[DEAD] DeepBit.net PPS+Prop,instant payouts, we pay for INVALID BLOCKS too

Btw, would it be realistic to think that these attacks could also exist because people want miners to go offline in order to drastically decrease the difficulty for a week?

I don't think that DDoS can decrease next difficulty at all.
Even in cause of powerful attack most users will just switch to another pool. The total network hashrate is not affected.

On the day of the last difficulty change, all of the pools got hit very hard. The day before our network total hashrate was 14Thash/sec.... When we approached the re-target they started attacking ALL major pools, and effectively dropped the network hashrate to under 9Thash/sec.

The estimated difficulty was to be around 1.59M and we ended up with 1.56M

It is hard to say for sure how much these attacks effected the retarget, but i think they did somewhat.


For a time I couldn't connect to ANY pool. I have accounts here, with btcguild, slush, reddit, etc. They all took a beating the other day.

That's just ~1.886% change and it may be caused by another factors.
I can estimate that you would have to block all pools and solo miners for more than 6 hours completely to make a 2% change if the hashrate is not growing.

Is there a reason the automatic payment hasn't gone out yet?
Thanks,

I guess you are right.... if it did effect it at all it couldn't possibly be by much at all.
I am just trying to figure out why it seemed like all of the pools got hit the day before and day of the re-target, it seemed to me like they were really trying to do something.

Anyways great job with the pool man, yours did much better than most others through those nasty attacks.... I myself got targeted by some DDOSings recently, and its not fun... My ISP just about turned off my dedicated server for good because the floods exceeded 20gbps and crippled their network.

Weird, I can hit Deepbit.net ok in my browser, but none of my workers can establish a connection

I'm unable to continuously mine with ufasoft cpu on linux, using minerd i can mine but at a much slower rate than is normal. It however exposes a few errors that show what the issue seems to be right now (for the last few days) with deepbit. I'll also post in the ufasoft thread to see if the miner can be improved.

I can mine for a little bit with ufasoft and then it goes to 0 when it hits a period of unavailability.

Tycho, is this due to the varying DDoS on the website that is going on, or is there another issue. Prior to this start of the DDoS, my linux clients were the highest producing Mhash/sec and they are essentially reduced in effectiveness to 30%.

[thefussydutchman]

All seems fine on my end. Thanks Deepbit!

[nikkuchan]

I'm having problems connecting too. 5 out of 6 miners are having problems trying to connect. It would connect for a couple minutes. And then the miner would restart itself when it had problems.

[der8auer]

Tycho can you say something about the downtimes in the last hours? Happens often that I can't connect to the deepbit homepage.

Still DDoS attacks?

[thefussydutchman]

Guys just chill out and let Tycho handle it.

The LP issue may be caused not by DDoS. Some versions of Ufasoft miner are trying to use LP incorrectly, thus we had to disable LP for Ufasoft miner at the pool side.

Yes, we had one yesterday and two today, but only part of users was affected this time.

Im in that "part", None of my miners want to connect. Wtf? my brothers miners are running but mine arent, We live in the same building mining though the same router

Just wanted to let you know the automatic payment isnt working. I was at .19 and set it to .25 btc. Im at .29 now and nothing has been sent.

what version? and if its a older version is it possible to just disable the older one?

Yes, if the problem version could be identified I could make a point of using a different version.  I have .13, .14 and .16 on hand.  I've been using 0.16 lately.

Just wanted to let you know the automatic payment isnt working. I was at .19 and set it to .25 btc. Im at .29 now and nothing has been sent. 

in my case, I see that payments happen every day around the same time:

2011-07-06 16:09
2011-07-07 17:24
2011-07-08 16:50
2011-07-09 16:23

and not the exact moment it goes over my set limit.

how much time since you went over .19?

I believe it is working correctly, it will automatically send you your balance, once per day, when over the limit you specify... It will not send the balance the minute you hit your limit, it will queue a transaction for the daily payout time because you have reached your set limit.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

that's correct.  my automatic payouts happen every night at 23:00.
