@Bitfool - You are indeed a fool. The DDOS wasn't typical by overloading the server, it flooded the nodes which point to SilkRoad servers which is why we could not access it as opposed to slowing the server down. This is nothing new at all and bears no relevance to the attack laid out and Miah was right. I'm no technical expert, but I've been around here long enough to distinguish between the expert and somebody who is personally misunderstanding the discussion at hand completely.
