Title: What is happening with suprnova.cc ?
Post by: K1lo on November 01, 2016, 12:13:58 PM
As subject, what is happening with their pools? They've been bouncing up and down for the last couple of days showing 'Site Maintenance' (screenshot below), resetting/refusing connections and even dropping stratum connections to my miners.

They've never had the most reliable front-ends for their pools, however what's been happening for the last few days is crazy!

I'm guessing all the ZEC mining is overwhelming them at the moment, but my question is - are they doing anything about this or just hunkering down and trying to weather the storm?

Should I move my ZEC mining elsewhere?

If thereīs one guy you can trust, thatīs OCMINER

Shares are safe, only frontend is having troubles.

I lost coins there because a lot of forks appeared.
I guess they are ddosed constantly and don't do enough for mitigation.
Some experts said their system is wide open to attacks, punching out their wallets.

Can you elaborate? I'm not worried about losing coins because I don't store them on the pool. I have auto-payouts set for all the coins I mine with them.

How did you lose coins?

Their wallet forked, they mined on a new chain for 2 days, all these coins were lost (XVC).
