Internet is generally slow, whats going on?

3 pointsby gressquelover 7 years ago
I get cloudflare error on HN sometimes. Reddit gives errors and then. All crypto exchanges are loading very slowly (and values are crashing suddenly).<p>Twitter is full of complains of slow internet. Is there an attack ongoing?

I think there was a frenzy around &quot;Who&#x27;s hiring?&quot; this month on HN. (For instance, some people seemed to be running downvoting and&#x2F;or upvoting bots aimed at job postings w&#x2F;o salary ranges.) HN took measures to protect itself from overload and you might have noticed that.<p>Crypto has its own problems. The Bitcoin network is overloaded; probably at one point the issue was people motivated by greed buying huge amounts of Bitcons, pretty soon people will be like &quot;Dude where&#x27;s my money&quot; and will create even higher loads pulling their money out.
