How serious and annoying are these ongoing DDOS attacks?
How many users are being lost? How many users are being annoyed? Is what is happening to Steemit.com now typical or atypical. I'm just trying to use my wallet now and can't make a transfer. I understand there are other websites to use like busy.org, shake-a-hack-attack.org, and this-is-yet-another-website-to-remember-when-shit-happens.org. But really, people don't want to deal with all this shit. They want a website that is easy to use, reliable, and intuitive. Is Steemit.com meeting the challenge currently and what can be done about it ??

It's definitely super annoying. I've had to re-post multiple comments as a results of the unpredictable lag.
Hi @clumsysilverdad am @omar-hesham
You share me the same frustration.
a 15 years old can perform a ddos attack the main subject here why we did not see security fixing until now
all major sites have some enemy and can go under ddos attack
so how they shield them self from this?
there is many ways that can help to fix this rang from very annoying features to the user to expensive fixes but i think with all these wailes we have no problem with expensive methods like massive redundancy to the site.
yes, thanks for your comments... i really don't understand the issue, but it seems that we are not being made aware of what's being done to stop or improve the situation / peace
It's frustrating. Off then on. Fine then not fine. This must stop. This must be fixed. @ironshield
i'm with ya
It's a pretty laggy today indeed :/
Why would you say it's a hack though??
hack ... attack... cyber smack /// i don't have a clue, i just know it's been an ongoing issue
I saw someone mention something (cant remember who it was) that made me think, they ask if these attacks are being done by the Other "blah blah" sites that charge a % of rewards to drive users over there. Interesting theory. Huh?
no shortage of conspiracies, that is for sure (-:
Cloud DDos protection would put an end to this, if thats in fact whats happening. Server could just be getting bottled neck with this influx of requests.
that's what I also believe @woodywood143
Some sites would definetly love to see steemit shoved. Some very really big sites. . It's not hard to conclude that and the reason is obvious.
I seem to be opening new tabs ever 10 minutes. Its like the longer i use it, the slower it gets.
yes i hear you, seriously annoying and frustrating !!
It's annoying and should be easily fixed.
I'm on the side that considers this to be an competitor site causing the trouble... but who knows?
I expected the STEEM value to go down due to this, but it is still above a dollar, so that seems inconsistent with the troubles seen here.
