Title: three big litecoin pools down, march 16th, 2012. Post by: jonathan on March 16, 2012, 08:40:25 AM Thanks script kiddies.
http://mine.pool-x.eu:8337 http://miningpool.com:9350 http://litecoinpool.org:9332 All bitten the dust as I write. Users at btc-e.com are reporting p2pool under DOS attack as well. Crap.

Post by: Fuzzy on March 16, 2012, 10:52:27 AM Who is doing this? Do they really think this has any lasting effect on anything, and don't they have any better causes to pursue than ddosing pools?

Do they really think this has any lasting effect on anything, and don't they have any better causes to pursue than ddosing pools? because they can because they weren't aware early enough and aren't making any money from bitcoin/litecoin/solidcoin they are trying to 51% the network mostly, just because. marked Title: Re: three big litecoin pools down, march 16th, 2012. Post by: DeathAndTaxes on March 16, 2012, 01:19:49 PM Any idea how they are attacking p2pool. Does LTC p2pool has a small number of nodes?
That 3.0 MH/s pre DDOS number how many nodes was that? Title: Re: three big litecoin pools down, march 16th, 2012. Post by: wknight on March 16, 2012, 02:28:15 PM I must be blind.

Post by: LoWang on March 19, 2012, 03:28:59 AM propably, have you got the latest patches on your litecoind? OK it would be good if you included a link to the patches so I could check it if you ask me that way wouldn't it? ;)most of the pools have patched to help mitigate the latest problems I am using windows daemon binary (version 50004) from here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=47417.0). There seem to be no patches announced...but I would not be surprised if they were just for Linux. |
