Agora/Tor Weirdness

Just an observation, wondering if this is happening to anyone else. Today, I've noticed that while browsing Agora it'll suddenly error out. Try to reload, nothing. Then I change identities and it pops up. First time I chalked it to coincidental timing but this has happend 4 or 5 times today. Agora errors out, get new identity on TOR, then it loads fine.

ANybody else experiencing this? Never had this issue before.

EDIT: Another small change in behavior I noticed. I had closed all the Agora tabs I had, but the browser was still opened. Then I went back to Agora with the same browser and instead of just taking me to the home page, it required me to log in. Agora login token never used to time out before. I could have it opened for hours or overnight and go back and not be required to log in. It was only the span of about 5 minutes. Logged in and it was fine for a few pages, then bam. Error. Had to do a new identity. Now the login thing could be a fluke, who knows. Just something that I noticed happened.

Could it be a deanonymizing attempt from LE? Not trying to spread fear, but this is a very real thing that happens and we shouldn't just shrug it off.

Paranoia, paranoia everybody's coming to get me, just say you never met me.
The agony and the irony: they're killing me.

Didn't start for me until just now, I woke up with Agora still up on my computer after sleeping when I unlocked it, clicked around a few times, and then same as you, boom, error connecting. Reloaded Tor, logged back in just fine.

Yes. Was experiencing this over the past couple hours. I thought it was just due to heavy traffic or something.

I noticed this several times. Agora gets offline to me and return online if i close and restart Tor.

At first i thought it was some kind of advanced DoS protection they developed 'cause some of occasions it happened i had a big amount of Agora tabs open. But it is just a very improbable speculation.

Whatever it is , it is weird 'cause it only happens to Agora.

This might be in connection with https://pay.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/3frd39/agora_is_apparently_down_at_the_moment_just_fyi/

Some guys said it was down, but it's been up for as long as I can remember. The last time I remember it being down was during the DDOS attacks. It's been up all day.

Obviously there is something in the works here.

Been having the same problem today.

Also, stupidly thinking it was just your typical get "New Identity," and Voila: Agora! . . . I went ahead and tried to make a deposit.

It's been 5.5 hrs now and my deposit is still showing unconfirmed in the blockchain.

A deposit made two minutes earlier to another wallet has 21 confirmations and counting. . . . .

This happened to me on AlphaBay yesterday. I was getting a weird "Flood Limit, wait 10 seconds, strike 0" page. Thes if i refreshed that, even after 5 mitues it would increase the strike number by one. I got a new identity and bam was able to log in no problem. Kind of strange.

I was on and off a few times today never had any problems. Coin hit after about 30 min. My coin transfer was about 4 hours ago.

This happened to me on Ag today, too.Stopped loading. I reset identities, and it worked fine. I didn't do it more than once, and now for sure I won't be doing it repeatedly. Like someone said, you could catch an LE node... or give them enough timing and browsing data across many nodes to give them a lead.

Remember guys to not keep all of your eggs in one basket!

Didn't some researchers claim they could deanonymize any server on the Tor network? They were going to announce it during some conference (forgot which one). This is happening folks.


[1 Points] None:

I'm noticing this on other markets as well...

At this point I'm pretty sure they have been raided and operated by LE now. Admins and support are SUPER WEIRD. Definitely not the same people. Mark my words.
