Noticed another strange thing ....... If someone wants to check .... It's from right now.

Yeah, it's a DDoS... it has been going on for awhile - not sure how long . Likely existed previously, but may have been introduced or amplified/made worse after mucking around w/ the block submissions and drift time.

How are they performing it exactly? It would be easier to see if I had a node setup, but don't. But, there are probably several known methods that could be used. Notice the connections completely drop to 0 at the same time as the difficulty levels.. The honest nodes on the network are being isolated/cut-off.. Notice all the complaints of people saying their Electrum wallets won't sync? Maybe not because anyone complaining of it on a forum or wherever has their post removed, or is given an intentionally wrong answer as to why their wallets won't sync-up. Don't even get me started on the QT Wallet.

Either way, it's not good and I'm not sure what (realistically) should or can be done at this point. One thing is for certain, I don't see any urgency whatsoever from the Dev team to address this.

yes i noticed my wallet takes ages to sync nowadays 30mins-1hr to get a connection that doesnt hold for long
have asked discord wallet help but have not got a decent reply other than change servers (which i have already tried before asking), read wallet faq (which should have been read before starting wallet anyways) or wait (the only answer that seems to work) seems many are having same issue as per discord chat seems to have no answer why its happenening, only other time i seem to have had this issue was after the first attack while they were fixing issue, so im assuming they are working on something currently (just a guess)
