Title: Can't get Stratum running since DDoS
Post by: MyOldGeForce on April 18, 2013, 06:54:07 PM
As the title says, I can't get Stratum to work on Slush's Pool since the DDoS attack, even though it says in the thread that it should be up and running.

Miners that use Getwork functions properly, but not Stratum. Stratum worked perfectly before the DDoS.

At the moment I am running GUIMiner with OpenCL (one of few things that work, even though I have a GeForce card), this is what shows up in the console, except password replaced with ******.

And so on.

I have tried stratum2.bitcoin.cz and stratum3.bitcoin.cz too.

I haven't tried to run poclbm without GUIMiner, but I don't see why that would make a difference either.

Can you do: "nslookup stratum.bitcoin.cz"  I believe he moved his servers recently and if you are using an old dns cache...

Name:    stratum.bitcoin.cz
Addresses:  54.214.10.101
          54.214.10.134
          54.214.10.135
          54.214.10.150
          54.214.4.50

I tried pasting that in a cmd window. It gives the same addresses as you have here, only in a different order. I suppose those are the new addresses?

They're still having problems getting everything back up. Some people can connect, but not everybody.

Also, don't use Getwork. After the DDoS they posted that they will be charging 10% pool fees if you use Getwork. Just be patient for a little bit longer and hopefully they will be fully operational soon.

Why not? Keeping 90% of something is better than keeping 98% of nothing. Of course I will switch to Stratum when it comes back up.

True. I just mean as far as those fees go, nobody wants 10% fees.

I still haven't had any luck with Stratum on Slush's Pool, but I asked it to retry every 30 minutes instead of 30 seconds.

It still doesn't work. It seems to connect, because when I enter an incorrect password, it says "At least one server is required" and i get two stale/invalid shares.

Saw your post in Slush's thread, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Guiminer - maybe something got corrupted.

I'm using Guiminer and connecting isn't a problem.

I tried another version that I have installed, and it works! Thanks!

I had "downdated" GUIMiner to have Phoenix for mining on Bitcoinpool.com, but I had the later version left too, and that works!
