So is anything being done about this attack? I havent mine TRC in more than a day....
To be honest the only solution is to wait. Attackers paid for certain amount of "ddosing time". We have to wait until they run out of money. Otherwise we have to buy ddos protection which would cost us much more that attackers paid. It is sad but it is true. PS ISP doesn't help a lot. They are periodically disconnecting our server from internet because they are "protecting" their network. I'm completely ignorant on how much this kind of stuff costs. How much would you "wild ballpark guess" that a DDOS like this would cost, and how much would the DDOS protection cost? And who would you pay the DDOS protection cost to? Your server hosting company? Always one smartass out there. Let me help your ignore button become a little more yellow. |
Charlie Kelly: I'm pleading the 5th. The Attorney: I would advise you do that. Charlie Kelly: I'll take that advice under cooperation, alright? Now, let's say you and I go toe-to-toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor? The Attorney: You know, I don't think I'm going to do anything close to that and I can clearly see you know nothing about the law.

Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.

In simple words, you can afford DDoS protection if your site earns you a few hundred dollars a month. Cloudflare (which BTC-E uses now) offers DDoS protection woth plans starting $200 a month |

Cloudflare (which BTC-E uses now) offers DDoS protection woth plans starting $200 a month Assuming "few" means "5", I think you have to earn a bit more then a few hundred dollars a month to make a $200 a month plan viable. Considering DDOS won't be constant, it might make more sense just to bite the bullet and suffer for one week every few months or so rather then pay the protection. |

$200 dollars wouldn't get you much protection tbh, in fact $400 dollars would only get you slight protection, if you wanted something quite substantial like 10gbps of sin flood filtering then you would either need good friends or very deep pockets, 50+gbps and I think you would need the annual turnover of a large corporation to justify the cost. As a quite rough rule of thumb if you say $1/month per 1mbps of protection might give you an idea of the sort of cost involved. |

Dear Mr. Coinotron!
OK, ddos = site is not working.
But can you send confirmated NVC that I was mining whole day?
I am waiting for your payment 2 days yet!
Automatic payments in my account are enabled.

I'm not sure if Coinotron ever got around to even enabling the NVC payouts before the DDOS hit. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. |

This is the kind of information you can't get by typing in ddos+protection+cost into Google.  |

Works for me. Make sure you cleared your hosts file (if you ever modified it). |

Funny, cuz this forum is about Coinotron and he wasn't referring to BTC-e as being down, only that they purchased DDOS protection

Cloudflare (which BTC-E uses now) offers DDoS protection woth plans starting $200 a month $200 and they are still down How can it be interpreted? I said BTC-E used cloudflare. Coinotron doesn't use any protection at all. Anything is clear to me. Maybe you just can keep feeling funny without writing pointless posts?  |
