bitcoind and namecoind both slowed down at the same time. There's some sort of issue there. Pool recovered after a couple of minutes though.
juhakall, a 4/4 difficulty proof being rejected sounds strange.. I'll have a look at it. This was with Stratum?
Not sure if this is the same incident or not, but cgminer lost the pool for half an hour. Cgminer was stuck. Bitminter alive, but no work. Wouldn't fail over. Going to get the new version and see what happens. |

After getting Stratum support it seems some miner programs had various issues. Crashing if the server disconnects them, going to failover and never returning to the main pool, or not going to failover pool at all. Just make sure you use the latest version of your chosen miner, things are getting sorted out. The good thing with ASICs being delayed for months is that by the time they arrive most client and server issues have already been fixed.  |

Do you attribute the significant decrease in mining power to be a result of the issues? |

I think it is partly because of reward halving and partly because of the various issues that caused an unstable service lately. Of course miner bugs related to being disconnected by the server makes the consequences of a server failure more serious as it can cause miners to bug out as well. I am working on server stability and I am sure miner authors are working on their issues. |

This is just ridiculous. The top pools won't pay them so they hammer the next tier pools instead. Have they ransomed you yet? This has gotten beyond a joke. It's now threatening mining infrastructure. Every college holiday, same thing. |

No, I haven't received anything.
Last time there was an extortion email sent through the contact form on the website just before the attack started. Nothing this time.

Don't worry, we are still with you They will finally stop DDoS and we will back to mining. |

Maybe Im just naive, but what would a person/group gain from DDoSing a pool like this? I would think most miners have a backup pool in place and there for it does not affect the network hashrate. The pool OP would be the only one really hurting as far as I can tell.

Who is using the bitminter client has no backup pool though (it would be nice to have it). I found that it was down after a while when I perceived a lower temp in my room.

I use .bat files to launch cg-miner.
On my desktop is one .bat for Bitminter and one .bat for Slush.
If one pool goes down i exit the current cg-miner script and run the other.
I might have to automate this on a scheduled task as this is happening a little to often now.

You can also add more Pools to your cgminer like I do.
In cgminer use [P]ool and then [A]dd the "back up" pool.
Use failover in the Pools mining strategy to mine at the backup pool when the main pool is down.

NEED help with getting a backup pool. can some one explain to me what to do to get one.
Suppose you wanted to set BitMinter as your primary pool and BTC Guild as your secondary. If you were mining with 4 BFL Singles on COM3, COM4, COM5, and COM6, you could run a command like the following to accomplish your goal using CGMiner. cgminer-fpgaonly.exe -o http://mint.bitminter.com:8332 -u YourUsername_WorkerName -p WorkerPassword -o mergedmining.btcguild.com:8332 -u YourUsername_WorkerName -p -1 -S \\.\COM3 -S \\.\COM4 -S \\.\COM5 -S \\.\COM6 The "-p -1" where the worker password is supposed to be on the secondary pool is to denote a null password, as I couldn't find any way to create worker passwords on BTC Guild. If you need help using video cards, I'm sure there are others on the forum who can assist, but I've never use CGMiner with anything BFL products. Good luck! WP |
