can't connect to pool

also you should change your setting to stratum
stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333

read there website there taking 10% of your earnings
14.04.2013
As announced in Getwork deprecation plan, the hashrate on Stratum is far above 90%, so workers which are still using the deprecated Getwork protocol are now charged by 10% fee. Please update your software and start using modern Stratum miners to reduce your fees back to 2%!

Just change your miner to other and list stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 manually.  You'll also be getting your share of the block fee's since slush shares them between all who use stratum.  That 33 btc was very nice a couple of days ago (8tbc block fee during the crash)

DDOS can be mitigated, I can help if anyone can get me in contact with Slush.  I do this stuff for a living.

Stratum seems to be down as well now.

Very interesting. I feel like I would have figured this out on my own if I was a little bit more intelligent.

Check Windows firewall settings and enable guiminer.

The whole pool is down right now. DDoS attack. Read this https://defuse.ca/bitcoin-pool-ddos.htm if you want to understand why this would be worse if Slush's Pool was a much larger operation. I'm mining solo until the pool comes back.

pool is up???

pool is up???

pool is up but still under heavy ddos attack. im still not getting a connection just timing out

also mitigating of ddos is simple aslong as its a simple ddos attack slush is a very smart guy and can easily solve simple ddos attacks so im assuming this is either a bot net ddos multiple ip addresses rotating and causing mayhem or one of the newer ddos attacks where there using internet gateways to attack the dns. either way its not a simple one to solve.

the easiest ways to solve ddos is havr more bandwith than the attackers but this comes at a price there are people that do this the famous one being cloudflare or koddos but they cost

Newbie question here; I just set up Stratum, but due to the DDOS I'm not sure if I did it right. I want to get back to mining as soon as this is resolved, can anyone tell me if this error is just because of the DDOS or because I set up Stratum wrong?

Thanks in advanced!

for some reason people keep ddosing bitcoin idk why its stupid if u ask me

[vm1990]

looks fine to me the connection is timing out because of the ddos and it looks like its going to be a long haul attack more than a few hours now... id love to get the ip addresses of some of the attacking computers id ddos them back and make some good use of my busness lines

[vivabitcoin]

Haha would be good, it's a shame, it really doesn't hurt anyone, why ddos it. I'm just waiting for it to be all over...

[vm1990]

mostly out of spite as slush is one of the few that hasnt gone with a big anti ddos company so its one of the few major pools that can still be ddosed its a shame really that somewhere out there theres sone lonely retarded asshole so bored and so pathetic hes ddosing a website

for the time being my miners are on coinotron.com

Hey so I can connect with the Getwork protocol, but this is what Stratum returns:

I can connect via the getwork protocol (api.bitcon.cz:8332), but I can't on the stratum (stratum.bitcon.cz:3333)

Can someone help me? Cause no matter what I do, nothing seems to work...

As always, thanks in advance!

is it possible to catch some packets with wireshark or other program and see what type are, and then block udp and icmp and use egress filtering???
