How many packets per second were involved in the attack? The attack was/is at least 20 Gbit/sec. It is my understanding that the FBI has taken over the investigation. |

To put that into perspective, that's pretty effin big. According to the video above, the largest rumored DDoS throughput was 80 Gbit/s, while the researcher has seen 10 Gbits/s as a high. 20 Gbits/s is massive. I wonder if it's Koobface or TDL as the infector? |

I hope they find and prosecute the bastards; DDoSing somebody because you disagree with them is never OK.
In fact, I think there is never a situation where DDoSing is OK, even if you're trying to accomplish something good (philosophical discussions about ends justifying the means should move to off-topic...)

When do I get paid?
You will enter the Payout Queue once you qualify for payout. This is when you have earned 400 TBC (0.67108864 BTC). You will enter the payout queue for Namecoins once you reach 42.95 NMC (2^32 / 1e8).

For testing purposes only (ie, I don't guarantee this works yet), Eligius now supports getmemorypool-based mining. Currently, miners are not allowed to modify anything except nonce/ntime, but it does at least enable auditing what goes into the blocks you're working on in realtime (and possibly switching to another pool if anything looks awry). Since this is untested, and not supported by any miner (as far as I know), I have renamed the JSON-RPC method to "test_getmemorypool" for now; please get in touch with me on IRC if you want to work on a miner/proxy implementing this. Probably the best starting points for implementing a proxy are either the p2pool client (Python2/Twisted) or the BitPenny client (C++).

I have written a short (57 line) one-user proof-of-concept getmemorypool proxy, and included it in Eloipool's serve_getmemorypool branch. By using this locally, you can add code to audit the blocks in any way you want. Due to Eligius currently requiring the "test_" prefix, you will need to add it to the gmp-proxy.py file (prepend "getmemorypool" and "submitblock"). Please contact me on IRC if you would like to help take this to the next level. To use (after the edits just mentioned), just run ./gmp-proxy.py http://youraddress:x@mining.eligius.st:8337 Then connect your miner to localhost on port 9332 Edit: Note that this uses Eloipool's JSONRPCServer class, which I optimized to handle heavy loads. Unfortunately, there is no way to do this in a Windows-compatible manner, so this gmp-proxy.py will not work on Windows yet. It might be possible to grab an old thread-based JSONRPCServer from earlier Eloipool versions, but I haven't tried it. |

I am satisfied that getmemorypool is working, so it has been promoted to non-testing. Here are some simple setup instructions for Linux. Note that this does not support longpolling yet, so there may be high stales. |

What do you mean by DECENTRALIZED?
Is this a lie ? Eligius can't be decnetralized,seriously.

What do you mean by DECENTRALIZED? The same way as p2pool: miners can make their own work. |

Correct me if I am wrong, but what this means to the miners is that they now have a way to verify that the work they have done is being reflected in the blocks that the pool produces. This is a good improvement if implemented widely, but for now needs somewhat manual checking. |

This is a good improvement if implemented widely, but for now needs somewhat manual checking. Pretty much. They can also append their own stuff to the coinbase if they like. gmp-proxy uses that to generate local work, so you can have pretty much unlimited local miners running off a single work. |

This is interesting but I don't understand the low level details. Does this imply that mining this way with the proxy achieves the same independence as p2p or solo regarding 51% attacks and/or voting?
