[Pouncer]

Wow! woke up to all the excitement of the ddos attack.
FYI, my public node died but local node running without intervention for the last 6 hours, currently at 22313

Well I was still stuck at 310 with wrong chain so I did the trick before I could read the last 3 pages here because of the 502s on Bitcointalk... now everything seems going well again, but it would be nice to understand the cause of those forks?

Intentional malice?

U r on a shorter chain.

I have one vps that is on higher chain and local client is behind. Both hallmarked.  Leaving it as is to see what happens.

Was expecting heavy attack today but at block 22000 - not this late. Attacks == fail

Just upgraded the well-known node that I run, 46.19.137.116 to the maximum my VPS provider offers, 8 CPU / 16 GB ram. It is at block 22350 now. Had to help it a bit by copying the latest blocks.nxt and transactions.nxt from my home laptop

Put hosts listed in lastBlockchainFeed about into "wellKnownPeers". Set other parameters to:

connectTimeout = 2000
readTimeout = 2000
pushThreshold = 1
pullThreshold = 1

- may be we need to set
pushThreshold = 500000
pullThreshold = 500000
in order to use only Hallmarked nodes?  to diminish the attack ?

500 seconds too much

- doesn't  pushThreshold define the hallmark weight ?  not seconds?

What are the important part for an vps instance?

RAM or CPU ?

[ArcticWolfie]

could somebody send me some coins to start with?

thx in advance!

and somehow I don't see the message: You can generate the next block in....
Am I doing something wrong?

Btw, I was seeing that memory leak in realtime during 200mb/s ddos attack on my 32 gb node.

pushThreshold is weight.

we should not assume the block explorer is always on the longest chain, should we?

Just started a new node.

Error log:

What's next, does it work as expected?

Check recent block number to make sure. I see 22351 now.

[Pouncer]

yep, same here. preparing an additional quad arm cluster (10x)  

If I had more funding, I'd roll out something better than now where are those stakeholders I wonder?

Pls post or pm me your account and let me know how much you need. My 500K Nxt pledge is still unutilized. Will channel as much as you need to help stabilize the network.
