The website has been getting "attacked" on & off all day, yes. I have to occasionally switch the settings to 'Under Attack' mode which uses those browser verification pages. The pool itself is unaffected though.
What's the point? Say they confirm a username or two, are you gonna sit back and allow account modification? Obviously their goal is to steal money from accounts which haven't utilized any of the available security settings. I honestly have no idea what they expect to get, the amount of effort they've put into this attack (they've been doing this on & off for months), there are definitely more lucrative possibilities than trying to break into a random account. |

Why attack a customer's website? Why attack the providers infrastructure? Other then aggravating the technicians as the source/destination is usually isolated within moments and mitigated. I don't get what they intend to accomplish? |

Don't give eleuthria a hard time, my email and wallet were locked to a lavabit account that got closed down (because of Edward Snowden using Lavabit) and he was more than helpful in getting my email and wallet changed to what I needed all while still mitigating DDOS/Intrusion attacks.

The latest round of block erupter inventory has arrived. Backorders will start getting cleared out tomorrow and be fully cleared by Thursday. An extension of ASICMINER's coupons will also be available for the remaining orders that were placed at 1.05 BTC last month. These coupons will be made available on Monday, and start shipping Tuesday [Monday is a holiday in the US so no mail will be moving].

These the new improved 'pink' versions ? Sadly, I've just finished unpacking everything...all black again  . I guess I'll have to delete my promotional ads for "Complete your set today" with a 10% premium on the new colors (/s). |

Unfortunately, cloudflare's "under attack mode" does tend to break the vast majority of API programs for IPs that haven't managed to get whitelisted previously. I had to leave this mode on since I was away from a computer for a large chunk of the day (outside of my emergency laptop). |

BTCguild is not being DDOSed the way you might normally think of a DDOS attack. It is getting hit by a Botnet user trying many many thousands of logon/password combinations per hour. Attempting to hack and steal coins from user accounts....

Hi, it would be nice to add this on your pool :
1) remove worker function (do you need more explanation ?)
2) remove user function.
thanks for this
Roland
