Here's what they have posted now: DDOS Attack on DigitalOcean.com
Tue Jul 9 19:59:00 2013
We've rolled out a few changes which should help in mitigating the attack and some customers should once again be able to access the website as well as the API.
We are continuing our efforts to completely resolve this issue and also reviewing the vector that was used for the attack to improve the resilience of our systems moving forward.
Tue Jul 9 20:43:10 2013
There is an on-going DDOS attack against digitalocean.com, no hypervisors or customer virtual servers are currently affected by this attack.
At this time the website and API are currently unavailable as we are working on mitigating the attack to restore the availability of both services.

I recommend dedicated servers, unless you find a reliable host that doesn't mind high cpu utilization. Got mine here https://robot.your-server.de/order/market , not as expensive as you might think and it runs a lot of stuff.  |

If digital ocean can just cancel the coupon code and let people pay for the services.
There is no need to make a bigger deal of it.....

Is mining Primecoins somehow against their terms of usage? If not, they really are calling the wrong people idiots when dealing with this 'attack'.

If somebody can help out here, I can't seem to find out how to do this using primecoind -?
What is the command to see wallet info/coins?
What is the command to send coins?

Is there a way to have the coins generate into a wallet on my local machine. Like if I use the same private key as my local wallet or something?

at least they have a lot of new customers!
Maybe, I am sure many are just using the free credit and will move on after. I must say I am impressed, they are surviving our onslaught pretty well. Assuming they don't cancel accounts or kill high usage instances, I will keep a few droplets up and running for other projects after. |

Same! I really like their interface, and for my uses its more natural than EC2. We'll see! |

I totally agree. I would totally use them again... I had never heard of them until today and I just gave them my credit card information!
Honestly, this is a pretty big marketing opportunity for them...

Just copy the same wallet.dat file to each machine. I think that might cause problems if you have blocks generated to over 100 addresses. Then the pre-generated pool of keys might run out and new keys would not be the same on all wallets. A deterministic wallet wouldn't have this problem, but I'm not sure if it's deterministic or not. |

Stop helping people like the moron above, if they can't figure out how to use primecoind, they shouldn't be mining.  I forgive you. All I needed was the document file with the commands..... |

But then how do they sync? I've only got like five instances running. |

So has anyone mined any primecoin yet? My transaction still doesn't show anything but judging by the specs of the vps i'm not surprised.
Yeah, my 30 tiny droplets have mined a total of around 22 blocks, some have been up for 32 hrs +, some I put up just 8 hrs ago or less. |

But then how do they sync? I've only got like five instances running. The wallet you initially create on one machine is filled with 100 keys. If you copy the same wallet to other machines, they will use those same keys. When one machine generates a block, the other machines pick it up from that block since they have a key for the address where the block reward went to. |
