Re: SatoshiDICE and SatoshiCircle under sustained DDoS... who could it be?
We're spending more than $20,000 a month on protected hosting, and even THAT provides insufficient at times.
All of our gaming sites have been under intermittent moderate to severe DDOS attacks for about three weeks now,
the casino site went offline for about 48 hours during the worst attack. Even our mining equipment website which is not related to gambling in any way has been attacked several times. There are constant floods, and database hacking attempts, ...

$20,000 in hosting alone seems a bit excessive for such site, but there isn't much I can say about that alone.
Now, what I find weird is: 1) "mining equipment". Why would you use mining equipment for taking bets ?. 2) "database hacking attempts". Why are you even exposing your database ? Or are you claiming this is an internal issue with your hosting company ?
Why am I asking this ? Because it is irrelevant whether you pay $20k, $200k, or any amount of k dollars if in the end you do such things. High price also doesn't equate in good quality of service.
And this is all offtopic obviously
