Title: BTC Guild being DDos'd ? Post by: Olly_K on July 05, 2011, 11:48:37 AM Been mining with BTC Guild and know that they're moving servers so I'm temporarily mining somewhere else.
Although on the "My Account" page on BTC Guild, it says "Temporarily disabled while being DDoS'd." What's up with that ? Title: Re: BTC Guild being DDos'd ? Post by: Einewton on July 05, 2011, 01:30:54 PM Yeah man, They are having a mad time getting thier shizzle together out there. These people that are DOSS'n need to grow up and grow balls... Bunch of kids killing a good thing I'd supose.

Title: Re: BTC Guild being DDos'd ? Post by: smokie128 on July 05, 2011, 02:15:18 PM At this very Moment, it's only the "My Account" Page that shows the DDoS Message.
Bad thing is, i want to pay out and i can't :( Title: Re: BTC Guild being DDos'd ? Post by: josephholsten on July 05, 2011, 03:50:52 PM It's normal for the web front end to say that sort of thing while the pool service boxes are down. It'll be nice once they get their boxes to the new facility. Sounds like they're even fighting with their colo right now.
Title: Re: BTC Guild being DDos'd ? Post by: gochk on July 05, 2011, 04:06:22 PM Ran my miner just to btcguild and that was a mistake. Wasted resources - electricity, system wear and tear for 0 btc last night. aarrgghhh ... darn DDOS'n

We need to do something about this... Moved from BTCGuild to http://www.nofeemining.com (http://www.nofeemining.com)... Title: Re: BTC Guild being DDos'd ?

Post by: mc_lovin on July 05, 2011, 05:06:25 PM the web site doesn't work for me unless i go to http://www.btc-guild.com ?
Title: Re: BTC Guild being DDos'd ? Post by: ThiagoCMC on July 05, 2011, 06:00:49 PM If you guys can not connect to a pool, start solo mining quickly!
Do not let the Bitcoin Network without miners support! Title: Re: BTC Guild being DDos'd ? Post by: Olly_K on July 05, 2011, 07:30:03 PM yeah, the website was down for me ealier, it's back up now with the message on the front page:
We are recovering from a large scale DDoS on all of our servers. Pool servers are offline for a few more hours. Good thing is they let you cash out your coins. I'm mining with Deepbit again now Title: Re: BTC Guild being DDos'd ? Post by: nealmcb on July 05, 2011, 09:09:53 PM Here's a link to the main discussion about the DDoS - easy to lose it in the huge BTC Guild thread.

Title: Re: BTC Guild being DDos'd ? Post by: czz on July 05, 2011, 10:18:31 PM bb,
You could just run more than one miner simultaneously, each with its own pool. Second miner will take over all your CPU/GPU resources while the first one will be waiting for a dead pool. Title: Re: BTC Guild being DDos'd ? Post by: CaLPaR on July 05, 2011, 11:59:16 PM Took the day off from mining. :)
BTW the USeast server if running. Never thought I'd see BTC Guild runing with 351 workers. Title: Re: BTC Guild being DDos'd ?

Second miner will take over all your CPU/GPU resources while the first one will be waiting for a dead pool. ^ this... just open another miner with the same graphics card and set the -f flag higher than the first instance If your using GUIMiner this is pretty simple, the default is -f30 (unless you changed it) so just start your fallback miner with -f60 Title: Re: BTC Guild being DDos'd ? Post by: bb on July 06, 2011, 04:02:17 AM It's not all that easy. Right now BTC Guild is down and Bitclockers is very unreliable. So I'd need a third miner on let's say deepbit. Now if I had 4 GPUs that would be twelve miners already. :)
Title: Re: BTC Guild being DDos'd ? Post by: zenmetsu on July 06, 2011, 04:34:24 AM I have switched over to eligius.st for the time being. Spotty connectivity until I rammed my miners through Tor to make the connection, now it works fine.
Some people have issues and others do not. Often times using a VPN connection to a a different provider resolves the problem. Unfortunately my only other connection point would be through work, and I'm not about to use business resources for mining. -zen Title: Re: BTC Guild being DDos'd ? Post by: dlasher on July 06, 2011, 06:23:51 AM lots of people took hits today, even deepbit had portions of either web site down, 100% rejects, or both.. :( Title: Re: BTC Guild being DDos'd ? Post by: WillMitchell on July 06, 2011, 06:43:18 AM Its all about TripleMining ;D
