I just noticed that it's one of my miners that found one of those blocks!! But I can't find where in the site I can see the information about what block I found. I just see I found one, as well as in my miner's interface. Is that info published somewhere?
You can work out the block from the cgminer "best share" Here's how: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=330665.msg5292279#msg5292279or post your best share and I'll do that  Haha, that's not as simple as adding subtracting some numbers... 106,908,021,038 is the best share shown by cgminer. I found 4 blocks in 6 months last year with 10 S1's, but I haven't found anything in the last 6 months with more than 20 times that hashrate... I was wondering if my miners were working properly or being hacked in some way (BGP hijacking or whatever). I'm now reassured and glad they can find blocks. Thanks! php hex.php 106,908,021,038 Output is: diff=106908021038 d1_16=... blk10=... blk16=a48d49162d676388b2dba0f93756cfb37c6cbbf830e66b2 So looking for a block 00a48d.... gives: nothing since 24-Feb  Not sure why. Either my php failed or ?. BTCGuild got an orphaned block this morning, maybe that was the block? Could that explain why nothing is found? That's what I first thought, but looking at those 3 above none were orphaned. ... checking orphans ... Yep there it is: https://blockchain.info/block-index/800504/00000000000000000a48d49162fcd579879ba25344f31226d3d002b05ae9ac93Nooooooooooooo!!  I don't know how to feel.  But well at least I know I can find valid blocks. Thanks for checking that out. I'm going to take your php source and play with it. |

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

An attack is hitting the initial pool connection server again. As usual, this only affects new incoming connections. If you already have an active mining connection, it is recommended you do not do anything that would cause your miner to restart or change which pool it's connected to for a few hours. If you do, have a backup pool setup or you may end up with hardware doing nothing while it tries to connect to the frontend mining server.

I don't know if you've kept up with other pool threads but in the last 48 hours all of the large pools have been hit with ddos attack or similar. This includes Cex, Ghash, Discues, BW, and possibly others. As it now seems its our turn to fight. Can't help but feel as though this a very organized situation and not a random selective occurrence.

DDoSes on pools have almost always hit multiple targets, ever since 2011. It was extremely rare for only one pool to be hit (one at a time maybe, but normally it was always at least 2-3 simultaneously, if not more). Kind of ironic that BTC Guild is on the hitlist when we're not even 5% of the network these days. |

Geee.... if every computer used for the ddos is vulnerable - just think about the hashrate if someone would strike back, remotely install a mining program on the involved computers and direct it on one pool *sigh** |

Most zombie machines are "mom and dad's computer", the ones that are 5-10 years old with no graphics card. Sure, there's some gamer rigs infected out there due to people pirating games with trojans embedded, but they are relatively rare. ASICs have virtually killed Bitcoin mining botnets. |

I connect to BTC Guild using a private IP given to me back in 2013. Does this still provide protection from DDoS attacks? I've seen the particular private IP address that I am using leaked for over a year.

The private DNS provided in 2013 during the attack still works, and while it has been leaked, it is unlikely to be noticed. There's a second private DNS that is given out specifically for DDoS protection. In both cases, they have been unaffected by recent attacks which were only hitting stratum.btcguild.com (and only the initial server used to validate clients). |

Mine at Jonny's Pool

That guy was posting in other threads that if you wanted your pool's luck to go to crap, just invite him to mine there. I think that post is nothing more than a poorly worded way to express his frustration at bad pool luck... I'm very sure that eleuthria's pool will solve at least one block between now and April  |
Jonny's Pool - Mine with us and help us grow! Support a pool that supports Bitcoin, not a hardware manufacturer's pockets! No SPV cheats. No empty blocks.

I'm assuming that was the person who made a thread title like it was a BTC Guild announcement (it's deleted now)? I was going to report the thread, but figured why bother since nobody was bumping it. Once it leaves the front page it might as well not exist. |

Hello again!
I regret to inform you that I blocked Bitcoin address to display this morning to address - 15MKe9ctZGgoSEW4uuYPP8sG6SQ7i3LRWX
But just now remembered that it is the address of the old wallet!
What should I do?

I was very happy to see the BTC guild is still online. I have read some time ago it was going to shut down and now when I started having problems with Ghash.io was very happy to see BTC guild! Mining there again now!

I've never had a problem connecting to btcguild. My S2 just had 70 days of uptime and only touched a failover pool once about 20 days ago when a change was made to the pool. I was going to post a screenshot but jinxed it and had a momentary power outage that restarted my miners. Even during DDOS my miners keep mining. BTCguild's uptime is practically 100% and other pools should take note. It's been a very good week for us luck wise. Glad we finally got those 1M and 3M percentages up.
