way to much when you can buy the miners for .11 each new

even 0.11 is overpriced.

Something is up. Pool hashing power just dropped in half in the last 10 minutes.

are we under attack becuase of whats happning in america?

What /is/ happening in America? Something new or unusual, or the usual crap? I am slightly interested, since that is where I live, though I freely admit I pay absolutely no attention to the news, the paper, radio or anything else pretty much. I freely admit I'm fairly ignorant, in fact.

Anybody have any idea where these attacks might be coming from, or who is doing it? And why; who would possibly benefit from it. Is it just out of meanness? Does somebody have a real motive, or do they just wanna brag to their friends? How big a botnet would it take to do attacks of this nature?

Sometimes they steal something in the following chaos and it goes unnoticed.
Also its not just about the size of the botnet, its about co-ordination as well,

If everyone in the uk switched on their electric kettle at 7-50 pm instead of 8-00 pm, then the sudden demand would shut down the power grid.(it's expected at 8pm but not before).  It takes 24 hours to restart all the tripped out nuclear power stations.

A fairly large botnet is in the process of being shut down, so the fall of hash rate maybe caused by the botnet computers disconnecting.

Do many people in the UK switch on their electric kettles at 8:00 pm?

It was a traditional event on a Wednesday evening

Hmm.. my reward for round #20236 is ten times lower than usual.

btw, did you see new announcement on https://www.facebook.com/MiningBitcoinCz  ?

If it helps, mine was well within the bounds of what I consider "normal".

[Trongersoll]

Dang! Three in a row! Hope they are keepers.

[unknown.usr]

So I go down for 12 hours, and those are the 12 hours of good luck.   

[mo_mo]

is there a problem, the hash rate is not showing up correctly under my stats. it's dropped so much

Then try staying down?

I'm assuming this is just an example of 'British humour', lol.  Because if true, that is VERY odd societal 'behavior' (translation - behaviour).

No, it's because most people have a cup of tea mid-evening.

National Grid's control room has people sitting watching TV, getting ready for the big power drain to start...

no his absolutely right i live in the UK and they time the power for when certain TV shows are on , his also right that if millions turned there kettle on about 15 min before the end of the show it would freak out the power grid

keep them coming, 59 seconds for a block
