Guess looking for some smaller, less well-known pools can be worth the effort. Title: Re: Anyone have info on Litecoinpool.org outage? Post by: SlickMcFavorite on April 05, 2013, 11:33:33 AM I switched to P2Pool and it works really well.
Plus it's better for the strength of the network because it is decentralized. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155453.0 Title: Re: Anyone have info on Litecoinpool.org outage? Post by: peacefulmind on April 05, 2013, 11:38:28 AM they are all being DDoS.

Title: Re: Anyone have info on Litecoinpool.org outage? Post by: SlickMcFavorite on April 05, 2013, 11:50:20 AM It took me about 6 minutes to set it up, so it's really not that tough.
As for transaction bloat -- I just have a separate wallet for my P2pool deposits. |
