EU-Stratum was (is) under attack. The DNS was updated to a spare server, but unfortunately DNS updates can sometimes take quite a while before you see them on your end due to DNS caching. The total full downtime was close to 20 minutes [the spare server wasn't caught up to the blockchain]. As of right now it looks like the vast majority of users have managed to connect to the spare server.

All previous USB Block Erupter buyers have been given 50 coupons each. These will be replenished over time as more inventory arrives.

Aaargh. I don't know where I could possibly put 50 more of these. The bad thing about them is that it's starting to cost me more for the hubs and fans than it costs for the BEs.... BTCG is going to be the first 400 Th/s pool - just from all the block erupters it sells...  |

BitMinter has been seeing (ineffective) DDoS attacks constantly all day. UDP flood, SYN flood, TCP attacks. Someone is pulling out all the stops. |

I wonder if they're trying to affect the total network Hashrate right before the Difficulty Change. Which doesn't really make sense. Doesn't the whole throughput during the current difficulty affect the next difficulty not just the hashrate during the change?

This attacker (based off the timing and types of attacks) has been poking at BTC Guild a few times (3 times this week), so I doubt it's related to difficulty changes. But as you pointed out, it wouldn't matter since the adjustment is based off the entire 2016 block time frame. |

I had 4 awaiting hubs. today i got two new Hubs in from china. they are like the anker 9 port ones, but not anker, $53 free shipping on eBay. two week delivery time. i was hoping that these 2 would be the last hubs i bought. hmmm.... |

Disrupt all major pools to gain advantage propagating your blocks. |

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

That would be a disturbing dynamic if somehow an inter miner war gave profitable outcomes

I'm not very impressed with these new 9+1 plastic pieces of junk, by the way. I was thinking as i was writing the previous post that Eleuthia could probably get a good quantity discount on Hubs from china and pass a little on to us. But as wonky as the Hubs perform, support and returns would be murder. I wouldn't wish it on anybody. Getting these things to work is partly Voodoo and i'm running out of chickens. Someone would really have to design a port from scratch to be robust enough to support Erupter mining. They need to be over engineered. What is currently available is wearing out way too quickly and of poor quality. |

I cannot stop getting them...  |
