YIIMP IS A GOOD POOL--
The YIIMP pool, at "yiimp.ccminer.org" is run by tpruvot. He maintains the software code for CCminer, the YIIMP mining pool code, and wrote both the original Skunk CCminer code and the Skunk SGminer code.
Unfortunately, within the last 24 hours there were several timed, co-ordinated DDoS atacks on several Signatum (SIGT) pools. During this time several posters to this thread posted messages calling YIIMP a crooked pool. Apparently, YIIMP was among the pools attacked, and suffered performance lag. OCminer's SuprNova pool was also attacked, and also suffered performance lag.
One theory was that the attackers were attempting to control the SIGT net difficulty.
YIIMP is not a crooked pool. It is run by a major coder, and the pool fees cover his code development. SIGT would not be a success without the coding efforts of tpruvot. He has, in the past, paid miners out of his pocket due to wallet failures and losses due to attacks. It is unfair and disrespectful to blame tpruvot when the problem was caused by a DDoS attack.

well and lets not forget WHO patched the vulnerability and pushed the updates for ALL yimmps pools so that EVERYONE was safe?
Right, it was Epslyon3 (tpruvot) .
So people should think twice about accusing Tpruvot and his yiimp pool, as the OTHER pools like hashbag and Shit are DEPENDANT on Tpruvot , if he didn't find and fix this latest vuln, most yiimp pools would STILL be screwed.
So check yourself people haha, blame the noobs who just COPY code and use it, NOT the ones who keep it 100 (tpruvot)
