[NSFW] Official Sexcoin Thread - New MANDATORY upgrade: KGW Timewarp attack FIX

[fcjuventus]

When will cpool.pro be back online again? 

Join us in http://sexcoin.ecoining.com/

The pool is working great, mining and payments are working fine. We've got some DNS problems that are gonna be solved in the next hours, so if the website doesn't load, just try again in a minute and it'll work.

It's still in beta, so fees are 0%

why 120 confirms? is it really necessary?

We really believe in Sexcoin and we want long term miners who believe in it too. 120 confirms dissuade pool hoppers and give more security to the system.

Someone started DDoSing my pool (thec0de.com) starting last night at 1:30AM PST. Took the whole hosting node down

Not sure why someone wants to attack my pool - If you have a problem with it or something, email me please lol. Why DoS me?

EDIT: We're going to be down for the better part of the day unfortunately...and it's the damn weekend - Whoever is DoSing me and may be reading this - WHY?!?!?! Sad :::: - Not sure what I did to piss you off man..but hit me up and we can likely get ya squared away..

I was finally able to log into the pit this morning. My logs were filled with attack attempts.
Which is yet another explanation of the issues the pool has been having. The datacenter told me its been under attack on and off since the 9th.
I have a strong suspicion we are all getting it.

We need a new thread......"So you want to run a pool?"

Keep up the good work gr33k!

@danimono: You don't have to put in anything in the bat, because failover is default. You should use cgminer <=3.5.0

Example for automatic switching on three pools:

Code:

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o first.pool -u username -p pass -o second.pool -u username -p pass -o first.pool -u third.pool -p pass ... -I 20

If first.pool is down, cgminer switches to second.pool and so on. If first.pool is available again, it switches automatically back to it.

I run my miners with 4 failovers. One thing, check the "Failover only" setting. If this is disabled it may begin a 'round robin' for share submission.

LoL I hear ya man - keep up the good work with the coin and all too lava

Not sure who's got it out for SexCoin pools lately - but I wish they'd at least make the point of all this known... Why are you attacking us? Is it the competition? Because if so - we can always spread the love lol -

My pool, for example, can only handle so many workers - I'd prefer to team up and have a SexCoin pool chain or something if that's the case.

If you're just doing it to be a dick....ah well then - shit ... cut it out! ;P

OK - my thoughts over this DDos'ing. I'm just a user of the pools and with not much experience in the technicalities let me chip in with why I think all the pools are getting 'attacked' : I am convinced that not only the SXC but also most other coins are becoming attractive to the masses and some amongst those masses want to gather as many coins as possible to themselves, so they simply want to stop the process of all us miners getting a chunk of the cake by DDos'ing so they can mine along on their own servers while all other servers are down..

Quite possibly what's happening It's low enough difficulty I suppose - but it's really hurting the coin overall (though selfishness & greed, DO blind people..).

Hopefully they got enough blocks to have a happy stash now

Hi,

New here. So what is this dos attack , wasn't this crypto currency something nobody could stop ? wasn´t super secure ? . I don't see future on something that can't be protected since evil will be always there. Right now i can´t even open the wallet wtf . Have you heard if this is happening to all crypto coins or only here? . Which files I have to move if i want to reinstall the wallet btw?

Hope we solve this soon, thanks.

[punkrock]

@danimono: For a new wallet you only have to backup your wallet.dat and copy it into the same folder again after re-installin the wallet.

I generally try to keep this subject off the threads. My feeling is that when we report DDoSing we are actually feeding the beast. Most of the tech's I know that have engaged in this activity are egomaniacs with inferiority complexes, and a little unbalanced, so anything said about it has unpredictable results.

But the elephant is sitting in the middle of the room right now. Here's my list:

Lavapit pool: DDoSed, ssh-brute-force, web frontend crafted packets, rpc discovery.
Lavapit SXC Node: DDoSed, ssh-brute-force, attempts at rpc. ( Yes, this is an attack on known nodes. )
Lavajumper P2Pool: DDoS, firewall brute-force login attempts.
Lavapit Faucet ( even offline ) : DDoS, web frontend crafted packets.
My Dev Environment: DDoS, ssh brute-force.
[EDIT:]
Block explorer: DDoS

This all began around the 9th, and has been continuing with varying frequency.

Anyone else?

[skywave]

@lavajumper - yes in hindsight I kind of regret I did bring it up here - and your reflections over the topic I can fully agree about: don't attract unwanted attention..
As to your data above: WOW - one would wish there was a way to 'hit right back' at those stupid people..

[Uwe501]

Website lag should be fixed now, tweaked the webserver.
I ould be happy if you join my Pool.

Thanks everyone for mining!

Lava: Change SSH-Port and don't care about SSH-brute-attemps, every server get's them.

@mrbickle: I'm constantly being logged out from your site - and have to login again - when browsing the different areas of your site - is that something you are aware of?

Really? If that was few hours ago, it has been fixed, if you are still experiencing issues, we'll investigate. Anyone else experiencing this issue right now?

..o-ooohhh now I think I found out - problem not on your site I think - I was mining on a couple of CPU cores while also mining on a GPU and that apparently took away too much power for the browser to function properly - so disregard my query

Any updates from the community about merchant adoption ?

good against skids, but defeated by an slow trickle nmap But yes, that does reduce the traffic dramatically.
The reports I made before are above and beyond the normal 'noise' that we all get.

once those guys start to get a piece of led in between the eyes the message will get across. They are not techies, they are criminals, and to be honest, there's no shortage of those in the crypto community
