I have taught of this seriously and I began to have a biased concern to bitcointalk if any signatures campaigns in bitcointalk can affects the existence of bitcointalk if they commit a crime that leads to government investigations. Secondly do we believe that bitcointalk can be obstructed by government if their is a noticeable crime by the management? From my understanding it seems to me that bitcoin existence is different from the bitcointalk forum and without the existence of bitcointalk forum bitcoin will continue existing, what's your take on this.
This idea came to me through what happened to the site of bitcointalk few days ago which I couldn't logins my account for sometimes, I wasn't happy when the incident occur. Please I asked this few questions because I want to know what I don't know, and if my question is not ideal please don't crucify me.
You are not the only who experienced that issues and it went offline for:
[..snip..]
That means it was down for everyone for 3 hours and 8 minutes.
And according to Theymos:
My best guess at this point is that it was a random failure of some networking hardware. It doesn't look like any failure I've seen before, so it's difficult to diagnose. It doesn't particularly look like a DDoS or other attack, though I can't rule it out.
There won't be any downtime if/when I change anything regarding images.
So it has nothing to do with signature campaigns in this community.
I'm not really sure about your questions about government investigation, but let me cite our dear administrator again:
This is not very surprising/interesting, but I thought I'd mention that I received a subpoena for information related to Ross Ulbricht's alleged forum account
altoid. I mostly just compiled some publicly-available information. The only non-public data I had to include were some deleted posts in the
heroin store topic that were not written by DPR and probably won't be useful in the case.
You might be surprised to learn that this is the first subpoena I've received for the forum.
