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. 👨🏼💻
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! 🤣😂😅
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!
Enjoy Your Weekend Guys! 💞
Lol yeah steemit.com being down has been pretty frustrating! Just as you think everything is up and going,it crashes.
So far so good, no problems in 30 minutes 😬🙌🏼
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
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
If that happened, we be all happy STEEMIANS 🤣
♨️ 🤖 OUT OF ORDER #steemOff .... lol
lmao real
😂😂😂😂
I was like this all day 😡😡😫😫😂😂
😜😆😂😂😂
Stacking silver in the meantime Charles?? :P
I need to get me some more Green Monster Boxes 🤑
I'll take the shiny heavy stuff any and every day off the week!
~ if i could :D:D:D
Thank God man, I thought it is only lagging on my computer :P
Use Busy or eSteem on mobile.
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
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
So far so good, its back up :)
That is an easy question @stackin. I just jumped over to busy.org. The blockchain won't be stopped!!!
Yes man..upvoted.U are right as steemit go down fear caught we Steemians but we got to get life moving within and outside steemit.. thx for share.. follow u... I Wil appreciate u on my post for your support ..thx..
Will be glad if u follow back..
I click on that place says chat me Facebook
Followed
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.
Yeah I figured that out but after is was back up lol
This got me really rolling on the floor. We look at a better tomorrow.
Seems to be working fine the last 30 minutes 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I hope it doesn't trip off, it got so many persons panicking today.
It was only then that I realized how much time I spend on steemit. Ouch!
So much good content here, how can we not haha
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.
Haha Guilty. I must have refreshed 100s of times today :) haha
yep i didnt realise how strong a hold it had on me until it wasnt there 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!
It was heartbreaking I had to go outside!!! lol
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
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!
LOL
Yes it was nerve rackin' thanks for the humor @stackin!
I try 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 -
Yes! Twitter is a good place to find out news about steemit, use it daily 😀
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!
it's funny cause i noticed it was down & went straight to sleep for 12 hours haha
Shesh! I should of did the same lol
that was a stressful time indeed @stackin. a google search turned up that this has only happened once or twice before.
damn, yesterday was a nightmare lol
That was the reaction yesterday hahah
Best Meme of the week haha
Yes buddy we are on the same boat in this regard. esteem app was working fine so tried to make some posts on it.
@stackin yeah mean , every 5 minutes refreshing , the right word ! see you
I took a well-needed breather from the site :)

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
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.
Getting on people radars, a good thing 🙌🏼
So glad Steemit is back up. Didn't realize how addicted to it I am.
I went back to FB and it was no comparison to steemit haha
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
I think is stable right now, hope the site stay and... refreshing every 5 minutes? yesssss HAHAHAHAHA
Working like a charm right now 🤑
Yah stackin. Keep stackin. I like the name stackin.
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
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.
This is incredible news, it means steemit is finally at target worth attacking!
I totally agree with ya... it was probably youtube haha
I'm thinking more decentralizing is in order.
That’s makes tons of sense to me 😀
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!
I guess my post worked! Hope it doesn't go down again in a few minutes haha.
It posted 😊, the issue was on and off.
