Everybody is trying to log in all at once. The more you keep hitting try again, the more you're part of the problem. Let's be smart about this.Window shoppers (like me): DON'T EVEN TRY TO LOGIN. AT ALL. I'm not. Don't you do it either. Give it until the site has been up reliably for a week or more.Buyers looking to place orders: DON'T EVEN TRY TO LOGIN. AT ALL. What good will it do you if you manage to get in, place an order, send your bitcoins, and then have the site go down again indefinitely. You'll just be out the bitcoins, since the vendor can't log in and check your order. Give it until the site has been up reliably for a few days or even a week.Vendors who don't have pending orders: DON'T EVEN TRY TO LOGIN. AT ALL. You're not helping the situation. Give it until the site has been up reliably for a few days so you can check for new orders, which really shouldn't be happening if the buyers are courteous and waiting for the site to come back up.Vendors who have pending orders: DON'T EVEN TRY TO LOGIN. AT ALL. You are part of the DDOS too. Wait until the announcement (which hopefully goes to the vendor area first) that the site is up, then commence your part of the renewed DDOS that will happen every time that announcement goes out. When it does, get on there, handle your current business, and get out to save on traffic.If everyone would stop DDOSing the site by trying to log in all at once, there is a better chance of it getting up and running again. If the site was nearly overloaded before, what do you think happens when it gets 5 times it's usual traffic with all these jerks leaving a window up and hitting try again every 5 minutes. I have seen the enemy, and it is us.Well said. +1 for the Pogo reference. Nightcrawler
