Deepbit offline...

[pwnyboy]

wow this is weird are ISP's starting to block deepbit?? I can check my stuff on my phone 3G but none of my computers will connect to the web site nor the server.

I don't think anyone's blocking deepbit.  Rather, deepbit is blocking people, probably part of some DoS protection scheme.  One of my miners is blocked as well.

I'm not quite sure why none of Bitcoin's "critical infrastructure" employs a vast network of proxies, rather than "DoS protection" which is usually problematic.

All working fine for my worker, and transactions I was gonna create a worker for each miner (, but I think I'll leave it, as it is working nicely.

So, Deepbit is now safe guarded against DDoS attacks ?

Someone on another thread mentioned taking down a certain pool via DDoS means, obviously this one, which would kind of annoy me, seeing as most of my miners use this pool. I've also got some on BTC Guild. If one pool is down then at least some of my miners are working

FWIW I am experiencing the same issue.  I don't think it has anything to do with ISP blocking and more to do with some form of DDoS protection.

I'm getting that on some of my miners - not all just the ones that I want to work

I have 2 of my miners (on two different Internet IPs) still blocked.  Such a shame too, I like deepbit better than any of the other pools I've looked at.

Please, check my thread instead of this one.
I'm not updating all the threads, sorry.

[btw. how can one stop a ddos attack? or defend against it?]

I have a script I use on all my major websites to prevent a DDoS attack. Basically it forwards flooding connections to fbi.gov the issue usually...well resolves itself.

I'm getting:

Windows cannot find '--host=pit.deepbit.net". Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.

What am I doing wrong? Or is Deepbit stuffed?

I gave you a complete answer in my thread. Why don't you want to read it ?
