safe place for high stakes?
Not sure but maybe they lost a lot during the recent DDoS attack.
SatoshiDice is hosted with an expensive Swiss ISP.
Fending off even just 1 Gbit/s costs 400 USD / month ... O.o
Many DDoS attacks are magnitudes larger than that. The record is at over 1 Tbit/s.
