Be careful.  While they probably couldn't pull the network down, an attacker could attack all of our api servers pretty easily.  This would not be a good user experience.

the DEX is not stable and usable today , can't even do transfer .
You want to leave bad  first impression to people ?

Dex is working great for me as well.  Even when I use OL as the endpoint.  Even if they attacked our 3 https api endpoints we could spin new ones up rather quickly.  An attack against witness nodes could cause some issues, but I think we could spin up new instances pretty quickly.

The 3 API can be protected by anti-DDOS cloudfare and more API can be easily spinned up indeed.  Perhaps now is a good time to sell our bts DEX to poloniex.  @Akado, what is your take on this?

I think that although it could be a good long term move in terms of security, they would not do it.

This because it would imply changing their service. Users would need to wait 3 seconds to get their orders filled right? Loyal customers could care, bit not the majority.

They are moving great volumes, making a lot of monet, this could potentially risk all of that.

If something is going fine, you dont change it, houdont fix whats not broken. They were ddosed right but i think they wont see it as a strong enough reason.

They want profit, they are making a lot of it and they couod risk loosing it.

They could still move a market at a time, try starting with lower volume coins... Dont know if they would want to invest their time doing it. Honestly i thhink they wont but we can always try to reach out.

The "no" is always guaranteed if you dont ask so
