What would their motive be to DDOS?
These are my ideas--
They want to lower the price of bitcoin so they can buy low and wait for it to go up again.
The way the feds DDOS silk road and [I assume] utopia to get a database mirror they are doing the same for these bitcoin websites to find reason to shut down these websites and end bitcoin as we know it.
They are bored kids with resources and time.
Why do you guys think they are DDOS'ing the bitcoin websites?
1) Someone that wants bitcoin to fail
2) Someone that wants to bring Bitcoins exchange price down
3) Someone that wants to highlight the vulnerabilities in Bitcoin in the hopes of having them fixed
4) Someone that wants to highlight the vulnerabilities in Bitcoin in the hopes of discrediting Bitcoin
5) Kanye West
