All DDoS'd at the same time.

Will P2Pool save us?

This is *very* suspicious and calls for attention

Site is back up, mining seems to be ok too.

Someone trying to make sure the next diff change is small ??

[unknown.usr]

Slush pool site is down; is mining affected?  I can't tell because I monitor through Slush's API and website.

My Pi says we are up:

hmm.. all seems well, I didn't see any downtime but I suppose I wouldn't know forsure.
Miners all systems go...

I did see the pool get to like 97000gh this morning now back down to 81000.

Not sure if that is weird.

I want a KNCminer 1st day shipped, who wants to sell their 1st day order to me? My 20gh/s is now making me cringe.

Average hashrate in last 10 rounds: 18809 Mhash/s

This is a strange one. I have been at 19850mh for last 10 rounds since starting with Slush in July. Is this the effect of the DDoS

I had a disconnect and re-connect about 3 hours ago, offline for less than 1 min.

This has happened quite a few times over the last couple of years. In the end rollover to solo mining to keep the network safe. (And this is good opportunity to install and play with pool software if you're running an ASIC, since the client, of course, won't cope).

Except, for many of us solo mining = no mining.  There is a reason for pools.

Don't worry. I've got my i5 hashing away as security for the network while the attacks are going on.

how do you setup solo mining and whats a decent amount of Ghash to make it worth while

Hmm, I see my rig switched to my backup pool for a few moments. It switched back to Slush, but now my worker diff jumped from 8 to 19. Hopefully it'll settle down soon....

All rigs currently switched to slush as back-up. Slush in Operation. LED fireworks started a minute ago. This has not happened before in 12.000 hours of Operation. Somebody / something is pounding the big pools. With so many People from prc and russia mining it must not be NSA.

Geez, my reward drops more and more each day.  Soon it will be negative!

If the bitcoin network has been compromised because all the pools are down then there'll be no mining for you anyway; solo mining is the last resort that protects the network. This attack certainly never came anywhere near to downing all the pools so whatever. (Don't forget that failover strategy...)

So I am back on Slush because 50btc is being DDoS now. BTCguild was DDoS then stabilized now lost connection to that pool too.......
