✴️ WHAT HAPPENS WHEN STEEMIANS FINDS OUT STEEMIT.COM IS DOWN? (FUNNY) πŸ€£πŸ˜…steemCreated with Sketch.

As many of you may have already found out... Steemit.com is currently facing a Huge DDOS Attack and the site has been on and off every few minutes for over 12+ hours. πŸ‘¨πŸΌβ€πŸ’»

I heard from other Steemians that they are currently working hard on it to get it fixed and will be back online very shortly. I wouldn't worry to much...  so in light of things, why not have fun with it. 😜

Were you guys up all night refreshing the website every 5 minutes just like me to see if it was back online? I think I'm addicted to Steemit! πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ˜…

Not sure if this blog would even posts but I'm giving it a shot, wish me luck! Have no fear fellow Steemians, the site will overcome this little attack and will be back online later today!Β 

Enjoy Your Weekend Guys! πŸ’ž

Lol yeah steemit.com being down has been pretty frustrating! Just as you think everything is up and going,it crashes.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

So far so good, no problems in 30 minutes πŸ˜¬πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

Lets hope it stays that way now.

Yay... and am way enjoying it.

I was thinking at first my network provider had issues connecting.... anyways, am glad to know we have alternatives to reaching steemit anytime, anyday.
It also made me realize I am already addicted to Steemit

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I was actually hoping that it was a glitch somewhere then when it comes back on there would be 100,000 steem in my wallet.

Well it did come back on but no 100,000 steem in my wallet... o well just keep on steeming

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

If that happened, we be all happy STEEMIANS 🀣

Thank God man, I thought it is only lagging on my computer :P

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Use Busy or eSteem on mobile.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I just seen @jerrybanfield post about it lol ... Seems to be working fine now :)

That is what happened to me today making many refresh to see it back online

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Yeah, mine still keeps getting offline every 5 minutes lol

lol! I think everyone was doing this yesterday :) i know I was.. I wonder if half the problem wasn't the ddos attack but the unintentional traffic of thousands of users all hitting refresh every 5 minutes! lol

i wondered what happened this morning before going to work. ty for info

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

So far so good, its back up :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

That is an easy question @stackin. I just jumped over to busy.org. The blockchain won't be stopped!!!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

I'm thinking more decentralizing is in order.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

That’s makes tons of sense to me πŸ˜€

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

This got me really rolling on the floor. We look at a better tomorrow.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

I hope it doesn't trip off, it got so many persons panicking today.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

It was only then that I realized how much time I spend on steemit. Ouch!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

So much good content here, how can we not haha

Haha i was just using esteem with limited success, but its nice seeing everyone getting better access and more and more posts showing up in my streem.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Yeah I figured that out but after is was back up lol

It didn't affect me at all. I have slept while all of it happen. Just woke up to all the panic tweets of People preparing their suicide and planning ending their life LOLOL

Glad it is all back to normal.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

yep i didnt realise how strong a hold it had on me until it wasnt there lol :)

as soon as I realized that I couldn't get in - I went to Twitter to get a status report on what was going on - first time I ever used Twitter to get live "on- the- fly" information about something - but after a few false reports of it being back online- I just started writing posts offline figuring I would upload them when the site was back up - I never had any concern that it was not coming back - I knew it was just a matter of time before it was back up and running -

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Yes! Twitter is a good place to find out news about steemit, use it daily πŸ˜€

It was heartbreaking I had to go outside!!! lol

that was a stressful time indeed @stackin. a google search turned up that this has only happened once or twice before.

Haha Guilty. I must have refreshed 100s of times today :) haha

it's funny cause i noticed it was down & went straight to sleep for 12 hours haha

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Shesh! I should of did the same lol

yeah was wondering why i couldn't get on earlier

I slept well, thanks, knowing that guys like you were up refreshing and watching it all happen ;) Steem on and welcome back!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

yes yesterday was a frustrated day and after trying several times I realize that the issue was from Steemit side. Than I had some quality time with my friends..
Yesterday I realized that I am so addicted to Steemit
Cheers!

I got so much work done at work, hahaha

I just released a post detailing why this happened. It's quite a story and you should check it out, if you like awesome things and laughing? Stay fly @stackin

damn, yesterday was a nightmare lol

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

You are right @stackin, due to DDOS Attack on steemit.com faces problems and check it every minute to refreshing it, my many comments cannot uploaded or late upload, but I hope that problem will be solved. Thnks,, now it's working welll..

It was so frustrating. Earlier, I thought it was my internet issue that's not letting me in. Later, I found people talking about it. Pleased to know that it's running again smoothly.

Thanks @stakin.

Steem On!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

LOL

Yes it was nerve rackin' thanks for the humor @stackin!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I try lol

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Yes buddy we are on the same boat in this regard. esteem app was working fine so tried to make some posts on it.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

We do not want to lose our fatigue here, we work and help each other to advance and progress as one family We do not like to break the fatigue of all people Thank you for publication my friend You are wonderful

Haha that's so true. I hit post and then it just spun around and got an error. Thankfully the draft stayed on my phone. I guess getting DDoSed means we've made it big time in the world wide webs to be seen as a target.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Getting on people radars, a good thing πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

You read my mind. I thought something was wrong because everything else worked, just not Steemit. Needed my 9 year old to tell me: 'No worries mom, it'll be back..' lol

I took a well-needed breather from the site :)

~ Kevin

@stackin yeah mean , every 5 minutes refreshing , the right word ! see you

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

So glad Steemit is back up. Didn't realize how addicted to it I am.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I went back to FB and it was no comparison to steemit haha

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

This is incredible news, it means steemit is finally at target worth attacking!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I totally agree with ya... it was probably youtube haha

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

Lol first I thought it was my wifi that was bad, so i turned it off and on about three times until i checked twitter to find out that the site was actually down.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

HaHa. You think you have a Steemit Addiction? Congratulations. The first step is admitting you have a problem. When my girfriend tells me that I am addicted to Steemit, I tell her shes crazy

Yah stackin. Keep stackin. I like the name stackin.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Haha it definitely came as a surprise. It was really cool to see how you can still access the blockchain perfectly fine from any other tool, like chainBB, Busy.org, Steemfollower, etc. That's the beauty of a decentralized blockchain! So while shady folk can try to DDOS Steemit.com they can't take down the STEEM blockchain =D

Cheers that it's working again tho, lol.

indeed my friend my friends was very wary about there accounts so i told them you can use busy.org instead until they come back up.
:-)

I think we are all addicts! HAHAHA!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Seriously its really very slow and also not much user friendly. I think because its getting more traffic. Can someone tell me how to vote?

Yes, I noticed that attack. I just went to sleep, but wrote my blog in an email than emailed it to myself. Then put up it on when site was up again.

haha this looks like a movie scene clip!!

I thought I was the only one! Bless your skinny l'il heart!

I think a lot of people were for sure. I took it as a much needed chance to get away from my computer screen lol
