[4+ EH] Slush Pool (slushpool.com); Overt AsicBoost; World First Mining Pool

[lbr]

ddos gonna escalate in my opinion,we must implement some countermeasures,like udp and icmp filtering or engress filtering...

You can't counter DDOS, assuming it is organized 'right'.

[dmphotog]

I am expanding my mining rig with two more 7970's tonight.  Hopefully the DDOS is over by then.

we can use http://www.koddos.com/  or cloudfare to crank up the bw in order to migitate the ddos...

Has anyone make an account on another pool?

Has anyone make an account on another pool? 

No yet. I wait a day more

I'm using bitparking as my failover pool atm...get some merged mining

[klotzenhotz]

Has anyone make an account on another pool? 

Just tried 50BTC... ran for about a hour, then connection problems, too

I think its being DDOSed too.

Many pools are getting DDOSed at the same time. Some is trying real hard to drop the bitcoin difficulty.

Yeah, seems like a tough day for bitcoin miners

yo Slush,

I'm using cgminer 2.11.3, using stratum.bitcoin.cz, but my stats page on the pool site is giving me a huge red box deprecation warning   is everyone seeing this or ?  I am not using getwork...

If you use Getwork in a round, even when in the middle of it you swap to stratum, the red box still there until the round ends. And now we are in a long long round

EDIT: Misspell corrected

Yeah i get the same thing, both of my miners are using cgminer 2.11.2, one says i'm using stratum the other says its not.

Is there a setting in cgminer that may be making one of them use getwork?

[VacantPaper]

Guys, just chill. It isn't easy to fix/stop something like this, and I'm sure Slush is working as hard as he can on it while dealing with his own life.

[thehairymob]

My son moved his web site to another provider and he had trouble fixing it for days. Slushy is an old hand at this so I hope it doesn't take as long as that. Still there is a lot of hard work to move things over. I don't envy him. Good luck Slushy

[Camello_AR]

Anybody knows how to configure mining proxy (winver) to use with getwork?

I have a lot of cpu* getwork miners runing in a corporate intranet, and connect to my mining prox outside listen in 80port (due restrictions of corporate proxy cant connect to non HTTP ports), and my minprox is stratum to pool. Can´t connect direct miners to getwork pool due nature of ports involved.

*Yes, I know that CPU mining is "not reliable", but with a lot of machines, and not paying for power, I get some uBTCs every day

[nybbler905]

As an asside from the DDOS and the issues i have in canada connecting, looks like just over the border from me is at least one hop not properly responding

Every once in a while prior to the DDos i would get alot of errors related to the Stratum connection that was simple to resolve by restarting the proxy, currently tho I am getting the following error

2013-04-17 10:18:35,296 ERROR proxy client_service.on_timeout # Connection to up
stream pool timed out

Hopefully people remember tracert

yes, edited the first 2 ip addresses to prevent issues....
Point being there may be other issues stopping me from mining today

The computer power is a concept that can´t be stealead, due is not a thing, and power is relative, because computers are always on

[brucemangy]

I just found my 3 gpu have been running full power for nothing for 3 hours 30.
no share but heat produced so electricity used...

[AngelusWebDesign]

This might be an ignorant or obvious observation, but...

Didn't Slush have some kind of whitelist system, whereby "proven" IPs were allowed access, but others were not?

Maybe, in the future, Slush will have to be for those with static IP addresses only?
