RE: STEEM Ranked #5 Best Crypto by Weiss Ratings - Top Crypto Rated by Weiss Ratings
Regarding the site being down, I found this that might interest you:
"Weiss Ratings staff was up all night last night fending off denial of service attacks from Korea, as evidenced by numerous mentions on Korean social media of a concerted call to bring down the Weiss Ratings website. “Earlier commentary on social media expressed considerable fear we were about to release negative ratings on their preferred currencies,” said Weiss Ratings founder Martin D. Weiss, Ph.D. “So this may be an attempt to thwart our release today.”"

Wow, this is sketchy! I wonder why they didn't want this to be published..
too many perhaps invested in Crypto currencies that are about to plummet would be my guess.
Ah, that makes sense. I would not be happy if I was holding lots of the coins who got very bad scores. Luckily most of my investments got a really good grade, so this report is only good news for me ;)
Interest in crypto-currency is really high in Korea. I suspect the Koreans got wind of this report and simply wanted a copy!
The S Koreand are sick and tired of their government FUD, they are also passionate about the crypto space and likely a bit on edge at this time.
In a way it is good to see that, because it shows that if their government does anything stupid in curtailing crypto action the people will take a strong stand.
