The network tries to produce one block per 10 minutes. It does this by automatically adjusting how difficult it is to produce blocks.

Everything is going to be just fine. If it is an attack, it will take a while before a significant forking can occur. The miners will certainly reemerge before then.
Relax.

Yesterday it had deepbit on there. Not sure how accurate it was or how often it was updated but deepbit is kinda hard to miss.

It could be that miners are working at deepbit, but you cannot get the reporting because the site is down.
can anyone mining at deepbit confirm.?
edit: the 'other' is deepbit if this is the case

No. The 'other' category is all the blocks produced by miners not known to be associated to a pool, including all of the pools that bitcoinwatch is not yet aware of. It doesn't, in fact, mean anything at all other than that more than 50% of the current hashing power is anonymous. |
"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

If you are in a pool which is down and are concerned about network security the best thing you can do is start mining. Either with another pool or solo. Anything to keep aggregate hashing power up. I don't think this is a 51% attack but everyone can treat it like a "fire drill".  |

If everyone mining in a pool switched to mining solo, the end result for network security (if not personal income) is the same, yes? |

Only change would be some increased revenue volatility for the miner which is a small price to pay for network security. The pool I am in is still running solidly, even stales are low so it must not be part of the DDOS target (so far). Still if it went down I would flip over to solo mining. |
