This is probably an attempt at deanonymization. Keep requesting that a service get a new circuit until their circuit is comprised entirely of your nodes, like the feds did to Silk Road.

Maybe that explains why all the markets have been going down and were so slow?

Smells like another EC3 attack, they just held a congress last month in the Netherlands and Belgium, same as before when Onymous hit the Darknet. The Belgian hosted (but international) anti-cybercrime conference is the ICSS2015 and I am trying to find sources for the Dutch one; which I 100% remember being held, maybe I am just wrong about the country. I concede, I cannot find the second congress/conference anywhere publicly, maybe I have heard about it somewhere within my own network, I will update if I will can find anything.

To refresh peoples minds: ICSS2014 was held on 19-20 September with a lot of EC3 speakers being present, and Operation Onymous was rolled out 6 weeks (and 6 days) after on 7 November. Similar attacks where happening in those last days. Interesting to note is that ICSS2015 was held 6 weeks and 7 days ago, funny coincidence? Not talking conspiracy here, but this could mean that there is some kind of action plan which takes 6-7 weeks to complete or carry out? It would make sense right.

Good find! Hopefully the wonderful people at the TOR project will have this fixed soon.

Is it safe for buyers to access the markets while this is going on?

I thought I was getting more off-market orders than usual.

I havent been on agora since devolution day. Ive been released from being Blacktracker's gofer and was looking forward to going back to work.

Then I find agora is down.

Hi,

I can confirm that Tor is running fine now. They fixed the bug or DDoS ended.
