My site would be DDoS'd first... for blockchain.info the resource required to process is negligible imo.

Those who have examined the publicly available malware samples have stated this address as the only one used at the moment. It is certainly possible that an upgraded variant may use others though.

There's nothing wrong with this submission per se, but because there is already an active discussion about this topic on the front page, we had to mark it as a dupe.
Edit: actually, since you used a spam service to buy upvotes, we've banned both you and your site. This is obviously a capital offense on HN.
All: I hope everyone realizes that when you do this you leave obvious traces in the data.

I disagree that it is a dupe. The purpose of the post is different.

How so? If someone sits on your page and it's running that call every two seconds, there's little impact to your servers, but 30 hits a minute to blockchain.info.
