Ask HN: Please stop submitting "Bitcoin Exchange Y is down"

[mschuster91]

Please, for the love of god, stop posting Bitcoin drama. No need to further influence the already instable markets...

[spoiler]

Not to mention it's not news to anyone who deals with bitcoins whilst it is annoying for anyone who doesn't care about them.

This.

Who cares if MtGox is down? The same people who already found out the hard way.

[minimaxir]

I strongly doubt that a single HN post would "influence the markets."

[mschuster91 → minimaxir]

The problem is that most of these links link directly to MtGox, thus involuntarily helping the DDoS attacks.
