23 minutes ago, this exact same message was posted on the bitcoin-central website, still mentioning the 5th of april, so either they really plan to launch now at 23:59, or just didn't bother to change the message and quickly posted it on the site just now

BTC-e does confirm the DDoS issue, however its been fine for hours now indeed, hoping to be able to use my funds soon :-/

You will not have any major problems with a slow (but stable) connection. Aslong as its an open connection that is. (not censored).

Tell us what hardware you are planning to run.

I am not going to needlessly spam the newbies section with posts to get whitelisted. (Yes, I would consider it spam to post random things in a newbies section just to get access to other parts of the forums).

I have been around for a couple of months. I am not a big player in bitcoin, but I am sure some of the moderaters/admins will have talked with me before and surely cannot consider me a newbie.

Thus I request to be whitelisted.

EDIT: Ah noticed a thread I could post in without considering it just useless spam
