litecoinpool.org usually gets hit the hardest, and my pool is still under attack, they probably are as well.

ahh ok. Didnt know that. I guess a couple of the pools coming up was only the worst of it verses it being totally over.

Thanks for the clarification!

I guess at least on the upside.. difficulty will be back in the 20's for a couple days after next difficulty change.. (whenever the heck that is..)

That said.. time to cash out on some coinlab loyalty points for now!

(and man do I wish ppc had a gui like the other coins or else i'd start mining that to)

So most pools seem to be back online now, other than loosing hashing time and possibly loosing a few miners is there any damage to the pool when attacked like this?

90 invalid blocks in TRC pool and 6 invalid ones in LTC pool.
During attack pool managed to solved some blocks but almost all were invalids.

90 invalid blocks in TRC pool and 6 invalid ones in LTC pool.
During attack pool managed to solved some blocks but almost all were invalids.

So is this then hashes that were submitted by users? as i was unable to connect during the attack..... i just don't see how blocks could have been solved with no user connection? I take it the DoS attack was causing the daemons to be unable to get updates to the latest block and hence were solving blocks that were not the latest ones and hence the invalids??

Also just out of interest, did u have to do anything to bring the site backonline... or did the attack just stop?

I'm very interested in setting up a pool like coinotrons (handle many alt coin chains) but not done this before and might need a few pointers if anyone wants to PM me some details but after these attacks and reading community responses on here more pools would be welcomed right? Smiley

From time to time miners were able to connect , get work and submit results. If you were lucky you could even connect to website and view pool hashrates (I don't remember exact values, I observed like 15 MH in LTC pool). Probably Coinotron was simply solving blocks without information that they are old ones Smiley

They just stopped attacking.

Definitely there is a need of having more pools. Especially in case of PPC and TRC.

I'd like to speculate on the reason for the attacks. There has to be a reason..

a. Somebody that doesn't like Litecoin
       1. Not much we can do about that, there will always be these types of people.

b. Someone that can profit from the attacks
      1. A large solo farm mining LTC
      2. A botnet mining LTC
      4. A private pool mining LTC
      3. ANYONE really that mines LTC, because the difficulty will be lower.
      4. A large trader trying to induce a sell off

I'm sure I'm missing some examples there, anyone else have some ideas of who the culprit could be??

It could of been anyone really... it could of been me, but I have an Alibi!  Wink  Grin

Anybody think the DDoS will come back when the difficulty rises again?

If a major LTC botnet miner did this, he's got what he wanted: scaring away newcomer miners and lowering the difficulty.  It worked but it's despicable.
