Title: A tip for dealing with SR outages.
Post by: VincentStroke on May 02, 2013, 09:35 pm
STOP... HITTING... REFRESH...

Just check it every few hours. Sitting there hitting refresh every 20 seconds as it fails can only make the problem worse. I've actually had clients DoS their own sites by telling all their friends and family to go check and see if their site is up.

Consider this, if there's congestion on the highway, does going faster and being aggressive do anything to help the problem? No, just chill and stay in your god damn lane, stop changing lanes constantly trying to move an extra 3 meters.

I recognize that metaphor went a little wild but i am high as fuck right now so forgive me.

:D

Does not look good for silk road if they can not stop this... whomever is doing it will probably continue to do so as it seems they are technologically more knowledgeable or at least  have better resources than SR

The issues since the site has been fully up has more so to do with people pounding the site trying to get on, then freaking the fuck out when they can't get on and hitting refresh every 20 seconds.

ITS NOT GOOD!!

STOP HITTING THE FUCKING REFRESH BUTTON
