If you are mining at home and you DO get hit by a DDoS, generally all it takes is a MAC change on your computer or router to get a new IP.
Now if you have a static IP as part of a hosting agreement or something it might be harder to escape, like Deepbit has been seeing. The DDoS attacks have been against the centrally located Pool servers, not the miners.
If you are worried about DDoS, use P2Pool yourself or if you have a high enough hashrate there are private pools operated by several of the majors. I know BTCGuild has a private DNS entry available to some, although with the Stratum switchover I believe that they are passing all actual pool traffic to the same IP.

waiting for activation email, are your servers melting or did the Internet eat it?
(on Google Apps for my Domain, I have checked spam folder)
Congratulations on completing a systems rollout. I've been through CRM rollouts a few times and they are a hassle, but worth it.
Spam folder ate it, all good now. |

In all seriousness, this really is a cool venture.
I had a small amount of BTC I wanted to be working, so I split it several places including Pyramining.
I highly recommend it as part of a diversification strategy to avoid another drama episode.

Nope, it got stuck since I transferred it directly from another site that only does periodic payouts. Should be there now.
I gave a whole day of mining, a massive 0.1 BTC!
(impatiently waiting for BFL pre-orders to drop, so I can skip from GPU to ASIC.)
Keep it up SBCD! This reminds me of when I had a street artist that frequented the sidewalk near our office, but without having to get coffee spilled on me while I look.

Fantastic thread
How about a picture of a Pirate with a BitCoin Eyepatch to close out the holiday?
Sorry for delay, here you go!  http://imgur.com/CNVdEAwesome, tipped. |

If this is still up I might be interested, but then I read the thing about not modifying pre-orders...
Rats...

BTCGuild.com has a nice predictable PPS system, and is more stable than Mt. Red. I tried Bitparking merged mining, but I was only making 90% as much there even with the lower fees because of stales. Right now BTCGuild has a Stratum (new protocol) Beta server up that is 0% fee, so I'm giving that a try next. not sure where I will land when the Jally gets here, but I think I'll have tried all of them by then  |

I've got one on pre-order. I'm currently pool mining with several bits of crappy hardware at total of 16Mhash/s  Thanks, it makes my 300Mh/s feel a lot roomier! I'm doing the same thing, but only looking forward to 11.5x performance increase, not the 218x that you will be getting |

I'll pile on the the BitInstant recommendation, getting the Money online fast is a good idea in this market and it was pretty painless. When I got home from the store I had BTC. (well 2 verifications at least)
With 10k you will have to trickle it out over a week unless part of the money (really, not just pretend) belongs to someone else who could transfer their own 2k per day.

In an effort to earn my way out of Newbie purgatory I shall follow the topic, and actually introduce myself.
Hi, My name is Scrybe, and I'm from the Internet where I have existed since 1991.
I'm annoyed that I didn't get into BitCoin in 2009 when I first ran into it, but now that I have I'm looking at a very vibrant (and entertaining) folks (and drama queens.)
I'm interested in mining, and forecasting for mining, and am waiting on a small BFL order to move up from GPU to ASIC once that path is available (don't believe the doubters, too many are working on this.)
I've got a bit of LiteCoin and other AltCoins going as well, and GLBSE 2.0 is a nice step forward where I see a lot of folks trying to innovate.
IRL I'm in Management at an IT Consulting company, so I see interesting parallels between the work I do with systems there, and the opportunities in the BitCoin space.
This is still the beginning for BTC, I'm glad I hopped on now before things really get moving (but after pirate seems to be a good thing)
Have fun, and be safe. There are a lot of wolves out there.
Scrybe

I wish these restrictions had been a bit clearer when I signed up a month ago, oh well.
