It takes about thirty seconds to load but it eventually happens.

It would work nicely with a scrypt proof-of-work currency, like litecoin.

From Brian Kreb's blog:

A few caveats are in order here. First, many of the network owners listed are Internet service providers, and are likely included because some of their subscribers were hit. Second, it is not clear how many systems in each of these companies or networks were compromised, for how long those intrusions persisted, or whether the attackers successfully stole sensitive information from all of the victims. Finally, some of these organizations (there are several antivirus firms mentioned  below) may be represented because they  intentionally compromised internal systems in an effort to reverse engineer malware used in these attacks.

That explains the lack of detail.

We're getting some more information about the RSA hack into Northrop Grumman.

A massive cyberattack that led to a vulnerability in RSA's SecurID tags earlier this year also victimized Google, Facebook, Microsoft and many other big-named companies, according to a new analysis released this week.

The next software will fix this.

Are you switching to a whole new software suite?
126  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Foundation on: October 26, 2011, 08:05:07 PM
However, over the last six months or so it has become obvious to me that the rest of the world isn't set up to interact with a radically decentralized system like Bitcoin...

What in particular made you think that?

B) No I do not pay for elec, I have a datacenter, I pay a hosting rate

Is this to say you own a datacenter or are just leasing from one? Since you say your not paying for electricity, leasing has got to be much more expensive?

UPDATE: Stability issues have been resolved.

Pool seems to be down on my end.

Code:
Phone: 816 226 6966
Fax: 816 226 6966

Can a phone and fax number be the same?

Doesn't p2pool offer the same advantage?
131  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Price Conspiracy on: October 19, 2011, 08:12:29 PM
Thoughts?

Crazy.
132  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mass DDOS part 2 on: October 19, 2011, 07:43:49 PM
I thought DDOS attacks were "only because of the upcoming hashrate change deadline"?
So what's the explanation now?
Unless it really is the banking interests.

Silly talk. I've never heard anyone say DDOS attacks only occur close to a re-target. If the goal was to lower difficulty it doesn't make a difference when to bring down the hashrate, only that you take it down for a significant amount of time. Not even going to touch the "banking interests" line.
133  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mass DDOS part 2 on: October 19, 2011, 06:41:30 PM
Also, if everyone's miners switched to different pools and/or solo when shit like this happens, wouldn't that still keep the network safe?

Yes, but the DDOS from a week ago shows that most people didn't do either of those.
134  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mass DDOS part 2 on: October 19, 2011, 06:37:27 PM
Once again....when a pool's website goes down, that's when it stops being shown in that chart-- not when the actual mining pool goes down, so it's basically like renaming existing resources as "Other". Big deal.

I know this. Miner's from each pool will have to report back whether they're still up or not.
135  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mass DDOS part 2 on: October 19, 2011, 06:32:46 PM
who is hitting what now?

Updated post with more info. All three were taken down less than a week ago. I guess they're back again.

137  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Why do you mine on deepbit? on: October 13, 2011, 11:04:06 PM
What is ABC's current payout per share ?

50 / 1689334.4045971 = 0.0000295974555801 per share.

0% means they take no portion of shares. Longevity is largely irrelevant, you can do auto-payouts so they don't ever hold a meaningful portion of your coins.
138  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Why do you mine on deepbit? on: October 13, 2011, 06:46:26 PM
Compared to the 10% PPS Fee @ Deepbit ? ....... What PURE-PPS Pools offer a lower fee with stability and under 1% Stale count ? ..not to mention, paying out for bad blocks.....IMMEDIATELY, no wait.

BTC Guild PPS is unbeatable in that respect.

abcpool.co has 0% PPS AND they pay for stale shares. It's remarkebly stable and my invalids are always a quarter of a percent. I've been mining there for over a month and its a dream pool.

You guys should be taking Mt. Red's place in the top 10.  Cool

Any plans for moving towards merged mining?
