I would suggest EVERYBODY to quit ABCPool and join a pool with regular mining to a low fee (for instance - btcguild or whatever, even deepbit is better for the community then this shit) FWIW, Eligius continues to offer no* fee SMPPS which has maintained the same payout as straight PPS longer than any other pool. * There's technically a small fee in the form of legacy debug information, but it works out to so little (under 1 BTC per year from the whole pool) that it might as well be a rounding error. |

next-test is a branch of the mainline bitcoind & Bitcoin-Qt with as many pull requests merged as possible, to aid in testing them. This branch can be used to test many pull requests in your daily Bitcoin use. The goal is to help pull requests get the testing they need to be merged into the main tree, so once you test a change, please comment in the relevant pull request (ideally with details). Please note these might possibly corrupt your wallet. No warranty of any kind of provided. BACKUP YOUR WALLETI have been maintaining next-test for months now, but this is the first next-test with Win32 binaries available: Today's next-test includes the following pull requests (green are merged now; red are disputed): Bugs found: |

Unfortunately, it looks like BIP 16 is going to prevail simply because of personal nonsense. Gavin is the only developer who actually objects to BIP 17.

There is no reason to expect BIP 17 will have any such problems.

How many packets per second were involved in the attack? The attack was/is at least 20 Gbit/sec. It is my understanding that the FBI has taken over the investigation. |

mining.eligius.st back online for IPv4 now, thanks to wizkid using Amazon EC2's DDoS protection to setup a proxy. Hopefully we can get stats back to IPv4 soon too, but for now, please continue to use the tor2web address: https://nf3f4ckca56zjtuh.tor2web.org/~artefact2/ |

The attacker seems to be ready to resume DDoS as soon as I announce a new server. Therefore, please contact me privately on IRC to learn the new IPv4 server.

IPv4 seems to be restored.

will there be a fix that will allow me to continue mining on eligius using windows xp or do i have to install windows 7? i cant even log into the eligius site
IPv4 connectivity is expected to be restored ASAP. Windows XP can use IPv6 too, but it's not as simple... |

When pool will be back to life?
As soon as the datacenter reactivates our IP addresses. In the meantime, IPv6 is working fine. |

It was a DDoS. Thanks go to ageis, and also James with BitVPS for locating the botnet controller and getting it taken offline.

Perhaps people with considerate mining power should do some more heavy testing.
Why do you need heavy computing power for the tests? This is basically a miner-only change. BIP 17 has had plenty of mainnet testing. |

Only BIP 17, and only if someone actually wants/needs it, then. :p
I doubt I can do the patch/compile. So, I would like to have one. Windows binaries for 0.5.2 with BIP 17 protocol support: http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bip17/bip17_v0.5.2/Be aware that (as with BIP 16 clients), these will begin strictly enforcing BIP 17 rules at a future date by default. If BIP 17 has not yet achieved a majority by this date, you will need to be prepared to change the date by editing your bitcoin.conf (or installing an update). For this binary, the default time is midnight UTC on Feb 22. It can be overridden by adding 'p2shtime=T' to your bitcoin.conf, where T is the UNIX time (number of seconds since midnight UTC Dec 31 1969). |
