Kim Dotcom gave them 3000 Mega accounts yesterday, and now they seem to have created 3000 relays. Is the number just a coincidence, or are they doing it through those accounts somehow?

- Shank 12y agoThey probably sold the vouchers and bought servers with them. Most of the relay IPs are coming from the Google cloud.
- timdorr 12y agoThose are simply file hosting accounts, so there's ability to run something like a Tor node from them. More likely is they're using the same botnet that was attacking PSN/XBL to run Tor relays.

- michaelbuckbee 12y agoAs grateful as I was to be able to actually play the games I received on Christmas, it is hard to find anything positive longer term with respect to paying off DDOS attacks (though I'm assuming that this more or less happens constantly away from public view).
- tedivm 12y agoThere are currently 3346 relays, not 3000. The number is just a coincidence.
