Today for some reason everything is down. Kind of like what happened last week with the entire internet being down with the DNS attacks. Today I think it has to do with the ZCASH launch. Bitcointalk was down earlier today also.
Yep, seems like a DNS issue - probelms on bitcoin talk, yobit, SD and others - there is obviously some effort buy criminals to buy or dump some coins without anybody else being able to report it or access the exchanges.
I have no idea why they are doing it. I don't think they benefit anyway by hacking Bitcointalk. And there is also alot of liquidity right now to sell Bitcoin. However it looks like it might go back to yearly highs.
There must be some logic behind the attacks - Maybe they are trying to stop people from creating more liquidity before they pump - or planning to dump whilst people can't access all exchanges - or working with arbitrage on sites which are DNS blocked. Either way, the I've noticed that the number of people posting on here has dropped a bit since the attacks.
Yes especially the Gamblin topics are much less active. Most likely people try accessing the website and its very slow to load and they just give up and move on to some other forum. However I don't see how anyone would benefit from doing this.
hard to see any logic or anyone benefiting from this

Our gift to you is 10 mBTC which has been credited to your account.
We will also credit your account with a 100% bonus on your first deposit up to 100 mBTC.
Do you know what the current rollover is to get that amount available to withdraw? If the rollover isn't that high then its an amazing deal and might as well make the first deposit up to 100mBTC.
can not find anything about it on the web page. A response from Randian Hero or Bitcoin Cat is needed

Up for me too. But invest option has been removed (on mobile anyway). Looks like investors won't be able to pull their money out.
Site is up and investors can withdraw just fine. However there's a bug making some tabs (including the invest tab) are not showing on some mobile devices. Anyone wanting to withdraw can do that on the desktop version.
I wish it was stable enough to keep investing, but this issue has been ongoing for several months now. Your responses have gotten much better, thank you, but we need more insight into the changes you're making, why, and what you're doing to counteract DDoS attacks, etc. Using SatoshiDice is not the same as using Yahoo or Zynga, we're trusting you with our money. I was up to 10 BTC in your bankroll and had just enough trust after almost a full year to begin scaling my investment with you when these issues started occurring. Now I'm down to 1.5 BTC...
We have re-enabed hardware DDoS protection and also moving to a DDoS resistant core system. Investor funds remain safe under DDoS.
When are you moving to the DDoS resistant core system?
