Still having huge problems with idle miners and disconnects, even using -q 3 flag doesn't help. Though I never had this problem before. Will check back in several hours, thanks for all the great work you do on the pool  |

I went over to Eligius for a few hours but after seeing a much higher rate of stale shares, I think it's probably better just to stay with Guild and deal with the occasional connection timeouts.

With a little luck, everything will be returning back to normal after this post.
I don't have anything to add that will help, but I just want to say: I think you are doing a great job with your pool. Please keep doing what you do. You have many supporters. |

It might just be issues with BTCguild right now. Been having connection problems for a little bit now  It's a good pool, just might need a little expansion. I'd suggest setting up a backup pool that you can rotate to if your main one is having issues. |

ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: Bitcoin returned unparsable JSON System info: Quadro FX 770M Diablominer Win7 x64 Thanks, If you are new to this pool... BTC Guild is experiencing minor technical difficulties at the moment. The "difficulties" currently experienced are: Idles, RPC errors, and connections errors. All of these error are sporadic and are in the process of being eliminated by the pool maintainer: eleuthria. In the mean time, configure your miners to point to this pool as well as a back-up pool (so you won't loose any mining time). Thank you for your patience. |

The only reason I was asking was because I was also having issues mining solo (lol yeah.....) and was just trying to make sure it wasn't a config issue on my end. Cheers, DB |

Did a quick restart to enable a complete log for pushpool. These issues are absolutely being caused by an attack that is hitting it with requests for work at an alarming speed, and it's not legitimate requests. Letting the logs run for another 10 minutes so I can compare the amount of requests made per IP and the amount of work returned per IP and zero in on bad IPs.

I know I shouldn't use 24 hour periods to judge a pool but I've mined 4 BTC over a 24 hour period at Guild. BTC Mine with their crazy stale shares still gave me 5-6 BTC before I came to Guild. Deepbit gives me 5 BTC using PPS.
Is it because we just had shitty luck and some outages over the past 24 hours?
I hear ya i came over about the same time as you and i have also noticed i am getting considerably less in a 24hr period than i was getting at BTCMine even with all there stale shares... Deepbit was giving second most with there high rates.. even with quick blocks i still get less and this pool isnt too much faster than BTCMine... Not too sure what to make of it but with all the connection problems i have jumped to BTCMine for a while until this pool gets back up. Will see after that. I really like how the site here is set up and how the pool owner handles things right away though so if the connection errors get fixed maybe i will come back. |

Fight the DDoS with more hardware! Fund the hardware by giving those with higher donation %s preferential treatment for connections!

Parsing through about 2 million lines worth of logs right now after running a sample on the first 5 minutes. Will likely be banning some IPs based off what I saw in the 5 minutes (people with over 1000 requests for work but less than 10 results sent back, some with 0).

What is the problem to do this banning automatically? either using iptables or directly in the pool server daemon?
Count number of requested shares, returned .. if exceeds some maxima, ban the IP for 10 minutes.
Doing this by "hand" from logs is tedious work which will not adapt to other DDoSers.

Doing it automatically will take more time to develop the code. I'd rather he fix the problem quickly, then go back and look for an elegant way to do it. |

Unless there are only a few (like 3 or 4) IPs doing this, writing a quick log parsing tool would probably be quicker than doing it by hand.

How about deny everything and have people enter their worker IPs when they setup workers. Then just open up the source IP for each worker. |
