DDOS attack? Nah, it's a disk failure. You can get more info from the official twitter. (I can't post a link because i haven't been on the forum long enough)
On other notes, the Darkcoin Show video on youtube has brought me to Darkcoin. I was always reading the Darkcoin thread on Bitcointalk but the video really made me think about how good darkcoin really was, so now I'm here.
Also, Bitcointalk's disk failure also caused me to register here. Now I feel I need to stay.
So you guys have another member! But I don't have any DRK yet. I better download the wallet onto my laptop.
