We prevent access to game but purpose due to DDOS attack. Mining process will not be affected, miners are continuing to solve blocks. We will find a permanent solution soon, until then thank you for your understanding.

It still hurts those that were repairing and now can't mine because they can't activate their systems...

That said, it sucks, that it's yet another site being attacked for seemingly no reason.

For sure aliser will do something regarding that to make up the loss ... And as to the site being under dos attack with no reason, your wrong since minerfarm has grown popular in recent weeks and months so many will try to damage the website and to ruin aliser's work for that matter

Then what is their reason for doing that, if I'm wrong? What do they gain?

They could be one of his current competitions which would do all they can to lure away the users of minerfarm to go into their own sites instead or rather a future competition which tries to do some damage to minerfarm before coming out and introducing their services so this way the user's might think twice for remaining or investing on the new one... Also it could be just someone who has nothing else to do and just wan't to do the damage to any website for fun...the possibilities varies

You can not access the Minerfarm for security updates. You can access again in a few hours.

Have you looked into integrating even a free Cloudflare account to help with DDoS and https.  Might be worth consideration and can be setup in mere minutes.  Not sure what type of caching your site could integrate with their CDN but I'd think itd be helpful to stop attacks at their edge.

+1 I also use Cloudflare for some websites. Even the free account works great to stop those attacks. It could also make the website even more faster.

What does "wds" mean? Not familiar with that acronym...

Not entirely sure on this but I think what his mentioning is "Windows DHCP Server" which a DHCP Server assigns IP addresses to client computers. You may read for more information's in this link: http://www.dhcpserver.de/cms/

     That's actually WLBS (Windows Load Balancing Service) which was a software solution that allowed multiple IP's to be utilized within a group/cluster of web facing servers.  Basically the software version of a Network Load Balancer.  Was mainly used on Microsoft web servers utilizing the 207. range until the DOS attack that brought down www.microsoft.com for about 3 days around 2001/2002.  The software didn't allow for masking of the shared IPs which lead to the DOS attack on the routers in the Tukwilia Data Center.  Needless to say they started using BIGIP switches soon after and retired WLBS.  The software was created by John Wolferton who worked at Digital/Compaq as a Software Engineer Lead in support of Data Center Operations for the Microsoft account.

     Side note, when John left Compaq during the Dot Com bubble he had been attempting to have Microsoft upgrade their network security as the WLBS was only to be a temp solution because of the security issues yet Microsoft decide that the the service was the only thing needed out of the encyclopedia of security issues within the MS infrastructure that John and others within the group pointed out.  So on John's final day with Compaq, he used the internal exchange gal to send a mail globally from Bill Gates account stating (speaking as he was Bill), that he was a complete idiot and the fact that his choice, to be a cheap ass and only implement what was only meant to be a short term fix, scoffing at what was truely required, is the reason for the DOS attack, and the fact that a vendor was using his account at this very moment, was justification for him to dissolve his company, let alone the lose of revenue from the site being down and the major hardware and man hour costs that were now needed to rectify the situation.  In ending pointed out that a bunch of software designers should in the future, remove their conceded heads from their holier then thou asses, and listen to the people of the company that built, designed, monitored, and maintained their global infrastructure. 

After sending the email to global address book at roughly 3:30 p.m. on a Friday, he forced all accounts on the executive exchange server to be locked and set a new common password shut down his workstation, shut down the executive  exchange server, as John had also been hosting Microsoft's Executive Exchange Server on his personally owned Compaq Proliant 3000 which he normally used for testing but during the DOS attack, Microsoft's internal intranet had been accessed by hackers giving them free admin level reign.  The quickest solution was to create a new exchange server but at the time server hardware was 3/4 weeks out for a new server, so John volunteered his server to be utilized and it was agreed that it would be and that a new system was priority on MS's list, John's last dat was about 6 months after the DOS attack and he had spent the last 2 telling them he was leaving and taking his server when he did.  So he loaded his equipment, said his goodbyes to those he wished, turned in his cell and pager, and left for his new engineering position with a startup which required a move for him and absolutely no way for anyone to get a hold of him for the next two weeks, he then sent Compaq an email telling them where he had moved the executive accounts to and explained that all of MS were dumb asses because he set the passwords to "password" and in two weeks the millions of MS employees trying to gain access to the accounts not a single one figured it out.

What happens if I deposit some amount, and change my deposit address before the transaction completed?

What happens if I deposit some amount, and change my deposit address before the transaction completed?

Even if you change the deposit address, transaction that has been sent to your previous deposit address completes successfully.

[SFR10]

Hey aliser, can we get a quote from you? Hopefully something along the lines of "MinerFarm is not a ponzi scheme and the money invested is actually being invested elsewhere".

Because right now you seem to be answering other questions and dodging this one... shady

Not sure if you know regarding the faucets aliser created so far in which never failed to pay the users plus his a well known member of the community, that's why people invested in the game as well without thinking twice and on a side note, his a busy person doing stuff for the community and here and there he misses to actually reply to some of the comments sometimes as that is not the only matter he have missed so far if you go back and read the whole thread from the start

I think its not a ponzi. I believe he maybe investing in some kind of investment that secure? As now the site are running well and pay always, still not sure until when this will alive. But hopefully long live for this.
And Alister kind enough to give new member 10ghs for free to test this.. this is the nice step.

I think the concept of the game is, advertising revenue and people buying stuff from the shop help pay for the blocks people find as well as server costs. Since this is a virtual game, this "bitcoin network" is stored inside a game. I wouldn't think it is a cloud mining scam because it clearly states on the homepage

"MinerFarm is a simulation game that works like cloud mining systems."

and to this point I can wrap my head around the idea.

The 10gh/s is to help people grab a feel of the game. This 10 gh doesn't exist in reality.
Then the faucet helps people accumulate more btc to buy better upgrades. It is a low payout, and doesn't surprise me.

So lets list this out

Keys to Understand

• This game is advertised as a virtual simulation of bitcoin mining
• This game allows you to withdraw your coins at any time
• This game allows you to sell your hardware to other users, in-turn you get some or all your money back
• This game is roughly equivalent to real BTC mining, the more hashrate in the game, the harder to get btc.
• I ran the math about a month ago to have the results of this:

Also compared to bitcoinwisdom having a number of 826 satoshi per gh per day, you get roughly 650 satoshi per gh per day on the game. That doesn't really bother me at all, because it is a faucet game.

The ROI on the otherhand is pretty on par as you get up to like 100+gh miners. It is roughly 100-180 days to ROI in-game.

Just my two cents.

Try to enter "your total balance - 1 satoshi" For example, you have 0.01 BTC on your minerfarm balance. You can withdraw 0.00999999 BTC or a lesser amount.

I "went in" on this with a few other users and some of them have expressed an interest to cash out.  I thought this might be a good opportunity for someone looking to get into this game to do so at a discount and with an already established pool.  Still open to offers.
