Previous Solidcoin balances have been restored and can now be withdrawn. If you were a member of solidcoin.simplecoin.us previously and do not have a matching account, please either setup a matching account at simplecoin.us or contact me via PM.
Please note there is a 5% tax on SC coins currently. Until I have a way to calculate the SC client fees (likely once the pool is up), it will remain in effect.

We'll be fine. Simplecoin is too small to fail.  |

We'll be fine. Simplecoin is too small to fail. yeah, your right. maybe the ddos will continue to for another 106 blocks. I don't get it. Why are the next 106 blocks (Bitcoin or Namecoin) important? That reminds me, I hope you all ensure your setups are solid and make sure your miners are picking up namecoins. It would be good if we were all ready when the Namecoin difficulty drops 4-fold (176 Namecoin blocks to go). If the simplecoin.us pools manage some moderately good luck and maintains no downtime at all for the next round (hard to imagine it lasting longer than 36 hours) then it could mean a big boost for the pool (if namecoins are more profitable to mine than bitcoins then merged mining will definitely stand out). The nice thing about this difficulty drop is that the difficulty will only be able to come back up 4-fold for the next round and so we'll have another 2016 blocks at difficulty 95000. It won't be until Namecoin block 24192 that we finally have a 6-digit Namecoin difficulty! Good luck to us all! |

10%+ drop will be a nice bonus! Assuming we can get away from this unfortunate "luck" we've been having here lately. |

Ah, I see. I've not been paying attention to the bitcoin mining for a while now. is there any benefit if my miner joining the team
As I understand it, the teams are there for entertainment only (much like with folding@home). I'm sure some people would love for you to join their favourite team. It won't make a difference to your income. |

Now simplecoin appears to be down (at least for me) Anyone else having problems? Slush is now back up, did the attackers move their attack, or is simplecoin just being updated again? |

Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 110 |

The pool server is unreachable. Working with the hosting company. UPDATE: It seems one of the other hosted machines at the datacenter was binding itself to all the available datacenter IPs as well as being used to attack them. Hopefully, they will have the issue sorted shortly. UPDATE: Pool is back up! UPDATE 3: As for SAC, rather than spend time wasted rebutting you. I'm taking the time to add more auditing calculations. In turn, it will be easy enough for anyone to see their historical stats & payouts. In special cases like yours, it could even show said stats publicly. UPDATE 4: Looks like the stats sql replication server hung with the first outage.... And during that time, we found some blocks (BTC included)!  |

Man, that was some serious downtime!
It's good to see that the pool was scoring blocks that weren't being shown. We already had bad luck but since the first outage things quickly became suspiciously bad. With the backdated blocks in place we are back to simply experiencing bad luck.
Caution: I would strongly recommend that if you mine here that you have a good backup pool configured for yourselves. I've been saying that this pool is good for it's server reliability and uptime, and indeed over the past month it's been excellent, but having two recent serious outages in the last 3 days is very poor. The simplecoin.us servers are certainly not reliable now and it will take a long time for this reputation to return.
Please keep us updated on the data centre madness Mike.

I'm told the issue is resolved and the responsible machine decommissioned. Even still I'm watching closely. |
