The "attacker" is so bad at consistently preventing consensus generation that I find it extremely hard to believe it is an attack at all, thus it isn't related to this market bust. An attacker would (1) send much more traffic to dirauths or find an easier/better way to disrupt the dirauths' voting, and (2) ignore the fallback dirs. (Author of the matt.traudt.xyz post)
